Yes what’s the deal. Because until yesterday I didn’t heard about them.

I don’t even know what it is. Is it a desktop Linux distribution? Is anyone using it at all?

Some rich dudes pushing money into it. That’s all that I know.

Apparently, there is even a movie about this joke… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_(film)

ok so it’s the classic compfort vs. security… kind of.

Why the heck do we have such a technology in CPUs?

So as a user you should actually be more concerned about what regulations exist in the region you’re living, not of the region the server is histed. Because that’s the law you have to abide by.

Worst thing regarding the law of the server position is, that your post will be deleted / account will be banned.

And in the context of Online behavior I would argue, that in general all American/European laws are the same.

If we want to talk about details: In germany a very serious crime that is activly enfored, is to downplay crimes of the nazis. Even something like saying “trivial thing x is as bad as what the nazis did” could be interpreted as such a crime.

This is perfect for people planing to get pulled over and have to explain sone things, on an airport …

No one can exit vim. It’s simply not possible.

There are even legends that the devil himself was onced tricked into opening vim and is stuck there since.

How can it be, that the Iranian terror regime appears more simpatic than the current US Government?

Windows …

Because I don’t want an OS that just works.

I think this libcudnn is a Nvidia CUDA thing. I guess you have checked that the correct CUDA libs are installed and blended has permission and knows where to look for them?

First start for learning blender Python API would be it’s documentation: https://docs.blender.org/api/current/index.html

In general you can skip anything that you can do on the user interface. But video editing is just a very small part of this and if you don’t have any programming experience yet this could be overkill for what you are looking for.

Perhaps someone had the same problems like you before and implemented something. Maybe searching explicitly for blender video editing automation or Python API will give you some results.

I know that’s not a ready to use solution but blender has a very powerful python API which should allow you to automate everything including doing calls to a AI backend of your choice if needed.

Please, someone make a movie out of it!

I feel like the LLM guy should be the psycho doctor doing unethical experience with the clinic patients…

Of course they do. They want to keep control over monetization. They don’t care about creators at all.

My best advice is:

Don’t listen too much about what strangers on the Internet say you should do or use.

Non of us has statistics to pull from. Mostly it’s individual experience mixed with personal preferences. All that could be different for someone else. E.g. some people will have problems with Nvidia, other with AMD.

Stick to the basic and add fancy stuff later on.

Don’t pick a distribution because of the Desktop environment. Or because someone said it has a nifty feature. People create new distros all the time just for fun and not because there would be a real reason for it. Looking on the release cycle would probably be the most basic decision you should take. Read about the differences between “rolling release” and “long time support” and decide base on you personal use case.

Have a backup strategy

This is nothing limited to Linux but since you are planing to switch your habits, there is a high possibility you will mess up at some point. Best would be you try to stimulate the worst case and look if you would be able to setup your system in a VM or something.

Don’t be afraid to try things out

Especially when you know that your backup is working. There is not much you can lose. Don’t be afraid of using Arch Linux e.g. just because someone on the Internet said it’s just for pros or something.

So this last one is maybe just the consequences of all the above. But yeah I guess that’s all I could say for now 😅

Maybe it depends on who you ask or where you are. Maybe a US vs EU thing? I never was a professional Musician, but when I started reading about creating/composing music for Video Games I learned that many professional Studios run on Windows because of proprietary standards and software. that is not available for Apple (and Linux)

Really? last time I checked Windows was the dominant player in professional music production but I guess trends can change very quickly.

So there is no real reason preventing Linux to become the domint system at any time.

Wait… there is a different C than C#?

I thought that’s what GIF was created for… Even if the original introduction of it is saying something completely different.

I think you misunderstood the purpose of this. This is not for citizens to join it’s an instance for government officials and offices. This is very good practice to prove a account is the official account.

But honestly I have more trust in my government to not exploit on me then I have in meta/Twitter.
