Depends on the person, but sometimes things such as:
“Is there anything you do, watch, listen to, say or have done in the past, which is currently illegal in another country?”
“Did you see how in the US, some states have just recently made abortion illegal, and in others, you can get in trouble with the police for wearing clothes which they don’t think match your birth gender? Both things were perfectly legal a few years ago”
“Imagine it’s 2024 and mandateless unelected UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says model railways are offensive to motorists, so they’ve banned them”
“Do you think Facebook’s going to defend your privacy when the government makes model railways illegal, Dad?” :P
I’m sure they could do without the overhauls every few years, but this one’s important. Gove’s removal of “learning around a subject to understand a subject” and replacing it with “memorise and repeat a list of things you’re told are correct, without thinking about them” was bad for pupils, bad for teachers and bad for the future of the country.
You’ve probably got your answer already, but just wanting to confirm that Kdenlive can do all the things you listed.
Though the editor itself is very easy to use and obvious (if you previously have used premiere etc), you might find the UI for some of the individual effects a bit confusing. There’s tool tips and sometimes help videos and stuff, but you might find yourself dragging a few sliders left and right to find out what they actually do :)
Note that generally speaking, Kdenlive doesn’t currently support graphics-card-accelerated timeline preview very well, so if you’re packing on the effects, you might not get real-time playback in the timeline without “preview rendering”. If you ever used Premiere 20 years ago, it works the same as that.
From memory, Olive has the best “in-timeline” graphics card acceleration - but is otherwise at a much earlier stage of development.
As others have mentioned, some or all of these are also doable in Shotcut, Openshot, Olive.
Also, you might be interested in TJFree Tutorials on YouTube, which has a playlist of Kdenlive tutorials - for older versions, but it’s mostly going to be the same. He also has tutorials in loads of other FOSS creative software. I found he tended to be “clear and efficient” and doesn’t take 5 minutes to give you 1 minute’s information.
I had a lot of fun customizing it, the best part of GNOME Flashback? Well, it doesn’t mess my main Ubuntu desktop environment, in fact, both DE look very similar and have the same icons!! Only “Main Menu” was installed but it only affects GNOME Flashback. I love GNOME and Ubuntu so much.
I didn’t realise this option existed - and it’s an interesting one, perhaps giving the ease-of-use of Mate/Cinnamon/Gnome 2, without sticking with the older code.
Why is the unity is underrated when its what i use right now with Ubuntu Unity and its actually really great experience for my 2021 HP Stream 11 Laptop and i hope you all to share your experiences using the unity de in Debain Ubuntu Arch Fedora Gentoo Opensuse Etc thanks for your Amazing community my Wonderful Friends
How’s it meant to be pronounced? I’ve only ever seen it written down.
Chick feeler? Chick filler? Chick fill urgh Chick fill Ah
I just don’t understand what they’re trying to call it. Unless it is “filler”, my best guess is something like “fillet”, though I can’t make the letters match up with the words.
I don’t know whether this is an unpopular opinion or not but I actually think that the way Tasha Yar died gave the show much higher stakes throughout it’s entire run.

My nose/sinus/throat is all very sensitive to perfumes and aerosols these days, and even if it’s not strong enough to close my throat up and choke me, it still tends to make me feel sick. I’ve not used any spray and rarely any smelly stuff for over a decade.
Most soaps and some shower gels are fine though, so there’s no problem with starting a day “clean”.
On the morning train, you can normally smell people who use deodorant instead of washing. It’s quite hard to describe - air freshener in a festival toilet? Artificial sweeteners on a stilton cheese? Anyway, if their perfume isn’t strong enough to physically harm me, I don’t care.
I used spray deodorants as a teenager, and unscented roll-ons for many years after - but after stopping using it, I found, like the couple you mentioned, that I didn’t sweat as much, and the sweat that was there didn’t smell as bad. Oddly enough, anecdotal evidence suggests my natural smell increased my attractiveness quite significantly. Of course, all of these may have just been coincidental factor of age/hormones/circumstances etc though.
I was a bit paranoid for some years, and always asked/checked with trusted people “do I smell?”. I found I can smell myself when I do.
My work is sometimes quite physically demanding, so during the ~two months a year when it’s potentially warm (Northern UK), you can get a bit sweaty - but so is everyone else. If you really feel the need, a quick armpit wash in a sink at lunchtime, or a “festival shower” with a wet-wipe would sort that out.
Anyway, so the rough answer is “There is less body odour. You get used to what’s there. Most of it smells quite pleasant, sometimes even to the extent of it being animalistically magnetically attractive”

“Skinny” jeans, or other skintight trouser variations. Been a fad four times during my life, I think. Somehow manage to be slightly more ridiculous each time.

Yeah, you just have to wait it out for a few years. Can’t be long before it moves back to new variants of straight, loose, baggy, bootcut and flared and that sort of thing etc. I’m stocking up next time.
I thought I once visited a website that showed all the crimes Nestle has done like slave labor and taking water from lands and selling it. I can’t seem to find it now. Would you guys know which link I’m talking about?
Not quite sure what you’re after - but on the off chance, I’ll mention LMMS, as I don’t think it’s already been mentioned amongst the other audio software.
Absolutely - and it’s interesting that such seemingly unique architecture actually looks like several different places. Near where I live in the UK, there’s an area that could have looked quite like this in 1930 (though was heavily bombed in WW2, so absolutely doesn’t now).
Absolutely! The original focus on having a black cat day specifically included black-and-white cats.
“When the campaign was launched, statistics revealed that black and black-and-white cats took, on average, seven days longer to find a home compared to cats of other colours”
This is definitely something that’s needed, so thanks for taking the initiative to start something :)
Just to note, your front page suggests darktable as an Illustrator replacement - whereas I would have said Inkscape is the Illustrator replacement (they are both vector graphic editors) and that Darktable is for processing raw digital photographs.
I love Kdenlive, though it’s always worth keeping an eye on Openshot, Olive, Shotcut etc.
Is there any scope to allow the interoperability to work with multiple software on each end (i.e. Gimp or Krita with Kdenlive or Olive) - or does it complicate things too much?
My phone is about 15cm (~5¾ in) tall, and to me, that’s the absolute maximum. It’s slightly too big. The width, about 7cm (~2¾ in) is totally fine.
This (Galaxy XCover 5) was the smallest phone that seemed to exist (and I wanted one woth durability, removable battery, SD slot, headphones etc). It was very expensive though.
Trying to find cheaper ones for various people in the extended family, they all specified “oh, not bigger than my current one”, but it was impossible. There’s basically nothing less than 16cm tall, and most are even bigger.
I’m scared of this one breaking. The XCover 6 is 17cm x 8cm.
If it were shoes I’d say “just get ten sets of what’s the right size”, but the problem with tech is we’re still going to want more ram, more storage etc.
Like who is going to keep all the buttons, ports, dimensions and connectivity, whilst upgrading the innards?
Sorry, I was unclear. I’ve got a pair of workshoes that fit me perfectly - so I bought 5 pairs exactly the same. When my current pair wears out in a year, I’ll replace it with an identical pair.
It would be tempting to buy 5 copies of my current phone - except by the time this one breaks in 3-4 years, the innards (processor/ram/storage) will be poor in comparison to newer versions, and it may not be able to run newer versions of software.
It is a shame that no company is saying “lets keep it basically the same on the outside, but improve the internal specs” - they tend to do things like making it bigger, removing headphone ports, removing other physical buttons, or making it thinner but giving it a rubbish battery that’s nonreplaceable.
I used Thinkpad as a comparison, as you can still buy an older model of Thinkpad and pack it with newer innards - so buy the older model with the case you like, but refurbished with more ram, a better processor etc.
If you put my 2 year old Thinkpad laptop next to my old one, they look pretty much the same, except the new one is thinner and much lighter - they still both have physical touchpad buttons, the trackpoint, lots of ports down both sides. I can still use my older laptop bag, because they’re nominally the same size and shape.
I wish some phone models followed a similar process - “here’s the same thing you already have, but better”.
I would absolutely love a barebones, tiny, configurable Raspberry Pi of phones.
That looks perfect - until I saw it’s £850! My current phone was about £250, which was more expensive than I wanted - but the only one that was small enough and had the dust/water/drop-off-a-ladder resistance.
Still, those S23s may be cheap in a few years when they’re “old” :)
There’s some great suggestions here, if feasible - but if it’s just round the windows, I’d probably just wipe it off and not worry too much. I don’t think I’ve ever lived anywhere where that didn’t happen in at least one room.
Some “mould and mildew spray” from your local “bits and bobs” shop would do the job fine, or sugar soap if it’s really bad. Any general cleaning spray will get it off with a bit of effort.
This only applies if it’s just round the windows and windowsills though - watch out for black mould on/behind the wallpaper, in the walls, in the paint, back of the wardrobe, back of the bed, back of drawers etc - that’s potentially a whole different level of grim. Try and keep your house above 10°C, even at night, that stuff really spreads when the house gets cold.
Wrestling MPire Remix (2008, DirectX 7) has terrible font rendering on Wine, making small text unreadable. Tried WineD3D, dxWrapper (with dx7 to dx9 conversion) then DXVK, DxWnd (suggested by the developer for Windows 10), dgvoodoo. Also tried enabling font antialiasing via winetricks....
I definitely used to run this on Wine (probably through Playonlinux) many years back, but I can’t remember if text ever looked fine, or if I just put up with it.
Anyway, tried it on my newer laptop just now and it shows up the same as yours. I think it’s the antialiasing (or shadow?) which is showing up solid white that is making it hard to read. I tried installing a fairly random selection of “winetricks” type things, but none made any difference.
You can slightly increase legibility by swapping the font - you can stick another font in the root folder renamed as “Comic Book Normal.ttf” and it’ll replace it - but it doesn’t solve the issue.
If you (or anyone) does solve it, it’d be good to know what the solution is.
p.s. I’ve got that menu song stuck in my head now.
Yeah, I tried looking to see if there were other Blitz3d games with Wine reports etc, but found nothing useful so far. I feel like it’s done this text thing for a few years, but the game is a little too obscure to find a solution for.
In a weird way, it’s kind of “so left wing it curled round the back and ended up on the far right”.
If you think of “left wing” as in “we support Pol Pot, Stalin, Putin etc” rather than “let’s open a community-run vegan art cafe to promote understanding between diverse social groups”.
