I use Kdenlive once a week for a quick top/tail edit. Always amazed at how well it runs on low-end hardware. Excited to see how the new version feels under Wayland.

I worked at a wedding supply business during college and later as a photographer. I've probably been paid to attend a couple hundred weddings total. It's a great way to see a wide cross section of people in a very stressful situat

Also the founder / CEO of the company bought a private island around this time. It was featured in a magazine and, looking at the photos, it felt so bizarre and frustrating that, while so many suffered, some at the company seemed to

This happened while I was in high school. My dad worked in IT at a company that actually still exists. He even survived the layoffs, though with a series of dramatic pay cuts. It was such a shock going from a pretty sweet gig to the terro

Proud owner of a 20 year old HP all-in-one (1350v) which will. not. die. and prints nicely with the cheapest 3rd party ink from Amazon. Someday, maybe HP will return to its former glory of producing reliable equipment worth owning.

Relay for Reddit is one of the only survivors (on Android) and is fantastic. The dev bent over backwards to keep it going during all of the turmoil. It's subscription-based now, but really cheap and easy to change levels. The app als

Linux/Firefox: Works fine here. KDE Neon 5.27 Only issue is the low resolution screen on my old Thinkpad makes it difficult to see the entire game area. Super cool game! Plays great on higher res screens, just wanted to test on Linux.

There are still pockets of the old web out there. As ever, they're promoted more through personal recommendations and click-through discovery. Mastodon has it, COM in SDF has it. Heck, LambdaMOO still exists. It takes effort to find

I've had great luck with Fi. I switched to them in 2016 when it was still a bit buggy. Moved the rest of my family over a yearish later and have zero complaints. The few times we've needed support, they're helpful and easy
