    What would be a good alternative to Adobe After Effects ? Something that works in the same way.

      I only used kdenlive an open source Video editor, I do not know how similar it is to AE though.

      • cut and arange video snippets in a timeline
      • apply effects like transform/lens to video
      • I can apply simple audio effects with the pitch effect, or generate white noise. Slow down Video
      • they have AI-effects and audio editing in their roadmap

      Sounds similar to AE from what I read on its wiki entry

        That is a video editor much like Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro, so would not be a replacement for AE. After Effects is essentially Photoshop but with motion and animation. It’s mostly for VFX and Motion Graphics. Not video editing or audio.

        I use Blender for video editing, and as long as I never use another video editing package, I am sure to remain perfectly happy with Blender.

      I have to open PDFs all day long at work to read our schematics. No I don’t want an “AI assistant” or an “AI summary” on drawings of electrical wiring. And I need to close multiple menus to get rid of them, and the only option is “disable for this session”, no way to permanently turn them off

      I remember reading a story a while back about someone who owned a legit CS version with a proper serial and activation.

      They had to change computer, and in doing so had to reactivate Photoshop, but it wasn’t working. They contacted Adobe support and explained the situation but support basically told him nope, not a chance, we aren’t helping you. You need to subscribe to new Photoshop.

      So Adobe accepted that yes, he bought a perpetual licence for Photoshop and that yes, the reason it isn’t working is the online activation, but they still refused to help.

      Scumbags.

        It’s not “it” that wants you to log in, the devs created the site to be entirely public. but users demanded an option to hide their profiles from logged out users. Any hidden posts are because the user explicitly set the flag in their own settings

        The api endpoints are still public btw. Third party clients can see these profiles just fine :| not a fan of that decision tbh

          if that is the case the site should really do communicate that better. on another post I have seen a warning in the post body that the user’s setting makes it hidden. I understand that. but here? I’m just greated with a login wall exactly like on twitter or facebook, with no communication whatsoever, other than “log in or pound sand”

          I am really staring to detest most of the biggies. Amazon. Nestle, google. I’m not even American and I think the health companies need hounding.

            I’ve spent a good portion of the past 5 years detangling my life from them. The unfortunate hard one I face is amazon.

            All companies need hounding in this hypercapitalist situation we have found ourselves into.

              Amazon has been the easiest to get rid of for me. I just stopped buying shit. I’d rather do without than continue supporting this. My Alexa’s got dumped. I just need to replace my firestick and I am done.

      The leadership (is supposed to) represent the people, the people do not represent the leadership. Israelis do not represent the Israeli government. Employees of a Meta subsidiary do not represent Meta, Facebook, or Zuckerberg. Don’t attack McDonald’s employees because the burger is more expensive, YouTube employees because the content preys on children or residents/soldiers of a country because the government decides to mobilise its army against another community. Employees are just victims of capitalism, just working there because they must, irrespective of politics.

        Well yeah I said leave the people working there alone and target the corp or org. And my reasons are what you just outlined in great detail. They are victims of capitalism.

      Every company I’ve ever worked for deserves to be bullied.

      Honestly that’s letting those bastards running those companies get off light

        So, cyberbullying and toxic gamer communities are very much a thing and definitely a problem, but I have to admit, that story really did make day… I laughed for a while, I shared it with my neighbors, it’s still fucking funny!

        You know, the thing is… the whole mess was entirely Elon’s fault. If he just wanted an escape from his stressful life, he could totally just play the game and it would work out fine for him. But because he felt the narcissistic need to live stream it (because he apparently desperately needs others to tell him how awesome he is), he got his stupid face kicked into the mud. And that’s really on him…

          There’s definitely a power dynamic aspect to bullying. Bullying down? Or bullying another shmoe? Not great. Bullying a rich powerful asshole? Different story.

        Oh Nazis deserve to just be punched (nonstop).

        You heard the time Elon was told to go back to Africa. That was hilarious.
