It's going to depend very much on the features that your daughter used in capcut and what she will need. If it's their "AI" tools and tiktok filters, probably not. If someone knows of foss projects that have those I'd love to hear about them!

If she just needs a video editor that's free and powerful kdenlive is much simpler than getting into something like davinci resolve (which I would never recommend as a first step unless someone was very passionate about the editing process itself) and will give her the power to do pretty much anything you'd want, outside of proprietary filters or simple one-click tools.

Openshot seems fairly similar to kdenlive, maybe a little simpler. Check it out if that might work for you. I've never used it and can't compare.

Another one I have not used but is again MUCH simpler with fewer features but this may be a plus actually is Vidcutter. It looks like what I might imagine a FOSS version of Windows Movie Maker might be. Just drag clips in, cut them, mash them together, export. Simple, but not anything fancy.

So in order of least experience and desire to learn the software needed to most, I would recommend Vidcutter, then Openshot, then Kdenlive.

In order of the potential quality and variety of projects possible it's directly inverse.

Unless your daughter knows what ACES and REC 709 means then maybe point her toward Davinci.

It's not even fundamentally possible with the current LLMs. It's like saying "Yes, it's totally possible to do that! We just need to invent something that can do that first!"

This is not surprising in the least from the organization that brought us such amazing hits as "Cigarettes aren't bad for you! Doctors recommend them!" when cigarette companies discovered their products give you cancer and "Climate change isn't real! Invest in big oil!" when it became clear we couldn't keep just burning fossil fuels forever. If there's a take that is bad for people, the heritage foundation is there to promote the worst.

I'm looking to be able to store assets that I've created and purchased (both 3d models and images, potentially audio in the future) on my nas and would love to be able to use something to browse them and filter or sort them based on what kind of usage license I have for them. So if I'm doing a commission I can filter out the "personal use only" assets available. As the primary use is for visual arts assets, large preview images would be perfect. Teeny tiny icons not nearly as useful when browsing through image elements to find something you like.

I'm really looking for a self hosted option, ideally one with a docker container available but I could also spin up a virtual machine to host it if required.

Does anyone know of something that would fit the bill?

Dang, this is such a cool project and it's a shame this is happening to it. It's understandable that Valve wants to be nowhere near Nintendo's proprietary libraries though. I hope this isn't the end of the project full stop.

"Tracking Protection" just means they are protecting their exclusivity in tracking you.

Well, the article (at least in the free part.. I'm not making an account just to fact check this site) mentions two studies right off the bat and claims that they shed light on the impact of corporate trolls on Reddit.

"Two significant studies, the Pew Research Center study conducted in 2018 and the Computers in Human Behavior study published in 2020, have shed light on the prevalence and impact of corporate trolls on Reddit."

If you look up these studies, the Pew Research Center has a survey they conduct and although the article claims they interviewed 2500 americans who use reddit the actual study had only 2,002 adults. It was also a study about what sites they used. It had nothing to do with Reddit. In fact, if you switch over to the Detailed Table, Reddit wasn't even mentioned as a response. https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2018/03/01/social-media-use-2018-methodology/

I could not find a "Computers in Human Behavior study published in 2020" that matched the article's description. I did find a study published by them in 2020 about selfies and body image and especially snapchat. Once again, no reddit. But I can't say I found the article mentioned.

Then again, I can't say the articles mentioned exist at all. ChatGPT almost certainly hallucinated this.

Does the Fediverse have more of a mental health problem than other social media sites? Or is it just more visible and more likely to be hidden away?

I'm wondering if anyone here knows how to add the summoner archetype to a character AFTER you've unlocked it. I have already gone through that ordeal and can select the summoner as a new character. But I'd like to add the summoner to a new gunslinger and don't know if the grimoire might be available in the ward. I hope it is! But I suspect it is not.

Edit: As luck would have it, and it is fantastically lucky, I ended up getting a bloodmoon immediately after posting this question. In case you are wondering about how to unlock it, here's what I know

spoilerYou can look up guides on how to unlock the class and that's easy enough. You need to craft an item at an altar, and it is going to cost you blood moon essence which you can farm from wisps that spawn during a blood moon. What you don't find online is how to actually spawn the blood moon. I do not have good news here. It seems random and extremely rare. I have tried killing the doe as suggested. No bloodmoon. Travelling back and forth between the ward and yeasha, no bloodmoon. Just walking through doors. No bloodmoon. I did this for hours. SO. It seems like getting the bloodmoon is rare and just pure luck until someone can figure out the mechanics of it.

BUT if you do get a bloodmoon harvest the wisps as fast as you can, and then go through a doorway into a dungeon. Not the crystal, you don't want to reset the monsters. Just go through a yellow loading door and back and the wisps will respawn. Farm up as many as you can. You need 15 for the class and then there's an armour set if you want to go for it. I don't remember how much all that is because I've never managed to farm up enough wisps lol. For this character I just happened into a bloodmoon and there weren't many wisps spawned in. I only saw three, so I just kept moving into the dungeon and back to respawn those three wisps until the bloodmoon was over.

Anyway, I found a lot of guessing online, most of it wrong, about this so at least I can provide some experience. Good luck and good hunting!

"Privacy features like user-agent reduction, IP reduction, preventing cross-site storage, and fingerprint randomization make it more difficult to distinguish or reidentify individual clients, which is great for privacy, but makes fighting fraud more difficult. This matters to users because making the web more private without providing new APIs to developers could lead to websites adding more:"

Ohhh it's fighting fraud that they want to do! And here I thought it was entirely for the much more profitable goal of maintaining advertising revenue. Well, I'm SO GLAD to be wrong on that one. Slash S.

TLDR; there's no tracking and it requires a piece of hardware in between the psvr2 and pc. But they got past one major technical hurdle.

"Bike theft isn't just a nuisance. It's a serious problem plaguing almost every city in the world, and it stifles bike-friendliness, discourages people from riding, fuels crime and undermines our sense of community. Yet almost no cities are doing anything to seriously tackle the problem. "

This is a great video from Shifter about the benefits of bicycle registries. If you cycle in an area with a bike theft problem, chances are the police recover a lot more bikes than they can ever return because they simply have no way of knowing who to give the bike back to. One tool you can use to protect your bike is to register your bike with a service that the police are able to access. Tom's video focuses on Project 529 Garage in Canada, but there are similar services worldwide. There's a list here on wikipedia.

Good luck out there!

I'm looking at buying an induction burner but it's hard to find which brands may be reliable. Most of the youtube reviews are done by review bot channels and relying on amazon reviews in this day and age... yeah. So does anyone have any experience with these and know of a brand that I can go toward?
