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

Brilliant - I’ll have to have a look at Shotcut again. It used to be quite “crashy”, but it’s been in solid continual development for a few years now.

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.

4. Get Tuvixed because you got a bit of alien leaf stuck to your shoe.

“But Vladimir, you were never going to find any Nazis out there! The Nazis were in you all along!”

Are Mac users compatible with normal sinks and water or do they need an adapter?

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.

Ah, okay - so the “A” is pronounced like the letter “A”, with the “feelay” bit like when McDonalds used to do “filet o’fish”?

It reads more like a Donald Trump speech

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 think the fact she got lightning-bolted by a sad puddle sort of ruined the dramatic impact of her death.

Ginnel

Unfotunately, might not mean much to 99.925% of the world.

I’m not sure what the mascot would be. Perhaps a fence, dog poo, lager can or discarded mattress.

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”

Just enabled at all, or “allow proton for all games” enabled?

Maybe have a quick read through Gaming On Linux’s Steam Play/Proton Guide - it covers quite a lot of stuff that might not be obvious initially.

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 would probably be the same, had I been born 5 years earlier or later, and hit a different part of the skintight/baggy cycle.

“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.

[Edit]Also “shellsuits”, the crinkly, extremely flammable alternative to the already-vile tracksuit.

Kriss Kross will make you jump! jump!

Also worth noting OpenRA openra.net if you want a FOSS variation you can try out for free - it’s a open source engine for the C&C Red Alert games.

May also be worth looking at the FOSS Warzone 2100 wz2100.net - If you’re on Linux, it’s likely in your distro’s package manager already.

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.
