Open Source@lemmy.ml•I'm making a FOSS all-in-one file converter app - looking for opinions!English
6·2 months agoI have a whole blog post talking about using Godot for GUI development. The short of it is that it’s surprisingly good but has a few drawbacks, and it doesn’t have a bustling ecosystem like webdev tools. I’ve yet to try it on mobile, though.

Q: What happens with video files?
Video files get uploaded to our lightning-fast RTX 4000 Ada server. Your videos stay on there for an hour if you do not convert them. If you do convert the file, the video will stay on the server for an hour, or until it is downloaded. The file will then be deleted from our server.

8·2 months agoVERT is really close but not totally what I was looking for, it’s a web app rather than a local program and AFAIK can’t convert videos locally, you’d have to upload it to a server and download them again.

41·3 months agoMicroblogging has always sucked IMO. It’s always been more geared towards shouting your opinion and leaving, and it actively discourages any discussion by hiding reply threads and making it a nightmare to follow. Most people aren’t ready for this take, though…

your position seems to be “we won, everybody drop your weapons and party, google is good again”
No?
and you follow by bashing linux phones in your subsequent comments…
“Bashing” Linux phones by saying they’re buggy and won’t be ready soon, which is literally true. Even PostMarketOS says the same thing on their website. I guess you’d prefer I gaslight people by saying Linux phones are awesome, let’s all switch to phones that barely work, lack any phone apps, have a terrible battery life, etc.

153·3 months agoThe Linux phones that exist today (including Pine Phone) are more like early dev kits. They have really weak specs, are incredibly buggy, lack all sorts of features you’d expect, and I’m not totally sure if you can even make calls through them because phone carriers require a verified device and proprietary tech to work.
There are efforts to get things in order but these will take maybe 10 years at this rate.

502·3 months agoI’m guessing they’re going to hide it in developer tools with a bunch of warnings and no explanation on how to get there so regular users don’t turn it on by accident.

Programming@programming.dev•How to create a typing visual game for kids ?English
14·3 months agoHelp you how…? If you want to make a game, learn game development.
Why are people promoting this, all of a sudden?
They just released a new version a few days ago that’s really solid and aims to be a drop-in replacement for Windows. It’s probably the most beginner friendly distro out there and has stuff like Onedrive/MS 365 integration for people using that stuff.
The paid version is useless unless you need support.
and a bunch of “professional” apps.
It is in fact a bunch of pre-installed free software. I like Zorin, but Zorin Pro just seems like a way to trick businesses into paying for the distro. I guess having access to a support team is nice, but otherwise it’s not worth it at all.
No idea what the other commenter is on about, I used Zorin ~2 years ago. It’s a great distro for people new to Linux, and IMO has the cleanest aesthetic of any distro I’ve used. It was also super stable and reliable.
My issue with it (and ultimately the reason why I moved) is that it aims to be very stable which means its packages can get very outdated. I think the Nvidia drivers they used at the time I was on it were two years old. It’s not something most people would notice especially with how much Flatpak is used nowadays, but you’ll run into annoying cases where that thing you want to update isn’t available in that package manager.
Even looking at the website, Zorin 18 is out but it seems people on Zorin 17 will have to wait a few weeks for a way to upgrade.

It’s Arabic. The pic is a pun on “Good morning” which is written sabah el-fol. The picture says sabah el-farawla which roughly translates to “Good Strawberring”.
