hey that’s a new one

Woah you can crop a blur? That’s pretty neat

Also, on Kdenlive, you can disable most of the windows that you don’t require which is pretty neat.

For me, I found Kdenlive decently intuitive (at least in comparison to “professional” options like davinci resolve. I haven’t ever video edited much and I was able to pick up easily without watching any video tutorials). You add video and audio clips, drag them into the timeline, and use the split tool for cutting. Then you can drag the edge of clips to adjust the length, and you drag an effect from the effects menu. One effect I like to use is the “Freeze” one, so I can freeze a frame of a video for a bit. Pretty neat.

It looks like I need to use the “fill area” option, possibly with centering too.

nvm, read that option wrong. Only scale down it is then w/ keep aspect ratio

Never mind, I was right, I just found that the mogrify command requires the file name to be last

Will use a loop to go through the subdirectories then

The link you mentioned looks quite helpful, thanks! Imagemagick is pretty cool

I don’t have a registered domain for my laptop server (and hence cannot use HTTPS) as I find that I don’t really need it for my use case. Using Tailscale is fine for me if I really need to access it remotely, but I mostly use it for backing up files and images on my local network, and calendars can sync once I get home.

No problem!

I also didn’t like that on iPhone a majority of the useful settings are buried in dark corners that are difficult to find. Not very helpful at all

Yeah, on Android you use DAV5x or something for syncing, and then another app for calendar (I use Etar). I think DAV5x also acts as an intermediate for smartwatches for calendar notifications, but haven’t verified this, it’s just a hunch of mine. I think it’s probably for ease of development, so the same CalDAV thing doesn’t have to be redone over and over again.

As a previous iPhone user, I liked that it was in settings (I did not like, however, that I wasn’t able to set up Radicale on my iPhone at all since I didn’t have HTTPS with my laptop server. I guess something something security no options for you. If it worked for you that’s great! Working things are good)

How is this different from AppImageManager (which just moves it to an “Applications” directory)? Is this just to make Mac users feel more at home? I mean, I don’t think anyone will be complaining (as long as it’s not forced upon us, the more weird projects the better. If you are complaining than just don’t use it, you’re not the target audience??)

edit: Just read the article, yeah, it is supposed to look like macOS with the dragging to the Applications directory. Pretty neat I guess if somebody is used to macOS!

Additional tools that are the kind of thing you use occasionally but come in clutch:

Image Toolbox: Has all the cropping, EXIF data editing, collaging, file format conversion, etx. you want (something like over 100 tools, hence “toolbox”)

EtchDroid: Handy if you don’t have your laptop with you and need to flash an ISO to a USB drive

App Manager: Nice to check the package names of each app when using ADB to uninstall bloat

Termux: Terminal basically, I use it for occasionally sshing into my laptop server when I’m out (using Tailscale to access my local network)

Fossify Voice Recorder: Neat if I want to record some audio clips

Saber: I think this is more meant for Android tablets, since it’s for handwritten notes and diagrams. Occasionally useful if I need to draw a quick sketch for something

I recently switched, here’s my mega list of awesome apps I found:

app store: F-Droid (for most apps. Droid-ify is a nice client if you want that) / Obtainium (for the apps that aren’t on F-Droid) / Aurora Store (Google Play Store without needing a Google account)

Browsers: Fennec (Firefox from F-Droid basically. Some people like IronFox for privacy reasons but I never used it), or if you want something based on Chromium, Cromite (I don’t use it as I like Firefox-based options and my custom launcher always asks whether I want to use private browsing or not with Cromite and not with Fennec and there is no option to disable this what)

SMS messaging app + contacts: Connect You (lots of people also like Quik SMS)

Dialer: Fossify Phone

Calendar: Etar (Fossify is fine but less functional in my opinion)

To Do List: Tasks(dot)org (syncing with Vikunja, which has support for CalDAV)

Local music player: Auxio / Lotus / CuteMusic (they have different UIs depending on your preference. Currently using CuteMusic but it doesn’t remember your shuffle/loop preferences which is kind of stupid I think, so I might switch to back to Lotus)

PDF reader: MJ PDF (very simple with no fluff)

file explorer: Material Files (the best you can get)

airdrop for everyone and a bit more: LocalSend (it’s cross platform, and there’s even a web version!)

photo gallery: Aves Libre (nice UI and super functional too)

clocks, timers, and alarms: Chrono (note the lack on an s, it’s got Material You theming and everything, very nice indeed)

2FA: Aegis (found out recently that you can enable show the next code! Very cool. Make sure to download the aegis icon pack as it’s not installed by default)

password manager: KeePassDX (I use KeePass on my computer, it only makes sense to use it here. If you use something like Bitwarden that also works)

weather app: Breezy Weather (it’s so fun, you have a bunch of information as well as a pretty cool background that changes depending on the weather)

custom launcher: Kvaesitso (search-based, it’s really good. If you want something more traditional lots of people like Lawnchair)

podcasts: AntennaPod (material you, it simply works!)

maps app: CoMaps (fork of Organic Maps because they weren’t listening to the community or something like that, and it’s already got a couple extra features over it. I also personally think the app icon looks nicer with the compass arrow. If you want something more feature rich OsmAnd has been suggested)

Fediverse apps: Summit (Lemmy, what I’m using right now to type this!), Moshidon (Mastodon), and PeerTube (the official client works fine for me)

YouTube client: LibreTube (Material You, looks really nice)

calculator: yetCalc / CalcYou (Both have scientific calculator functions as well as unit conversion. CalcYou is fun since you can create graphs like Desmos!)

email client: Thunderbird (or K-9 mail if you like red and dogs more than blue and birds)

translator: Offline Translator (works really well, has OCR, fully offline!)

document scanner: OSS Document Scanner (works well and looks nice)

keyboard: HeliBoard (super customisable. I have a larger phone so I have the bottom padding increased. I was also able to switch the position of the special characters to be more similar to the iOS keyboard I’m familiar with! Make sure to enable the dynamic colours since it makes Heliboard look super nice)

voice input for keyboard: FUTO Voice Input / Whisper (the FUTO one will install faster and is better if you only speak English, but Whisper will be better for multi lingual)

DAV5x is used for CalDAV and CardDAV sync.

RSS feeds: CapyReader / Feeder (I use the former since capybaras are cute)

Signal client: Molly (Molly-FOSS is a version that doesn’t use Google’s notification systemm I like Molly, it works well and it’s got some additional features over the standard Signal client. It can be installed through F-Droid, while standard Signal requires using the Google Play Store / Aurora Store, which is another benefit for me since I like F-Droid)

self-hosted stuff: Nextcloud, Immich (file and image backup respectively. I have already mentioned Vikunja with Tasks(dot)org)

I feel like the pins would get worse if I had to come up with 15

Fair enough actually. But if you were doing a Computer Science paper and given proper money (e.g. $2.80) you would need to answer real, and given Monopoly money (increments of $50 I believe) you would answer integer. It turns out the real world (no pun intended) is more complicated…

Indeed they are

Unfortunately not. I am just pretty bad at making puns

2. Fair enough

3. Fair enough, but I’m talking about the data type “real” (which could technically be used to store whole numbers, but since Monopoly money doesn’t have cents, we’re assuming it’s stored as integer data type rather than real data type)

4. You have a good point.

5. In many languages, array index -1 puts you on the end of array (the last item), -2 is second last, etc

f. Is it? If it is then I’m just uninformed.

1 was the one in the title, and it’s “f” since it’s not data type related it’s an extra one (6th letter in the alphabet)

Continuation of 2:

The other programmer responds, I can tell that your statement was false
