    Insane performance of the M series is due to bolting RAM straight to the chip, so it runs with a very low clock divisor. These things run at such speeds that even millimeters distance from CPU to RAM limit clock speed, which is why PCs have traditionally reduced bus speed while pumping CPU speed.

    Apple made their point. Integrate RAM and CPU/GPU for performance and you can compete with much lower performing CPU cores in design. And let's be clear, ARM only wins here because of that improved I/O bandwidth.

    Intel and AMD should bolt 8GB RAM on their chips and use it for cache. Then PCs will pound M series chips into the ground and PC will regain its value proposition over Apple again.

    In the small videographer space....

    Some people shoot weddings. Some people shoot concerts. Some people shoot corporate. Some people shoot porn. And some people shoot little web ads.

    For each, find your paying client and make what they want. And deposit the check.

    You have no idea what my political views are. That's presumptuous on your part.

    You look for reasons to promote hate on the fediverse, which exists to oppose just that.

    I don't presume to know why others choose to use anything. But MacOS is highly consistent across apps. Dialog boxes, text input forms, file browsing, hot keys, all the same across applications.

  • What is the worst film you have ever seen and why?
  • ParanoidFactoid ParanoidFactoid Now 100%

    Though I found myself fascinated, unable to stop watching like gawking at a bloody car accident, The Human Centipede just left me sick to my stomach. Not that it was bad in production values, like a Manos Hands of Fate fiasco, it just remains unwatchable a second time as Horror. And you can't say that about The Evil Dead II or or even a splatter fest like Ichi the Killer. Both of which I love.

    I do this for a living. Most people shooting family vids or youtube vlogs/video essays would find Kdenlive perfectly well suited to their needs. It does simple transforms, titling, adjustments, etc. And it looks like a normal NLE. When you hit a wall with it, the move to a commercial program will be easy.

    I'm not a fan of either Gnome or KDE.

    To me, the big mistake both make is in the presumption the UI and utilities shipped with those platforms are why people use it. But no. Nobody uses MacOS because of its nifty calculator or the Finder. It's the overall toolkit integration with apps. Not even look and feel. But consistency in use.

    Neither KDE nor Gnome offer that.

    Congress is broken right now.

    The House just removed a speaker with seniority and elected a two term religious zealot in his place. One who refuses to support the main foreign policy of leaders in both parties.The Senate has a member who has kept all military nominations on hold because the opposing party nominated them. And that party in both legislative chambers refuses to fund government.

    Biden has no choice here.

    I mean, I dunno about you but for me this is money. I make money with these tools. I prefer Linux for privacy reasons, but I'm not religious about it when it comes to money. We all gotta eat.

    The Blackmagic folks might help. Especially if you paid for Studio. I don't work there and can't make promises, but I'd definitely make a stink about that. At least get a formal statement from them on Sony support in Linux.

    My in-house is an old GH5s w/ a Shogun. But if the client pays, I prefer to rent an URSA mini. So I haven't hit this.

    Really wish I could help more.

  • Nautilus, the Gnome file assistant manager, sucks utter donkeyballs. Let us make an unordered list of the ways: - If the underlying filesystem changes, say a copy operation, the file manager view does not update without a manual refresh by CTL+R. This leaves the view in a stale state, presenting false file information to the user, who might never know until they do something bad. This is a showstopper bug that's been hanging around since forever. - Batch rename. Good luck trying to rename a series of files ordered sequentially by number, if the number happens to start with any number other than one. A sequence from 2 to x is impossible to batch rename. Because regex in sed never worked either. No, wait. It's always worked! For like, 50 years. - Why, when moving a collection of files or a directory within the same filesystem, does it actually perform a copy and delete operation, taking cpu and time, when the inode location could just be updated like mv does? - Thumbnails? Why do they take longer to generate for images and video than than the totality of the existence of the universe? Nautilus is an unusable mess. If command line file utils were this bad, we'd never be able to reliably store and manipulate files. Who in their right mind actually uses this junk?

    Missouri schools are reinstituting corporal punishment against kids with a paddle. This violates the rights of the kid and it sets another precedent against bodily autonomy. The state is claiming the right to hit your kids.

    Looks like Federalist Society conservatives are desperate to find anything untoward they can pin on liberal SCOTUS justices after revelations of a bribery scandal with Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch. Staffers asking college libraries to buy Sotomayer's books is some weak sauce in comparison.

    Georgia State Representative Mesha Mainor of Atlanta switched parties from Democratic to Republican after being criticized for voting with the GOP on several occasions. She'll be joining a majority GOP House, but resides in a heavily Democratic district, making her reelection prospects poor.

    Based on funding sources alone, it's clear RFKjr is a cutout puppet for MAGA interests to split the Dem vote. Regardless, his anti-vaxx and pro-virus message is irrational, illogical, and downright dangerous. Rolling Stone has a disturbing feature on RFKjr and his many anti-science views.

    Here's a story about the extreme hardship one woman went through to secure an out of state abortion in the US. Long flights, delays, and high cost, never mind the stigma and need to keep it quiet. And this woman was among the lucky who can afford the trip and procedure, and take the time from work. It's heartbreaking to read stories like these.
