Just installed endeavorOS from Ubuntu Studio (new Linux user as of about 3 months ago). Do you know if there’s a way to add the packages after install? I thought I selected the nvidia install, but it was using integrated graphics so maybe not, so I did some manual installs with nvidia-inst like --prime. It seems to be using driver 580 now instead of nouveau.

I was hoping another distro might fix an issue in Studio with DaVinci Resolve not showing video, but the same issue persists in endeavourOS (keeps saying gpu is low on memory). Running from terminal DRI_PRIME=1 to set it on performance mode doesn’t help so I’m wondering if it’s a full on Resolve issue. I’d rather not reinstall endeavourOS and lose everything I’ve done if it’s possible the OS can do some nvidia magic after install.

It blew my mind when he announced it. Brand recognition is one of the most important things companies hope for, and Twitter was in it’s own, very select brand recognition club at the top. Tweeting became part of everyday vernacular, in the same way that googling something became synonomous with searching online. It’s a company’s wet dream. No one says “gramming”, “threading”, “facebooking”, etc. Maybe Snapchat has snapping, I’m out of the loop but even I’ve used tweeting/ed in every day conversations.

That recognition is the stupidest thing to just throw away, especially to replace it with something that can’t replace it from a language perspective. Xing makes no sense in context.

Honestly I’m new to Linux from about 3 months ago, so it’s been a bit of a learning curve on top to learning VE haha. I didn’t realize CUDA had versions let alone was anything other than an acronym for using GPU (Nvidia for me) and I now figure CUDA is probably why Davinci Resolve isn’t working right. Kdenlive’s search for GPU over CPU had CUDA versions listed (mines 12.0, it was searching for 12.3,4,5 etc) which made me realize CUDA and Nvidia drivers differ.

So long story short, no I haven’t checked that beyond looking for how to update CUDA haha. I really appreciate you taking the time, I’ll look into implementing python next. One thing I love about Linux, I’m constantly learning.

Honestly it’s looking that way. I just needed to try everything else first for my own principles. Appreciate the kindness

I was hoping to avoid going full AI. Unfortunately these are the YT type videos that AI is completely taking over so unless I want to spend a week on this I think I’ll have to. Was just trying to exhaust every avenue before going that route.

I’d love to pay someone, or I’d just transcribe it myself if it wouldn’t take so long. I’m new to VE so learning as I go, I do audio and the editing process seems fairly transferable, it’s the barragement of movement and transitions in these that I’m struggling to not spend a week working on it. I’m doing this as a favour so outsourcing isn’t an option. I’ll be checking over the subtitles anyway, generating just saves a bunch of time before a full pass over it.

I’d rather not have hardcoded subs at all, but these are the “no attention span” style videos for YT (constant zooms, transitions, big subtitles, etc) that I have to mimic. Honestly I hate the style haha, but it is what it is. The style “gets traction” on social media.

I’m quickly realizing why these videos use AI, it’s a tonne of work without it for very little pay. I was just hoping to use as little of it as possible and trying to avoid going with Descript.

Anyway, appreciate you taking the time, I got some sub generation working with Kdenlive but it’s looking like I either have to bite the bullet with Descript or just transcribe it myself. The editing for the subs generation looks to be as much work as just transcribing a handful of frames at a time.

Finally got that working, had to run with the appimage instead of flatpack for it to work. Now I just gotta see if I can mimc the font haha. Thanks

Interesting. I’m struggling to get transcription add-ons to work in Blender. I’ve never installed python script stuff so I don’t know if I screwed something up. Every time I try transcription it either just stops around 95% or crashes with

Do you have a suggestion of where I can get started learning about what you’re talking about?

I smoked for 20 years, 20ish cigs a day on average. For me quitting was all mental, using logic. Every time I tried and failed was the same thing: “I feel like I’m finally ready to quit”, then back at it a few days/weeks later. I was always waiting for the day I was ready for it and kept telling myself that day was coming.

4 years ago I was finally honest with myself. I’m never going to be ready. I like it too much, that magic day is just never gonna come. That’s when I realized that if I quit, the only way I would quit is when I wasn’t ready for it, and if I quit when I’m not ready, today’s just as good a day as any other. Logically I’d never be any more ready than I was that day, and if I didn’t quit the day I realized that then I never would.

Haven’t touched a cig in 4 years. Crave it every day though haha.

Which brings up the fact that an invisible person would be blind. Pretty useless power.

I switched to PipePipe. Works well

Ironfox is ok. Though it’s not fully open source (the ui isn’t) I use Vivaldi

Don’t you worry about blank, let me worry about blank.

I think Ubuntu Touch gets decent reviews

Haha appreciate the kind words thank you. I’m Canadian so it didn’t affect any understanding, just sounded funny. Sean Connery made the sh lisp work for him but I don’t imagine he could have with a th lisp.

English speaking actors/characters with a th lisp tend to be stereotypically nerdy/child like/adorable kid types, characters that are meant to be cute or sympathetic, but not to be taken very seriously.

As far as mirroring, I’m an artist as well so I learn visually the best. Seeing my mum make the correct sound and then how I made my incorrect sound made me understand completely.

It’s not something I often think about, but I am proud to have corrected it myself. My parents were looking into speech therapists after I brought it up but I wanted to see if I could do it myself first. I still make a sharp whistle at times which I suspect stems from maybe “overcorrecting” my teeth/tongue placement early on.

My tongue protruded between upper and lower creating the “classic” lisp, not the “cool” Sean Connery sh lisp haha. Didn’t even know I had it until some new kid in school made fun of me in grade 6.

I remember I came home and asked my mum if I talked funny and she reluctantly told me I had a lisp. I asked her to hold her mouth open with her fingers to see her teeth when she made an ‘s’, then show me how I did it. Once I saw the difference I understood to keep my tongue behind my teeth and just made a conscious effort to correct it every time I spoke for months.

I have an overbite so it was challenging to land the bottom of my top teeth on the top of my bottom teeth, but after a few months it became habit. I’m a freelance voice actor now haha.

Could be, but it was a lot of conscious work too haha

I’m not a speech therapist but I did train myself out of a lisp in grade 6. Does that count?

Haha same thing for me. -R was a game changer

i came here to say this. I was really frustrated for a while figuring this out and understanding how it really makes things more secure, even if you’re the only one using the computer. At first it drove me nuts when my server would auto create a folder for media and I’d attempt to change some files within and not have permission, like, my account should have access to everything.

Changing access permissions without understanding how/why completely borked my first install by setting a user without sudo privileges as primary (or something, I still don’t know what I did haha) but I couldn’t sudo anything and was locked on that profile.

I started by just using Nautilus but this is not good practice so I learned the basics and it finally started making sense.
