I suppose it's only films, but I wanted to ask, just to make sure. Some TV series are works of art, with amazing frames. The series Severance, for example, has extremely beautiful shooting and frames.

Moderators: feel free to delete this post – sorry for the outlier! But maybe a "films only" can be added in the sidebar?

An endearing and even moving short clip of Buster singing "June Night" and "Casey Jones".

I think that explains it! It had 26 characters.

IrfanView is a great piece of software for Windows. One of those "jack of all trades, master of none". It works as a simple image & video viewer and browser, can do simple and not-so-simple image manipulation, and even batch jobs, like conversion, on selections of images in folders.

For Linux (and other platforms) there's XnView MP that offers extremely similar functionalities.

Fantastic, thank you for the steps and explanation!

This reaches the borders of my understanding of the fediverse :) You mean I could create it on Lemmy.ml for example? Would I need to create an account there? I'll explore, thank you for the suggestion.

In the past two days I've been trying to create a community, but without success. I insert the name (with the allowed characters), the display name, and so on. But when I click on create a spinning wheel appears for a second or two, then goes back to create and nothing has happened. I created two communities previously (10 days ago or so) without problems.

I imagine it's just an effect of the current load for Lemmy.world, but wanted to ask just in case.

Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the 1st season, just like other commenters here. A preliminary reason could be that the story is very different from the book, which is one of my most favourite sci-fi books ever. But even simply seeing this series as something different from the book, if found it too cheap: the characters are half-stereotypes, the events are what you'd expect, usual blood and sex to attract viewers...

Should go without saying, just my personal opinion and tastes. I'm happy that others enjoyed the series and I hope it'll made them curious to read the books.

Reborn as a Vending Machine... (static.next-episode.net)

This starts tomorrow. The premise is really one of a kind. I'm very curious to see how they pull this off!

I was wondering whether this community focuses on discussing and recommending manga, or mostly on "manga announce" instead, from the majority of the posts I'm seeing. The sidebar doesn't give much information.

NB: just in case I'm being misread, this is not a criticism! Just trying to understand whether I'm interested in subscribing or not.

It sure isn't finished. Cats are purrfectionists.

...Or actually I don't know. Maybe the cat has lost interest in that masterpiece and has started on another one somewhere else... Spread the damage.

Thank you for the heads-up. I only read two chapters from the book and was put off somehow. I imagine it gets better?

NB: According to some of the suggestions below, this post has been made into a community:

https://lemmy.ca/c/software_alternatives_linux

Hope to see many of view posting software alternatives there!

Many members of this community are computer users who recently moved to Linux from other OSs, Windows in particular. Having established their work and hobbies on a particular software base, they often encounter difficulties trying to find similar software on Linux.

I'd like this to be a sort of board where members comment about some software alternative they're looking for, and other members sub-comment with possible solutions.

What's a solution? It's important to be broad-minded about this when switching to Linux:

  • Exactly the same software could be available for Linux.

  • Different software but with similar critical features could be available for Linux.

  • It could be possible to use emulators (such as Wine) of the old OS.

  • Finally, one can change one's perspective or workflow, in such a way that the old software is not needed any longer, but is replaced with other software of a different kind (this may actually lead to much improved workflows).

(Moderators: feel free to take over this post. Also please let me know if a similar board exists already here, so I delete this.)

Person of Interest (lemmy.world)

You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people. The government considers these people "irrelevant". We don't. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us. But victim or perpetrator, if your number's up... we'll find you.

Who remembers and misses this outstanding show? Will we ever enjoy the like again? It's still so actual in these AI days.

I'll sure read the books too after this finale. I hope they're good!

[-] pglpm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

PS: nice software your Paperwork. I hope in the future you'll add support for djvu format – most of my documents are in that format (it saves a lot of memory for scanned documents, compared to pdf).

Time to switch to PeerTube or similar federate platform soon then...
