Shotcut integrated Whisper AI and now you can easily do Speech to Text for free. You can use it to do translation too. I tested it and like what I see. jameswoo.net/shotcut-ai-spe…

A BETA for upcoming 26.4 release is available. It has a fix for a recent waveform regression plus many small refinements. github.com/mltframework/s…

This week's longform idea, we're sharing more evidence short form video is rotting your brain hottakes.space/p/more-evidenc…

Helped rescue my neighbour's kid RC plane which crashed landed on my porch roof. It was missing a propeller when I got it down using a ladder. From the bedroom window, managed to see & the retrieve that tiny propeller that fell off. Kiddo was happily flying a short while later.

Updates on Shotcut v25.10 and 25.12 Built in an free TTS text to speech, image or video from html (this one is nice), typewriter text. Video overview here -->> youtu.be/Rnhy-AmQQ5k

@dvassallo Somewhat similar on my YT channel. maybe same for all social media

I have 200K followers here but for some reason my posts mostly get shown to non-followers 😅

@dvassallo Not an American but saw it coming with what T did in his first term & what he said during his campaign.

Trump’s America. Nobody except a few lunatics want this.

@dvassallo A YouTube video test showed thick towels work better then foam but you'd need a frame to hide them

And these foam mats don’t even do any soundproofing. They only reduce echos. You need *mass* for soundproofing. Most soundproofing material like cement board, mass loaded vinyl, or mineral wool is either non-flammable or self-extinguishing.

I used it within Higgsfield ai. You can see more samples & how I created them youtu.be/qy7KOpdV3UY

Kling 2.6 is unbelievable in a good way. This is from a single image. It even added voice & suitable background sound.

AI generated videos are getting good enough that you have companies providing analytics to find out which ones are topping the charts. youtu.be/dQUSW7vvA8k

@jameschin110 Agreed

This type of cruelty is found in banana republics. In reality, Anwar can force SB to give him an answer but has decided not to do anything. Meanwhile, Madani talks about Islamic justice. The religious minister is more about wearing hijab in AA and music videos. Who is worse- Madani or Moon? #PoliticalIslam #Malaysia ============================ “Nine years have already passed, it is as if my children and I have just woken up,” Amri’s wife Norhayati Mohd Ariffin. “Where is Amri, who caused him to disappear? And until when those who are responsible will still be free without justice? Who caused Amri Che Mat and Raymond Koh to be disappeared? Why were they abducted like that, are they still alive, where are they?” she asked. “Who in the police and government helped or closed their eyes and allowed this crime to happen? When will they be prosecuted? “In death there is a body, a funeral, you can say goodbye to them. But for us there is none, and it’s really difficult for the family. We cannot grieve, we don’t know whether he is dead or alive” . Pastor Koh's wife said she had suffered due to the police’s “strong and frequent interrogations” after her husband’s abduction. “Instead of treating me as a victim, I felt like I was a criminal,” she said

Wow. Massive Cloudflare outage. Twitter was down, but is now up. My sites hosted there are still down

@NickNimmin thx for sharing. I'm guessing he doesn't over edit his video either.

I love seeing creators use screenshots and still crush. He's still following best practices for helping people identify his content is about something they might care about. However, someone might look at his thumbs and say "I spend hours on my thumbnails, why don't my videos get clicked more". It's not about the design.

@DarioCpx @grok what does all these mean?

Going to sleep now, this data is going to be the first thing I check when I wake up - hopefully volumes won’t go bananas in the afternoon window (because if they do, people should start considering to warm up and be ready for the run to the hills to begin)

@dvassallo I tried Philips & other brands. All of them dimmed after a few years especially the daylight whites. Maybe the warm whites are less noticeable

The only reliable LEDs I found are all made by Philips.

New version 25.10 adds Typewriter text effect, using HTML to generate image or video with transparent background, Properties > Open With, Screen Snapshot & Screen Recording, and @FFmpeg 8 shotcut.org/blog/new-relea…

@Jicecream @gregisenberg wow, that's interesting

@gregisenberg Dude the analogue retreat I announced after we talked last essentially insta-sold out and I didn’t even get around to building a funnel for it. You couldn’t be more right.

the internet used to be an escape from reality. now, reality is an escape from the internet. there are 2 ways to make tons of money right now: build niche tools that fuel the scroll or build things that stop it.

@dvassallo I'm likely a small minority, don't like that many features to begin with. Don't need all the extra bells & whistles.

Consumers are demanding so many features in modern cars that it would be almost impossible to have a physical button for everything. Car maker Ineos tried this with their 2024 Grenadier and ended up like a 747 cockpit. Good luck finding the button you want while driving.

@gregisenberg Yet AI still gave me wrong answers for a router I was thinking of getting. Going to be a mixed bag I reckon

MY TAKEAWAY FROM TODAY'S OPENAI AI BROWSER LAUNCH: the internet just got hands. the average person won’t google, click, compare, or fill out forms within the next 24 months. they’ll just say “book my trip”, “find me a job”, “launch my store” and the agent will do the 20 steps behind the scenes. that means whole industries... travel, e-commerce, real estate, insurance, education are about to get rebuilt around outcomes instead of pages. you won’t “go” to Expedia, you’ll just get the trip. if you’re a founder, this is the moment to think in verbs. don’t build platforms people visit. build agents that finish what people start. that’s where the next $100B companies come from. the web is shifting from human browsing to agent doing. internet hands.

@shl A place of the internet that you can share information, ideas, sell and/or trade stuff
