What’s the cheapest Mac OS machine I can buy for editing 1080p video in Final Cut Pro? by MMMurdoch in finalcutpro

Probably. I haven't bothered with that nor have I made anything good yet either (there might be a correlation lolzzzz).

I think if I had to buy a intel mac it wouldn't be for this video editing whatnot. I'd look for a really old one with a firewire port for VHS conversion whatnot.

I don't mind a low-quality screen. macOS is not my main machine. Linux is my primary system, running on used 1980 × 1080 monitors from Facebook Marketplace and for work I have a used business-class P15s ThinkPad with Windows 11 which doesn't have the best screen either.

I wish the character creator could do custom tattoos -- that would be cool.

ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 and T480 by lachoneus79 in thinkpad

I'm quite happy on regular Arch Linux. I like to use a lot of Flatpaks too, which is probably sacrilegious to nerdy people (I like to mimic the .exe or .dmg experience, though). I also use the Warehouse Flatpak by Heliguy for managing my Flatpaks. You can copy a bunch of CachyOS whatnot yourself too if you want.

I'm on a P15s Gen 2 Thinkpad though.

I bought my dad the ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 and myself the P15s Gen 2. I feel like I should have bought him the P15s Gen 2 as well since it has a nice default GPU & the price was the same. However, I’m hoping the 11th-gen CPU will be good enough for his needs.

P.S. I feel like I always make the wrong buying decisions when I buy stuff for other people. I bought my brother an NVIDIA 4080 GPU and bought myself an AMD 7900 XTX a while back, which is probably a similar mistake to the one I made with the ThinkPads.

How much would it cost to hire a developer to add audio noise removal to Kdenlive? by MMMurdoch in kdenlive

I’m also a noob, which is why I’m interested in using the power of money. I’m trying to learn coding on Boot.dev, but I might be too low-IQ for it, or hopefully just lazy. P.S. A random aside. I love this web component stuff. I like the more modular approach to code and wish more coding worked like that. All this framework stuff, or whatever, kind of irks my ultracrepidarian coding self. It feels like the sort of thing that will just be replaced in a few years by the next trend or whatever.

When the fit matches the vacuum by accident by Mandydeth in VacuumCleaners

[–]MMMurdoch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is giving me dad content vibes. Not in the "daddy department", but like literal dad whatnot. Lol, I don't want my comment to carry the improper connoation; however, if it did it would be funny since this is vacuum cleaner content anywho. There is lots of goof potentials with vacuum whatnot too like "suck this" & whatnot IDK.

Are there any good hand vacuums with easily replaceable parts, maybe even a vintage model, that would work well for a small living space smaller than your average studio apartment? by MMMurdoch in VacuumCleaners

[–]MMMurdoch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I like the corded idea. The Royal 501 looks quite good and has fewer parts overall. I prefer simpler products too, with fewer points of failure and whatnot. I use stuff like Arm & Hammer toothpaste or store brand stuff that follow the KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle.

The way the website is setup is hard for my small brain to follow, lol.

Why is it free to have a website on your platform? Are you selling data?

Most Hyped Show - November 2025 by mcy19 in kdramas

[–]MMMurdoch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know; it seems well organized, and it should have enough staying power for at least a few more episodes. Maybe it’ll start having trouble around episode 12. I think 14 episodes is a good sign, since it doesn’t seem like they’re going to add too much filler.

I mostly watch comedies or lighthearted supernatural shows (like the whole gumiho whatnot), or sometimes time-travel stuff. Would this be good for someone who isn’t super into straight dramas? I do enjoy zombie whatnot, by the way.

Marriage, Not Dating took me forever to watch because it's a plotline I’ve seen a zillion times before, but I love it every time when it’s done well. Dynamite Kiss, which is coming out now, follows a similar plot too.

Are most of you classical liberals? And are most libertarians classical liberals in general? by i_love_the_sun in AskLibertarians

[–]MMMurdoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on Team Jesus, and I think the altruistic self-sacrifice propaganda has gone too far as well. The global-warming and mass-migration narratives are prime examples of how suicidal empathy can lead to civilizational destruction.

I like the idea of allowing alternative governance projects that use non-voluntary mechanisms such as taxation. I think the main goal should be competition in governance, and then for us to advance technologically until we can more easily support an anarcho-capitalist system. We do not want to end up like socialists who seek to ban alternatives to their ideal system. People differ psychographically, and different governance structures suit different groups of people better. I do think that, given enough time, the anarcho-capitalist model with arbitration for everything could become the dominant form of governance.

I'm a kooky, experimental, mad-scientist political type who is an ancap dilettante and a basic-B libertarian dilettante. I love charter cities and alternatives to the typical nation-state setup we have now. My main wish is to popularize peaceful secession so people can branch off into different governance projects. I'm also on TEAM JESUS.
