You may already have the answer from the other comments - but specifically for subtitle transcription, I’ve used whisper and set it to output directly into SRT, which I could then import directly into kdenlive or VLC or whatever, with timecodes and everything. It seemed accurate enough that the editing of the subs afterwards was almost non-existant.

I can’t remember how I installed Whisper in the first place, but I know (from pressing the up arrow in terminal 50 times) that the command I used was:

whisper FILENAME.MP3 --model medium.en --language English --output_format srt

I was surprised/terrified how accurate the output was - and this was a variety of accents from Northern England and rural Scotland. A few minutes of correcting mistakes only.

There’s openra.net which is an open source “all the Command and Conquer games” engine, which may be of interest?

Okay, that was actually pretty cool.

Thank you :)

I don’t know what that is, so I’m going to try and deliberately avoid it unless recommended otherwise.

Now I’ve got that “Grace Kelly” song by Mika stuck in my head for the next few days.

Couldn’t they just… have some (more) public toilets, or have any existing public toilets open for more hours?

Salt, pepper and all-purpose curry powder please.

At their heart, most distros are approximately “made of the same stuff”. There’s differences in package management in the background (e.g. how the “software centre” works), but essentially the difference between a “gaming distro”, “normal distro” and “creative distro” is just what programs are installed by default, and how a few things are set up by default.

Nothing stops me playing games on Mint (and historically, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio) - and likewise, nothing will stop you installing office programs, audio/video/graphics programs etc on something presented as a gaming distro.

Thanks. I tend to worry with redesigns these days.

(Based on the screenshot only) Where’s the menu gone?

This is brilliant and inspiring. I’m so thankful for people like this, using their skills for the benefit of everyone.

There’s quite a lot needed from peripheral manufacturers, regarding drivers and utilities. You still can’t, for example, just buy any new printer or scanner - you have to check compatibility first.

Rest assured that sometimes only half the text gets pasted.

I think everyone’s got the CAD/3D programs covered, so a slightly “out there” answer:

If you’re just doing 2D blueprints for yourself, do you actually just need a 2D vector program for doing a scale drawing with measurements?

I’ve done a lot of floorplans / layouts/ site maps etc using Inkscape, for instance.

It depends on exactly what you’re wanting out the other end - so you may be lacking a lot of the features in a full CAD program, but the learning curve is comparatively so shallow that you might have a working plan by the end of the day, rather than the end of the month.

Sadly, I think they go with “clear and unambiguous mark only” and “no other marks on the page”.

I hope you’re pronouncing that as “jiggles” :D

Only the first letter should match, then the rest of it is pronounced like a word, in whatever pronunciation sounds coolest.

Also, all abbreviations should be pronounced like words, that’s why we have those new Internet abbreviation words like “loll”, “lemow”, “roffle”, “roff-lemow” “wutf” etc.

So… on average late 30s/early 40s? So it’s actually a Lemmy post, rather than a Reddit post?
