What's your favorite FOSS Rest API client tool?
Jump
emb @lemmy.world 2d ago

Think I used this for a little while. It was pretty much a slightly better Postman, back when Postman itself was less annoying.
Frustratingly, at some point I opened Insomnia and it randomly lost all my requests/history. That soured me on it. Then when I tried it again a couple years later, it had that bad 'freemium' feel, even if it is still FOSS.

Love the feel of playing on a real TV. 😄

Did you drink alcohol when you were younger than me?

Jump

emb @lemmy.world 5d ago

When I was very young my mom was making bread with beer and I begged her to let me try it. Finally she relented that I could have a sip. I took one smell of the can and never had really had interest in trying again.

Thought when it became legal for me, but figured I would either waste 5 bucks if I hate it or become an alchoholic if I don't. Don't trust myself enough to assume I'd always stay moderate with stuff like that.

Now that I'm older, I've seen plenty of friends get deep into it then struggle through getting sober. Feel like I made good decisions.

Cool! I'm not learning Norwegian, but I appreciate the effort.

Looks like a good place to also share with !languagelearning@sopuli.xyz!

Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs

Jump

emb @lemmy.world 1w ago

Important to note that many companies are suing, Nintendo is not uniquely taking on the government.

Given recent rulings, it seems like not suing right now might be equivalent to giving up free money. Why not ask for what you're owed?

Sad thing is all these companies near certainly passed most of the costs onto consumers, and consumers almost certainly will see none of the refunds.

Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable

Hopefully this initiative sticks, sounds like my next phone (eventually) might just be Motorola/Graphene.

This thread (and community) is kinda the starter pack: https://threadiverse.link/lemmy.ca/post/40160493

Other than that, search for your interests and sift through /all a little, you should be able to build up your subs pretty quick.

What are some good FOSS video editing softwares for computer? Preferably works on Linux

Jump

emb @lemmy.world 2w ago

Kdenlive - Worked the best for me, but has the worst name.

Shotcut - Seems feature rich and reasonably good

Openshot - Seemed more approachable, a little less performant.

Blender - I've heard it includes a good video editor in there somewhere, tho I've never used that.

Olive - I think was another Foss video editor? But it might be discontinued. Never tried it either.

Intentionally blank page

Jump

emb @lemmy.world 2w ago

Sometimes, these pages carry a notice such as "This page was intentionally left blank."

Always a little amusing to see this. Once you add the message, it ceases to be blank any more!

What are some online courses or tutorials that you found helpful and practical?

Jump

Not a course, but consider joining the community over at !languagelearning@sopuli.xyz, always nice to see more folks learning.

Nice. Yeah, it's a fun topic, thanks for starting it!

JustinGuitar is great for sure. It's a little frustrating that he doesn't put tabs in the videos - sometimes that would save a lot of time. But you can get those too if you sub I guess. The song lesson library there is also super helpful.

The question was a fun excuse to think about some old tutorials I've seen, and dig through the bookmarks. Any subject is a pretty broad ask tho. Out of curiosity, why do you ask? Are you just thinking about learning something new for the fun ot it?

What song/band did you not expect to like - but ended up loving?

Jump

emb @lemmy.world 2w ago

Funny to see this, I was just going through some old playlists today and listened to some Extol. Not one I think about often, but a fun band!

There's an old Mitch Hedberg joke that goes something like "This shirt is dry clean only, which means... it's dirty"

I think the same applies exactly for dishes that aren't dishwasher safe. I have a dishwasher but my sink still has a pile of dishes waiting.

What will be the future of captcha as Vision AIs evolves? How to balance ease of use/accessibility and hard to solve captchas?

Jump

emb @lemmy.world 2w ago

Yeah, I worry about that. Seems like everything a human can do to prove they're human, imitation machine learning will be able to look at those inputs and outputs and fake it.

If you can't have spaces filter out bots (already hard, probably impossible in the future), trust and validity completely go away. Spam will become unmanageable, and in many cases more subtle. Abuse will scale and could become unblockable.
