The official PC build for @ChloeGMoretz. Thank you once again @NVIDIAGeForce for sending out the RTX 4090FE. Intel 13900k Deepcool LS720 Asus Prime Z790 Corsair 6200mhz CL36 Mushkin 2TB Nvme Gen4 Nvidia RTX 4090FE MSI 1000Gen5 This is a monster!!!Twitter
Chloë essentially plays three different characters in #ThePeripheral: Flynne in 2032, the Flynne peripheral in the 2100s, and the empty peripheral when Flynne doesn't embody it. The last two look exactly the same of course (same clothes, same hair and makeup), but how Chloë is making these two completely different characters is impressive.
This whole concept of an empty peripheral is a fascinating one...

I usually cut and remux video files with a paid Windows program, which is really intuitive to use. I don't mind paying for it, but my Windows PC is very old so now I'm trying to do the same in #kdenlive on my linux laptop. Still at the start of what looks like a steep learning curve.
One thing I just realised: the "project bin" is not like a recycle bin, but something to be used rather than avoided. I was ignoring all menu items that said something with 'bin' when looking for how to cut clips...
Still somewhat annoyed kdenlive can't open video files on network disks, while Windows had no problem with it.
(Oh, when looking up that Windows program, #VideoReDo, I found that the company has ceased due to the founder passing away last month. My attempts to switch are coincidental and not related!)
Ok, I think I sort of managed to do what I wanted, but it is incredibly slow and the output file is also transformed rather than just having its frames copied. The #kdenlive documentation provides an answer to the problem: it says not to use kdenlive for this, but #avidemux.
I think that sort of worked, but that program looks so old it doesn't fill me with much faith. E.g. it seems to not be able to handle wide-screen videos (16:9) in its preview area. And it also can't open files from network drives.

Interesting insight into how a character comes to be, among other things. Christina Ricci has a chat with Jenna Ortega about Wednesday.
#JennaOrtega #ChristinaRicci #Wednesday
(My take: I'd always trust @jennaortega to get the character right. It's her artistry we want to see)

People don't become a billionaire by being nice.

TikTok, and scamming middlemen, take so much money from donated money, that almost nothing arrives where the gifter expects it to arrive. The BBC did a test: if 106 dollars were gifted to an account in Syria, similar to many refugee families there asking for money, only $19 would arrive in the hands of the family. TikTok's response: we get on it immediately and delete this illegal content asking for money (paraphrased) (they were fine with earning money from it).

Bought a book about autism in adults, which seems written with a scientific perspective. Hopefully it will counteract the enormous amount of stuff that's out there focusing on autistic children.
It's my theory that it takes especially communicative people to draw attention to something, and autistic people don't tend to be that, but their parents might be. So when these children grow up and leave the house, they are forgotten about, as if somehow adulthood cures autism or as an adult you learn to live with it. But it doesn't and you don't. You just live your life in obscurity.
I'd love to find a proper book explaining exactly how autistic people should live their life. Sounds weird, but since we don't know naturally and we like clear rules and explanations anyway, a book like that sounds obvious?
Four important dates:
- 21 October: The Peripheral on Amazon Prime with Chloë Grace Moretz
- 23 November: Wednesday on Netflix with Jenna Ortega
- 5 December: His Dark Materials season three on HBO Max with Dafne Keen
- 10 February (& 10 March): You season four on Netflix with Amy-leigh Hickman

and now it's running fine again. For the last couple of weeks I had not been able to see my timeline. These statements should normally not be necessary for postgresql, but the exceptional case they describe that would need it seems to me exactly what Pleroma does: delete most objects but leave a few so index pages don't get completely empty and hang around.Sean Tilley likes this.
