It has swipe up/down + double tap gestures. You can also customise the home and back buttons.

Heliboard goes into 1.0 in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

It has swipe typing plus a lot of other new features/theme customisation that openboard didn't have.

are shotcut and kdenlive any good video editors? just curious in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] 8orange8@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Personally I think Kdenlive has the most user-friendly interface of any video- editor (pay software included) so I think it's ideal for a newcomer. It's also fairly light on system resource comparatively.

A few years ago, it used to have a reputation for being a bit buggy but seems to be very stable in my experience these days.

The main problem would be the lack of guides/tutorials, though there are a few on YouTube.

Cant login on jerboa since lemm.ee update earlier today? in c/jerboa@lemmy.ml

Yeah, I had the same problem and the same thing fixed it. Fully log out, then log in. Seems like version 19 Changed authentication or something similar requiring a fresh sign-in.

hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

If you like Tree Style Tabs I'd also recommend trying Sideberry. Does the same thing but has some additional functionality.

Can we trust mediaeval copies of ancient books? in c/history@lemmy.world

Have you read the article? The author is a scholar who studies the exact "branch of historical science" you are talking about.

The article shows how this kind of study is carried out.

Perhaps I should have made that clearer when posting it.

Humans trod the landscape of North America thousands of years earlier than previously thought, according to new research that confirms the antiquity of fossilized footprints at White Sands National Park in New Mexico using two further dating approaches.

A BBC Science Show Introduces the Moog Synthesizer in 1969 (www.openculture.com)
 

Here's the main video if you don't want to read the article.

There's actually a surprisingly good basic description of subtractive synthesis(considering how new it was) as well.

What open source programs do you recommend for Windows? (Windows exclusive or not) in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

PhotoDemon is close to what you're asking for. It has the basic functionality the average user needs yet is still lightweight and fast to start.

LocalSend cross-platform application for transferring files on local network in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] 8orange8@lemm.ee 26 points 10 months ago (3 children)

They have different usage scenarios.

LocalSend is for the occasional sending of files/folders from A to B or B to A (One direction only).

Syncthing's primary usage is for keeping the exact same copies of files on A and B automatically.

BBC starts experimenting with the Fediverse, running its own Mastodon instance in c/technology@lemmy.world

Yeah definitely. I remember the fake "Detector Vans" designed to frighten people but I suspect going forward with more and more younger people only using Netflix/Amazon Prime etc their attitude will have to change.

Technically the BBC are not "state-funded" but funded by UK viewers paying for a voluntary licence to watch.

I would certainly agree though that the UK government's influence in appointing staff in the upper echelons of the organisation (and also general government interference in its day to day running) leaves it open to criticism.

lemmy.fmhy.ml is gone [update from the team] in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

tbf Estonia is a stable EU country and Sunaurus (the admin of lemm.ee) is from Estonia so it's not that strange
