Last time I tried Wayland (with Cinnamon), it didn’t support any keyboard layouts other than American. That’s a bit of a deal breaker if you’re not American.
I would have done that deliberately because it’s hilarious :)

Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approvedEnglish
9·1 month agoNo. He needs to take more. The amount he’s currently taking is a measly “woke-trans-vegan-lib-radical-left amount for girls”.
If he was a real man and a genius, he’d double the amount of ketamine and cocaine he takes every day.
So twice as much today, 4x as much tomorrow, 8x as much the day after…

Linux@lemmy.ml•FOSS video editing with as little AI as possible, but matching the look of AI produced viral video?
2·1 month agoYou 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.

The Onion@midwest.social•We ask you: Should Andrew be forced to have a shittier surname?English
1·1 month agoGenerally speaking, yes.
Might (in some regions) just mean “fool/idiot”, but the majority of people would take it as a synonym for “paedo”.
Also getting weirdly excited by forks:
My missus in a charity shop (US: Thrift store?) or antique shop

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is it so hard to get Nvidia GPUs working with Linux?
3·2 months agoAt 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.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•I have joined the ranked of the steam powered.
8·2 months agoThere’s a sort of order from least to most destructive:
Exactly correct driver >
using an elastic band or other thin piece of rubber, between driver and screw, for grip >
different screwdriver that fits differently (e.g. a small flat driver in any cross-headed screw) >
again, with elastic/rubber >
other, unlikely drivers >
other grippy options, like steel wool >
superglue the driver to the screw >
epoxy resin a driver to the screw >
cut a new flat-head into the screw head with a dremel >
use a screw extracting bit >
drill out the screw head >
cut or drill out the plastic surroundI’m sure there’s other options I’ve not remembered. A lot of it depends on which screw is stuck, and how accessible it is.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a "healthy" amount of dandruff?
5·2 months agoAll solid advice. May also have an ingredient sensitivity to something like “sodium laureth sulphate”, which can cause dry skin and flaking, or massively inflame existing psoriasis or dry skin.

4·3 months agoWhen I buy anything electrical in the UK, they often give you a UK plug, a European Plug and an American plug. Over time, or if you use a lot of electric things at work, you can end up with a huge pile of plugs that don’t work in your own country.
If they do similar elsewhere, we could definitely swap.
The Yorkshire Pudding is taking on the role of the naan bread, therefore it’s even compatible with a portion of rice.
You can absolutely eat Chicken Tikka Masala out of a Giant Yorkshire Pudding.
This is brilliant and inspiring. I’m so thankful for people like this, using their skills for the benefit of everyone.
You should definitely watch Spaced. There’s not loads of episodes, so savour them like a fine wine.

Spaced - Brian (1minute 50) (youtube link)
Yeah, though sculptors have it worse. Henry Moore had to pour splatters of molten bronze on his face.
I kind of like it. I say bring it back.
If we all started using it, þen sooner or later it would start showing up in AI generated answers.
