A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Also one of the beauty of the Unix philosophy.
I'd rather have a bundle of small, specialized utilities, each with a specific scope that I can then combine into a workflow than a one-size fits all software.
Software like
ffmpeg,curl,awk, etc can accomplish so much when combined together.ffmpeg is actually a bad example in this case, it's evolved so much and including way more stuff than what it was originally set out to do. Like sure it doesn't come with UI but commercial/FOSS software all use it one way or another.
Haha, I wanted to object to that one as well :)
If you ever had to find an error in the ffmpeg debug log, you would not say this software is finished...

Dang, it's gonna eat the CPU util even better now? I hope this can be implemented for better and faster scrubbing/stepping experience.(both VLC and Shotcut)
