  • I work in the dubbing industry, and I can tell you AI is not a solution. Sure, it’ll be a “nice have” if there is no dubbing available, but you can say the same for shitty subtitles.

    The reality is, if you want quality work, you need to pay a bunch of people for it.

    Dubbing translation is different than regular translation, because it has to fit the mouth movements with the syllable count and other things like billabials matching.

    I could go on, but I’m just saying it’s as complex as other things you probably don’t consider AI fit for.




  • Copyparty is very cool, but it also confuses me a bit. It keeps giving me 403 forbidden errors when I try to rename or move files on certain folders.

    I’m pretty sure it’s a permission problem, because the root folder is read only but the folders inside have permissions per user, but I never figured it out.

    I still use it daily, 5/7 perfect software.












  • Yup. My desktop was the last computer I had running windows 10.

    A couple years ago, I installed debian on an old laptop that I’m using as a home server now, and that was my first contact with Linux since 2010 or so. It was an experiment that got from “I’m just trying stuff” to “I use this every day”.

    Then I got a steam deck, and I saw that gaming on Linux was a thing now. Gaming is one of the things I need my PC for, since I don’t have consoles, so that was important for me.

    Then I got an old laptop from my sibling and I decided to install Arch to learn a bit more. Another experiment that got out of hand, until that laptop became my daily driver. I spent less and less time in front of my desktop.

    This year, with Win10 going out of support, and having no interest in Win11 after having used Linux a bunch, I decided that was it. I did slack for a bit, because I had a lot of files that I needed to review and backup (or delete).
    Because of unrelated stuff with my server -I had to empty my external hard drive to reformat it from NTFS to ext4-, I used the opportunity to do the hard work, and when that was over, installing Arch was a breeze.

    That was a couple months ago, and I’m still customizing the PC, because life got in the way, and I’m doing things differently to my laptop (using niri instead of hyprland, using btrfs instead of ext4 -which I did wrong and I have to fix to be able to do snapshots-).

    But yeah, I’m having fun and I don’t miss windows. There’s some software that I need sometimes, like the 8bitdo firmware updater and things like that, but it’s mostly minor stuff. I did use FL Studio before and I heard it doesn’t work great on Linux, but I haven’t made music for the past 4 years, and if I want to and can’t make it work I can always use Reaper or something :)
