LosslessCut doesn’t only use lossless codecs. It losslessly cuts video files encoded in lossy codecs.

You’re confusing cause and effect. It’s lossless because it cuts at keyframes and does not re-encode.

If it did what you’re suggesting it wouldn’t be lossless anymore.

Also, this feels like blogspam with a short summary and a link to the actual source. Original Verge article here.

That’s weird then. Never happened to me and I’ve used it everyday for a couple of weeks now. I wonder if the two bugs are related.

Also sometimes it just literally does nothing. Push the play button and nothing at all happens.

That’s a bug with the notification/lockscreen widget AFAICT. Pressing play on the main player window should work. This is the most serious bug I’ve found. It’s quite a promising player otherwise.

I’m happy to know that Pocketcasts is OS now, that was my player of choice before trying to jump to Antennapod.

Reaper as well.

I love my Garmin watches but they aren’t really known for privacy or security. They had a ransomware attack in 2020 and the Connect service was down. It’s speculated that they paid the ransom.

Isn’t this an intrinsic problem with AMD graphics chips? I thought this was the case on windows as well.

The SSD write distribution theory sounds plausible but do you have any sources on that?

I wouldn’t be surprised if SSD controllers distribute writes across partitions, transparently to the OS; if I was an engineer designing these things that’s how I’d do it.

Feels like good practice to have /home mounted on a separate partition if you want to install a different distro or reinstall but I’ve never had to test the theory.
