yum, thank you. Magic dairy is the best.

I think I miss butter on fresh bread, good quality plain greek yoghurt and ice cream the most

I'm grumpy this morning.Fuck you Adobe and your stupid fucking subscription bullshit.

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Premiere Pro is the worst of the big video editors I've used but I go back to it because of its transcription feature.

I'm almost considering buying the studio version of Davinci Resolve to get the same thing instead.

And codec compatibility can be so hit and miss on Linux I've had to go back to Windows to do my editing

[โ€“] Pilk@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

What do you say about Premiere's AI-powered masking? It looks absolutely best-in-class at the moment but I haven't looked at it in a few months.

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I haven't looked into it yet. I'm just making basic reel style videos. The auto transcription saves a lot of time, but I almost think I end up taking as long going in and tidying them up

[โ€“] Pilk@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Look, anything to knock Adobe down several pegs.

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago

You can even set up a locally run LLM through Kdenlive for transcription. I've set it up on linux, but maybe I should do it again to save myself a few hundred bucks

A 1494 Malleus maleficarum

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Ooooh, sexy! Half a tic, wasn't this written by James 1/IV? In the 1600s? 1494 seems a bit early or was it by another perpetrator?

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

An unpleasant chap named Kramer. The first edition is 1486. James I/VI had a nasty witch obsession, but didn't write it.

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago

Errrk. Don't know this Kramer bloke - other than Friends I guess and that only by repute.

Back to Melbs today.

Solid w/e.

NBN upgrade w/ 600Mbps down 50 up โœ”๏ธ Which is pretty wild considering this place is sort of semi rural.

Hot sauce blended โœ”๏ธ

Spring rolls made โœ”๏ธ

Yelling at a clothesline that needs moving.. because a few screws won't budge โœ”๏ธ

Subwoofer rumbling again โœ”๏ธ

Didn't hurt myself โœ”๏ธ

Oxalis โŒ

[โ€“] SituationCake@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oxalis is the cockroach of the plant world. Unkillable.

True dat :(

Lunch in Surrey Hills. Nice to get out of the house (WFH has made me a hermit).

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago

There are some good spots around there. Wish it was a more regular option for me

Very, very much so

[โ€“] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago

Iโ€™m enjoying the rain now, but also know I need to go out in it in an hour

[โ€“] SituationCake@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago

Damn, bought the wrong lentils. I need the French ones for a grain salad, and I have regular green ones which will turn mushy when cooked. They are good for dahl or soup but not great for a salad. Canโ€™t be bothered to go out to the shops so will make something else.

Cycled back from the girlfriend's place. Easy enough ride with the battery assist. So much nicer than driving.

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago

Got back on my bike last week and hot damn did it feel good!! Just a shitty time of year to pick it back up.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago

Feeling a bit bleh today. Generally flat, headache, upset stomach etc. Right at that 'do I call in sick for work or not?' line, which is really annoying because I tend to get really indecisive when I'm not feeling well. I've ended up erring on the side of caution and not going in. I think I'm right on the line where I'd go in for a day shift, but I'm not up for a night shift.

ok, so I cried because these allergies are wearing me down ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

had been taking cough medicine and difflam for 1.5 days, cough symptoms worsened

seems i was allergic and had a crisis,

how the fuck, when cough symptoms are nearly the same how could I tell what's what

but the dizziness and throat tightening/wheezing were allergy symptoms

my cough symptoms are practically zero now, just a bit of a headache from the allergy crisis

have been relaxing since and I think by tomorrow I will be fine

miss seagoon came over , which was nice

I don't know why this happening, might be a long covid symptom. Will talk to the allergy doc soon.

am playing lovely music that makes me happy ๐Ÿ™‚

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago

Sending you so much love and many hugs!!

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

That sounds awful mate, hope tomorrow is a better day ๐Ÿซ‚

Hope you can get some answers from the allergy doc. Glad itโ€™s improving.

So I think I've finally got the hang of Infinity Nikki and suspect it'll become a problem for me. Low stakes, run around and collect cute outfits, solve puzzles and get shiny stars. There's a helluva lot to it for a gacha game, I had no idea. But I'm really enjoying it!
