Comment Re:Finlandization is moral debasement (Score 2) 138

Your thesis is substantiated by another dramatic close encounter with a missile happened more than 3 decades ago in Italy, and to this day we don't know who killed all those people, source, and if the trail of suicides-bad luck that oppressed the witnesses is entirely casual.

I too would be wary of whatever comes out the likes of the pulseaudio guy, but this is an ad hominem. Systemd has already many questionable aspects without having to bring in Lennart's previous artwork.

As of now, knoppix works on all my hardware, boots as fast as systemd distro (if not faster), so I plan to wait 'till systemd does the damage it was designed for (I know, others call it "innovation", by the fruit...), before NOT switching to it :)

Comment no real winners (Score 4, Informative) 163

My desktop power user workflow wrt video is:
cat (unix command) to piece together the 2gb splices the camcorder makes (avchd)
ffmpeg to change the container from whatever the camcorder uses to a more editor friendly mkv, you can use the copy option for blazing fast remuxing without reencoding.
kdenlive or cinelerra. They are both prone to crash so save often. Cinelerra has best curves for fading but it's a very peculiar GUI.

If you know your stuff, you can do pretty decent videos.

Comment Fake audio is useful. (Score 2) 89

It is good to give devs the option of realistic audio, but for games in medium - big settings, the relative slowness of sound propagation is a problem. Getting a headshot and later hearing the sound is counter intuitive, at least for the hollywood generations. I guess that realistic effects with no delay in sound propagation is the way to go.
