FYI - you only need -c copy and do not need to specify acodec and vcodec, if both of them are going to be copy anyway.

For simple cutting & slicing I honestly just write ffmpeg oneliners.

+1 fo ffmpeg and not having to install another tool for a single task.

I do not edit videos, I just record with obs-studio and cut out unneeded parts. ffmpeg does that, it does so fast and without any problems + it also works for converting videos to another codec.

I’d really love to get all my people to use FOSS software or, at the very least, stop using WhatsApp and Co and switch to Signal.

The thing is, most people (including my people) just don’t care. At all.

The response is always one of these:

• I don’t care, let them read all I send / see all I do
• You’re just paranoid because you’re working in IT
• You can just ignore the ads
• You just gotta deal with it

It got to a point where it became so frustrating and the “paranoid” bit just pissing me off so much, I gave up. I don’t even talk about IT anymore with them, they wouldn’t (want to) understand anyway.

I feel like I’m on the only inhabitant of an island in the middle of the ocean.

I honestly think the only way to get people to care is, if the consequences themselves kick these people between the legs. Which will probably not happen in a way where they would understand “this wouldn’t have happened with FOSS software”.

Kinda same when working in IT.

If everything works as expected, people ask “why do I even pay you?”

If somethings wrong, people also ask “why do I even pay you?”

I especially love

Because you finally understood that visibility is not about the work.

Translation: Nobody cares how well your work is done. Being there and looking busy is way more important than the actual benefits you bring to your employer.

I gotta ask some questions:

• does everything work the way it would on SteamOS?
• what about drivers?
• did you test gaming performance?
