We played bridge builder in 7th grade. Before long I was making toilet animations in Macromedia Flash. Relevant today? SweetHome 3D in all its java glory. Pretty good for showing off dream house renderings to bored tinder dates.

Scrivener. The Mac version is what keeps me on the platform. It solves two problems that are hard to understand if you’ve never written a book. 1) It lets you structure a document so that it is easy to reorder chapters and track the revision process. 2) It compiles your written document into any number of industry standard or custom-defined formats, so you can e.g. export a piece of writing as an e-book, in a standard manuscript format, or your publisher’s oddball house style without having to make manual edits. (2) by itself can save a week of painstaking edits if you move a project from one publisher to another.

poverty goat posted:ninite dot com ninite is great and i only discovered it 5 years aago but it's a regular go-to when setting up work computers or even reinstalls or what not. its a shame it only has windirstat instead of wiztree tho like big beef said. windir really loving sucks and takes a bazillion hours to load and is slow as poo poo to use, but wiztree is real fast and snappy

also honorable mention to MonkeyJam, which was my favorite stop-motion animation program for many years in the XP-era. I have not done any claymation since that time, so it's likely that there is software that surpasses its capabilities, but still a fantastic piece of freeware re: WinDirStat vs. WizTree, everyone knows that SpaceSniffer is the best disk space manager

genuinely pleasantly astonished that no-one's posted a certain popular RPG as their answer audacity is very good, and i am a big fan of screen to gif for recording short videos on one's turned-on monitor. bit of a pain that you have to hook it up to an mp4 encoder yourself, but it's useful for making funny gifs.

does HandBrake count as niche? HandBrake is the VLC of transcoders- free and open source, has never failed me, and the only thing I remember about life before it is that it was a confusing, twisted nightmare involving something called "codecs" want to rip a DVD and burn in the subtitles? make the subtitles optional? preserve alternate audio tracks? HandBrake want to put videos on my iPad for those long bus trips, but they're not in the right format? HandBrake want to watch porn on PlayStation VR but it's not in the right format? somehow, HandBrake

I use this program called kodi to manage all my dvds ripped by handbrake which people already mentioned. It's pretty neat. It will actually like pull up movie posters and cast information if you name everything right. It also keeps track of episodes you've watched.

Two small command line utilities I use on Linux: exiftool - a thing you can use to remove any EXIF or geotag metadata from a picture real quick wordgrinder - basic text editor that can be run entirely in terminal, the guy who made it said he used it for writing drafts without having to worry about formatting

Qlab, Reaper and Dante Via Qlab is a show control system for live events / theatre / etc that lets you fire off video/audio/lighting control commands but you can control it a million different ways over a network or via MIDI or get it tracking timecode. The developers are super cool and let you rent it by the day if you're a small production. Once you've rented 110 days of it they just give you a full licence anyway. You can do almost anything with this and automate yourself out of a job but it can also bring entire productions to a screeching hault with an error bong if you gently caress it up. Either way you end up unemployed. The same people that make Qlab also released a thing called Lockstep that translates LTC timecode to MTC on a virtual midi port. This solves a lot of problems when you don't want to deal with loving 5 pin din connectors in the year 2020. Reaper is a DAW like Logic or Pro Tools written by the guy that wrote Winamp. It has similar really great licencing (it's free rn till the start of June to encourage people to learn it while locked down due to Corona) - they're insanely responsive and if you complain about something on the forums or bugtracker it sometimes gets fixed in days. It's very good for generating timecode both LTC and MTC!!! Dante Via is supposed to be for hooking up consumer applications like Spotify or Skype up to professional audio systems using networked audio but because of how it works it's also really useful for routing stuff inside your own PC like feeding Spotify into Discord to annoy the poo poo out of people. Honourable mentions: everything from Rogue Amoeba.

Everyone, absolutely everyone, should have a will. I'd never recommend software over an attorney. However, if you refuse to go to an attorney, you can still ensure you have some kind of plan in place. It comes with medical POA and final arrangements letters and stuff too. Quite a bit actually. Handy bugger. It's not free but it's not expensive, like $50 or whatever.

KDiff3 when you need to find the difference between two nearly identical text files real fast because a setting got hosed up somewhere and you don't want to drag and drop poo poo and just right click to remember the first file then right click again check against the second. There may be better solutions for that but I'm not looking for them.

It’s nice having your own server for streaming stuff like kids’ educational programs, or other stuff that gets watched and rewatched. You don’t have to worry about it rotating off a service and it doesn’t count against data caps.

This shows the painting engine of Opencanvas pretty well, it's on Steam also but they just e-mail me a key since I've been buying upgrades since like Opencanvas 3 (it's on 7 currently) and so that's easier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANAvqEcGFBA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2xMWWjxE8c It's just really robust for painting. A lot of programs like Photoshop do "more", but tbh don't do nearly as well at the core just... painting part. And the infinite playback is a painter's wet dream, since you will ALWAYS over-work a piece. You can also have a save further on, open the "record", and then pull individual layers from the "past". It's awesome. Pick fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Apr 24, 2020 |
