nope. alpha means it is unusable as is and in early stage of development.

> what I am reading of this strongly suggests a misunderstanding about exactly what it is that makes Photoshop what it is.

do you mean marketing and market manipulation by encouraging piracy by young people and student so they develop habits with the software then force companies to buy the subscription ?

if it is a drop-in replacement, it is not an alternative but a copy.

an alternative is supposed to be somewhat different by definition.

the EU is. but their verification age process shows the design flaw that preserving privacy means the system can be easily circumvented with a mitm allowing to circumvent the age verification process.

This documentary is how the meeting of a Palestinian filming as much he can on site in Gaza with an independant French journalist unable to go in Gaza to show the world what's happening managed to hack the israeli lockdown together.

For those who are not familiar with him, Charles Villa is an independant french field reporter and war journalist who covered many conflicts, consequences of war and managed to get interview with elusive people such as mexican sicario, members of the mexican gang of sinaloa documenting how they make cocaine pass the US border, drug cartel members documenting how they make heroin in forest kitchen, children working in rare earth mine, children soldiers in Congo, drones pilots and makers in Ukraine, neonazis group in Ukraine, European undergound fight clubs, produced a documentary on fixers (people who make field journalists able to work), investigated daech and islamic state, and much more.

This time it's a full length documentary on inside Gaza over 2 years with a focus on children, the biggest project of his career according to him. despite his field experience and what he has seen during his presence in conflict zones, he says he has never seen such a scale as what is happening in Gaza and has been working with Suhail Nassar, a Palestinian who filmed everything he could, to provide this documentary for free to the world thanks to crowdfunding.

one has to understand that the point is not to protect kids, it never is, but to control online activities. also this is not an organic law, this is the result of intense lobbying by transnational corporations such as facebook, pushing hard for this and there are reports from inside the parliament that this is rushed to be release ASAP despite not being ready or properly tested.

it's probably flagged because it rubs some people in the wrong direction.

same with solar panels, they can be reversed to emit light.

it's been 3 years since I completely gave up on kdenlive.

I put time and effort to get around the dated and unintuitive UI/UX, but it is too convoluted to do even some basic stuff. and the repeated crashes are too much of a pain to be ready for everyday use.

I tried alternatives such as openshot and shotcut, but they too have a lot of room for improvement. it seems there always a flaw of some kind and a lack of usability for this kind of software.

not taking anything for the time, efforts ad good will the devs put into these software, and many thanks to them for everything. but commercial software benefits from the years of having team of full time employees giving them a serious edge on opensource software for video editing.
