There is a Wookie padawan in The Clone Wars and I absolutely approve.

WastedJobe@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you owned a magic library people donated to in order to preserve media for eternity but which was going through overpopulation, what criteria would you use to decide which media survived/discarded?6·1 year agoIt is history though. Erasing it from history would make it harder to study how insane that man was, which is immediately apparent in basically any part of that book. In Germany, Mein Kampf is banned except for educational purposes, eg in history class. Nothing conveys just how bad Hitler was as effectively as his own writing.
WastedJobe@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is YOUR top 10 list of all time best video games?61·1 year agoNo order in particular:

- KOTOR 1 & 2
- Dota 2
- Mass Effect
- Grim Dawn
- Kerbal Space Program
- Warframe
- Age Of Empires II
- Battle for Middle Earth 2
- Counter Strike
WastedJobe@feddit.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it greener to just burn plastic?1·1 year agoStill not a great idea to burn recyclable resources. The stuff that would otherwise end up in a landfill, sure, but most plastics can be used again in some way.
WastedJobe@feddit.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it greener to just burn plastic?85·1 year agoDefine “green”. In terms of CO2 it would obviously be horrible and incredibly stupid.
Maybe more metal-adjacent, but amazing: Everytime We Touch - Electric Callboy

Not sure Ardour can open video, but it’s a capable DAW and open source. Reaper is closed source but it can open (and even render) pretty much any video format. To actually seperate a single voice, you do need additional plugins though, no matter which DAW you’re using.
I think iZotope RX could do it, but it is fairly expensive. I haven’t seen any open source audio tools that can do this at all. It is pretty much guaranteed to require some kind of machine learning, as parametrically seperating by EQ or phase won’t work if you have only one source signal (even with two or more microphones, it would be really, really hard).
A very good spectral editor might technically work, it would however take several days of manually deleting select frequencies on an almost single sample level and still sound bad, especially if the noise is nearly the same level as the signal.
WastedJobe@feddit.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is ocean fertilization not taken more seriously as a climate change solution?7·1 year agoIt could change the pH of the oceans, making it harder for anything to live there. Plus, it might not store the CO2 for longer than 1000 years, which doesnt really solve the issue (I have a source for that somewhere, I think it was the IPCC).
WastedJobe@feddit.deto Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit has never turned a profit in nearly 20 years, but it just filed to go public anyway27·1 year agoHow did he get performance based bonuses when his company isn’t profitable?
WastedJobe@feddit.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Where are the good political songs?12·1 year agoThis might not be everyones cup of tea, but metal and hardcore are full of protest music. Heaven Shall Burn for example is lyricly anti-fascist and environmentalist (live video because that show is fucking legendary).
WastedJobe@feddit.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is it possible for this track to have so few plays on Spotify?38·1 year agoAFAIK to count as one play, a song needs to be played for more than 30 seconds (source: friend used to work at a record label), so to me it’s surprising it has any plays at all.
WastedJobe@feddit.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does Harry Potter only know fifth grade math?17·1 year agoIsn’t arithmetic a class in Hogwarts and just a fancy word for maths (not a native speaker)? I think only Hermione takes it though and it’s only mentioned in the books.
WastedJobe@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some things you can/should cheap out on?3·1 year agoI agree in principle, but knowing what people pay for a kb that doesn’t even have a numpad I would raise the usefulness cutoff to around 100.
It doesn’t need to be right to make money, often more money than companies get by paying people to do a job properly.
WastedJobe@feddit.deto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Fossify Gallery is now on F-Droid, and Simple Gallery got removed due to a proprietary dependency1·1 year agoThey were, no new releases yet though except calendar
WastedJobe@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•To those not in the IT industry, what do you think programming is like?1·1 year agoOne minute coming up with a feature, ten minutes coding the most basic version, potentially infinute minutes improving/fixing bugs, -6 hours despairing over time zones. (I had an IT class in my last 2 years of school)
WastedJobe@feddit.deto Technology@beehaw.org•WhatsApp head confirms ads in the messaging app are still in the works19·2 years agoIt’s trying its best ok
WastedJobe@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who was worse, George W. Bush or Donald Trump?1714·2 years agoHow is Putin deciding to invade Ukraine (which he started in 2014 btw) largely Trumps fault?
WastedJobe@feddit.deto Technology@beehaw.org•Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent32·2 years agoAbsolutely. I would prefer they didn’t have google as the default, but I’d rather have Firefox with good funding and google as default than firefox with very little funding.
Doctor Who Season Finale. I’ve caught the bug again after a couple lackluster seasons, they made a great choice bringing back Russel T Davies as showrunner.
