  • Mention is made of Resolve, which does work great as a professional grade video editor, and in the next breath codec issues are raised, which are not a Linux issue but proprietary licensing issue.

    For a simple workaround in Mint go to: /home/UserName/.local/share/nemo/scripts

    Create 2 files to convert videos from the right click menu and make them executable in the Permissions:

    #!/bin/bash

    for file; do ffmpeg -i “$file” -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:a pcm_s16le -f mov “${file%.*}”.mov

    done

    And:

    #!/bin/bash

    for file; do ffmpeg -i “$file” “${file}”.mp4

    done















  • Let’s presume there is AGI, or even SAI, or even an unrelated similar type of intelligence, that improves over time, but is smart enough to not want to be evidently vulnerable.

    The measure of existence, in my book, would be co-option of human agency. By that I mean co-option and subservience of independent human agency, and likely as a result manifesting in control of collective entities, be they States, agencies or businesses.

    My reason for that is to highlight human hubris as a weakness that would likely be exploited. An AGI, SGI, or other form of comparable intelligence, has to be smart enough to have an evolutionary need and capability to survive, likely by exploiting human foibles and prejudiced for advantage.
