La Fée Verte @Absinthe@qoto.org

Okay so if all the toots coming across are in a language I neither understand or don't have the inclination to learn do I want to "block" the sender, or "mute" them?

@freemo hmmm, well in that case do I need to somehow tone down the "Gai kaken oifen yam!"? :)

@freemo well then you should have less opposition.

And while we are at it, on behalf of all the persons in the USA let me offer you a hardy, and with as much respect as possible, "gai kaken afen yam."

I hadn't noticed any anti-American posts from you yet, but just so people don't think I don't fight back, I had to give it a shot. :) <-- notice the smiley thing

@freemo well it is a holiday weekend in the states. many people might be traveling

@nergal and such a sexy accent :)

@nergal if you could achieve a nonprofit status like a US 501.3c or whatever the equivalent in your country, you can be donated to by persons of means or companies with whatever tax benefits that gives them. Even if not, if you show that your goal is to heal some class of persons, then even without tax benefit some will be sympathetic to the cause and donate and help. Companies regularly upgrade hardware that is still quite viable and useful, poerhaps needing new batteries or other minor work. Decide what you really want and you can do it.

Here is the site:
https://cinelerra.org/

There are a few forks, but I think this will get you the happy version:

https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/downloads/

Just select your distro and follow the instructions. I personally like it better than kdenlive

@nergal if that is your market, then perhaps you need go more of a not-for-profit route regardless of the price. With the aim or providing the person with a machine, gratis. There are other organizations that do this as part of their mission. "Computers for Kids" is one that focuses on getting machines to school age kids so they can do homework and such. There are female based organizations like "Gems" that I know provide appropriate clothing for women to go on job interviews, they might also help with computers for doing resume work. Either crowdfunding or perhaps a pay it forward kind of thing could get you the component hardware that you could either build from and install whatever software you deemed appropriate to serve the needs of those living on $200 a month.

@nergal perhaps a little newer then :)

@nergal there is so little markup on HW. Pure does it. And so does 76 and I think you can get Dell with Linux on it. Scooping up used stuff and refurbing might be a strategy too.

@kezzbracey@linuxrocks.online may I recommend Cinelerra ?

@kezzbracey@linuxrocks.online mazel tov! Now what?

@nergal first I am hearing of it :)

@nergal time to write an RFC

@nergal are you switching to guix soon?

@rasterman MSI is a Microsoft auto installer
