For whatever reason, many of the editors mentioned here never worked for me … like OpenShot, ShotCut or PiTiVi were really unstable the last time I tried (might be a distro or DE thing). Also I found it hard to cut precisely when they worked. Lightworks, Da Vinci, Cinelerra, I had a hard time getting them to run. Maybe that changed in the meantime.
I ultimately stuck with Kdenlive, which is stable enough and allows for reasonably precise cutting.
Hehe, back in the days I was in a similar situation, and I gave a harddisk to a friend who had a more powerful PC, so he could cross-compile everything onto the harddisk. Sneaker-network compilation …
Hmm good point!
That’s not mutually exclusive with the author’s argument, though.
if a computer vendor offers multiple distributions to choose from, the problem of choice remains.
And if the vendor only offers one option, which one should it be? And how can a user verify that it’s a “good” option?
Haha yes, the car is the German’s favorite child, and complaining their favorite pastime.
That being said, I think there’s more factors to it. Keep in mind that most German cities were in ruins after WWII, and plenty of buildings have been demolished to make room for cars.
The difference in electoral systems might play a role, where a green party could slowly, but steadily gain influence.
Railway infrastructure was already quite dense before mass motorization.
A lot of money has been spend to get through traffic out of town centers.
There’s probably more to it …
