Oh come on. There’s not 5 minutes of introduction and 3 of ads.
The tutorial is 10:03 in length so they can hit that monetization
And a 10 second intro
Patch notes: Removed button that fixes issue.
This is linux times ten. I use it all the time, but as soon as you have a problem even remotely outside the norm you’re screwed unless you’re steeped in knowledge for the particular distro you work with. Your quest for an answer will result in: 2-3 other people with the same question, but no responses. A half dozen answers for your problem yet a distro version for which the answer no longer works. A couple lengthy, well-thought out answers that require multiple terminal entries and dependency installations yet still doesn’t work after carefully following the instructions.
./configure not found.
Installs configure.
Still doesn’t work.
Anyway, lol, as much as I like linux and have a crapload of instances running, it sure is a pain in the ass.
With blender, it’s “next. choose Clip Offset Settings under the View menu” and I have 6 View menus, none of which has anything with that name. Then I find out it was all changed in some previous version.
Flip Normals has changed names so many times in the past decade that I have no idea what it’s called today or what it was called before and I’m starting to suspect it’s in the witness protection agency.
I feel bad for newcomers because you just have to use the Force a lot of times when using Blender.
Also, I was once following a laptop disassembly video step by step. Half-way through, he stops and turns the laptop over several times in confusion. He was just winging it for the video.
I forgot where I got this, but it is from fediverse

Gawd I hate video tutorials.
It’s done to pad out the time before you leave the video, because you have to be watching for a certain length of time before it’s considered “watched” for monetisation purposes.
What about someone who mumbles and has music cranked to 11 so you can’t even hear what they are saying?
And the comments are all like: ”You’re my savior! This was the only solution that actually worked for me!”
This was the only solution that actually worked for me!
Every time you find a solution, it’s ‘the only solution that actually worked’ for you. Why would you keep trying different solutions after you already found one that worked?
See also: “It’s always in the last place you look.”
If a solution seems off despite fixing the issue, I will absolutely continue looking for alternative solutions. I suppose it depends on if you’re more interested in the answer than the fix.
Wait fuck this is true haha
On a couple of occasions, after finding the missing item, I have continued to search even though it has been found. Because absolutes are wrong, and I’m here to prove it.
“Want to configure the program to run? Just go to this directory and edit this text file!”
Looks inside
No file or directory exists.
Often, in that case, you need to create that directory and that text file.
cd vs mkdir makes a big difference when a beginner follows a tutorial IMHO.
Must be a Microsoft product.
I saw the start menu. It’s definitely the search indexing on windows. That’s been broken since like Windows 10.
If you search for something and it doesn’t show up, you can do a bunch of troubleshooting and reseting or you can download a launcher like microsoft power toys > power run.
btw my OS died last week so now I’m officially on arch linux 😎
Me every two years I try to do more than adjust transparency in gimp
You ain’t even getting it doing that. There’s been a bug since 2.10 with transparency. Export anything and you get a crushed alpha channel. Import it into anything else and the alpha looks crazy high contrast. Import it into GIMP again and the contrast is normal, but the channel is still crushed, so it’s banded as fuck.
They say it’s intended behavior, which would make sense if GIMP was a dedicated image corruptor.
!memes@lemmy.world Sorry, what are you people talking about? I have precisely this GIMP version (to be exact, 2.10.28, in a very out-of-date Linux setup) and I never experienced problems with transparency/alpha channel. And I’ve been using GIMP since… I dunno, 2019?, even earlier, when I started to become accustomed to GIMP… I mean, I guess y’all talking about exporting a PNG file from GIMP, right? Or are y’all actually talking about other image formats?
Someone posted it to their bug tracker forever ago, with images, but they changed the name to some random unrelated feature request and now I can’t find it. Did find this Bluesky post about it, though:

Gnu Image Mangling Program
You think GIMP is your ally? I was born in it, learned to image edit on it. I didn’t touch Photoshop until I was already a man.
(Seriously, though, once you actually get into GIMP and learn it well, it works pretty great. I struggle trying to use anything else.)
Every god damn time…
fr, every, every goddamn fucking time…
don’t forget the shitty microsoft word animation introduction that takes up like 2 minutes
