What? They didn't get anyone killed.

I at times am chopping up 2-8 hour videos with dozens of clips that are not pre-defined for me. I can do this with FFmpeg and I love doing most things from terminal but its a pretty hard sell when what you're doing involves something inherently graphical. I use FFmpeg for all sorts of things but it just doesn't make sense for editing such large videos on the fly like this.
Vidcutter is good but no where near as customizable as Losslesscut (specifically in terms of keybinds) and using the timeline is nowhere near as smooth. Its being developed in a way I approve of much more but I still prefer using Losslesscut by a large margin. If it ever catches up I'll be thrilled because I do like what its about a lot more but I don't really think it currently competes in terms of user experience. Still if it works well for you then there's a lot to appreciate.
Used this for ages. People will bring up various alternatives (including just strictly using FFmpeg) and I have to wonder if the only use case they can fathom is clipping 1 segment out of a longer video. All suggested alternatives would involve such a garbage workflow and unintuitive experience for any real project. I dislike Electron as much as anyone else but it works fine here, and does the job better than anything else I've tried. I am very comfortable with FFmpeg and have used pretty much any tool you can name, I still use Losslesscut daily.
I mostly use 7zip but I've had a number of archives in the past that would simply not properly extract using 7zip and WinRAR had no issues with. 7zip is fine, however I don't see it as superior really in any notable way. I don't understand why everyone is crazy over it at this point. It's good, but so is WinRAR. Why is it sad for people to use one good program over the other when they both accomplish the same thing in about the same way? There's very little special about 7zip for typical day to day use.
Reality is, years don't mark anything. People have been saying "x year is the worst" increasingly for the last 4 years, and 2020 is the only recent one that actually fits. Tomorrow isn't going to shift anything, it's just how we keep track of time. Expecting a year to contain itself is what leads to this yearly disappointment everyone seems to experience. What I find frustrating, is that all people can say about most deaths now a day is "this year is the worst". No sentiments, nothing about the person who's passed. Just self absorbed focus on how this year sucks (they all suck apparently if I were to listen to people yearly). I wish we'd celebrate the person by default instead.
MF DOOM was one of the greats. One of the only reasons I could get into hip hop. Really heartbreaking.
