#Mattermost
Mattermost is geared towards technical teams, focusing on collaboration features like code sharing and workflow automation.

#RocketChat
Rocket.Chat is more feature-rich and customizable, often preferred for enterprise-level communication.

There are two open source web browser projects that have their own Mastodon instances.

Unfortunately, Mozilla has decided to shutdown their Mastodon instance by the end of the year.

But Vivaldi Web Browser has confirmed that they will keep maintaining their Mastodon instance.

Shotcut is an excellent video editor for beginners with the ability to do fast video editing and simple tasks and effects.

On the other hand, Blender is centered on 3D animation and video editing is not the focus of the application. Also, editing videos on Blender has a steeper learning curve than with Shotcut.

@gemlog @clacke @mergerg FFmpeg is the most popular command line video editor on Linux, but there are also a few other frameworks available too, like Melt, GPAC, Mencoder, and GStreamer.

Some of these other videos editors might not be practical for editing videos on the command line like GStreamer, but you can use them on the command line if you do want too.

@mergerg The best video editors for Linux are probably Kdenlive, Shotcut, Flowblade, Openshot and Olive video editor. For simple video editing tasks, you can use FFmpeg on the command line.

DaVinci Resolve requires a good graphics card.

@greg @BeAware 93 languages is more than most people can handle. The translation feature is nice to have, but search filters would be impressive to have in Mastodon as well.

@BeAware My language settings is "English." Why do I get all these toots in other languages in my search results?

Mastodon needs to have an option to apply filters to the search results. I would like to hide all the Mastodon search results that are NOT in English. Providing a translation feature does not necessarily help.

@gm The ASUS USB-BT400 USB 2.0 Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter is plug and play or did you have to install and/or configure for it to work on Linux?

What is a good Bluetooth USB adapter that is supported on Linux?

@youronlyone There are moments when multi-cursor editing can be useful. Editing CSS comes to mind when you want to add the same CSS properties to various classes. You can avoid copying and pasting the same CSS properties throughtout your file by using multi-cursor editing instead.

@eliasp @youronlyone Helix editor looks awesome, but people have to know that it requires a terminal to use. I think it is impressive that it is written in Rust.
