I’m putting this in chat and not in Technology because I’m also wondering about things like clothes, appliances—basically any sort of consumer product, virtual or physical, you can think of that you feel has retained some standard of quality and has not yet been enshittified. I would start by saying that Wikipedia has not yet been enshittified, but perhaps you disagree? Post is inspired by this video.
EDIT: coyotino correctly points out that Wikipedia isn’t a product but a service; poor word choice on my part, just trying to cast a wide a net as possible here in the hopes of making a list of “things that are still good that don’t suck.” Like I said, a wide net 🙂.
Im not as active in the movie industry anymore but I always liked Blackmagic. They’re making Davinci Resolve, a really good video editor. Really generous free tier, Pro version is a one-time purchase.
They’re also making affordable Cinema Cameras. Both of these products really shook up the industry a few years back.
I’ve been using Davinci Resolve for many years now and couldn’t recommend it more. In my opinion, some of the best software I’ve ever used or heard of.
My fusion clips keep saying Media Offline but it’s not offline! It’s right there!
Other than that it’s been great for me also.
Man I keep reading about resolve over the past year, but my 2013 computer can’t handle it. It’s very sad. It looks like such a useful program. I’ve been using shotcut instead and while it gets the job done well enough, there’s so many little nitpicks that I’ve got haha
I’m no expert in video editing and have only done it scarcely, but I do still want to plug Kdenlive for those interested in a FOSS alternative to Resolve. I don’t know how it stacks up by comparison, and I suspect it probably can’t do quite as much, but it’s still a well-made piece of software that’s been easy for me to use and more than capable of pulling off anything I’ve needed.
