Tom Hackshaw @tomupom@merveilles.town

I’ve only just realised that I forgot to do a proper #introduction when I first joined this instance, so here goes!
I’m Tom! I am originally from Japan, and come from a visual arts and performance background. I’m currently teaching as a high school teacher in Aotearoa, NZ.

Lately I have found a lot of inspiration from people involved in communities such as this one, and have been working on small web projects in my spare time. Thank you for having me!

Kdenlive has come such a long way. After having used FCP and Resolve for years I honestly don’t think I need to use anything else for video editing anymore

I’m fully done

I don’t know if it’s where I live, but the outright racism, patronising, entitlement and general shit treatment here is unbelievable

I would’ve thought that post-lockdown in NZ people would generally be more understanding and nicer to each other, but jesus some people are fucking horrible

I don’t want to work a general public facing job anymore

I was making this as a joke in GIMP this evening but have found it actually looks plausible lol

Given how difficult they are to remove and how they basically hound you for money I would class them as genuine malware

They are probably one of the worst software companies I have ever dealt with, and I never want to do business with them again

Adobe CC is the bane of my existence, even trying to remove it from one of my systems is a test of ones sanity
