For videos, frame height, frame width, total bitrate, video bitrate, bit depth. For photos, height, width and other details. For audio, bitrate. Windows has all this in its Explorer, but lacks tabs (Clover adds that) and has a joke of a file search (Everything Search fixes that).
Integrating, extracting and displaying nicely some essential metadata for multimedia files using Exiftool or Mediainfo or other methods is largely unrecognised outside Directory Opus, and Windows Explorer straight up provides that as columns in detail view so you can sort files based on them. I do not think anyone realises how powerful Windows Explorer can be for serious file management for data hoarders and preservationists, with Clover tabs or 2 side-by-side windows.
Edit: checked Dolphin, apparently it decides to not show any video, photo or image info for some reason in detail columns, even though preview has the info. It fell just a sliver short of making me its biggest shill.
Edit 2: Baloo indexing just does not happen for Dolphin, this is why I prefer GNOME over KDE. Atleast shit works when GNOME claims it does.
ONE GOOD FREE FILE MANAGER
I am angry and pissed how not a single free open source file manager, actually made for power multimedia users, has been made to date with the ideal functionality I can imagine. Not even free closed ones are good enough. And not even paid ones are what I want them to be.
Linux file managers all have a problem of not having attribute detail columns related to videos, audio and photos for some bizarre reason. On Windows you have Explorer++ and FreeCommanderXE, best ones, that screen tear like a bag of poop with thumbnails on, then you have Directory Opus which costs $80 and still is not ideal because all they figured out was giving options, but not getting experienced power users to help design default UIs.

Got any shred of evidence that Huawei ever spied on people?
USA is undefeated since 1970s when CIA global surveillance programs started ramping up. And the global Skynet is 5/9/14 Eyes plus Israel and Japan.
I guess westerners eternally rely on a circular logic loop of projection-based trolling on international level, since that is their only talent. They and their countries are rotten useless mess destined to be like this forever, like hopeless daydreaming romantic hippies smoking weed on streets.

Oh yes casual blanket discrimination of EVERYONE that is not a blue eyes blonde hair should be handwaved, because it must be an anomaly to treat rest of the world as subhumans by you and your Anglosphere.
Your little rant about Russia is very funny, because it is exactly what happens in USA, Canada and European countries. However, Russia does not engage in institutionalised discrimination the way Anglosphere imperialism does, or support for or commit genocides and foreign interventions to install their own puppets, or use their media to manipulate global discourse by carefully crafted everyday life propaganda aimed at the proletariat to suck them dry of their capital and revolutionary ability.
Anglosphere should probably just go commit genocide on each other if all they can do is commit genocide, because they clearly cannot think of anything along the lines of communism. All you folks can do is tax fund your genocidal overlords, and eat pizzas/burgers/baguettes on the couch and watch Netflix/HBO and cry bullshit on Twitter and parrot whatever NATO media tells you to. I almost forgot to say this, that media parroting includes (not even neo fascist or neo Nazi) straight up Nazi slogans and Nazi symbols and signs.
Go commit some revolution and overthrow your governments if you believe one shred in your human rights gibberish. Maybe it can atone for the sin of parroting the dehumanising narrative on Russia.
Citing Vice and Bellingcat as your sources really, really outs you, @petrescatraian@libranet.de. The sick fantasies that white Europeans have really opened my brains, which once used to think Europe might have some hope of being better than genocidal USA.
I thank you for opening my eyes to increase my distrust in Europeans, as an Indian, and to become aware of how far you people can go in maligning people that historically (and even now) work so hard against Nazism in this world. I will never forget how all non-blueeyes-blondehair people were pushed out when people were going to European countries as refugees during the start of Ukraine conflict.
Remember this Kremlin propaganda? https://twitter.com/non_philosophy/status/1498000420815396872

I want to share my snippet of thought on this AI chat assistant phenomenon. We should stay away from empowering any of these corporation models with our data and input, and exclusively choose to empower open community models. OpenAI CEO recently making a statement about how he is dismantling capitalism, as a corporation, smelled too foul to me.
Well… seriously, go and read those archived r/linux and HN comments. This fellow here is pretty well known in privacy community to be basically someone who shits on Linux and praises Windows and MacOS security. This person and Brad Spengler were the ones to begin this trend of Big Tech “security” apologia in privacy community, which has become a disease with GrapheneOS on the mobile side of things now.
These specimens/entities coincidentally praise the security of Windows, MacOS, Google Pixel, Apple Secure Enclave, while calling Linux and FOSS projects horrible nightmare all the time, consistently. Moreover, they also coincidentally happen to call PRISM Snowden and Assange revelations irrelevant jokes (see https://web.archive.org/web/20220418214232/https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/iox6rq/should_i_get_an_iphone_if_i_value_privacy/ or https://i.imgur.com/xcryYvM.jpg).
There is a lot to it, and its hard to form a gist of it other than these entities being extremely dangerous to and being the equivalent of termites to privacy community, everywhere one exists.
Be grateful for the transparency I portray, and for presenting what people otherwise would never have known. Even I see it as a bit cringey, but I was neck deep into privacy community back then, and you have to use certain lingo to mesh with that crowd.
If I told you madaidan used to (probably still moderates) NSFW subreddits years ago, you would be shell shocked.
GrapheneOS is a custom Android fork with largely no security enhancements, besides UX rework and copypasting other security projects. They sell snake oil in the name of prestigious glory that FLOSS label carries.

Its lead developer (who became irrelevant in society) and his acolytes believe in purposely creating insane amounts of toxicity and drama to remain relevant in the privacy community. They baselessly label everyone with political epithets to defame everyone, and then scream “defamation” when a counter argument is presented to their manufactured position.
The long comment by official GrapheneOS account should be here: https://web.archive.org/web/20220502064114/https://old.reddit.com/r/PrivacyGuides/comments/uged1y/is_grapheneos_actually_good_or_just_hype/
Recently someone informed me of them creating drama with Bromite (on which their Vanadium browser is based) and FlorisBoard projects. They labelled those project maintainers with very bad, false epithets.

I had the opportunity to elaborate on the entire feature list of GrapheneOS, as per their website, last year. Look here. https://i.imgur.com/pQHoq84.jpg
There are only 3 things they ever did on their own as extras, and even they have basically no value in the grand scheme of things, them being offering:
- instead of 16 character, 64 character password limit on lockscreen
- PIN scrambling
- Morula method of exec spawning instead of Zygote method used in most AOSP projects
Now, I will elaborate on these 3.
- Elaborating on first one, it is kind of useless as you can see for obvious reasons.
- For second one, you already understand why fingerprint avoids the issue of someone peeping at your PIN/password entered across your shoulder. Fingerprint is infinitely superior. Even more so with Android and iOS both offering biometric Lockdown features.
- This one is somewhat half credible, but the goal is to destroy the memory blocks used by an app after it is exited, so that memory blocks do not retain essential text strings of data to exploit. For this, you can just go to Developer Options and enable “Don’t keep activities” and it will achieve the same effect as Morula method of exec spawning implemented by GrapheneOS.
So out of the 20-30 features GrapheneOS claims they developed, everything is either a modification of app permissions or firewalling or AOSP feature rebranding.
Also, as you may have famously heard about “Sandboxed Play Services”, it is not developed by GrapheneOS, but a project called ProtonAOSP, whose developer is kdrag0n. GrapheneOS copied that off and rebranded it as their own developed thing.

Let me provide you a little more on the subject.
Tweet linked in above hysteric post https://web.archive.org/web/20200812145114/https://nitter.net/MichalPurzynski/status/1293220570885062657
The job of madaidan/Spengler/GrapheneOS church is to hate and destroy FLOSS projects that condemn their actions or do not fall in line with them, and even attempt witch hunts on people that criticise them. I was a victim of it last year, as they hijacked the Matrix room of this very community (which I was unable to save since admins did not listen to me) and attempted to create fabricate projection lies against me because I moderate this place. https://archive.ph/acy2h
One of the best… you mean toilet papers of the internet, repeatedly trashed by r/linux and HN users?

madaidan is an admin of GrapheneOS, NoGoolag, SpiteChat communities/chatrooms across various platforms. The “insecurities” blog chap, notorious for a lot of misinformation in FOSS and Linux communities but opposite in a big chunk of mainstream privacy community. A staple of the “redditor hackerman” starterpack, for people who know nothing better.
He knows literally nothing and has proven his credentials https://i.imgur.com/UHhQRIU.jpg and https://i.imgur.com/FiYhbkk.jpg, among many other places.
BAT is Brave Attention Token, a form of crypto exclusive and locked into Brave. Its like a little crypto mining scam.

Brave also has a known history of whitelisting Facebook and Twitter trackers, and has a crippled adblocker that does not work on Brave’s “acceptable” advertisements.
Brave Browser hardcoded their crypto partner Binance referral links (https://twitter.com/cryptonator1337/status/1269201480105578496) alongwith Ledger and soon-to-be-compromised Coinbase (https://decrypt.co/31461/coinbase-wants-to-identify-bitcoin-users-for-dea-irs)
Also some new stuff you might want to check.
Because I wanted to democratise privacy for masses by giving them 97-100% benefit of “elitist” setups.
Also I must destroy the elitists, pretend experts and privacy circus that goes on in the community. They exist to harm FLOSS movement, use the prestigious label to masquerade as sheeps and harass and datamine privacy users by gaining trust.
I use Windows 10 on M.2 SSD and Ubuntu LTS on HDD on my modern ThinkPad like a dual power user. Why, because I can, I am gigachad.
