ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netOPto DIY@slrpnk.net•Learn to Build With Cardboard! STRONG, Waterproof, Biodegradable, and Free | NightHawkinLightEnglish2·4 days agoIt’s so damn cool!
Just a heads up though, I’m taking this post down since I realized someone else beat me to it :p
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Organic Maps Forked Over Governance Concerns: CoMaps is BornEnglish4·5 days agoGlad to be of help and that you’re up and running! :D
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Organic Maps Forked Over Governance Concerns: CoMaps is BornEnglish22·5 days agoI had to go to the F-droid setting, click on Include Anti-Features, then enable ‘Tethered Network Services’ for it to show up in the F-droid search.

ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Linux@programming.dev•How to (actually) choose a Linux distroEnglish3·20 days agoI’ve never had a Manjaro install not break in the 4 times I’ve given it serious tries, all from updates. I could’ve avoided a few them by checking the forums first, but one was due to not updating for a couple months, which seem to set it up for failure when I did update.
I can’t imagine cursing a newbie with it.
In comparison, Linux Mint has virtually never given me trouble, even if left not updated for months.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netOPto Linux@programming.dev•I make all my videos using Linux. Here's how. | Veronica ExplainsEnglish4·22 days agoYes, unfortunately Kdenlive still has a ways to go when it comes to hardware acceleration. I think it’s mostly the MLT Media Engine that’s holding it back.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netOPto Linux@programming.dev•I make all my videos using Linux. Here's how. | Veronica ExplainsEnglish3·23 days agoAre you selecting the ‘Hardware Accelerated (experimental)’ codecs in the Render menu?
Apparently Kdenlive doesn’t fully utilize the GPU when rendering even when those are selected, but it should use about 30% of the GPU or so.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netOPto Linux@programming.dev•I make all my videos using Linux. Here's how. | Veronica ExplainsEnglish12·23 days agoYou’re likely using the standard open source AMD driver, which should be fine.
At least for me, when I open Kdenlive (using the Flathub version), click on Settings at the top, then ‘Run config wizard’, it brings up a menu to let me select what hardware acceleration I want to use (since I have both AMD and Nvidia), and it seemed to default to using the VAAPI AMD acceleration.
What does it say for you in the Run Config Wizard menu?
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netOPto Linux@programming.dev•I make all my videos using Linux. Here's how. | Veronica ExplainsEnglish8·23 days agoWhat issue are you having, and what GPU & Driver are you using?
Best of luck! :D
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Chat@beehaw.org•Now that *V for Vendetta* and *Idiocracy* have essentially become documentaries, what other movies do you place in that camp?English3·1 month agoI wouldn’t focus too much on the anachronistic technology, that’s more to keep with the vibe of the original trilogy.
The farming audits, IMO, are pretty directly an analog to what ICE is doing in the US.
There’s definitely some WW2 influence and stylistic choices, if anything that’s to keep the execs willing to fund the thing, but later on you’ll see some more blatant comparisons to our modern situation.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Chat@beehaw.org•Now that *V for Vendetta* and *Idiocracy* have essentially become documentaries, what other movies do you place in that camp?English3·1 month agoI was thinking Mon Mothma’s speech, in particular.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Chat@beehaw.org•Now that *V for Vendetta* and *Idiocracy* have essentially become documentaries, what other movies do you place in that camp?English8·1 month agoSeason 1 is, yes. Season 2 is very much targeting today.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Medicine production in an anarchist societyEnglish16·1 month agoThe guy who heads that gave a fantastic Defcon talk showing it in action.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netOPto Gaming@beehaw.org•How Pajama Sam Made Me A Leftist | Political Breakdown Of A 90s VideogameEnglish13·1 month agoThe first part seems to be for people who are unfamiliar with the games. The political analysis begins at 19 minutes.
The games go into:
- Discussion of monopolies, how they are used to exploit, and how they use state force to maintain their position to prevent competition
- The Carrot character is an anarchist in the first game, who infiltrates the weather factory of the second game to document the exploitation of its workers. He then gives the player a quiz about US economics so that you can infiltrate a board of directors, but when he becomes a member of the board himself, becomes a liberal reformist.
- In the third game, the devs put an easter egg only accessible by editing a config file with an obscure code, which adds police branded riot gear to the marching fascist candy soldiers, in a reference to the 1999 Seattle WTO Protests.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Linux@lemmy.ml•I tried Debian, I tried Fedora for my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro RTX3060: Framerate issues, stuttering in browsers, stuttering in simple 3D programsEnglish2·1 month agoOP, as someone who has a very similarly specced laptop:
Install Linux Mint, do a one click install of the Nvidia driver with the mint GUI driver installer, and then open the application that’s stuttering from your start menu by right clicking on it, and select ‘run with discrete GPU’, which will force it to use your Nvidia card.

ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Gaming@beehaw.org•I'm working on a Sci-fi Point and Click adventure called Hope: A Sky Full of Ghosts. A demo is coming in a few weeks and would love a wishlist if that sounds like you jam.English4·1 month agoI really like the premise, though if I might suggest, y’all might want to tweak that trailer so the intense movie trailer music doesn’t stop abruptly towards the end.
Extremely cool process he discovered, very solarpunk.
