Using bmp has the same bottleneck as png, which is the write speed of the hard drive

I'm doing this to upscale and interpolate the video and I want the best quality possible, since the source is using h.264 and I'm exporting to AV1. I was using jpeg with qscale:v 0 and 100% quality but you could still see compression artifacts, which is why I want to use a lossless format now. The upscaling and interpolation also takes quite a lot of time, so I'm also trying to minimize the time each step takes, if possible, since I'll be doing this with multiple videos and I'll probably use these scripts I made in the future a few more times.

Yeah, that's the probably the case for those. I looked at CPU usage when using webp and one CPU core was always at 100%. Even tough it seems to not be able to use multiple cores, that's still really slow, no? Or is that normal?

Also, my CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600, just to get an idea of what performance would be expected.

h.264 (the compression algorithm the video uses) and jpeg are entirely different, so it does have to re-encode

I think that advice is already coming too late

You should be able to control every music streaming app from the desktop notification if you use KDE Connect. I use Tidal nowadays, which isn't open source but it's a very good streaming service. It normally costs 11€/month but the family plan is 17€/month for up to 6 people. Even if you only have 2 people in the plan it's a lot cheaper than the individual plan or Spotify.

But I'd recommend the unofficial one from flathub. The official one has stopped receiving updates in 2022 in favour of the web app, which is what the unofficial one is.

This meme doesn't make sense when the "mixtape" at the bottom is missing 😭

I use Grocy for the shopping list feature. It has a lot more functionality tho.

By default?

Have you ever tried just using Markdown?

When I started studying IT at a Berufskolleg (German word, literal transaltion would be something like job college or job school), we started learning about databases by using Access. We were all so happy when we were done with that and just used SQL. I fucking hate Access.

I feel you on that first part, I always use Markdown nowadays when I don't have to use Word (or LibreOffice Writer in my case), I even use Marp to make presentations with Markdown. Since there's no dragging stuff around and eyeballing if it's actually coherent, it's much quicker, the layout is always perfect and changing the layout doesn't fuck up the entire slide/document.

What did they do?

How did you know their age?

I like how there seems to be more and more alternatives to MS Office, even from big companies like Google. Best case scenario, this could lead to companies actually starting to use an open format, like ODF, so that all these different office applications can be used without causing issues in the file and that would pave the way for open source alternatives, like LibreOffice or OnlyOffice, to become viable alternatives for a lot more people and companies. Do Google Docs and Proton Drive use/support ODF? I'm pretty sure MS Office supports it.

I've added some alternatives to subreddits but I also saw that my Lemmy communities aren't categorized yet. Is there a way for me to do that or do you have to do that?

It's not like you can stop people from creating the same community again. Just join the one with the most active users. It's also not like this isn't happening on Reddit too, the subreddits there just have slightly different names instead of the same one on a different instance.

But I'm sure it's gonna get better if the FDP keeps taking away funds to use them for autobahns

Yeah, I had to take a SEV for a while too because there was construction on the train tracks and I came late every single day because apparently nobody at DB thought that 2 full trains (and with full I mean that people always had to stand because there weren't enough seats) couldn't just fit into one bus. That bus was always completely full (people standing in the middle up to the front door) and a lot of people still just wouldn't fit in.
