@BuboScandiacus It doesn't slow it down, but it might be because it's a very small video & the computer is good. The computer has video decoding hardware for the video format I'm using, so that might be reducing resource usage more. The wallpaper also supports automatically pausing the video under certain conditions to free resources, such as low battery or a window being fullscreen. I haven't tried this on a worse computer. It should only slow down the computer if it uses the CPU to decode the video, which happens if your graphics hardware doesn't support the format, or if the file is large & consumes alot of memory. I transcoded the video to AV1 because my graphics card can understand that format & because videos in that format have a very small file size. It's probably best to try out different things & see which one slows down your computer the least.

@blinfabian @Fizz You have to build it yourself this way though :(
Maybe it's distro dependant. I'm using Fedora & Neon, & I don't see this in "Get New" or Discover on either one.

@blinfabian @Fizz This doesn't show up for me, only on the store.kde.org website. "Get New" is always so inconsistent :(
Discover doesn't show it either. Here it is on the KDE store.

@checksout I missed this!
I got the split panel & side bar by just making two more panels. Plasma lets you add extra panels & put them on whichever side of the screen you want. For the two bottom panels I had to manually adjust their sizes so they would only fill the left half or the right half of the bottom. You can probably do this with other desktops that have panels or if you only have a window manager & a bar there's probably a way to duplicate that bar. I think I've seen similar things done with Waybar but I don't know if it's really two bars or if it's just visual. I'm only familiar with Plasma so I have no idea how to do this with anything else.

@unixporn@lemmy.world @unixporn@lemmy.ml @unixporn@lemmy.sdf.org @unixporn@programming.dev This is still a work in progress💔
I keep making very small changes. Panon now only goes through each color once & my terminal now has no window borders or a menu bar, it's just a sheet of glass. I wish I could make my terminal have rounded corners, but that seems like an every window or no window thing. I have also discovered Panel Colorizer & I might need to mess with it & see if I can make something cool out of it.

@Deebster I know that Mastodon does weird stuff to videos, but I'm not sure why the images won't work.

@Deebster If the background is Pokemon, it's from the work in progress post & not this one.

@krimson Actually it looks like it went to almost 40% when recording this video, which I did with Spectacle. Spectacle isn't very good at videos.

[–] jackemled@furry.engineer 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

@krimson It's usually at around 1% unless I do anything, then it might go to 4%. If I record a video with Spectacle it goes up to 11%, but with OBS it only goes to 6%. It only goes up to 75% when doing something very intensive like transcoding a video. I've never managed to get it to 100% & I think it thermal throttles before it can. It's a Ryzen 7700.

@f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4 View the original post on furry.engineer. I couldn't get the attachments to federate to any Lemmy servers properly.

@Deebster There are two pictures too. I know this is just one of those small differences between ActivityPub servers, but I thought there was some workaround I could do, I just forgot what it was.
