@Ignacio@kbin.social

Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.

America is a continent and Americans are people from that continent (Canadians, Usonians, Mexicans, Cubans, Argentinians, Brazilians...)

Lemmy is not immune to trolls, bad fait actors or propaganda - in fact, despite how bad reddit is, a lot of Lemmy instances are worse

I’m done, I’ve been banned for expressing a different opinion (without insulting or personally attacking anyone), I’ve been accused of evading a ban with multiple accounts (this is my only account I’ve ever had on any lemmy instance), I’ve had people selectively ignore my comments and accuse me of things which I never...

Here are some small pieces of advice for you, and anyone else who is interested:

  • Block Lemmygrad.ml, because fascists.

  • Block Lemmy.ml, because admins are fascists.

  • Block Hexbear.net, because fascists and trolls.

  • Block any user from Lemmygrad.ml, Hexbear.net, and the usual suspects from Lemmy.ml.

That's it. 90% of toxicity is no more.

I just hope there will be a way to completely block [...] users including their comments.

Remember who the developers are.

You also have mbin, being fedia.io its main instance.

Indeed. In my opinion, it's called lemmy.world but it's too US centric to have the .world domain.

Ignacio,

More global presence. Too US centric to my likings.

On Kbin, browsing through the all tab, great majority of posts are related to US or some topic in the US.

I was called a loser twice on a lemmy.ml post, by a lemmygrad.ml user, after I pointed out I suffer from mental disorders to justify my comments or my behaviour, and the mod (worldnews, not politics) didn't do anything about it. So fuck .ml and fuck tankies/fascists, including developers.

According to this list, ani.social is federated with both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml.

[...] criticise after dinner [...]

It's OK, gulags will always have enough space.

What are your thoughts on reddit mods? How are Lemmy mods like compared to them?

As a person who just left reddit due to being tired of reddit mods’ power tripping, I asked folks here what are their reasons behind migrating here from other forums (most likely reddit too). It seems like none of the folks who answered had complaints on reddit mods. Do folks here not feel the same about reddit mods as I do?...

Admins are a problem? Join a new instance and defederate from the problem instance.

No instance wants to defederate from lemmy.ml, unfortunately.

Why is defederation an option when Limit/Mute exist?

In short i just jumped into the whole Mastodon blocking drama and am somewhat disappointed to see it as childish as reddit’s power mod drama. Accelerated by the fact that a Limit/Mute option exist just fine, i wonder why Block/Defederation is an option at all. It only moves power from the user to admins without anything in...

Although we have a tankie bar and people don't see a problem with that.

Oh, do you want my viewing experience to be worse? Well don't worry, because I'm doing my best so PeerTube has quality content in a weekly basis, while you also have the same content in a monthly basis.

Another good reason not to use reddit: Scalpers.

A bit ago I posted on reddit about how gameboys (handheld console) were getting more expensive and Scalpers were making it worse. For a bit the post maintained in the double digits with the occasional scalper downvoting. I went to bed and the next morning- Boom. I had been spam downvoted by people who’s main activity is on...

That is something that can happen here too, eventually. Not by scalpers, but still.

until those authoritarian propaganda instances are way less prominent

Bad news for you. Unfortunately, miracles don't exist.

This will never be more than a below average Reddit clone.

The code of Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin can be improved, even by anyone. Can the code of Reddit be improved by anyone?

We are better off trying to change sites like Twitter and Reddit from within.

OK, then tell us how we can run for a CEO position of Twitter or Reddit, so we can change them from within. Otherwise, no, we can't.

Reddit made my anxiety flare, I was too addicted to it, and it was way too toxic.

Lemmy can do/be that too, thanks to tankies and shitty moderators, and toxic leftover users from Reddit who bring their toxicity here.

Crazy idea, but what happens if you record audio and video with different ffmpeg processes?

I also tried that with the -map parameter, if that's what you mean. Same outcome.

Also, you mentioned this works better with other software — any idea if those settings are drastically different than your ffmpeg settings?

SimpleScreenRecorder is very basic, but it works well, except for some random dropped frames here and there. No big deal, but sometimes it's noticeable enough for me to feel uneasy. 1920x1080, 60 fps, PulseAudio, H.264 video codec, ultrafast preset (skipping frames) and vorbis audio codec at 128 kbps. Just that.

No, what I meant was to try recording video with ffmpeg, then open another terminal and record audio with ffmpeg. Does the video look ok when recorded like this?

Well, surprisingly, it works. Video runs smoothly, and I can merge the separate audio file to it witk Kdenlive. So, I guess the problem is solved. But I don't understand why it works this way and not with a single command in one terminal.

Depending exclusively on the codecs I use, htop shows a CPU usage of 90-100% or 10-20%. So, I use those that don't require a huge CPU usage. Memory and Swap are not affected, as far as I know. But despite those circumstances, the outcome is the same. Recording with no sound = smoothness, 60 fps, recording with sound = choppiness, 10 fp5s.

Something I also noticed is that it also happens before I open Doom 2, so it doesn't matter whether I'm playing or not. Even with just the terminal and the file manager open.

Ignacio,
Ignacio avatar

Then how is it possible that, recording with no sound, my videos run smoothly, with no choppiness or other caveats?
