There's a protest coming up for this too (as well as to remember those killed and injured):

On Tuesday, October 22 join the active transportation community to remember those people using active transportation who have been killed or badly injured on Ottawa's roads in the past several weeks, and to protest Queen's Park's anti-cyclist proposed bike lane law. Meet on the north side of City Hall at 110 Laurier Avenue West at 5 pm for a rally and then protest ride.

The next onFOSS gaming event will take place Saturday 27 July starting at 12:00 UTC. This event features open-source games only. Come join us if you can!

This time, we'll play AssaultCube, Yorg, FTEQW, Warzone2100, Lix, and SuperTuxKart with one more game picked by the community.

It's in the announcement for Plasma 6.1, see https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.1.0/

To enable it, you need to use the Brightness & Colour widget. See also the merge request for this: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4093

I guess the documentation is a bit lagging still! I don't know about a list of compatible keyboards, but I suppose you can just try it out to see if it works! 😁

I managed to fit an entire Matrix Synapse server on one of those. It works surprisingly well! You will need a domain for it though.

[-] DeathByDenim@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Yes, but you have to enable the checkbox "Increase maximum volume" in the audio widget on the taskbar panel.

[-] DeathByDenim@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, tricky! You might be able to do something similar to getting native messaging extensions to work on Flatpakked Firefox as described here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621763#c5

Hmm, no sorry. All I can think of is that maybe Kdenlive itself is a flatpak version in which case it wouldn't be allowed to run external programs like Glaxnimate (or Pinta). I guess in that case it requires some magic with Flatpak overrides.

[-] DeathByDenim@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Oh, I see what you mean about the Glaxnimate Flatpak. I just tried it out.

You can get it to work, but it's a bit of a hack. You first need to create a script containing:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/flatpak run org.mattbas.Glaxnimate $@

Let's call it glax or something like that. Then make it executable:

chmod +x glax

Then in Kdenlive, go to Settings -> Configure Kdenlive -> Environment -> Standard Applications, change the one for editing animation to point to that script. Should work now. At least, it did for me!

And yeah, shame about the audio processing.

[-] DeathByDenim@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I've been using Glaxnimate which integrates with Kdenlive. It's a tool for animating SVG elements. It's a bit clunky I find but it's nice in that you can have shapes and text follow animation path with different time curves. It can be used directly from Kdenlive which is pretty cool.

As for other tips, one I use a lot is Timeline Preview Rendering. If you have a whole pile of effects, playing in the project monitor can become very choppy. With the prerendering, you can just render that section and it will play smooth while still allowing you do edit the audio.

Finally, for getting the footage from clips, I use I and O to set the start and end of a part of the clip I want and then with Ctrl+I I can create a zone that shows up in the Project bin. I use that a lot to get the fragments I want first and then build the fill timeline later.

Depends on which side of the exhaust you are on.

[-] DeathByDenim@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I have an AKASO Brave 7LE. I just take out the SD card and put it in an USB reader that I plug into my home server to move the videos. Then I just use my desktop for editing with Kdenlive which has a defish filter for getting rid of the camera distortion these actioncams have.

It's also possible to connect to the camera through WiFi, but it's much slower than using the SD card reader.

Regarding firmware updates, I don't think AKASO is really into that but at some point I had an issue and support sent me a file that you just put on the SD card and the camera does the rest.

I can definitely recommend FTL: Faster Than Light. I still play it after many years in the exact same way you describe, that is short sessions. t's all based on battles that last minutes at most while part of an overall campaign. You can quit anytime, even during battle, and it will just saw the state. You can pause during battle to think as well.

it also has simple rules but with a lot of depth. You upgrade your ship from time to time and also get new weapons or defences. It actually sounds like a perfect fit for what you want. It's cheap too.
