I know that’s not a ready to use solution but blender has a very powerful python API which should allow you to automate everything including doing calls to a AI backend of your choice if needed.

What if the big money makers behind Google are the same fascist, that are backing Trump now? 🤯


Please, someone make a movie out of it!
Man this Story hat so many plot twists in it…
Takeaway for the Story is: If you don’t have a backup of your file and you don’t monitor the backup process and you don’t tested that your backup can actually be restored and you don’t have a redundancy backup… Than yours file isn’t saved.


The difference between AI and Coder:
The Coder fixes it’s errors. AI is just pretending everything would just run fine.
Out of context, but this video showing the amount of freshwater on the planet in perspective was eye opening for me… I see water availability different since.
I feel like the LLM guy should be the psycho doctor doing unethical experience with the clinic patients…
You can’t know it, but I am German 😅
Man I came to comment I had the same idea… Just to find out someone else has implemented it again…
But that’s cool. I still not fully understand what this Flohmarkt is. Is it just a social platform designed to share things you want to sell instead of pictures of your food?
I should really take a deeper look into it.


I thought it stood for “Kool Desktop Environment”


Sony has committed official drivers for PS5 controller under Linux. The experience with it is really plug-and-play… just that you don’t plug it in.
Some people don’t like the layout others prefer it. I use it myself on my Linux computer. So I wanted to name this option here.


Yes they probably will.
But my point would be that with AP being W3C and not management by meta or a different company the ecosystem of it can survive.
And too be fair until recently I still used XMPP so it was never dead. I think it was just that almost no one ever heard about it before Google used it and also almost no one really cared about it while Google used it. So the resulting consequence was that once Google dropped off completely it went back to no one really using it (like it was before).
AP already having a decent user base (some million active users, official accounts and instances of big institutions like the EU commission e.g.) even without threads and a big eco system(very diverse platforms and projects), there is no need for any platform to adapt to anything coming from meta. Things are good (enough) how they are currently.
It’s not that we need to compete or couldn’t exist without Meta.


Yes this EEE fear exists but I think it’s unreasonable in my eyes. AP being managed by W3C is one reason for it.
Sure Meta will probably extend AP for their own use but it’s not that they can simply decide that the new feature that they introduced and is at first only working on their platform is the standard from now.
I definitely agree that Nostr is something to keep an eye on but for me that’s more about to see if there is stuff that works and can be introduced in AP as well. Because of all the arguments above I don’t think we should all switch to Nostr now.


But amount of users is actually more a product of marketing than any technical protocol so I don’t really see that point either. Also I don’t see that being true, especially if you count in all the threads users.
My point of it being a W3C standard is more that it is a protocol that is in somewhat responsible hands. When using a protocol that was developed by and only for one (commercial) application in minds other players are always one step behind.
Mastodon (or threads) as the main platforms that implement AP don’t have any more influence on the protocol than any other platform as well.


but it’s been a W3C standard for a long time, and is still very niche.
Is it really? I mean there are already many completely independent platforms built on it (Lemmy, Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed… To only name a few)
Plus recently existing platforms changing to use AP like Flipboard for example or threads (even if nobody is happy about the last 😅)
Additionally AP protocol can be adapted and extended over time if it’s really needed. That would also be an option in the long run.


I don’t get the first point. Do you think having variety in clients is a bad thing or do you think the variety in clients is not big enough and actually what does this have to do with the protocol?
The other points do appear that strong to me if we talk about developing a service and more about people who don’t want to host or do anything themselves but still want to have full control… Actually I think the better moderation structure that comes with AP is a plus point. I want a free web and not total anarchy in which the loudest wins.
Biggest strength of AP in my eyes is that it’s a W3C standard. AT was developed by a company to fulfill that company’s goal.
Can you give a more detailed explanation why Activitypup is garbage? And why AT should be any better?


Also the Dutch…
My best advice is:
Don’t listen too much about what strangers on the Internet say you should do or use.
Non of us has statistics to pull from. Mostly it’s individual experience mixed with personal preferences. All that could be different for someone else. E.g. some people will have problems with Nvidia, other with AMD.
Stick to the basic and add fancy stuff later on.
Don’t pick a distribution because of the Desktop environment. Or because someone said it has a nifty feature. People create new distros all the time just for fun and not because there would be a real reason for it. Looking on the release cycle would probably be the most basic decision you should take. Read about the differences between “rolling release” and “long time support” and decide base on you personal use case.
Have a backup strategy
This is nothing limited to Linux but since you are planing to switch your habits, there is a high possibility you will mess up at some point. Best would be you try to stimulate the worst case and look if you would be able to setup your system in a VM or something.
Don’t be afraid to try things out
Especially when you know that your backup is working. There is not much you can lose. Don’t be afraid of using Arch Linux e.g. just because someone on the Internet said it’s just for pros or something.
So this last one is maybe just the consequences of all the above. But yeah I guess that’s all I could say for now 😅
I think this libcudnn is a Nvidia CUDA thing. I guess you have checked that the correct CUDA libs are installed and blended has permission and knows where to look for them?
First start for learning blender Python API would be it’s documentation: https://docs.blender.org/api/current/index.html
In general you can skip anything that you can do on the user interface. But video editing is just a very small part of this and if you don’t have any programming experience yet this could be overkill for what you are looking for.
Perhaps someone had the same problems like you before and implemented something. Maybe searching explicitly for blender video editing automation or Python API will give you some results.
