If I’ve blocked you it’s because you’ve made me uncomfortable in more than one reply to my posts or created a “So you hate waffles?” situation. Follow fishers very unwelcome.

If you try to roleplay with me I will fucking microwave you with my mind. Please also do not flirt with me, especially if I do not know you.

I’m an adult so I might sometimes talk about adults only topics. I will add a content warning when my post contains anything nsfw.

  • @BuboScandiacus I don’t know about a command that can do that, but usually the manufacturer will have that information. Search the video decoding capabilities of your GPU’s chipset. Mine is an Acer Predator Bifrost with an AMD Radeon 7600 chipset, so I search “Radeon 7600 video decoding”. Usually your fetch program can tell you what your graphics card is, but sometimes it can’t tell. Mine can’t tell what exactly my graphics card is, but I can still find out by reading what it says on the graphics card itself or the box it came in.



  • @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.
