Combining gifs into one video or bigger gif is difficult because gifs can have different speeds/fps. Even each frame in a gif can have a different duration.<br/><br/>Sofware like PixiEditor and Pencil can import gifs but they basically separate the gif into its individual frames and play it back based on the project&#39;s fps/speed. I&#39;d have to do a lot of editing after import to remedy this.<br/><br/>Natron is/was by far the most flexible approach as it can import gifs (thanks to ffmpeg-based import) and it has all the other tools for adding effects. However, I find it to be glitchy with gifs and there&#39;s not really anyone developing it atm so I can&#39;t rely on it in the future.<br/><br/>Friction is also another contender but it currently doesn&#39;t support transparent gifs (bug report <a href="https://github.com/friction2d/friction/issues/697">https://github.com/friction2d/friction/issues/697</a> ).<br/><br/>Kdenlive can do this but I hate using it.<br/><br/>So, is there other open source linux-compatible software that I can use to make gif collages that respect the fps of each gif? 2026-03-24T19:42:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsguft5eky4xcjhkh7823yjfsj6pd2pmyqnuu89q58xrvtw9fmp8agzyzqu97mkctj2h0zhu873lyry2sutkd555wcvknkzvhccndmtdydcw6n6yw2 Was doing some basic maths to convert rgb curves from <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1jxdd5znhu8yxya62ekeaqtlnktay839aam378r46pgedkthggpyqletxs3" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>GIMP</span> (<span class="italic">npub1jxd…txs3</span>)</a></span> to <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1k5u9jf409swsu25vufk3dhsdzjt7e39ekjnkjwau0ntgqej7xt9qhqhg3t" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Blender 🔶</span> (<span class="italic">npub1k5u…hg3t</span>)</a></span> and wish I had a real calculator so that I didn&#39;t have to keep switching windows and remembered that I had an M&amp;M&#39;s calculator as a kid.

A surprising number use it and like it. I had a similar realisation in 2020 when NFTs became a thing and was surprised at how many folks adopted them. One line of reasoning I heard, which I can mostly agree with, is that for years - decades for some - digital art had been undervalued and NFTs provided recognition and an actual livable income. It&#39;s hard to argue with that when the alternative is obscurity and fighting for those rare £1000-fee exhibitions.<br/><br/>And right now I feel the &#34;opportunities&#34; attached to AI are doing the same.<br/><br/>I honestly wish the alternatives were as lucrative. And suggesting that I/we start a Patreon, Ko-fi etc at this point feels condescending. It&#39;s a tonne more work for comparatively little gain.<br/><br/>I&#39;m still against AI (and NFTs for that matter) but, y&#39;all, I would like $15,000 please. 2026-02-12T12:58:21Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgygva46w6gzrpgpv20xjw986vqhka526rk5skppegh22jl3hejygzyzqu97mkctj2h0zhu873lyry2sutkd555wcvknkzvhccndmtdydcw3gqhaf Myself and many other live coders were recently contacted about a casting call looking for a &#34;Code DJ&#34; to help promote Claude AI in an ad. The fee is a whopping $15,000! I thanked them for approaching me for consideration but ultimately declined, stating my dislike of AI. I imagined how I&#39;d feel watching youtube and then suddenly seeing myself on an ad for Claude and it gave me the ick.<br/><br/>With that said I&#39;m not gonna judge the person who does it. They&#39;re obviously gonna find a &#34;Code DJ&#34; for this and I hope it&#39;s someone already engaged with live coding as it&#39;s a life-changing amount of money, especially for those of us who make our living through art and music and don&#39;t have second jobs that we can rely on for our baseline income. To put it in perspective my earnings last year were less than the fee they&#39;re offering, so I really had to think hard about it before I declined. I think I&#39;ll be ok overall but, maaaan, $15k sure does sound sweet right about now... btw you should hire me for your artwork and music things. 2026-02-12T12:57:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst52dywaapdyy8hvdelgerle5ppdsfwnqwpy3grfpcw4h7m7hfjvqzyzqu97mkctj2h0zhu873lyry2sutkd555wcvknkzvhccndmtdydcwyvqlgp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyqf4acrelu42ehy7qs0flmvg4z9yhn4eg5rpym3ut76w50pg6uusfdrtls'>nevent1q…rtls</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>thanks, I think 😅 I made a more glitch but alsmo more legible font back in 2010 <a href="https://www.hellocatfood.com/dataface/">https://www.hellocatfood.com/dataface/</a> (derived from this video <a href="https://www.hellocatfood.com/i-am-sitting-in-a-room/">https://www.hellocatfood.com/i-am-sitting-in-a-room/</a> ) <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1xselj43f4mq6e4tmadr6ex9s2xfdp34wqupn27n2ufd6clv3mqkqhflgk3" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>wakest likes your bugs ⁂</span> (<span class="italic">npub1xse…lgk3</span>)</a></span> 2026-02-02T20:55:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg863ff5e2tsyj08dpvthljqar085dawf5lr3a04s05m08ck3ls2szyzqu97mkctj2h0zhu873lyry2sutkd555wcvknkzvhccndmtdydcw6d7qq3 This simplified font is horrible.<br/><br/>I love it.<br/><br/>#typography #graphicdesign #glitchart<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://post.lurk.org/system/media_attachments/files/115/899/732/487/857/499/original/66a4e5bf8cf8d756.mp4"></video><br/> 2026-01-15T15:10:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8y2scwzzm6gr2l5qt9ml559xcd7nx9cvav62m8s0xfsndegps7aszyzqu97mkctj2h0zhu873lyry2sutkd555wcvknkzvhccndmtdydcwcpevmr The instruction manual for the MPC Live II.
