@yukiame Lots of zoomers can't tell time using "round clock" (I think, that's the way they call it, at least in Russian) at all, so she isn't half bad 😂

The day has finally come! We have shitposts on Gemini 😁

@LaoBan Sensible thing to do, considering that AV1 is relatively new and not supported in all browsers, most notably Safari, and on all devices.
I'm also reluctant to use it as it was created by Google-controlled Alliance for Open Media, I do my best to avoid WebP, WebM, VP9 and other Google shit.
Implementation is also flaky — I've tried ffmpeg to encode short video to AV1, it took 5 mins utilizing 100% CPU with a few kilobyte compression gains over H264 🤷
@thor

@kevinrothrock He had been doing it voluntarily, now he's forced — see? World of difference 🤪

@thor As for YouTube — having 4k is amazing, but YT re-encodes it to lower resolutions automatically. If I want a general idea what channel is about, I'd probably pick a lower resolution stream, again, not because I'm on limited data plan — I have a 100Mbps connection, but I'm not utilizing that 100% just because I can, it's pointless.
Like I said, there are always exceptions, some content might not make sense in lower resolution.

@thor That was precisely my point, it's not about having better screen, of course I do, I'm not limited by hardware, it's about having incentive to watch it in higher resolution or with better sound quality. You don't send uncompressed photos to your friends over IM, you use JPEG — if they want the higher quality higher resolution version, they'll ask you for it. Same with social media — it's for previews, you can provide a link to 4k version of course, 4k previews are a waste 🤷

@thor Also kinda pointless. 720p is more than enough to get the general idea about what video is about, if I re-encode outtake of some video for Fedi I go with 720p or lower. I know, even phones are capable of 4k nowadays, but it's still a 6" screen, no one watches videos from Fedi on TV so it would be just a waste of traffic for everyone.
There might be exceptions of course.

@a1ba All of my computers are so old that only one of them is capable of USB 3.0 — makes my life a lot easier 😁
Can't say the same about Bluetooth LE a lot of such mice aren't backward-compatible, had to replace wireless card in one of my laptops to use them 😩

@yukiame Where's the cat supposed to be eating that salad? Wait, are you the cat? 🙀

@lore True, from what I've seen it's very barebones and might seem clunky to those used to using Final Cut or Premiere.

@lore Try Blender too, it has basic video editing capabilities now, not sure if it's capable of utilizing GPU though, never used it myself.

@lore Just encoding video — yeah, probably true, maybe it even has a dedicated co-processor for that, not sure what the quality would be, usually it's worse than "software" CPU-based encoding.
For general-purpose computational tasks like applying FX, I'm not so sure MacMini is up to this TBH 🤷

@lore So basically it's just re-encoding video, yes — that's a lot! Indeed, it doesn't look like GPU is even involved.

@lore I wouldn't even dare do 4k 60fps video editing not on workstation-class hardware 😅
5 min doesn't seem too bad 🤷

@xmoo Getting too qute? 😏

@oku_yama_old «Знаете, я и сам своего рода феминист и придерживаюсь феминистических взглядов» 🤣
@neural_meduza

@mjdxp @ipg With Fedi it's never the case: there are all sorts of weird people from all around the globe: US, Europe and Asia — we've got you covered. You can stay unemployed in any timezone 😁

@catraxx @Houl "Deal with it" 😎

@thor That also wasn't to be unexpected: they have ad budget and a huge one, they can pay devs for those apps, I still don't think it's about "People choosing Facebook", they just go the shortest route. Some company might have invested in Masto and that would attract a lot of people, would we like it? Probably not. If we want people to universally value privacy and non-commercialization, of course it won't happen overnight like that, just because Twitter went to shit 🤷
