I find it funny how badly designed 2011 MacBookPros were, I'm cross-compiling cups for my PowerPC machine now and as there is no Void binary repo for PowerPC it involves building a lot of stuff from source, right now it's building LLVM so it can truly utilize 100% CPU. And guess what? Its running off the battery! 🤯
They've put a CPU in this thing that 85W power supply can't sustain! And I'm not using the discrete GPU now — because it's fried, theoretically it could be even worse than that!

@neural_meduza Уже есть — т.н. фабрика троллей 😆

@GNUxeava Just as stupid as defining it with not smoking or not drinking, but people do even that 😩

@GNUxeava
> What's with the hype around ARM computers?
They have smaller FOOTprint 😏

@mynameistillian Yes, but at the same time blood is pronounced like blʌd 🤣
English ain't easy 🤪

@lain This bird looks a little blurred 🤓

@lz Exactly!
And you get skin cancer if your skin is pale 😱

@kirby
Why, isn't it kinda cool? I even started thinking of gluing an old Intel CPU to my ARM laptop 🤭

@kravietz Not only that, Russia has been using incidentary munitions not dissimilar to the infamous white phosphorus since the very beginning — and yet, this still gets media attention, that Russia will be forced to start using something as a reaction to something new being given to Ukraine. I'm shocked 🤦
People have been fed this bullshit numerous times already and yet they keep buying it, what's next then, another round of nuclear blackmail?

@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.
