Misdescribe the context and you will misdesign the intervention, reliably and expensively." gemini://adjb.smol.pub/embodied-wisdom-and-research-design [05:20] IsambardPrince "Google spamming us with hardly better codecs about every year is the main reason most laptops don't get good battery life. You go to YouTube without h264ify installed and don't have the latest computer, bye bye battery. [05:20] IsambardPrince On my 2016 laptop they've already been through three codecs in 10 years that it does not have a hardware acceleration profile for on the Iris 540. The solution is to force it to fall back to h264 so the laptop doesn't become the surface of the sun. [05:20] IsambardPrince I don't think people should have to buy a new laptop for over $1,000 every 3 years so Google doesn't hurt their system performance. Especially since on the user's experience, there's been hardly any improvement over h264. [05:20] IsambardPrince They claim codecs like HEVC and AV1 are 25-30% more efficient than h264 from a standpoint of what sort of compression ratio you can realistically get , but they're also several times more computationally expensive, worse if you don't have a hardware acceleration profile for them. [05:20] IsambardPrince I try to stay off YouTube in general because on top of the codec churn, there's also the constant annoying ads, their war against ad blockers and punishment for having ad blockers, and algorithm-recommended slop content that's frankly overtaken real videos. [05:20] IsambardPrince The real problem I've been seeing with web video is when you go to stream "high definition" Netflix or something, and the stream is capped at 1/6th of the data rate of what a DVD player could pull off a DVD. Yes you can make the resolution higher, yes there have been quite a few improvements in codec efficiency, but that doesn't excuse why I see bad artifacting in videos that are "high definition" on Netflix when nothing like that [05:20] IsambardPrince happens with the DVD. [05:20] IsambardPrince The fair bit of damage Google has done to web performance isn't limited to videos. They managed to crank out VP8 as well, which looks worse than the 1992 JPEG standard. Reddit adopted it and now everyone can look at smudgy pictures. [05:20] IsambardPrince When you look at this from a security angle, it's even worse, because a fair bit of the CVEs are in the codecs, and when you spam people with tons of new codecs that aren't very good or not much better than what already existed, the attack surface of the browser expands a lot too. [05:20] IsambardPrince Your 14 hour battery claims probably won't hold water in a few years because Google gotta Google. You'll introduce a new video codec, the Googlebook won't have a hardware profile for it, things fall back to CPU decode, that battery life gets cut by half on a battery that's also been in real world use for a while. [05:20] IsambardPrince It's hard to justify a premium laptop purchase based on "video playback life on battery" statements made by a serial codec offender."

[20:39] IsambardPrince Otherwise you basically only have two window managers that most people are going to use, which are GNOME and KDE. [20:40] IsambardPrince KWin can be broken out and used on its own at least. [20:40] IsambardPrince So you actually can write your own desktop environment sans window manager, and use KWin.

[20:41] IsambardPrince Implementing windowing functionality and nothing else is very cheap. [20:41] IsambardPrince You get window managers using 300-400 MB of RAM when you want things like compositing. [20:41] IsambardPrince And compositing isn't always desirable obviously. [20:42] IsambardPrince Under resource constraints, that could be nearly half the RAM in the system, like it was on that computer. [20:42] MinceR last time i checked, kwin's compositor ignored the root window unless you also ran plasma [20:42] IsambardPrince You can't use a 300 MB window manager on a 1 GB RAM system. [20:42] IsambardPrince I had 1 GB of RAM on my main laptop until 2016. [20:42] IsambardPrince And a single core CPU. [20:43] IsambardPrince It was actually very usable because the whole OS used about 49 MB of RAM on boot. [20:43] IsambardPrince I stuck with applications that were built around single core CPUs.

[22:00] IsambardPrince I still have 15 lbs of it. Thinking I should mix in a couple pounds every litter change with the good stuff. [22:00] IsambardPrince That way it is being used but too dilute to cause a cloud. [22:07] IsambardPrince I got some unexpected wind in my sails this week. A class action settlement check. It was enough to pay off some AmEx credit card debt I was carrying (at 0%) for food I bought before I got approved for food stamps a few months ago. [22:07] IsambardPrince I've been chipping away at this and it's about gone. [22:10] IsambardPrince MinceR, I can't remember what comedian was making fun of elections, maybe Bill Maher. [22:10] IsambardPrince He said that the Republican voters and Democratic voters were too evenly matched to win an election outright. [22:11] IsambardPrince So the country swings wildly based on whatever mood the "undecideds" are in on election day. [22:11] IsambardPrince He said "We have the fate of the country hanging in the balance on the people who can't decide what they want until they're sitting in front of you at the drive-thru window." [22:12] IsambardPrince And what they want changes every couple years. [22:12] IsambardPrince Because they're not capable of having fully formed opinions apparently. [22:13] IsambardPrince So in a way, they're scarier than the fascists. Because at least the fascists are predictable. [22:13] IsambardPrince The undecideds will gladly vote for Obama because they just lost their job because of Bush and they have no healthcare and this guy says they'll have healthcare. [22:14] IsambardPrince Then they'll turn around and vote for the TEA Party and Donald Trump because they got another job and they signed up for the healthcare marketplace so nothing's going wrong right now. [22:14] IsambardPrince Then Trump and the TEA Party cause them to become unemployed and tear up the healthcare Marketplace. [22:14] MinceR :> [22:14] IsambardPrince So they get mad and vote for Biden. [22:14] IsambardPrince Then they change their mind again because 4 years was long enough to forget how stupid and violent Trump was and the wrecked economy. [22:15] IsambardPrince And so I don't doubt this election will be a disaster for the Republicans, because we're on the tick-tock cycle with the Undecideds. [22:15] IsambardPrince And I think Trump has made it terrible enough again so fast that they want the Democrats again. [22:15] MinceR do the undecideds even vote in midterms? [22:17] IsambardPrince Yeah, I think they will. I mean, I think this midterm is going to be one of those oddball ones with high turnout because a lot of people are suffering under rampant hyperinflation and Trump just threw 800,000 people off their healthcare in a very hamfisted way just before the election, all at once, and that's just the Marketplace. [22:18] IsambardPrince So between that and $5 a gallon gas and $7 a gallon diesel and the high housing costs and the soaring electric bills because of the data centers, I think people are generally in a foul mood and they realize that Trump has not only made everything worse, he's actively trolling them and saying for the news "I don't care." about their cost of living. [22:19] IsambardPrince He said those 800,000 people that he threw off their healthcare were all fraud, but that's just simply not possible and with an administration that lies about everything even when there's no gain, simply because they enjoy lying, I think they're going to wear out their welcome. They seem to be actively trying to piss people off right before the election. [22:20] IsambardPrince He thought it wouldn't matter because his plan to sabotage voting, but that got thrown out by the Supreme Court. Then they also threw out an attempt to steal a House seat in Missouri. So I think he's overplayed his hand, and authoritarian regimes eventually do overplay their hand.

What's been consistent, even though it's mostly a rubber stamp is they keep saying they won't participate in daylight theft of elections. [22:22] IsambardPrince So now we're left to wonder what the Republican Party's plan to steal the election is. Well, we suspect that he might send the Trump Gestapo (ICE) out to intimidate voters. [22:22] IsambardPrince He's turned them into the United States Police Force from Escape From New York. [22:24] IsambardPrince Like I said, the Pig Worshippers like my mom don't ever remember being the victims of police misconduct. Like when Brian Culley her second husband beat the shit out of her and she called 911, and the Huntington Indiana Police threatened to arrest her. [22:24] IsambardPrince She was always wearing pancake makeup and telling people she fell down the stairs because she was too afraid to call 911 and ask for help. [22:24] IsambardPrince After that incident she never did call 911 again, ever. [22:24] IsambardPrince But she tells me my distrust of the police is an "attitude problem".

[23:07] IsambardPrince He said they had to shut down the meat, deli, and produce departments.A [23:08] IsambardPrince And he hopes that they get everything back up on Saturday. [23:08] IsambardPrince I said it reminded me of Ronald Reagan joking about the ten year wait list to buy a car in the Soviet Union.
