I like my websites RAW, they're not going to spy on me with those cascading styles and I do not want anything to interpret HTML for me, I will interpret it according to myself and not according to how some corporation wants. Wake up sheeple! /s

That doesn't work even as a hyperbole. I literally just opened an Excel spreadsheet with 51192 rows (I had Outlook already open) and those two programs still only take 417 MB of RAM combined. Meanwhile Firefox is at 2.5 GB. Yes, my total RAM currently used is 13.8 GB but I have 64 GB of RAM installed and you should know that generally the more RAM you have, the more of it gets utilized by the system (this is true for all modern OS, not just Windows) which is a good thing, because it means better performance, since you can cache more things in RAM that would otherwise needed to be read from disk. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. So even if one computer uses 16 GB of RAM for some relatively simple tasks, it doesn't necessarily mean it wouldn't run or grind to a halt on a system with less RAM.

All those movies will be lost in time, like tears in rain...

I have a perfectly functioning PC (that will very likely be still perfectly usable by 2025) that cannot be upgraded to Win 11 because MS has for some strange reason put quite harsh but completely artificial hardware requirements on W11 that only CPUs manufactured in the last 3-4 years meet. And before you say "You can switch to Linux", no I can't. Not with the software I use for work. And then there's gaming of course...

(Now, I bought a new PC recently, so I'm fine for the foreseeable future but not everyone can either afford it or simply feels the need to upgrade their computer)

Have you ever had a dream that you, you had, your, you could, you’ll do, you wants, you could do so, you’ll do, you could, you want, you want him to do you so much you could do anything?

Day 147: They still haven't noticed.

I mean, I might have considered paying for YT premium if I thought it offered some value (other than disabling ads) but I won't sure as hell pay for anything that any company is trying to blackmail me into.

There are obviously also extensions/userscripts that do that for you and convert all shorts into regular videos.

Yep, the trend already started.

France is bacon.

I mean, everything else works, even other videos on the very same website. I'm now at work on my phone and it doesn't work either! It's as if this particular video was blocked in my country or something (which I find absurd but I have no other explanation if other people can play it).

Yesterday was the first time videos actually stopped working for me. I updated uBlock Origin and it's been working again. YouTube can't win this race. (Unless they completely cripple their website and make it only available to logged in verified users or something.)

Do you know what direct link host works fine for you?

Sorry, no idea what you're asking.

I am gonna guess you are on Linux (or Mac?)

Nope, Windows 10, Firefox 119.0. No idea what's happening. I even tried disabling uBlock for that website but that didn't help. Other videos on that site do work, strangely.

Edit: Actually, it doesn't work in any other browser either, it only shows a static thumbnail without an error message in Chrome, Edge and Vivaldi. I would've assumed the video simply got deleted but if it works for other people then it must be something with my network?

Man, those were the times... Borrowing hard drives from friends, burning CDs, sharing lists of who has what...

You're still luckier than me, the video doesn't play for me at all, neither on lemmy, nor on the original website. Firefox tells me "No video with supported format and MIME type found".

What’s a good alternative?

I haven't used any such tool for almost a decade probably and I don't think there's a need to nowadays. Occasionally I run the Windows Disk Cleanup utility to get rid of temp files and Windows Update installation files and that's about it. Cleaning the registry is bullshit anyway that does more harm than good (doesn't speed up anything certainly).

Well fuck you for making me feel old.

Seems you didn't get my point:

Says the diagram in the OP, the EM spectrum of a 5800K star, which clearly shows a peak within the visible spectrum in the blue band, and a significant (25% or so) drop off by the time it gets to the red band. Those aren’t relatively equal.

Then show me an EM spectrum of this mythical "white light" temperature. No matter what temperature you choose, they all have different drop-offs at different frequencies, look again at this graph I linked to before:

The function isn't even symmetrical, so even if you chose one with the peak in the very middle of the visible spectrum, you'd still get different drop-offs in the blue band and in the red band. So how do you choose which temperature is this perfect white? I'll tell you how you did, you just chose one that looked white to you. You don't like 5800K because it looks blue to you. But it only looks blue in certain context! And there's more, did you know that at lower luminance level, your neutral white will seem more blue?.

Additionally, you don't need the full continuous spectrum to produce the "same" white. You can just combine single RGB wavelengths to get white for example. In fact, that's exactly what we're talking about as we're presumably both looking at the image on RGB screens. But you run into the same problem, because there's no single definition of what exact wavelength red, green or blue is, nor what their relative power should be to produce "neutral" white. But of course this "RGB white" only looks white to humans, some animals would see a different color from the full spectral white.

I am talking about what color it is

But color is perception and only that. You can talk about temperatures and wavelengths but from a physics point of view they're just that - temperatures and wavelengths, not colors! When you go shopping for a laser, you buy a 450 nm or 473 nm or 488 nm laser. You don't buy "blue laser" because all these three numbers are "blue".

Color (American English) or colour (Commonwealth English) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum. Though color is not an inherent property of matter, color perception is related to an object's light absorption, reflection, emission spectra and interference.

(...)

Most light sources emit light at many different wavelengths; a source's spectrum is a distribution giving its intensity at each wavelength. Although the spectrum of light arriving at the eye from a given direction determines the color sensation in that direction, there are many more possible spectral combinations than color sensations. In fact, one may formally define a color as a class of spectra that give rise to the same color sensation, although such classes would vary widely among different species, and to a lesser extent among individuals within the same species. In each such class, the members are called metamers of the color in question. This effect can be visualized by comparing the light sources' spectral power distributions and the resulting colors.
