jeremycherfas Good morning IndieWeb

#
[fluffy] From that wmmna interview, a pet peeve: “if you ask them “can you design a website for 3 watts an hour?” Nobody can answer that direct question.”
#
[fluffy] Of course nobody can answer that question. “Watts per hour” is a meaningless unit of measure.
#
[fluffy] Watts are already a rate of consumption.
#
bekomotion[m] It's also at least 1.21 gigawatts.
#
aaronpk ... isn't a watt already defined as an amount of energy over time?
#
bekomotion[m] 😆
#
[fluffy] Yes.
#
[fluffy] A lot of people make that mistake though and talk about an incandescent bulb using more “watts per hour” than an LED bulb and it really annoys me.
#
[fluffy] Even if we interpret it how he probably meant it as a website that only uses 3 watts while it’s being accessed or viewed, what does that mean? Every browser reacts differently, every CPU does too.
#
[fluffy] Load up my website’s home page in safari and it chews a LOT of energy because of a bug in its CSS animations implementation.

#
[fluffy] Then later it talks about data requirements as a 1:1 with power consumption, but simply transferring data isn’t the only thing happening when viewing a webpage.
#
[fluffy] Bitcoin mining has a fairly low transfer rate but it chews up way more energy than watching YouTube.
#
[schmarty] well this has been bothering me for a few days: https://martymcgui.re/2019/09/04/110141/
#
Loqi [Marty McGuire] Facebook coming through with some pretty gross new UI changes, now adding little badge icons next to some people’s names indicating that they are a “Conversation Starter”, “Visual Storyteller”, and possibly others. Really raises some quest... https://res.cloudinary.com/schmarty/image/fetch/w_960,c_fill/https://media.martymcgui.re/00/c8/1f/13/87185600ecafc6f5a5615151489dfc97448a670060a97917a763b06e.png
#
[schmarty] Camp Improv Utopia East was last week and like most improv events we organize and collect photos, video, and anecdotes purely via a private FB group.
#
[schmarty] so i have been Very On Facebook the last few days.
#
aaronpk wow as if facebook wasn't gamified enough already

[schmarty] haha some of the replies on my FB syndication copy are gold: https://media.martymcgui.re/a5/bb/38/2c/79af62bf606d5598220f2005f3495ce600d098c2a2b058e37ac86356.png

[schmarty] "The badges should be for things like 'Never shared an article that was obviously fake'..." "Has actually read the article" "Avoided the quiz designed to phish your personal info"
