@gabboman @k software decoding AV1 works perfectly fine and is not more performance intensive than x265

And so does x265. That shouldn't mean we should never improve web video, x264 sucks and I want it to go away.

Firefox embeds dav1d nowadays, a hilariously fast decoder. If a ten year old Mac can decode a 1080p stream without any issue, I consider it fine.

Youtube already mostly plays VP9. Decoding speed is similar.

@privateger @gabboman @k Cool, we're also pro-AV1

But not offering h264 on older devices makes them suffer battery-wise

@natty @privateger @gabboman older devices?
That run Discord?

In my opinion, at that point, when you are compromising 95 to 98% of the user base for battery life on 10 plus year old devices, I don't know. That doesn't seem logical to me.

@k @privateger @gabboman Try doing something while having a full HD AV1 video playing on a ~2016-2018 low-midrange laptop or phone on running (95% of the time) Windows in case of PCs

What is a low-meat range laptop from 2016? My thinkpad from 2017 that has an i7? My old Nokia fucking 7.2? I don't know. I'm fairly confident that they would play AV1 fairly well while doing whatever?

@natty @k @privateger @gabboman my t495 with 3500U really struggles with multitasking whenever doing anything more than h264 so yeah

@k @privateger @natty @gabboman h264 should be considered to be phased out in at least 2035
