That’s frankly an insane amount of protein. I have been getting into weight lifting the past few years and I target 1g protein per kilogram bodyweight. This got me from 165lbs (75kg) to 205lbs (93kg) on a 6’3” (1.9m) frame and it seems to be well supported by numerous scientific studies.

I don’t disagree, but veggies and fibers aren’t macronutrients in our current system of nutrition. Fats, carbs, proteins. Of those three, it’s wiser to prioritize proteins over the rest. This is all I’m saying.

I don’t disagree with that at all. Fiber is massively important.

I suppose what I’m trying to say is, given a constant calorie budget, people would be healthier if they shifted their proportions of calories towards protein and good fats and away from carbohydrates and bad fats. This does not seem like quackery to me, it seems like sound dietary advice.

Focusing on protein and healthy fats over carbohydrates is not quackery.

An insistence on meat/dairy, that’s quackery, but Americans in general eat too many shit tier carbohydrates and fats and not enough protein.

Edit: this is Lemmy. Want fiber and protein? Eat some fuckin’ BEANS.

JPEG sewage

This compression is shit.

This external drive I have is just USB mass storage. It’s using the USB protocol and shows as removable external storage, same as a flash drive.

Removable storage is not the issue here. There is no significant overhead introduced by having removable storage with USB mass storage protocol.

OP is forced into using MTP which does suck and adds overhead. This is not the “normal” way of transferring to me, that would be USB mass storage.

No, that is not what I am suggesting at all.

Decompressing the zip on the phone is an inefficient operation, as you are reading and writing to/from the same storage device. It’s much more efficient to forgo the zip altogether and just transfer the files from one device to the other. No zipping whatsoever.

As said in other comments, it’s MTP that’s the issue here. Just use USB mass storage. MTP blows.

Interesting, so eSATA protocol can be used over a USB physical link?

Why does this overhead not exist when I’m sending files over USB to an external HDD or flash drive?

I have an external HDD array connected via USB 3.2 and it handles file transfers same as a SATA drive. There’s no handshaking beyond the initial negotiation of the USB connection, certainly not on a per-file basis.

I don’t see that specified anywhere, just looked at OPs history. MTP blows. Surely that’s not the only option on Android these days?

Right… that’s what I’m saying! My entire point.

Sending a zip of music files to a phone, then decompressing that zip on the phone, seems like a really stupid idea to me. You’ve now set up a situation where you’re reading and writing to one drive rather than reading from one and writing to another.

Understood. I’m also talking about sending a full zip over to the flash drive, then unzipping it on that same flash drive.

Music files are large enough to not get affected by overhead like sending a ton of 1kb files. I see no significant difference in transfer time sending 100 10mb files or a single 1000mb file.

This is a totally different story with actually small files (ie kilobytes). Music downloads are not small, they’re multiple megabytes.

This does not match my experiences. Transferring files over USB would absolutely be faster than sending a zip and unzipping it on a flash drive. I can easily do 300MB/s over USB3.2 when transferring music files.

Unzipping a large file is going to be a bunch of reads and write and the large file is going to transfer at the exact same speed as the smaller music files, which are not “small”, they’re still tens of MB. So, the zip and music files take roughly the same time except now you have to wait to unzip with one large file. It does not save time.

Transferring tens of thousands of 1kb files will slow things down, and I’d zip this, but music files are big enough.

Isn’t this just going to be happen when the zip is decompressed, thus not saving time? I would actually expect it to be worse, since now you’re reading and writing from the same drive instead of reading from one, and writing it to another.

I didn’t figure I’d ever have to explain to someone why abusing a human child is fundamentally different from and worse than drawing on top of a fuckin’ JPEG.

Holy shit. You don’t. Stop inventing arguments and read what the fuck I’m writing. Answer those questions.

What advantage does having unique terms for real and AI content confer? Answer in one sentence.

Man, your reading comprehension is really shit. You could have just stopped after the first question. Yet again you’re making an assumption about the purpose of the term.

I already did the “what words mean” thing earlier.

-involves a child
-is sexual
-is abusive (here’s your Simpsons exclusion, btw)
-is material

That’s literally every word of CSAM, and it fits.

We need a term to specifically refer to actual photographs of actual child abuse

Why? You’ve made a whole lot of claims it should be your way but you’ve provided no sources nor any justification as to why we need to delineate between real and AI.

You’re the only one using that definition. There is no stipulation that it’s from something that happened.

Where is your definition coming from?

Dude, you’re the only one who uses that strict definition. Go nuts with your course of prescriptivism but I’m pretty sure it’s a lost cause.
