Suddenly, I miss the old days of Android. I suppose it’s back to CyanogenMod or whatever it is these days

Regulatory capture seems about on par for Google these days. I suppose I’ll be switching back to OnePlus for Android devices; that’ll be about it for Google stuff in my home.

I consider the privilege of choice in taste of one’s preferred stimulant to be one of the few small joys to late stage capitalism.

Username checks out.

That’s fair - it seems to depend on if you’re using the Windows 11 consumer version or the current enterprise version.

Yes. It will allow Firefox to use any graphics processing available which is incredibly more efficient for video workloads.

Even shitty onboard Intel Iris and similar handle video workloads that much more efficiently.

Not to be flippant, but you could have just stopped at Microsoft Teams running like ass as the problem is Microsoft Teams and its bloated, over-ambitious nature running in fucking Edge via WebView.

Specific to your case, you seem to be referring to a video call - is Firefox using hardware acceleration? I seem to recall each video feed is its own transcode/render process so if that’s entirely on CPU, it could definitely wreck your performance.

I’d say cope and seethe, but… you’re definitely already there.

You’re not wrong though; give Linux a whirl.

You are aware that was a generalized observation, right?

You seem to be the exact type of unthinking blue-team diehard called-out for bizarre, near-vitriol reactions.

I suspect you’re just not liking being in this comment.

You’ve managed to avoid the knee-jerk “useful idiot” etc vitriol? I’m impressed and envious.

The lack of Google/Microsoft enshittification is a huge draw.

How does that in any way explain the bizarre, near-vitriol reactions of blue team participants to criticisms and jokes about Biden?

A relative excess of funny would just explain more jokes, and poorly.

“safety”

The various @politics communities are currently chock full of a weird deflection of all jokes and criticisms of Biden and a focus on jokes and criticisms about Trump. It’s pretty hard to see how the blue team part to this pans out at all.

Why can’t my queer ass think guns are awesome like c’mon

This exact combination has begun to break brains over here in such a manner as to be exactly like the old r/Politics that made r/liberalgunowners so lovely.

It always amazes me the extent to which people with such absurd reductionist hyperbole seem intentionally unaware of the extent to which there’s an exact mirror of oversimplification on the other side.

The Politics@ communities seem to be doing their best to bring that back to the right, but yes, outside of that it’s leftist to a lovely degree.

Sensationalism at its finest.

However, the open-source developer GloriousEggroll mentions that the developer subscription to RHEL is free. So, access to RHEL source code is still possible but inconvenient?

Just want to to note here the Developer subscription is completely free and still allows access to RHEL and its source code if you want exact package sources. CentOS stream basically serves as a RHEL upstream so I understand this change. It may seem confusing for some people.

Isn’t paying to remove ads a fair deal?

If the price were reasonable, community practices especially regarding monetization and moderation were acceptable, telemetry-tracking javascript minimal, etc. then sure.

But… we’re not there.

Well, this certainly explains my difficulty with YouTube over the last few days. Ironically, the piped instances still seem to be fine…

This might just be enough to push me primarily over to Rumble. There are fewer and fewer reasons to use YouTube and more and more reasons not to.
