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.
Just another person seeking connection, community, and diversity of thought in an increasingly polarized and team-based society.

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.
The lack of Google/Microsoft enshittification is a huge draw.
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.
No. PiHole is effectively ad-blocking via DNS; the name is a play on black hole and Raspberry Pi.
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.
Suddenly, I miss the old days of Android. I suppose it’s back to CyanogenMod or whatever it is these days
