Twitter??

carryonrtw,

@silasvt Yeah, no. :) I used to work on SunOS in the early 90's and can attest that X windows system predates Twitter and Linux. It's too bad there isn't an org that can go after Elon for infringement with the new logo. 😀

carryonrtw,

@Kidplayer_666 @opt9 What platform are you on? Chromium supports hardware accelerated video on Raspberry Pi's, so less CPU load, while (and derivatives like ) is about to with the upcoming 116 release. Currently I use LibreWolf on my Pi4 except for video watching and then I go back to Chromium. Once version 116 comes out I won't need to switch.

carryonrtw,

@Kidplayer_666 On Firefox/LibreWolf look at page: about:support -> Graphics -> Compositing. If it says "WebRender (Software)" it is not using HW accel. If it is using HW accel it will just say "WebRender".
on Chromium/Chrome/Vivaldi etc. look at page: chrome://gpu/. You want to see "Hardware accelerated" and not "Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled".

carryonrtw,

HW accel should be automatic on targets that support it (x86, AMD, Apple). I run on a target which is and doesn't support it "yet". The fix has been checked into git so next release will fix it on Firefox and LibreWolf. In your case though, if Firefox is working then LibreWolf also should.

I'd ask @librewolf if they have any ideas why it wouldn't work. The Google turned up this: https://www.reddit.com/r/LibreWolf/comments/11isnra/how_to_enable_hardware_acceleration/

carryonrtw,

@opt9 Looks like you found the issue. Did changing those settings fix the problem?

carryonrtw,

@opt9 I'd bet that they just missed it. Glad it's working for you. 👍

carryonrtw,

@opt9 I knew how to check if HW accel was enabled. Beyond that I'm just spitballing. 🙂 You could raise an issue on their gitlab.

The largest public school district in Texas is eliminating librarian positions and converting the libraries into 'discipline centers' at 28 schools this upcoming year https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2023/07/26/hisd-to-eliminate-librarians-turn-libraries-into-discipline-centers-at-28-campuses/

carryonrtw,

@taylorlorenz Texas and Florida seem to be having a race to create Margaret Atwood's dystopian from The Handmaid's Tale.
