I am running mostly Firefox or Librewolf on Linux these days, but I do not remember having to enable it. Not all of my systems support accelerating AV1 in their hardware, but they do play at 1080p (but with framedrops once above 30fps on the unaccelerated computer). But yeah, I do hope YT keeps VP9 around because of the acceleration.

Fair point.

I mean, given that many devices do not support accelerating it, it is in practice “hard to accelerate” unless you add a new gfx card or buy a new device.

I may not have worded it optimally (2L speaker), but I am sure it was fairly clear what I meant. 🙂

For AV1 that could still be okay, lol. It would be kind of meh for e.g. H264 but YT does not even use that anymore AFAIK.

I can only imagine that they (OP) set quality settings on [auto]. That way they might have YT constantly lowering bitrates/resolution. I do not have any issues either, but I use fixed quality settings.

Youtube pushes the AV1 “format” heavily these days which is hard to decode using hardware acceleration, given that a lot of devices still out there do not support that.

And Wikipedia confirms that I was closer to the truth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_V:_Skyrim

Not 12 years?

AFAIK lemmy.ml is the only instance that still has the filter on. When federation was not enabled yet and there practically were only two (!) instances up and running, people on Lemmy were already pointing out that things like posted by OP would happen. 😆

Edit: I think however, that this case was mostly in jest and on purpose.

I would not know exactly in this case. Only that I once noticed somewhat indirectly and unofficailly that some folks on that instance see matters that way.

It is a Mastodon account that OP is using to post here after their Lemmy account got banned. There are plenty posts made but not visible (on Lemmy) unless you go to their Mastodon.

In the modlog it is visible that OP used the word “Dumbasses” and on lemmy.ml that (I suspect) is considered an ableism (they refer to their Rule 1, so that is the only plausible thing I can think of).
