Yeah, tried all that, and not having much luck in Firefox and MPV. VLC fine. Replied to the other post, and it might be Snap blocking it. I dunno though, because I know basically fuck all about snap other than a lot of Linux people don't like it.

Yeah, I thought I'd ticked something similar during setup, but maybe it wasn't for that. I installed them and it hasn't really changed anything in either mpv or Firefox.

The compositing in Firefox is webrender (software) and appears to be using llvmpipe as the GPU. There's a 2nd "GPU" listed, but doesn't seem to use it All the codecs say hardware is disabled...

Installed VLC and that seems to use the hardware renderer. MPV and Firefox are both installed with Snap. I'm seeing a pattern that might not be there, but I'm already hating Snap. This is day two of my rebooted Linux experience...

I got a cheap mini pc. It had W11 on it which I promptly broke (I think it was when it insisted on me putting in a PIN but I closed the window). It also ran at 100% for no reason trying to do updates, but then refused to do any updates.

So I put the latest Ubuntu Linux on it. Seems OK, but I can't get anything to recognise the video codex stuff in the N150 CPU. It seems to know it's there, but Firefox and MPV won't use it...

Yes, I'm sure a nation with huge oil and gas reserves wants nuclear just to have very expensive energy.

They want nuclear weapons to prevent regime change due to external interference. Russia can't protect them. There's no NATO style protection for Russian allies. I think we're only seeing this now because of how weak Russia is on the global stage.

Oh, did you not pay for YouTube Extra Premium Plus for the enhanced bit rate?

Bloody peasant...

Because they know they'll lose it as things currently stand.

That's why they've been trying to build nukes.

All really cold countries have solved homelessness...

Do you know how many ads are on Jellyfin?

I watched just the one episode of Wednesday and came to the conclusion that whoever wrote it had never seen The Addams Family at any point.

It was painful to watch.

It's too soon for distasteful comments like this.

There's no evidence the bee died. Many species can sting more than once. Hopefully the bee can go on to sting many more allergic billionaires.

I just hope Israel's policy of not caring about collateral damage doesn't backfire here. They may hate their leaders, but seeing family and friends killed will solidify them against Israel.

Sure.

Energy to play? Well that's a tough one...
