Okay I'd like to believe that I'm relatively understanding of how my laptop works in parts enough to work on it if I have to (from the software side, hardware is a bit trickier).

What would make a Debian machine (or Linux, I've tried a KDE Neon live boot and got the same issue) to choke whenever video playback in _any_ application occurs? I get this with Zoom, Firefox (via Jitsi, Google Meet, YouTube etc).

32 GB of RAM, an 11th Gen Intel i5 should not be moving like this. I can build Firefox on here (though it takes quite some time) and Rust (not as long), but if I were to hold on a video call, within a minute, I'm getting 4fps video with wild audio lag.

@alienghic @alienghic The overheating might be it: there was a point where my fan would _always_ be on (regardless of temperature) and now it doesn't come on at all.

Local video playback is cool and smooth; making me wonder if it's a hardware issue

You gotta be kidding me. So much for wanting to help the open Web; they're going to opt to sell people's contributions to the Web.

Why do you think people keep pushing people to use Discord as a forum instead of (anything else)?

Edit: Thanks Elon.

@phryk That I can agree with especially because of the aggressive focus on a platform over a protocol

I hate that this has become the (accepted) case. And it feels like the routine one for so many other projects (commerical is better because yes it is, fuck you, it's in English)

Good point. It's dangerous to dilute the context in which things occur. (https://jacky.wtf/2022/7/Mkdl)

Is Glade not recommended for GTK development? Because it's front and center (below a few folds) at https://www.gtk.org/
