But then you're indirectly giving the enemy (Google) power by increasing their browser market share, which in turn lets them dictate the future of the web.

Just a reminder for anyone not in the know:
While Bluesky is better than Xitter right now, don't forget that it's still a centralized service that has censored - and will continue to censor - content they disagree with. Bluesky Relay servers costs so much to run that it's only financially feasible for big corporations to run them. This forces centralization, although technically can be decentralized, and puts it's end users onto the same path of enshittification that Xitter and other social networks have gone through.
Mastodon, while imperfect, is actually decentralized (including DM's - all Bluesky DMs are centralized amd can be viewed by its admins) and cannot suffer this type of censorship.
I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I'm kinda done with them. Anyone have any suggestions for a mail provider? I'm not yet willing to self-host that.
H.265 is patent encumbered. Blame the 2 or 3(?) patent pool holders (for-profit corporations, unlike non-profit -and-slowly-losing-market-share Mozilla) for not making it free to use for everyone.
This is why AV1 is preferred, it saves bandwidth and there's no threat of being sued into oblivion.
