    Some of the flickering can be gotten rid of by disabling hardware-acceleration for qtwebengine.

    I've got
    `export QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_GPU_THREAD=1

    export QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu-compositing --num-raster-threads=1 --enable-viewport --main-frame-resizes-are-orientation-changes --disable-composited-antialiasing"`
    in .bashrc.

    Note that there is still enough flickering left to annoy, and some (appimage?) apps dont seem to register the setting.

    The purpose of copyright in the USA, and as far as I know in Brittain, yes.

    But please remember that in much of the rest of the world copyright is a reaction to people, creators, getting in trouble over third party usage of their creations.

    Leading to the idea that a creator should have the power to stop people from using their works for whatever the creator deems objectionable.

    That sounds like a really good idea if the site thinks the reason they're a lot of different lock-on attemps from that one ip is because its a hacker with a list of stolen credentials.

    Basically just tell them their list is fake and "go away and stop bothering our customers, please."

    So, I've just set up my own peertube instance over at tube.puggaard-nyborg.dk, and that was surprising simple. Or I should say that the instructions were surprisingly clear and correct, more so than what I've seen from other comparable open-source system. Anyway, easy-peasy. And now I want to follow some other instances, so I go looking at [PeerTube instances](https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances). And ye Gods are there a lot of ... people who don't agree with me politically. Do any of you people out there know of a listing of instances-instances? I'd settle for an instances-instance that leans anarchist, if you of any such beast?
