Youtube is experimenting ways to artificially slowing down loading times on firefox, it may not work like that for every user yet but this is yet another attempt to force us to give up on adblockers which not only block ads but malicious snippets of code too since it's likely made to get people to switch to chrome which will make adblockers work less efficiently soon.
This video explains this and explains a workaround to keep using firefox and have youtube load normally.
Please consider sharing this information, if you don't want to repeat this post specifically consider at least sharing the video directly.

the web is google and keyboard activism will prevent fixing it.
stop the tribal internet retard wars.
unify under enforcing anti trust.
mozilla is complicit.
tor project is controlled opposition.
brave hate is low iq tribalism.
ladybird is the real alternative.
and there is nothing your activism will do to change anything google does, as someone who used to be an activist, it is 100% a tool to divide and conquer, as an activist you are a pawn.
the stages of being told google being in full control of the web:
denial
anger
bargaining
depression
acceptance
reconnaissance
intelligence
strategy
narrative
solution

@vic @raccoon @Zerglingman @jeff there was something else based on lora to build medium sized networks, maybe i have bookmarked that.
it didn't include globally working adresses like ip networks, so not that usable..
@vic @raccoon @Zerglingman @jeff i think it might have been meshtastic. wasn't that local area only? i think i read something about a maximum of <256 devices.
would be kind of cool to have something like the early store-and-forward architecture of the early long distance UUCP times.
Unfortunately, the challenge with all of these solutions is hardware availability. Not many people have all the technical knowledge needed to find a bunch of specialized components, put them together (breadboard and/or solder, let alone weatherproofing, let alone integrating solar charge controller and battery, etc.), program them in a robust way, and find likeminded people to do the same. The instant some company decides they want to do it, it turns into yet another proprietary spy device.
For open-source Helium/TTN equivalent, there's ChirpStack.
