I'm still bitter that I was promised an open-sourced Keet by the end of 2022 and haven't gotten it yet. But this is good news for decentralized mining :

"[...] Tether will begin routing both its current and future Bitcoin mining hashrate to OCEAN, the decentralized mining pool launched by Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr. [...]

OCEAN Pool, launched in late 2023, positions itself as an alternative to traditional mining pools by enabling miners to construct their own block templates via its DATUM protocol. This design is intended to improve censorship resistance on the Bitcoin network."
