Wayland seems to be different, maybe I’ll install x11 DWM

squid OP ,

Tablets not supported sadly

squid OP ,

Yea I gave it ago, it crashed afew times and seemed to be very limited

squid OP ,

Ive read about this, good to know but infinite canvas applications lend them selves well to mindless doodles and expanding canvas is extra work that I am too lazy for

squid OP ,

Looks great but is it a dead.project, last update in 2019

The fuck this got to do with linux

[Question] Which shell prompt do you use and why?

Hi. I’ve been using powerlevel10k for a long time, but a few days ago, I decided I wanted to customize it a bit. I opened the .p10k.zsh file, and I was shocked. It’s really massive, with TONS of options. I’ve been digging through for a few hours already, and it’s absolutely amazing how much you can customize it without...

Bash with blesh captured_image8259805959819673767And nano-syntax-highlighting captured_image5235261566743949456

squid ,

I’d also once switched to zsh but some of my scripts had failed to run so I’m back to bash, blue.sh is okay, mostly use it for auto-fill

squid OP ,

I used barinista and they got pretty hefty threats from insta, I will however look at pixelfed thanks

squid OP ,

Cheers

squid OP ,

Thank you, have been using insta webapp but even with adblock I get shown suggested and sponsored so you may have fixed my main gripe, thanks

squid OP ,

Not tried, I use VPN, adblocker and run insta through webapp but still see sponcered and suggested posts, anyway using tor would be good for some but for me not so much

Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs. (sh.itjust.works)

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.

squid ,

The lowest common denominators dictate the market, Netflix has best sales in recent years for hiking and consumers couldn’t live without it and now Disney is wanting a taste, and I’d imagine it’ll work out well for them.

squid ,

I love how everyone is jumping down your throat, you’ve just as much right to have the opinion of Disney being shit as the next for having pure admiration for Disney. I also don’t see what people like about Disney, I think its shit and this is a valid criticism

squid ,

We’re very aligned, good to meet you. I also don’t do fandom’s and avoid mindless consumption, brands and general marketing. Honestly struggle to witness people slowly falling for the trap though, like watching rodents fling themselves into the mouse trap. But we’re nearing the end of capitalism, moving to tech feudalism. Fun time ahead

squid ,

In they’re opinion its objectively shit

squid ,

The theming is stunning

New anti-VPN measures at BBC

Today, for the first time, I couldn’t use iplayer. As usual, I switched country to UK, cleared browsing data, deleted everything from temp app data file before going there. Was using Firefox. Tried same procedure with Epic browser. Same result. Chatted with Nord support. They wanted screenshots of results from dnsleaktest dot...

squid ,

And this is why I only torrent and use third-party software for my media consumption needs

squid ,

Do away with YouTube and use software like freetube, no adds, sponsorblock, and google can’t track my habbits

squid ,

I saw this in a few applications, I wonder if it’s a general bug with shared software code

squid ,

Christ they’re at it again

Opinions on Swisscows?

Hello! Since I’m unable to find a public searxng instance that could work for more than a week and sadly cannot selfhost one, I’m looking for a replacement. I so found Swisscows, that promise to be privacy respecting, but here on lemmy didn’t find any opinion on it. Do any of you use it? Why or why not?...

squid ,

Never used it but come across them. Seem holesome.

I’ve been using mullvads leta search engine and thats been fine for me

squid ,

Yea mullvad released a tor browser and search engine

squid ,

I agree, come of as an american libertarian, but at least he’s not on the weirder side of the political ideology with age of consent (from my limited knowledge of him)

squid ,

Mental outlaw wears his political stance , in doing so its very in your face, I’m aligned with European libertarianism and communism so for me to watch an unboxing channel would be uncomfortable as the idear are juxtaposed to mine so I can see how some may find it difficult. To me he’s a wholesome dude

squid ,

Works amazingly but anyone know how to support without google play

squid , (edited )

Any distro is fine for piracy, you could also set up tor tunnel for torrents Only if your client supports itif ISP is something your worried about or just use a free VPN service

squid ,

I’d agree but if all I wanted was to torrent without my ISP knowing then its not important, personally I use paid for VPN service but I’d class myself as a privacy advocate

squid ,

Download whatever distro seems interesting, if tails is something you want to try then try it I actually had a similar introduction to Linux but I doubt youd stick with tails as its not a daily not to say tails doesn’t have its place. I personal like arch distros and if your moving from windows you’d probably like KDE plasma. Using Linux won’t instantly net you privacy, this is something that you’d need to pro actively aim to be private, like what is the URL for the pirate bay, 1337x, can I trust this torrent? Which browser do you use and search engine, what torrent client can be trusted.

I’d recommend using transmission, qbittorrent or anything Foss with half decent user base. VPN you’ve got proton free, mullvad costs but I’d say its worth it or you can tunnel through tor network. Distros you’ve got lots of options, recommend you look at distrowatch or youtubers like distrotube. Find a small pall of trust worthy torrent sites and names of trust worthy repackere, fitgirl, dodi, jc141 to name a few.

But most importantly. Make sure to seed 🙃

Since when did Firefox make it so difficult to set custom search engine?

So been moving around a lot with browsers, waterfox, librewolf and very recently degoogle chromium, figured id look at Firefox and holy theres less than half the option in setting then there were afew years back but I gotta say the biggest sin is that adding custom search engine is obfuscated, and the chooses of engines are...

squid OP ,

I don’t mean this as an us against them statement, I wouldn’t use services hosted in the uk either

squid OP ,

Okay so I remember when in setting I could just add search engines, why remove that feature? Why not have the add from search bar as well as in settings?

squid OP ,

I’ve reinstalled Firefox to test this and followed your direction. I can’t see anymore search engines than previously stated

squid OP ,

And why the hell would I use an add-on for a web address? My point is that the search engine feature is gone from settings

squid OP ,

Sorry I miss typed, would it make sense to of left the custom search engine option in settings whilst also adding the ad from search bar option?

squid OP ,

Addons, I would avoid as they make it easier to fingerprints and also its the long way around, if all I want to do is add a URL like google.com or bing then why should I add an extension

squid OP ,

But it was much easier lol and logical

squid OP , (edited )

Never kick an underdog even if the underdog is directly funded by google, I should imagine google had a large part to play in these changes. But anyway thanks for the link

I’ve also come off and confrontational with my stance, its hard not to be when a large portion of replys have been dancing around the stated issue of senseless removal of a key setting

squid OP ,

Part of the vocal few, most people seem to agree that googles relationship to Mozilla is negative, and it doesn’t matter that you’d find the answer by searching for it, what does matter is that there was a perfectly adequate solution that is now gone for no rhyme or reason, and not one person here has said why removing the option is beneficial but what ever, this conversation has become petty and I don’t care for the direction you’ve taken

squid OP ,

Very petty

squid OP ,

I don’t believe you’d read the body of my post. As I’d never said default search engine couldn’t be changed

So point is that while your saying I didnt do research what gave you that impression. My dispute is with obfuscation

squid OP , (edited )

The dictionary definition of obfuscation means to purposely obscure , make harder, and there is no mention of a time frame. So with the add by URL gone from settings and a limited amount of defaults search engine thats are all shit and no clear reasoning for the removal of that setting then how does that not fit the definition of obfuscation.

ETA: My point is you don’t get to complain when people reflect back the energy you put out.

I definitly can complain as can you and anyone else. I am admittedly stoborn (not for stobornness sake or pride) but I have not resorted to name calling

squid OP ,

Not a problem till next time, and you too buddy have great day

Has anyone had success using xdelta3 for patching gog games

So I’ve got cyberpunk phantom liberty 2.0 but to update to 2.1 heroic game launcher wants me to download the hole game again, gog galaxy through wine is not an option so I’m looking at xdelta3 and innoextract to manually patch game files. But I’m hitting a break wall and seems to fail with every attempt using xdelta3

squid OP ,

I have and much prefer heroic which als o handles updates

a want to buy a tablet to take notes at school

Basically title, but I don’t want an iPad because of my “open source mindset” ik it sounds cringe but fr I hate Apple’s philosophy and I don’t want an iPhone to sync every shit. Also I’d like to have a tablet that doesn’t all my data to some big corporation (like Xiaomi or Google), and I don’t know where to start...

squid ,

If that suits your needs, then sure, but personally, I’d choose a tablet PC for its versatility, broader app selection, and to avoid the challenges posed by Google’s APIs within what I see as a problematic ecosystem. I appreciate my degoogled phone, but it’s still quite common to encounter apps that heavily rely on Google’s services
