Rules for thee but not for me

Pretty sure they do? Unless you’re talking about a different DRM thing.

I’m gonna keep using and recommending LibreWolf for the foreseeable future.

But I wonder what other alternative web engines do we have with both Chromium and Gecko being run by advertisers now?

I know Palemoon runs a fork of a really old version of a Gecko and I used it for a bit back when Firefox 58 broke most add-ons. But I’m a bit iffy of it’s security these days.

Sadly I found out the Linux version hasn’t gotten the latest update so you gotta run it through Proton if you want Co-op with people on Windows.

No Besiege fans in here? Probably the most relaxing way to cause complete chaos and destruction.

As a newer Linux user I really like flatpaks.

I don’t use them for most things I install but proprietary apps I want sandboxed or programs that have weird issues with dependencies I grab the flatpak.

I switched a few months back after using Firefox /w ArkenWolf for years.

It’s great having an out the box product I don’t have to immediately tweak settings or install 3rd party tweaks & plugins to have a decent experience with.

I’ve been playing around with it in a VM and thinking of throwing over my old Windows drive I haven’t used in months to see how well it works on my actual hardware.

Getting Pipewire setup on it has been a pain in VM and all the fixes others posted online haven’t helped me.

Half the reason I switched to Linux almost a year ago was to avoid Microsofts forced invasive Ai bullshit. Seeing stuff like Recall has only cemented my decision.

I could go on a long rant about what I consider “right & wrong” when it comes to Ai but I’m just some dude and wanna use my own computer in the way I want to.

I had an original fat model PSP in white and that thing never looked truly clean after the first week no matter how hard I tried! It put me off buying white electronics ever since.

People who insist on having all white everything scare me.

I actually noticed something similar the other day when looking for Red Dead Redemption PS3 on Vimm’s I got given.

‘Download unavailable at the request of the Entertainment Software Association’

I do for both my guitars and this is the only one with tuning issues.

It’s already had a few string changes and setups since I got it.

I ain’t gonna say it’s as easy as Windows but I personally haven’t had too much trouble running cracked games using the Lutris launcher.

Lutris also lets you show logs by right click on the game, So if you get an error while playing or loading it gives you something to look up.

Welcome to the club!

That was kinda my experience as well when I ran vanilla Arch for a bit, First day was just finding and installing stuff that already came on Endeavour.

After I had an SSD issue had to switch to another drive I didn’t really see grabbing regular Arch again as worth the extra hassle.

Not only that but the original mixes of albums often don’t get put on streaming platforms because of licensing bullshit or whatever.

And especially for rock and metal the newer remasters of popular albums tend to be pretty bad and overly compressed or have weird post EQ added.

You have to add the drive to a file called ‘fstab’ to have it be mounted on launch

If you want a video guide here’s the one I learnt to do it from.

It is kinda annoying Linux doesn’t seem to have a decent auto mount solution yet especially for people like me with 6+ drives in their machine.

I don’t even have an OLED display for my desktop and I’ve still preferred pure black background for the longest time.

I’m glad dark mode is a standard unlike 10+ years ago when you had to hack it in yourself most of the time. But Ui designers just seemed to be afraid of trying anything outside the standards Google/Apple etc put in place.

If one is good then two should be like…double the good right?

As much as I appreciate Mozilla halting Chromiums complete stranglehold on the web. I even used to donate what I could to the project a while back, But they’ve also been fucking up so much lately I can’t even in good faith recommend vanilla Firefox anymore.

But forks like LibreWolf still require Mozilla to stay afloat as they’re not maintaining the back end only scraping the crud off the top.

So it’s really starting to feel like a lose/lose situation.

I dunno if LibreWolf has this pop up, But I’ve also never even seen this screen in over a decade of using regular Firefox either.

Easiest solution would probably be adding the meta refresh setting to a custom user.js file you can use on new installs.
