Basically Google sits on so much browser market share that they decided to push a change through that’d benefit their business model which is ads and that means making adblocker extensions worse as @Kannushi_Link@lemmy.world points out. It’s going to affect many other extensions, I imagine userscripts and userstyles will also be affected - if you use a Chromium browser.

The end of manifest v2 is also nigh, less than a week away. It’s all just coming crashing down this year.

Being a noob helps me there. I’ll boot into a live environment off a usb stick and use gparted if it’s local. But obviously that’s a lot harder via SSH

To some extent you’re right. There’d be less content if nobody paid. But imagine current society without treats. I don’t know if capitalism without “panem et circenses” would start to crumble real fast.

What about flatpak tho? https://flathub.org/apps/net.supertuxkart.SuperTuxKart

I haven’t had any luck getting it to run either, and I’ve tried quite a few different proton versions, both via heroic games launcher but also via bottles. No luck at all.

EDIT: Asked someone on nobara’s discord and they suggested installing “vcrun2022” via winetricks, and sure enough, that made it start. Maybe there’s some DLL file that mfc140 and vcrun2022 share that was needed?

I had to run this as a sudo, what does it

I wasn’t aware of pika backup, but it does look good. It’s basically a fancy GUI for borgbackup, but I like separate projects like that, each focusing on what they do best.

I get that feeling when I press “report spam” and gmail suggest I “unsubscribe from them”, that that’s exactly what the spammer want, a ping back so they know I’m susceptible, that I’m an engaging fool, and get put on all the lists.

It is nice to have guard rails like a GUI until you grasp the possibilities, that’s how I’ve learned historically coming from DOS and Windows at least, but you can still mess things up plenty with this tool.

I switched to linux a little over a year ago and went with MX Linux because they have great GUI tools for windows refugees like myself, and because they don’t like systemd over there they use cron jobs. Now, having switched to Nobara I’ve just installed both SystemD Pilot here, but also found KCron, a KDE Cron configuration module which allows for the same functionality as what I’m used to.
If I just want to setup a “when system starts” daemon, is there really any difference in using one over the other? I guess it’s possible to shut down services more gracefully?

In any case, great job on this utility.
