  • IIRC I had to keep xsettingsd running in the background for my system GTK theme to be applied to Flatpak apps so maybe that's what you need?

  • I've tried both and ~/.local/bin tends to be used by a bunch of tools to install their own binaries/scripts so depending on what you use it can become very messy (which did happen in my case). I used to have a ~/Documents/Scripts directory in my $PATH and that was much cleaner than my current setup so that's what I'd recommend, especially if you want to use Git with it! :)

  • Sometimes it's plug-n-play and everything works great. Sometimes you press the update Nvidia drivers button on your Ubuntu work computer and then need to tell IT you bricked your OS. YMMV

  • No worries Mickey Mice! Hopefully you won't face any more big hardware issues after that '

    Good luck in your Linux journey! :)

  • 21:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4352 802.11ac Dual Band Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)

    It's probably related to this recent issue

    In my experience Broadcom on Linux is a bad omen, second only to Nvidia. If you can, I'd recommend switching your Wi-Fi card for one that has better Linux support (e.g. "TP-Link Archer TX3000E" or anything that uses an Intel chip inside really since support for them is handled directly by Intel and integrated into Linux's source code). Good luck! :)

  • Shit like this is why people go back and play much older titles and have a great time with them

    "People" as in maybe 5% of players

    That's the part of the comment I was referring to. It's factually wrong: only ~15% of playtime is spent on 2024 games

    LoL didn't release in 2024, neither did Warframe. I'm not arguing that old service games don't make the most revenue, they obviously do, I'm arguing that a lot of the live service games that are actively comming out are almost all underperforming and failing to get any kind of audience. All that means there's very little incentive to develop a new live service game unless you already have a big community for it or a brilliant idea

    If you have a lot of money, you're better off investing in a "Black Myth Wukong" or "Elden Ring" -- both of which are outperforming the newest Call of Duty on Steam in revenue -- compared to a new random live service game

  • Damn already working on an app? That's so cool! Starting E2EE there is definitely a good idea then!

    MeroChat is such a nice project, thank you for working on it <3

  • The server might always send a modified script that just uploads the plaintext private key.

    Yeah, you'd need a way to validate the client code before it's executed to solve that issue

    Section "2. Client application security" of MEGA's Security Whitepaper discusses this exact problem. Their best solution to that issue is to just cram the whole frontend in a signed web extension and not serve any code to the user when the extension is active, which is not very user friendly but works for those who want an extra layer of protection

    I just can't find a good user-friendly implementation, sorry for not being of more help. The web just isn't E2EE-friendly ig :/

  • Yeah, I'm not used to E2EE in the browser either and StackExchange seems to agree that there's no nice solution :/

    The sanest option in terms of user practicality to me appears to be storing the private key on the server, maybe encrypted with the user's password, and sending it to the user on successful login where it would be decrypted client side. It seems like it's more or less what MEGA is doing since they have a similar issue

    If the server having temporary access to the user's password is an issue maybe the password could be partially pre-hashed before being sent?

    It's be interesting to talk about it with someone with more experience, especially since implementing all of that will be a pain so it can't be redone every Thursday

  • I know Matrix has E2EE with some public documentation on its implementation. Maybe it could help you? Idk how familiar you're with E2EE or what kind of implementation you'd want, anything will have drawbacks :/

  • Damn, that's sad. Since I already have tons of games I want to play I'll probably never end up getting it then. Thanks for telling me :/

  • No worries! I've just realized you were asking for games on sale (reading is hard ugh...) so hopefully the ones you want will be discounted mb '

  • Great games that came out in 2024:

    • UFO 50
    • Peglin
    • ANIMAL WELL
    • Balatro

    2024 games that I haven't tried yet but seem promising:

    • Pepper Grinder
    • Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom
    • Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
    • Rabbit and Steel
    • Another Crab's Treasure
    • Felvidek

    All are in no particular order. Dunno if you'll like those but these ones come to mind :)

  • I'm sorry what the hell did you call me??

  • The encrypted files are very suspicious and, in the new canary, they removed the part that stated they didn't receive a gag order: https://web.archive.org/web/20240405132835/https://cock.li/transparency/warrant-canary.txt

    It's possible that it's Vincent's way of warning the users of a gag order. He may be an insufferable edgy little twat but he cares a lot about transparency and, had he received a gag order, he would definitely try to communicate it

    Maybe I'm just being paranoid, you tell me

  • Yes! uYouPlus is amazing although it can be a pain to install because of Apple's shenanigans. It's a collection of patches over the official YouTube app

  • It runs fine! :)

    32-bit Windows programs can run on 64-bit Windows just fine thanks to WoW64 (with probably very few exceptions)

  • Games @sh.itjust.works

    RPG Maker XP is free on Steam for a limited time

  • I see, thanks! Also your cat pics are adorable, thank you for blessing us with them &lt;3

  • Dumb question: How do you differentiate between these two? I've been staring at this picture for a while but I can't find any obvious differences between Weenie and Leonard
