Yes, I just needed to install the latest version of Minetest using my package manager instead of flatpak.

I like Yiffit in particular because besides the fact that I'm not just there for the NSFW content, just as there are those who like to constantly check /All, I like to check /Local to see all the posts in the instance without having to manually subscribe to each existing community on Yiffit because I use /Subscribed exclusively to see the communities that I like, so /Local is like a kind of filter for me because I'm not an excessive consumer of NSFW either, there are simply certain artists who create great art and Yiffit is a great place to find artists you didn't know, or see art in general whether SFW or NSFW, not just "watch porn".

I used to use up to 4 accounts at the same time with different feeds so as not to put all my eggs in the same basket but I got to a point where I honestly got sick of it, I really just want when I have free time to scroll through my feed and that's it.

Its really also a good option as you said to maintain this account and subscribe to the Yiffit communities that I like because I have the best of both worlds, or as another user had already recommended to me, I could also perfectly have another exclusive account for Yiffit, but that's what I've been doing for months and I honestly feel tired of having different feeds, but they are completely valid options that I should consider again.

I hate politics as well as many people, and just like them, I am constantly exposed to them on Lemmy and especially via /all, I can just block those communities, can't I? Or I can simply not even look for them in the first place because I don't like them and not hate the people who do enjoy them.

At what point did I say that I was upset with the decisions made by other instances? I openly said that I respect and agree with the decisions made by the administrators of the instances.

Personally I don't use /all much, I just see the posts of the communities to which I am subscribed and that's all, and I think that's a good point that I hadn't taken into account and thanks for pointing it out, but that's why it especially affects me not to have access to those communities in lemmy.ml, because they have a huge flow of posts that I lose by not being able to access those communities.

Thanks for the information, and I will take it into account.

[–] Xirup 1 points 2 years ago

Same! Thanks and welcome!

In the balls, of course.

Fuck I hope it's not because I want to use the local "All" function to watch all the posts within the community. I hope the admin is fine.

IMHO there's no other way to know that something works that trying it by yourself. I honestly don't believe that there's some kind of specific problem with that model that will not let you use Linux on it, maybe some kind of BIOS/UEFI lock but that's usually easy to unlock.

Maybe if you really want to be sure that it works, you can try using Mint from Live Mode (Booting directly from the pendrive without installing the OS) before purchasing it.

Me with my virtual girlfriend (ChatGPT)

 

Browsing the internet I found this app called VMOS which is basically an Android emulator inside Android and it's great for testing or playing pirated games, the problem is that the app is almost completely in Chinese and I was curious to investigate how much the "Premium" version that unlocks root access and other things was worth and to save me work (I know) I asked Perplexity IA how much the premium version or membership was worth and their answer was that.

Perplexity IA is a chatbot like ChatGPT (I guess based on it) that I found on the FMHY megathread and I found it quite useful because it doesn't need you to login to use it.

Here is the link to the chat for validity purposes.

 

Hi! I was recently looking for Violentmonkey scripts to exactly fulfill the purpose of solving captchas automatically and I came across this curious extension which is also a Violentmonkey script.

Has anyone else heard of it? I honestly haven't at all. The extension itself is supposed to be completely open source and has been working really well for me.

To install the extension you need to head over to their Github and download their .xpi and be strictly in Firefox Nightly as (and this may be a problem for many) you need to disable an option in about:config to install unsigned extensions within Firefox Nightly.

Next, you need to install a package via npm called nocaptchaai-puppeteer that "simulates" human touches.

Then you need to go to their website and create a free account and put your API KEY in the extension and that's it, just click on the "settings" buttons inside the extension and you can enable them, remember to activate the extension with the top right button.

Now, the process itself to me seems very invasive as I need a package on my host machine and I need to install an unsigned extension and not to mention that you need to register with a real email, you can't use temporary or masked emails, but other than that it really works very well.

The extension itself works fine and has nothing that tells you "You need to pay to use it", as with the free API you can solve 200 captchas per day and in my opinion that is enough for anyone who uses their PC on a regular basis.

Obviously this post is not an ad and I have 0 relationship with its creators, also if anyone wants I can post in the comments a mini guide on how to configure the extension step by step, and if anyone is interested also here is my referral code, it is supposed that if you register with that we both gain more daily API uses but no idea, if you prefer you can register directly from their website!

 

Basically I want to download a serie in a specific language and absolutely nowhere I can find it and recently I saw that the serie is available in the language I want in The Pirate's Bay but I know the bad reputation of the site and I have never used it.

I ask if it can be considered "safe" in quotes because at least in this specific case the files are not executable, they are only .mkv and in fact I don't even plan to play them on my PC, I plan to play them on a computer I use as a media center that has no internet access (and it's Linux). And although this setup should be considered "safe" enough, the question itself makes me curious.

In the torrent there is only the chapters of the serie and nothing else, or so it seems, I would analyze the files in VirusTotal before playing them but each chapter weighs more than 1GB (they are in 1080p and last more than 40 minutes) and VirusTotal does not allow to upload files of a certain weight.

I am sorry for the generic question about a site with a bad reputation, but although according to my knowledge everything should be fine, there are always things that one does not consider or go unnoticed due to ignorance or lack of knowledge.

 

In KDE Neon and in almost any distro I have been able to rescale the native resolution of my monitor to a higher one in Wayland and X11. For example, I currently use an old monitor with 720p native resolution but I usually rescale it to 1080p because that's what I'm used to and for my taste in 720p everything is too big.

In Garuda's Wayland session I don't have the option to raise or lower the resolution of my monitor, the option is turned off.

I know I could change the monitor but I don't see the need, the one I have works and I don't use it to play games or watch movies.

I wanted to create an unofficial community on Garuda here on Lemmy (because I don't like their forums, nothing against them but it makes me lazy to create an account just to use it on their forums) but I don't have the time to moderate it, thanks for creating it! You will probably see me often here!

And I have to admit that the 4th rule of the official Garuda Linux subreddit sucks.

Support requests belong on the forums

Support posts must exclusively be submitted to the Garuda Linux forum. https://forum.garudalinux.org

Obviously it depends on each person's tastes, I have been using Plasma for 3 years and I love it.

 

I downloaded several to learn different programming languages and I have them in a directory called "Courses" and each programming language has its own directory, for example, for Bash it would be Internal Memory > Download > Courses > Bash and so on with each programming language,

The problem I have is that many of those courses are divided in more than one playlist, for example, a Bash course has 20 directories and each directory is a category of the course (arguments, variables, strings) and inside the directory has its own videos that start numbered from 1 and this is a complete disaster using the VLC Playlists function because as each directory has its own numbered video that starts from 1, VLC orders all the videos that start with a 1 in the playlist, even if they are from different categories, so mixing for example video 1 from the arguments category with video 1 from the functions category.

Is there any video player that allows me to do the same function of VLC but that allows me to separate the playlist for each directory within the base directory?

 

I am and all my life have been a Linux user, I have nothing against Windows or MacOS, I just like Linux, and lately I have been experimenting with Windows in a virtual machine and I don't really know much open source software there apart from the one that is cross-platform like Firefox or Joplin.

At the moment I know:

Flow Launcher: It's a typical rofi style launcher, although I'm not a TWM user I like to just press super and type the first letters of the program I'm looking for to open it.

Lively Wallpaper: A program to have animated wallpapers, in the style of Wallpaper Engine.

Edit: I want to clarify that I read all the comments, I only respond to some because many times I have nothing to contribute to many of them because I don't know what to comment. Thanks to all of you for providing your lists of programs, I will be sure to try as many as I can because they are great, at least I know what to install if I use Windows one day!

Currently I manage my passwords in an archaic but secure way, which is simply to synchronize a directory where I have my Keepass database between my devices, and I say archaic but secure because even if my Nextcloud server hosted on a VPS explode (where I have the database stored) I still have the databases stored locally, so I don't lose anything.

I am currently interested in self hosting Vaultwarden although my biggest drawback is the fact that if my VPS were to fail for example I would not be able to access my database and if I lose access to the database I lose access to all my passwords. a pretty bad scenario.

So I have a question, what can I do to prevent that from happening? Apart from hosting everything on my own hardware of course, for now I prefer to use VPS for different reasons.

 

For a long time I have been looking for an extension where I can "store" or "separate" my open tabs and send them to another place to read them later, and not something like wallabag and not necessarily offline, but simply for example leave saved the url of this post to see it later, without the need for it to be a news.

This is the extension and this is its Github page and its last update was just 3 weeks ago, so far in my opinion it works absolutely perfect.

Now, to tell the truth I can't say if it works because the developer was aware of the mobile users or it's because Mozilla is working on getting more desktop extensions to mobile, but either way, I want to make it clear that it works fine on desktop too.

For those who are interested, here are the steps to add extensions from desktop to mobile, it also works in Firefox Beta.

I have read that depending on the filters you have in uBlock, extensions like Skip Redirect are redundant, how true is this? And in theory, which filters should I activate for uBlock to perform the Skip Redirect function?

Personally, I'm not a Skip Redirect user, but this comment that I have read on multiple occasions makes me curious and depending on what people tell me here I may try it.

 

The only app that has this feature to my knowledge is Pocket Plan (available on F-droid), which is a great app but I'd like a simple shopping list, not an app mixed with my notes, ToDo, etc. There are also some shopping list apps but they are apps that have not been updated for several years.

Does anyone know of a slightly more "updated" shopping list app?
