Idk why looks like Borderlands 2 textures to me.

Same-exact-thing. It's like when you check the fridge knowing there's nothing in there.

I think I'm okay, but thanks! I just started and I can barely tell the difference between weapons, and I haven't set up my steam guard yet, so I can't trade.

No, this is Patrick.

For a moment I think this was a Linux community talking about X.Org.

That's right, but from a user data perspective, Google does not know that you are the one watching the video, so it cannot sell your data.

I actually read your comment but I could not answer, your idea was not bad, actually, if you press Ctrl+Shift+Tab you open the "Library" tab view.

That works, thanks.

I know this is a bit offtopic, but on e621(warning: furry site) there is a userscript called Re621 that in the absence of a 'subscription' system allows you to subscribe and creates a kind of notification within the page that notifies you when an artist you subscribed to uploads new art, without the need for an account. Something like this would be ABSOLUTELY GREAT if it existed for Youtube, because I could just export my subscriptions and that's it, if I format my PC I don't lose my recommendations.

Since I can't really help and I don't know if something like this exists for Youtube, I wish it does because I also use Youtube without an account, but something I can suggest you is to use some instance of Piped and create an account (not related to Youtube, it only exists inside the instance) to be able to subscribe and save playlists, but only that in your case, because you will lose the personalized recommendations, you can also use FreeTube and subscribe locally to your favorite content creators there and export it as a backup so that if you were to format your PC, you can remember the names of the content creators to which you were subscribed.

I started the friday so you are probably right.

Yep, only casual.

I suppose the community was unfortunately eliminated because of the politics of the instance where it is hosted, but I am not sure, if I directly go to the community there is nothing, it does not seem to exist anymore. And maybe it's related to one of the post of a mod no long ago, which was asking someone to join as a mod because "Someone has been uploading illegal content to the community"

Does anyone know more about it, or do you know any community like that? There are many communities of shitpost but that was the only active, the others have posts 20 or more days ago.

Edit: Thanks for the answers, I hate that we can never have anything good because someone always has to shit on everything for having a miserable life.

No mount option in Dolphin (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Xirup to c/[email protected]
 

Hello, I'm using Tumbleweed and I can manually mount any .iso in a directory using the terminal, but I can't use Dolphin's GUI to do this.

And in the "context menu" actions there is no "mount" option.

I downloaded the GOG version (from a secure site) and it runs fine, my PC can handle it and it runs perfectly on medium at a stable 60fps, but sometimes when I play the game it seems "slow", I can't really describe it but it's like the game runs fine at first and then drops below 20fps and when I restart the game it runs fine again.

I know it sounds like the cryptominer from 1337x, but I didn't download from there and the GPU and CPU usage is exactly the same.

The game is installed on an SSD.

I'm running Bottles with wine-ge-proton8-13, dxvk-2.2, vkd3d-proton-2.9 and the problem persists in both dx and vulkan.

I have heard that for a long time, but lately since the Red Hat and RHEL thing happened I have heard it more.

I've never given OpenSuse a try, not really because I don't like it or anything just because I've been fine with my current distro, but I've been thinking about it and I'll possibly install it in a VM and if I like it I'll install it on my personal machine.

The only thing that really concerns me are the Nvidia proprietary drivers, they are installed during the installation when it detects my hardware or I have to install them manually?

Edit: After a while playing with the VM I decided to install it on my PC and my goodness, it's great! Among the things to highlight, I find it incredible that they have things like Yuzu or RPCS3 in their available repositories, in my previous distro I had to use flatpak for that or appimages and many times those programs did not recognize my GPU (possibly because I used Wayland). I also love that it has apparmor installed by default and even that I can access snapshots from grub!

Piracy in China (self.piracy)
submitted 2 years ago by Xirup to c/piracy
 

I am curious about something that came to my mind recently and that is, in China is it possible to pirate and how?

About China I only know about the firewall and little else, so before I say something idiotic or something that sounds very ignorant, I'd rather you enlighten me.

Vivaldi (and Edge) have this absolutely wonderful capability that allows me to split one tab into two or four at the same time.

At least in my workflow it's quite useful because I usually work with several tabs open and sometimes two related tabs (say, a document I'm reading and a document I'm replying to according to that one), I know that I can perfectly have another Firefox window open next to it and fulfill that function, but I wish I could do it directly from Firefox.

Does anyone know of an add-on that fulfills this purpose? Or maybe a dev who is developing it?

First of all, I want to clarify that I have 0 relationship with the development of this project and I am simply a Linux user who always wanted something similar to IDM and I want to share my discovery with more people, with the hope that this program will become more famous. .

Now, File Centipede as its own Github description mentions is a Cross-platform internet upload/download manager for HTTP(S), FTP(S), SSH, magnet-link, BitTorrent, m3u8, ed2k, and online videos. WebDAV client, FTP client, SSH client.

For those who have used IDM, File Centipede serves exactly the same purpose and has the typical features of any download manager, including torrent file support, plus it's open source and works extremely well in my experience.

File Centipede has a browser extension (Chromium/Firefox) that allows you to download almost any video from the Internet, in the style of IDM, a little icon appears on top of the video frame to click and download. And also, if you have this extension installed, File Centipede intercepts downloads from your browser, and personally I am very surprised that it can intercept downloads from sites like MegaDB or Vimm(dot)net, when programs like JDownloader, FDM, XDM could not. intercept or simply downloaded an .html.

Now, not all that shines is gold and I want to include something that you are going to run into if you try the program. File Centipede is a program that has been in development for a little less than a year, and has absolutely 0 ads, but when you go to their downloads, you will find that there are two versions, a "Premium Edition" and a "Free Edition", the Premium Edition is the "Most Updated" version, it has more functions and capabilities, but after a while you will get a pop-up telling you that you need an "Activation Code", and it is important to mention that the program does not stop working if you just ignore the pop-up, it works exactly the same but at times you will have that pop-up. If you wanted to buy the activation code, the developer allows you to pay a lifetime version for $28, or you can pay $0.02 for one day, that is, if you pay $1 you will have an activation code that will work for 50 days, and the developer makes it clear that all purchases are simply to motivate him to continue working on File Centipede and they will be refunded. And he warns that once the project reaches 100k stars on Github the Premium version will become free.

In case you don't want or can't pay the activation code, the dev releases a key each day (usable by everyone, if I use it you can too) on his official site every day that eliminates that pop-up.

Well, that being said, I hope someone finds File Centipede as useful as I do, personally I haven't seen any performance hit in the browser if anyone is concerned.

 

As seen in the image, in the past to download Mineclone2 I simply downloaded it from there, but I don't see it available anymore, is there a reason?

I already downloaded the .zip and placed it in $HOME/.minetest/mods and although it appears in the list of mods I can't use it.

 

This happened after an update went wrong and when I restart my computer suddenly some files have an icon and others do not. It does not only happen with Dolphin icons, but also with other elements of the system.

Going to Settings and resetting the theme usually fixes this, but at random intervals it happens again.
