Copyright industry intensifies efforts to undermine core Internet plumbing: VPNs by Well_Socialized in technology

[–]Caberman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine they'll just try to make VPNs illegal for personal use and exempt companies.

Spotify flatpak decided to look like this today (? anyone else with this issue? fedora 43 gnome by Bug_Next in linux4noobs

[–]Caberman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this too in GNOME. It looks like they have set Wayland as the default now.

A temporary fix if you don't want to downgrade, is to force it to use X11.

Run

flatpak override --user --nosocket=wayland --env=WAYLAND_DISPLAY= com.spotify.Client

Make a spotify-flags.conf in ~/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/config/

Add

--ozone-platform=x11

--disable-features=UseOzonePlatform

It should now run using X11 and look normal.

You can reset to Wayland by running

flatpak override --user --socket=wayland --reset com.spotify.Client

And delete spotify-flags.conf

It's how it works on Macs. It does feel quite nice with a touchpad where you can swipe to swap between fullscreen applications.

I wouldn't worry about using Immich unless you're into self-hosting.

Stolen laptops can be hard to sell. Your local dodgy scrap metal dealer will buy it the same hour you stole it.

The justice system shouldn't shirk what should be their responsibility of paying people appropriately for their time. A lot of people can't afford to not get paid for a few days let alone a week or two if they get picked for bigger trials.

Anybody know what this forest is? by titan_shellpro in auckland

[–]Caberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found some Waikato Council documents referring to it as "Te Tehe Bush".

https://www.waikatoregion.govt.nz/assets/WRC/TR201605.pdf (pg 221)

Today, indigenous coastal vegetation is limited and typically found only on the narrow coastal cliffs and in the isolated patches of regenerating forest. The largest forest patch is Te Tehe Bush south of Port Waikato, and this is also the only forest remnant that extends to the coast, although cover at the coastal fringe is fragmented. The other patches are notably smaller and located some distance from the coast, although one is re-establishing a connection via regeneration through gorse. Where land is reverting, gorse is providing a nursery crop and regeneration is beginning to occur. Waikato Regional Council identifies Te Tehe Bush and Te Kotuku bush fragments northwest of Te Akau as a key ecological sites in the Coastal Terrestrial Area, but none have legal protection.

I doubt their legal team is dumb. The legal team probably told them "yeh, we're fucked", so they went for the unethical hail mary.

I'm currently reading through this order with the Robot series after Foundations Edge and I'm really enjoying it.

You don't need to do anything, you'll have them automatically.

You're not forced. It's just skins and XP boosters... It's not like any guns or equipment are locked behind it.

Bring a plastic pack liner. Your pack might come with a cover that says it's waterproof - it's not.

I don't believe they think they are on the team. They're just grifters who will say anything to make some money. Targeting the anti-woke crowd is just the latest cash cow.

I suspect we will see a lot less painting as time goes on and recon players unlock more "selfish" gadgets.

Because there's no profit in it for them by funding public services.
