Thanks for the reply. What’s weird is that I’ve done what the endeavouros forums said (and, looking through them, they did similar steps as the ones outlined on the archwiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Preserve_video_memory_after_suspend and I still get that black frozen screen with just a cursor. I’m guessing this is exclusively NVIDIA’s fault… or KDE’s as I never had this problem on GNOME. Thanks anyhow
It’s a cool concept in the sense that it obfuscates the user by filling the advertising algorithm with garbage so that profiling supposedly becomes more difficult. I don’t use it as I don’t need this feature and just want to block ads (uBlock Origin is the best content-blocker right now), but if you want the features, you can use it.
A plus is that it is also based on uBlock Origin
by the same logic, they won’t know what you do inside Tails, nor when you boot it up
It’s a GIMP patch. OSS and all. You can find it here: https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP
I don’t think downloading directly from Spotify is possible, considering they have DRM (I might not know what I am talking about, feel free to criticize). And I tried downloading from Spotify directly using yt-dlp
.
That said, spotdl
seems to only download from YouTube (which is not DRM protected). So what I would recommend you do is ignore ChatGPT and use a well-known tool (such as yt-dlp
) in the terminal. It is as intuitive as it gets and it does not require you to do scripting (unless you want to). And find (or create) a playlist using your YouTube account and download that using yt-dlp
flags to convert the mp4
or webm
files into mp3
or other
I think the docs will have what you’re looking for: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#usage-and-options and if not, good ol’ internet search is a couple keystrokes away
If you don’t know how to read code, then you pretty much have to trust them, and all other open-source software out there. The good thing with FOSS is that there’s probably someone who cares about it enough to read it and audit it, although there can also be a chance that no knowledgeable person cares about the code so no one ends up actually knowing what it’s doing.
I don’t know how to read code, so I pretty much have to trust all of the FOSS that I use. Although open-source is usually more trustworthy than proprietary counterparts (read: PRISM)
Just tested it out. I thought it was like NoScript in the sense that it would break all websites, but it doesn’t. That’s a better extension than I thought
I found someone on 4chan that wouldn’t stop announcing this engine on /g/, most likely the owner as well. And seeing that the name is 4get, it probably started there
Also, not that it matters much, but it has a strong stance towards open-source software, not allowing closed software in its repositories. Although closed software can be installed by using RPMFusion
I found this on my privacy journey. Don’t know how relevant it is today though
If you want to give it a shot I would recommend you use Podman Desktop. What I did was I just followed the instructions from the SearXNG page until I had to run it. Afterwards I would just add it to Podman Desktop. Then enter the settings to set a localhost. You can use 8080 in the localhost setting. After that I would just press run and it would start. On firefox or whatever browser you want, now enter localhost:8080
in the search bar and you have your very own searxng
What is that system monitor? Is it conky?
Exactly. uBlock Origin exists for a reason. No one can block everything, but mitigation tactics exist, and to not use a product just because the website contains trackers, I don’t understand why one would do that if the product itself doesn’t contain trackers, but hey, people are different
You can backup your profile folder. See here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
If you throw proton and wine into the mix, Linux is almost as good as Windows in game support
It will most likely be explicit opt-in, if it is implemented.
[ … ] The proposal owner suggests a compromise “suggested opt-in” design, where the UI encourages the user to opt-in, but the user must explicitly make a decision to do so or not. [ … ]
I agree. A lot of people went over the discussion to voice their opinions. And the proposers have adapted it since. They listen to their users, contrary to other for-profit operating systems (to reiterate, Fedora is NOT for-profit, and it never has been)
I’ll just throw another tool to the mix: https://prism-break.org/en/
As a desktop user, I find the Linux experience to be one of constant improvement and learning. First time I tried Linux it was hard. Very hard. Now I know what I want. That doesn’t mean I don’t get to know new things every now and then. So, yes, over time you’ll acquire new skills and knowledge to deal with problems
