This has happened to me before as well, there’s so many reasons a site or anything on your end or in-between could be down or have issues, that’s why mirrors work so well for resiliency! Glad you’re back up to speed now.

Deb-src is the source code repository iirc. Unless you regularly download and read source code, you do not need it.

Use X. Wayland is dead on arrival.

For all the mad ones here’s a reminder: the Steam Deck uses X for the desktop. You think if Wayland had a future, maybe Valve would see it? Considering they took Wine and made it functional and all.

Nevermind launching games via just Proton itself on the KDE desktop, but even if you use a nested gamescope session - it only supports X.

That’s not to mention that for any gaming outside of the steam deck, you’re gonna be using a real GPU that can actually play games properly, and NoVideo drivers only support X properly. You can either stay stinky with Wayland, or play with Path Tracing on.

Only GNOME Devs like Wayland. KDE, Valve, Qt and many other FOSS contributor individuals and orgs alike support and use X primarily.

Wayland is the IPv6 of the display protocol world.

I get a 404 on those URLs too. Try a mirror? Look up Debian mirrors and try one of those

When I was ~10 and visiting the US as a tourist I lost my wallet somewhere on Ellis Island and realized it only when I was about to pay for a slice of pizza at some touristy cafe, I was freaked out and a random stranger that wasn’t in the queue just paid for it for me so I didn’t worry. Was only like 5 bucks or something but I still think about that today. Poverty and widespread opioid addiction and HIV was so common in the country I grew up, I was not used to people not caring to waste money just to help a stranger.

Closest I can find is:

media.peerconnection.enabled

This disables all the WebRTC cancer.

In chrome you can also search for WebRTC but that’s the culprit I think.

In addition I’d recommend giving this a read:

Especially comment 136

Look at the mentioned media scale flag too.

And this other thread:

Good fucking luck.

Mozilla can’t put together a half way functional browser to save their life and lick up every enshittification doohickey that falls of the back of the burning Trainwreck that is Google.

It was this for me, but it only works in one direction - when turning it down. So turning down YT volume means turning down system audio, then turning up YT audio is just turning up the YT audio. Insane behaviour. There is a way to turn this off in Firefox flags (about:config). This shit also messes with your system mic volume on MS Teams.

Yes

I guess I can see the appeal, though for me this seems mostly like an issue with the home setup.

For me, I don’t really care about price, it’s not that expensive.

But what kills it for me is I can’t vape or pause the movie or rewind or flip on subtitles or control the volume, I can’t take a break to take a piss and I can’t comment on the movie with anyone I’m watching it with and I get to pay 20 bucks plus waste my day on travel so I could hear random strangers munch popcorn while I am forced to watch military recruitment ads and trailers for movies that somehow outslop actual AI slop that are always called some shit like “$80s_intellectual_property_name” or “shit world: dominator” and they always seem to have that one lady from the avengers in them.

At home I watch web-DLs (and BDRemuxes for special occasions) on a 24 inch computer monitor with somewhat dodgy 2.1 Logitech speakers (basically classroom ones but with a subwoofer unit) from over 6 feet away and I lounge on the chespest IKEA couch. It feels like paradise to me honestly. But thanks for the perspective.

That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing it!

Companies not to vertically integrate. Production studios should produce movies, and streaming platforms should provide a platform for people to access movies. If Spotify made its own music it would be absurd, right? Well, yeah.

Benzos. Pretty convinced I had a minor seizure discontinuing that shook me awake with what I experienced as like a flashbang inside my brain.

Psychologically it was quite easy to make the decision to stop and taper down etc. as the drug had accomplished what I wanted from it and I no longer had a solid justification for it, but physically it was an endurance marathon, didn’t unclench my jaw for what felt like weeks.

Sleep was rare and awful. My leg was so restless I’d work up a sweat just shaking it trying to not freak the fuck out. It was like a panic attack that just didn’t go away for weeks.

Other than that I don’t think I’ve ever had any serious addictions, nor any psychological addictions at all which is what I think people usually mean by “addiction” as opposed to physical dependence, but yeah.

Nice, I’ll no longer have to wait to pirate the Web-DL. Hate cinemas anyway why would anyone go there anymore

Yeah this would be useful!

I’m assuming everyone here listens to music somewhat regularly, but I’m curious about how much you care about it. And i specifically want to know about your enjoyment regardless if it’s considered a timeless masterpiece or just a meme song.

I care about it a great deal. I have no genre or time/era preferences and will listen to basically anything that is interesting in some way or simply connects with me on an emotional level, though I do love a good interpretation of genre convention too.

Do you care about having decent enough devices to enjoy it or do you just buy the cheapest pair of earbuds to silence the world around you?

I’m no audiophile but I invested in some DT1990s years back paired with a nice EQ and a Bravo V2/FiiO E10K that serve me well to this day.

Do you have favorite albums or do you just hit play on a random playlist and zone out?

Neither. Weird dichotomy.

I have favourite albums and artists, but most artists I like these days aren’t really “album artists” and most music I regularly enjoy are artists from 2010s onwards or from pre-1990s era of singles dominating. Even with the album era of 90s-2010s when CDs really sealed the deal on albums as the default, I don’t regularly listen to albums as a whole.

I make my own playlists and I mostly use them as a collection of songs I like where I pick out the individual ones and listen to those on repeat, until I pick out the next song. No shuffle, no algorithm/autoplay ever. Most playlists are either genre themed or hyper personal life arcs. I must have spent hundreds of hours making them, curating and sorting them.

Do you ever listen to music just to enjoy it and nothing else?

Yes

Do you talk with passion about your favorite songs/albums/artists?

And yeah I talk about my favourite music all the time, maybe even too much, it seems that music as a whole is less and less appreciated with time, which is a shame, but it is what it is.

Do you spend time searching for music?

Yes. But these days Spotify’s suggestions at the bottom of my personal playlists do do a lot of the work for me. However I also find lots of artists through word of mouth from the people around me, music featured in other media and through artist collabs.

TL;DR is music art or content to you?

Art, no question about it.

Yeah but that’s the thing they’re in completely different circles. They might as well be from another planet to us lol

Yeah!

Been a while since I distrohopped heh

What even is zorin os lol I’ve never even heard of it. Normies really do surprise me often like this, like they mathematically calculate to pick the strangest least expected things through the most alien of mechanisms, it’s always fun trying to figure it out after the fact. Delightful news!

Literally just a dating app without the hidden algo that keeps people onboard and no payment. It could be federated.
