I managed to work around it by unchecking “wait with pageload until all the blocklist are loaded” in ublock origin. Seems to work like normal now, though I’m unsure if that is actually a fix. I guess it might have some negative side effects like some ads coming through.
Oh hang on. My ad blocker was disabled. I turned it off to test something because my browser kept hanging when surfing the web on my phone.
It is related to ublock origin for some reason. Because the moment I turn it off I can browse like normal.
Case solved why I’m getting it :)
It takes a (short while to show ). I also have uBlock origin in my phone ( with fennec ) and it did show for me for some reason
I was on fennec, but I’ll have a look! :)
I got a video that started playing which only had an arrow to expand but no x to close. It kept following while scrolling.
Not sure why my ad blocker didn’t block it.
Edit: after staying on the page for about a minute it just auto showed up
That was one god awful website. Holy shit. Why would anybody willingly visit that site. Wtf
Worth every goddamn cent I paid for it.
I just checked,
google photos has permanent access to photos and videos. If you disable the app the camera roll no longer works. I get “activity not found”.
Maybe with a FOSS camera app it might still work? I haven’t tried.
Edit: and that is the only permission which it has ( photos and videos ). Everything else ( location, contacts, … ) is not allowed. But that one permission is auto permanently allowed.
If you disable Google photos storage access you don’t even have a camera roll :/
That’s how embedded the damn thing is
You are correct. I misread ( or my brain farted ) and looked up the wrong one.
Libreoffice their latest blogpost is from the 20th of August 2025. There have been a few releases in the past few months as well.
Openoffice their latest ( Apache Openoffice 4.1.15 ) was released almost 2 years ago ( December 2023 ).
Libreoffice seems like a more recent, better supported tool over Openoffice which hasn’t seen any updates since 2023 according to their own website.
I’m on my phone, so I didn’t search extensively. But I think that also plays a role in why there’s a much larger fanbase for libreoffice rather than Openoffice.
I’ve no recent experience with either so I can’t comment on how well either works.
Edit: I looked up the wrong one. My statement remains correct w.r.t. Openoffice, but they mentioned Onlyoffice which is a different product.
Connections timing out have always been a firewall issue for me.
Client sends packet, firewall drops packet, client waits for a reply that’ll never come. Client times out.
I would check firewall logs or temporarily disable it to see if it works without it.
so yeah check the firewall on the server, the client and in between ( if any ). That’s what I would do.
Half life 3 will simply never live up to the hype/fantasy people have for it ( I think ).
After all this time I feel they’re either never going to release it, or release it when the bar from the public becomes… Realistic.
I wish there were more banks offering virtual CCs.
And if you are in the “It doesn’t work” camp, then you are screwed without serious skill.
This the same for windows. Or Mac. Or your plumbing. Missing something.dll errors and whatnot. Running things in win98 compatibility mode. What’s your point?
If you are one of the lucky ones where it works without effort, be grateful and don’t go around telling everyone who has problems that it’s super easy. Because it’s more luck than skill and your experience might not fit the experience that others have.
What exactly is the angle here?
That I’m lucky it all works? Sure. There’s no skill involved in pressing the install and play button.
Can I guarentee it works for him? No. Did I claim it would? No.
He asked for experience and I shared mine. I’m not adding a disclaimer to day it’s all just luck. Because frankly in my opinion it isn’t. There’s been stellar work done by devs to get it this smooth. It might not be perfect. But it’s far from just “luck”.
Gentoo is IIRC one of the harder distros to use. Or at the very least one that requires a lot of Linux knowledge.
At least that’s how I remember it.
Personally there’s plenty of good distros to work from. Things like proton and wine are pretty well hidden.
I’m running on bazzite for a while now and have run into zero issues. ( Full AMD pc ). My previous rig had an Nvidia card and that one worked pretty flawless too. Only issue I’ve had is Edge of screen flickering in ff16. But only in ff16.
Bazzite came preinstalled with everything i needed. Wifi drivers, controller support, …
It’s what I’d recommend to friends if they’d want to give linux a go for gaming. I’d benchmark bookmark protondb for them as well to see if the game actually runs on Linux :)
My only issues with Linux gaming are mainly the custom launchers ( ubisoft, ea app, battle.net ). Heroic app works great for gog/epic.
Edit: wrong word
I’m trying to wrap my head around your comment to understand. What exactly do you mean by supply chain sploit risk?
The tool is using 3rd party libraries and those libraries could be used to introduce vulnerabilities in the app?
Pretty sure banks have a pretty good track record of “keeping your money safe”. Why the fork would anybody trust banks to keep their money safe if they can’t keep your money safe?
I don’t really understand why that statement is even on there?
Unless you mean to argue some anonimity point, which I could agree with considering e.g. Monero would be more anonymous than a bank.
But safe? I’d say the bank is quite safe to store money.

Fedora 32-bit Libraries
You might have seen some news regarding Fedora wanting to drop 32-bit libraries in the distant future. This is no longer the case as the proposal has been rescinded without a vote.
That’s good news I hadn’t heard yet. I also noticed the bazaar suddenly appeared yesterday. Now I know why.
You’d be surprised how often DDOS can be an inside job.
