❤️ sex work is work ✊
I agree! Though, I think the OP is a bot judging by it's post history, despite not marking itself as one.
I agree with not using the term "sideloading", but let's not adopt right wing shame tactics by coining a portmanteau that conflates people's harmless sexual kinks (e.g., cuckolding) with negativity. It's sufficient to just avoid app stores, there is no need for childish shorthand.
Also, I don't see how you are providing anything here resembling a "guide". You're stating an opinion, which is fine, but that's not a guide.
Unsure what you want to accomplish exactly, but if all you need is just literally to share your desktop and the sound from it, OBS Studio is great for that. It doesn't even matter if whatever video platform you're using supports screen sharing, you can just do it yourself very easily using OBS's dead-simple Virtual Camera feature.
If you're like me, and you have no idea what Openclaw is, and noticed that the project linked doesn't explain it either: Openclaw is apparently some sort of AI bot that performs tasks on your personal data without your input.
Yeah that's a good point, the question itself leads to someone either revealing their whole ass, or showing that they are good people.
Also not a good litmus because anyone supporting the concept that immigration should be divided into categories of "legal" and "illegal" is implicitly supporting the idea of the existence of ICE and organizations like it.
I don't understand the concern, domain names are cheap and easy to get, they can just keep using new ones. Why does it matter if they lose the ones they have?
Piratebay used to do the domain dance all the time back in the day (and maybe still do).
Most of the paid plugins I've messed with have code to phone home and prevent operation if there's not a paid license of some sort.
However, before you bother trying to put effort into pirating those, I recommend making certain that what you want isn't already freely available a different way. Many paid plugins have decent open source and free alternative plugin(s) that can be used instead. You just have to look hard enough in the plugin listing. The WordPress ecosystem is vast, but there are a ton of smarmy assholes charging monthly subscriptions for plugins that replicate features provided by free plugins and hoping you won't notice.
I'm not trying to convince you to like something you don't, and KDE is a fucking great suite of software.
However, it does sound like maybe you haven't used GNOME in quite a long time. It does have various customizations built in that are available to users through the settings UI these days, and "tweaks that barely work" isn't really a representative critique of the general ecosystem anymore.
GNOME's extension platform is very mature at this point, and I've personally used a bunch of the same extensions for years now spanning like 10 major releases of GNOME without issue. Yeah, the little fly-by-night extensions that get two point releases and then are abandoned don't work forever, but that's true of a lot of old software, and is probably a good thing, honestly.
I tried the new version of the app (
1.3.1) and it works a little better. As mentioned in my other comment, the app tries by default to write to my home directory, which fails. However, if I manually tell the app to use ~/Downloads instead, then it works!On the other hand, closing and relaunching the app again clears out what I've manually configured and it tries to write to my home directory again until I change it every time.
(Also, apologies, I should be reporting to your issue tracker instead.)
Hey, sure no problem. I don't actually have a Music folder ordinarily since I keep my music in a network location instead.
$ flatpak run --command=bash net.fhannenheim.musicfetch [📦 net.fhannenheim.musicfetch ~]$ xdg-user-dir MUSIC /home/lukeFlatseal shows that the app has requested permission to access xdg-music, which in my case is my home directory. I would assume that means it should be able to write there, but maybe the "All user files" toggle being off supercedes that? I'm not sure how flatpak permissions work, exactly.
Hey, thanks for the response! I tried again with the recent update (
--versionsays 1.2.1) and still having the problem. The button you refer to opens my file manager in the system root directory, instead of the download directory shown in settings which is now by default set to my home folder instead of~/Musiclike in the prior version.To recreate, I ran the app from the CLI and searched the videos tab for "flowers", then clicked download on the top result. The metadata pages had blank values (are they supposed to populate automatically somehow?), and I clicked through until I got to the final page below.

The logs are slightly different in that it seems to attempt to save the file where it is configured to do so (the home folder), but there's still not actually a file saved in that location when I click to open in my file manager:

Good luck with the app, it's a really good idea!
I had similar problems where the logs say it moved the file to my Music directory, but the directory was empty. I made multiple attempts using different directories and making sure the app has permissions with flatseal, but no luck.
It seems like a nice app though, I'm gonna keep an eye on it!
The app description explains it:
The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set (e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature). It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged extension or root.
I believe it is primarily a result of ignorance and self-denial.
At least in the USA, a lot of people went their entire lives unaware that there is any difference between liberals and leftists, and used the labels interchangeably for themselves.
Then, at some point along the way, they encountered actual leftists online and were told differently, so rather then confront that they've been accepting and perpetuating a falsehood about themselves all this time, they find some "legit" leftist label they can cosplay as instead. Engaging deeper with their new adopted costume label is something that hasn't happened yet for them.
Thanks for sharing, but I imagine it doesn't get mentioned as much here because from a privacy perspective, that app seems kinds shady.
No source code available as far as I can tell, no builds available from a reputable source like F-Droid (just unvetted APK downloads from someone's Google Drive), no apparent issue tracker beyond a confusing and seemingly outdated network of thread links from 2016 on a forum.
Open Source @lemmy.ml housing cooperative community management options
You could use something like WinBoat to make installing and using a virtual machine for Windows a lot easier. It also makes Windows apps feel almost like they are native to your Linux desktop, which is nice.
Alternatively, you could try running Excel in wine using Bottles, but I'm not sure how well that'll go since Excel is kind of a monster of an application.
I feel like there's also a similar kind of perspective that is widely normalized in these kinds of discussions that boils down to simultaneously blaming everyone on an individual level and being defeatist about ever solving it. Specifically, I'm talking about when people say things like:
Oh, we destroyed the rain forests / polluted the environment / strip mined 3rd world countries / ruined space with our junk / killed the coral reefs / etc
No, we the working class didn't do that. Humanity as a whole didn't do that. The owner class did all of that to feed their addictions to wealth and power under capitalism. We the working class by and large criticized all of those things whenever we happened to have enough agency to consider it.
Linux @lemmy.ml What apps are you using in Waydroid?
Most stuff that runs on Windows is uninteresting because there are superior free alternatives on Linux, but in the cases where I needed it, Bottles is great.
I'm not sure what people are referring to in other comments when they say Bottles has "jank", but for me it works very nicely for the few apps I occasionally need to use it for: Daz3D (just worked), jDownloader (just worked), and Affinity (followed this guide and it worked easily).
