I did nothing and I’m all out of ideas!
I didn’t know about this project, so I took a quick look around.
I didn’t see any mention of Telemetry or Metrics, but I assume they can use this:
After starting Tails and connecting to Tor, Tails Upgrader automatically checks if upgrades are available and then proposes you to upgrade your USB stick. The upgrades are checked for and downloaded through Tor.

Still, I just gave this a few minutes, so there could be more.
Considering you seem to dislike the whole concept of Bots, isn’t the Bot toggle in the Lemmy profile exactly what you want?
It auto ignores all posts and comments made by accounts marked as Bots. Sure, the owner of the account has to correctly mark it, but I feel that can easily be solved by reporting unmarked bots.
But I’m interested, if you would like to expand on it, how would you make a bot opt-in?
The only way I could think of is through PMs, but that would be cumbersome, and generally unfit for purpose, for all the involved parties.
I think comet is more about multiplayer in games that use the Galaxy API than achievements
The gog cloud save support I think was already in the Heroic Game Launcher for about a couple of years, I think I have my Cyberpunk 2077 saves on there, but honestly I’m not sure
The Heroic Games Launcher is (IMHO) by far the best interface to gog you can have on linux.
You can find it on the AUR if you use arch, which makes it pretty straightforward to install.
The next version will integrate with the Galaxy API using the comet project, which should make it even better.
The only problem I had with it is that, once upon a time, there was a bug with downloading some games (Cyberpunk 2077, in my case) and I had to compile the git version of Gog-dl and target that in the settings… but the fact I could even do that is great by itself.
The (IMHO) important bits:
TLDR:
Our continuous internal reviews and beta test groups have highlighted areas that we need to focus on more, mainly performance and content
From the FAQ:
Is the game canceled?
No, the game is not canceled.
What happens to pre-orders?
All pre-orders will be refunded in the upcoming weeks. The option to pre-order the game will be removed and the bonus will instead be added to the base game for all
Is there going to be Early Access or Beta Access to the game?
There will not be an early access or extra beta access right now
In the blog there are the steps to how to get the refunds, I’m not copying them in case they change.
As they say, A Delayed Game Is Eventually Good, But a Bad Game Is Bad Forever /s?
I wish they used them all, especially XDG_CACHE_HOME which can become pretty big pretty fast.
disable this system security feature temporarily,
This should be - if I’m not mistaken - possible using the pip env var I posted about earlier, like this:
PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1 sudo apt install howdy
Or exporting it for the current shell, before running the installation
export PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES=1
But I personally highly discourage it, because - AFAIK - if it even works it will mess up the deps in your system.
I’m no python expert but reading around it seems your only real solution is using a virtual environment, through pipx or venv as you already had found out, or using the
--break-system-packages
* Allow pip to modify an EXTERNALLY-MANAGED Python installation
(environment variable: `PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES`)
pip flag which, as the name suggest, should be avoided.
EDIT: After rereading I got your problem better and I was trying to read the source for Howdy to see how to do it, so far no luck.
It’s an error with a dependency written in Rust, the workaround is to use an older toolchain (1.72), it is fixed in the newer code of tokenizers, but probably it is not updated in AUTOMATIC1111 yet: you should check their bug tracker

Considering you are not using the Flatpak anymore it is, indeed, strange. The only reasons I can think of are: your network manager is using the wrong network interface to route your traffic ( if you go on an ip checking site like for example ipinfo do you see yours or the VPN’s IP?) or that you have WebRTC enabled and the broadcaster is getting your real ip through that.
For the first case it can get pretty complicated, but it is probably an error during the installation of the VPN app or you set up multiple network managers and it gets confused on which one to configure. You should also enable the Advanced Kill Switch in the configuration.
For the second case you could try adding something like the Disable WebRTC add-on for firefox and check if it works. Remember to enable it for Private Windows too.
The last thing I can think of is that you allowed the broadcaster to get your real geolocation (in firefox it should be a small icon on the left of the address bar), or you are leaking some kind of information somewhere: there are a bunch of site that check for ip leak, but I don’t know if that goes too deep for you.
If you want to check anyway the first two results from DDG are browserleaks and ipleak. Mullvad offered one too but it is currently down.
EDIT: If you enable the Advanced Kill Switch, and the app is working correctly, internet will not work while you are not connected to a VPN server or until you disable the switch again, so pay attention to that.
Probably when you installed the second linux you overwrote the boot loader instead of adding a new UEFI entry point.
But I’ve never had a Mac, so take this with a pinch of salt, and honestly considering things can change based on what, in which order, and how you installed things… it could be something else.
Unfortunately, in general, people tend to just read, vote, and then forget about it without checking back: that’s why I always try to add some source or ways to verify what I post.
And - in this specific case - probably some people just like LTT, I assume.
Linus is an investor in the framework company: Source on the framework forums that links to the video on youtube
Why not directly link to the video? Because I don’t want to! :P
Could you consider using ISO 8601 style dates (YYYY-MM-DD) ? Or words for the months?
Aside from that: great job!
Because, as pointed in the page, Servo is being developed as a(n embeddable) Rendering Engine, not as a full blown end user Browser.
Its alternatives are not Chrome, Safari or Firefox, but Webkit, Blink and Gecko
There’s an example GUI called Servoshell, but it is more of a testing ground and example on how to embed the engine in an app than a serious alternative to anything currently in the market.
Already this kind of work is difficult and daunting. Adding to it a full GUI would make it completely impossible for the current size and financial backing Servo has.
Big words aside it just means that Servo wants to be only one of the parts that compose a real browser: the one that takes HTML, Javascript, WASM and translates them into the things you see on your monitor. All the user facing functionality are left to the devs of the app that embed it.
Give technitium a go, my woes diminished drastically with that.
This is getting weird.
If I would generate an image with an AI and then take a photo of it, I could copyright the photo, even if the underlying art is not copyrightable, just like the leaves?
So, in an hypothetical way, I could hold a copyright on the photo of the image, but not on the image itself.
So if someone would find the model, seed, inference engine and prompt they could theoretically redo the image and use it, but until then they would be unable to use my photo for it?
So I would have a copyright to it through obscurity, trying to make it unfeasible to replicate?
This does sound bananas, which - to be fair - is pretty in line with my general impression of copyright laws.
