My only complaint about flatpak is that updating them fails like 50% of the time for seemingly no reason, and I just have to run the update command over and over until they are all updated.

Thank you! I'll give this another try this weekend!

What lists do you have? They pretty much all came up for me. I tried it again with ublock origin to compare, but none showed up with ublock origin.

I have done that before as well. I had a native game that randomly stopped working after a borked update or something. I downloaded the proton version instead, and it worked perfectly.

I set up pihole a few months ago. I added a few dozen of the highest recommended block lists, but I wasn't impressed at all. It didn't seem very effective at blocking ads in both real world tests and tests that I found online specifically for testing your adblocker.

As a Linux gamer, I run just about everything in wine since proton uses wine.

I think it is a valid point, though. How do GDPRs even work on Lemmy? Do you need to submit one to every instance that your instance is federated with? What about transitively federated instances? Sometimes when you delete something, the delete action doesn't get federated. That's kind of terrifying. If you post something personally identifying without realizing it, then try to delete it, you might not be able to.

Imo, it's something to keep on mind when posting on Lemmy, but not a reason to not use it.

It really depends. For example, the app might not be sending data on what is happening. It might just say "event 1 happened" which triggers it to flash blue or "event 2 happened" which triggers it to flash rainbow. If there are no additional information, then the only way it could be done is by modifying the app.

And that's not even getting into creating custom firmware for the device. You would either need to get your hands on their source code for that or reverse engineer it.

I'm a firm believer that nothing is impossible, but one this is for sure, it would likely be a ton of work.

I feel like we have been saying that for 5+ years now.

I can't wait for reddit's next fuck up so we can get more folks over here!

I did this. I installed it just like usual. I did remove my existing SSD during the install so it wouldn't install grub on my Windows SSD.

My only complaint was that USB was too slow for everyday use. I can't keep track of the USB versions anymore, but it was one of the 3.1s or 3.2s. Not sure what Gen or whatever. The connector was USB type C.
