Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For...
I’m in the market for a Linux friendly ultralight laptop to check web apps and run terminal, nothing fancier then that. Do any cheap systems exits these days? I was looking at a chrome book but apparently the mediatek chip doesn’t play nicely with FOSS....
I use Brave pretty much just for that purpose, while I use Firefox to browse everything else.
There isFirefox PWA, but it feels like such a shitty hack (don’t get me wrong, it’s not badly made, but they’re forced by the circumstances to make a setup process that is one big headache) that I’d rather have a browser that has official and solid support and it also doubles as my browser to test web content on Blink, so it’s a win-win for me
I’m so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?
Is that so? That’s awful, theoretically websites shouldn’t store any until you actually agree, maybe except the “necessary” ones.
Anyways, I’d advise to use I still don’t care about cookies instead if you really want to use the extension, as the original has been acquired by Avast, of all companies.
For an extension that is more refined in how it handles the cookie pop ups there’s Consent O Matic, but in my experience it covers fewer websites so you’re either fine with that or contribute by reporting unsupported websites.
There’s also the uBlock Origin option, it has a filter list for cookie pop ups that should pretty much work like the first extension
It’s not a bad thing to have an antivirus, especially now that we see more viruses made for Linux specifically. I still don’t worry much myself, because the number isn’t that huge, but if there was an easy to use antivirus GUI app I think I’d try it

apologies for coming back with another question so quick, but im at a loss im trying to get a plugin that lets you show live translations of what you are saying on stream. I found a few but…its not working to say the least....
I understand that, it’s definitely more of a headache than having a native package, but it is the next best thing you can do aside from waiting for the dev or someone else to package it for your distro of choice (you might be more lucky if you’re on an Arch based system, I’m sure an AUR package will be made if it hasn’t been done already).
The distrobox setup itself isn’t really that crazy either, once you have everything ready you’ll be able to run OBS as if it was installed on your host system since you can export the programs in your containers to have a desktop entry in your DE.
Now I was trying to get all that up and running, but I’m facing issues in the installation of the plugin and I don’t know what’s causing that exactly, it may be a mismatch in the distro I chose and which one the package was actually made for, I’ll report back if I find a solution, in the meantime here’s what I did:

I have that, never had problems, Bluetooth works as well! At least with the devices that play well with Linux.
You should check out linux-hardware.org too, it has a huge database of hardware probes that can help you know what works exactly from each device, the search page is what you want: linux-hardware.org/?view=search
