I use it in my normal Firefox setup, but I've been playing with Mullvad browser and I've kept everything to the defaults so I have a good option when I want a little more anonymity without needing the nuclear option (Tor) for sensitive-ish-but-really-not-all-that-sensitive browsing.

I'd like to add Redirector into the mix, and my inclination is that it shouldn't affect the fingerprint because everything is handled clientside from start to finish with that add-on, and the redirect is handled before the browser even connects to the redirected site. With that said, I'm honestly not 100% sure if simply adding an extension of any kind would be enough to change the fingerprint and cause me to lose out on some of that sweet, sweet herd anonymity.

Anyone know the answer to this that can fill me in? I would appreciate it. :)

Is anyone here familiar with using DoubleDouble? It seems like you can download from a bunch of services, but you can only search from Spotify or Apple. Is that correct?

I am trying to track down an album in FLAC format that is not on Spotify or iTunes, but it is on Amazon Music, yet DoubleDouble can't seem to find it even if I paste in a direct link to the album. Am I doing something wrong, or is that just how it works?

Hi! I have some newb-ish questions, and I was hoping some Fedora veterans could help me out.

I have been using the KDE spin of Fedora since 36, and I love it. I distro-hopped for years, but I have not had any interest since landing on Fedora. I have been using the KDE spin because I love KDE. I love how lightweight yet feature-rich and customizable it is. It can really be anything I need it to be, and it's amazing.

With that said, there are two recent happenings that have made me question whether I should switch to the original GNOME version:

1. I've been having some minor issues lately with F39, like audio not working after I reboot, so I had to eeventuakly remove it altogether and use pipewire, which has been working better. Nothing big, but minor issues like that. I've heard that the GNOME version performs better and is more stable/has less bugs, but idk if there's any truth to it?

2. I have an Nvidia GPU. Wayland support is pretty bad for me, and I've been relying on X11 all this time. Recently, it was confirmed that Fedora will be dropping X11 support altogether in F40. I'm wondering if anyone out there has used both KDE and Gnome with an Nvidia GPU that can tell me if there's any difference in Wayland performance?

I kinda don't want to switch to GNOME, because I love KDE, but if it will make my experience better, then I think it's probably worth a shot.

I've been watching Gal & Dino, and idk if I like it yet or not, but I really like the juxtaposition of a more silly, western style cartoon dinosaur that lives with an anime girl. lol

Are there other animes that combine different art styles for comedic effect that are good?

I was just accessing some files off a portable HDD and my power went out due to a storm. When it came back on, my HDD wouldn't mount anymore. I booted into my Windows partition and had it scan and repair the drive, and thankfully it works again.

But I'm wondering--did I have to boot into Windows for that? Does Linux have any such utility?

Can anyone recommend me a good casual-competitive FPS?

Overwatch was one of my all-time favorite games, but I just don't like OW2. I tried, it's just not the vibe anymore for me. I tried a couple other hero shooters, like Team Fortress 2, which I couldn't really get into. I've been thinking back to when I was last really into a shooter, and it was probably the original Modern Warfare 2 or Black Ops 2. Before that was Halo 3. I did also like Advanced Warfare when that came out.

These days, all of the popular modern shooters seem to be battle royals, which are fine (I liked Apex a lot for a while), but it's not really what I'm looking for. Beyond that, they're often F2P but loaded with microtransactions and shit. I am just so sick of that pricing model, I just want to pretend like it doesn't exist. lol I'm fine buying a game outright, but if there's a bunch of DLC or in-game currency of any kind, I'm out.

I'm also not looking for something like CS where everyone you play with is god-tier and is doing trick shots, cause that's frustrating.

So I guess I'm looking for a classic COD/Battlefield-ish FPS with the modern touches (like leaning around corners, etc.), that's either paid or free but does not paywall any content. It can be newer or older as long as it's not hard to find matches online. I'm also not super picky about art direction, but it'd be cool if it had good graphics.

Aaaand the icing on the cake: if it can run on Linux (natively or via proton), you get infinite bonus points. It's not a total deal-breaker if I have to switch to my Windows partition, but I do prefer Linux.

I know that's a tall order. Is there anything good in 2023 that would check most of these boxes?

#PCGaming

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 running stock Android 13 and I've paired a real Wiimote via Bluetooth and confirmed that it is connected. In Dolphin (ver 5.0-19870), I've set my Wii input to "Real WiiMote" and I've plugged in a USB sensor bar.

I can navigate dolphin with the Wiimote + Nunchuck (I can navigate the game select menu with the joystick on the nunchuck or the D-pad and launch a game with the A button), but for some reason, none of the input works in-game. The B button will open and close the in-game Dolphin menu and the Home button will minimize the Dolphin app and take me back to my launcher, but that's it. I can't interact at all otherwise.

It doesn't give me any options to configure the Wiimote's controls, unless I'm emulating a Wiimote. With the "Real Wiimote" option, I can't seem to configure anything.

Does anyone know what the problem might be or how I can fix it?

Thank you!

Gentlemen, it is with great displeasure that I must inform you that we're doing it wrong.

I know Daijisho automatically scrapes, which is cool, but I'm not always crazy about the way it scrapes box art. I have an emulation station setup on my PC and I'd really like to copy the box art images from there and import them into Daijisho, but I can't find where those images are stored on my Android device (Retroid Pocket 2+, if it matters).

I know you can fix them individually, but it'd be way easier if I could do it in bulk.

Does anyone know how to do this or if it's possible?

EDIT: Okay, it looks you (kinda) can do it! You have to go one platform at a time, but you can move your pictures to your device's storage, hit the edit icon on a platform in Daijisho, and select "Import Preview Media" at the bottom. You will have to select Box Art, Title Art, and Screenshot folder seperately for each system, but it's still a lot faster than doing individual games.

Has there been any update on when the kbin API will be available? A few weeks ago, I heard it would be "a few days," and haven't heard anything since.

#ArtemisApp

I'm trying to rename a bunch of files by removing all parenthetical from the file name EXCEPT if they contain a specific word.

For instance, say these are my files:

• File 1 (Boop) (Ver 1).file
• File 1 (Beep) (Ver 2).file
• File 2 (Soup).file
• Another File (Seep).file
• Yet Another (Ver 5).file

I want to KEEP any parenthetical with "Ver" and a number, but I want the rest gone.

So it should look like:

• File 1 (Ver 1).file
• File 1 (Ver 2).file
• File 2.file
• Another File.file
• Yet Another (Ver 5).file

I can write \(.*\) for Find and leave Replace blank to get rid of anything parenthetical, and it works great.

So I tried \((?!Ver).*\) and a bunch of alternatives, but it gives me the same result of just removing all parentheticals (even the ones I want). I have tried lookaheads, lookbehinds, and a bunch of syntax tweaks, but I always either end up with no parentheticals or all of them.

Any suggestions?
