Wine 9.9 Released in c/[email protected]

Ah, that makes sense. Too bad. I have all my games on steam and haven't yet found a way to play them with the patch. I could, of course, compile proton with the patch myself, but somehow I am too stupid for that.

How did you get it to work within proton? Last time I looked, the Wayland patch wasn't yet included in proton. I'd love to use it for my games too.

Any news on wine on Wayland? I haven't heard anything in a while; is it still being worked on?

Just add HideDesktopPreviewBanner=true to the [General] section in the ~/.config/kdeglobals file and restart plasmashell with systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service or just log out and back in.

How do you watch moves while staying private? in c/[email protected]

Surprised. At your surprise.

Haha, that's hilarious.

I guess I was expecting something between €50 and €80. But certainly nothing over €100. For two years, of course.

But you have to understand that I watch a movie maybe once a month, and I do not need a VPN for anything else. Tor works totally fine for all my other needs.

Also, I do not and never did pay for any other online subscriptions, so like many of you suggested, I would not be saving money by canceling them and spending money on a VPN instead. But I can see how it might be a great option in your case.

website keeps a block-list of IPs that are known to belong to VPNs.

That's a good point; I've never thought about it this way. But if you say that one can easily find an IP that isn't blocked yet, I guess it would be fine.

Thanks, I will take a look at this.

My point is this: the cost of a VPN subscription shouldn't be compared to the cost of a subscription streaming service, because 1) they serve two very different purposes, and 2) when you break it down the VPN sub always wins. 😉

I know, and you're right. It was just meant to serve as an expression of how surprised I was by the price.

No holiday sales, no spring cleaning sales, no bulk discounts, nothing. And I view that as a positive thing.

So do I.

Apparently, people get upset when you tell them that you were surprised by something you didn't expect.

Anyway, let's not make that discussion about my view on the price of a VPN; I feel like this is kind of irrelevant.

What's more important, do you know if they blocked all those 123Movies websites? After all, this is the most important requirement I have.

So what do you do when a new movie comes out that you want to watch?

As the title says, how do you pirate your movies while staying private?

I currently use one of the multiple 123movies websites to watch all my movies. But I'd like to not have my IP on their servers, so I use the tor network to connect to them. Now, as you can imagine, this is very slow and far from ideal. Most free VPNs have blocked the websites, and I do not want to pay for one. I thought about torrents, but found no way to do that privately either. Then I thought about Startpages "Anonymous view" feature, but that breaks the website I use.

So, how do you do it? I need some inspiration. Thanks in advance.

A guide for Discord screen sharing on wayland (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Note: This was originally posted on Reddit. However, I have now decided to move the guide to lemmy and I will most likely delete the one on Reddit soon.

There are multiple options to achieve Wayland screen sharing with discord. I will cover two here.

OPTION 1 (Recommended):

There is a web-based discord client for Linux called "Webcord" that supports Wayland screen sharing. You just have to install it, open it, sign in, and you're done.

You can install it by downloading your preferred package from here or by using the flatpak version avaliable on flathub.

If you dont have flatpak set up - here is another quick guide.

That's it! You can now start screen sharing on Wayland!

In case you are interested in streaming your desktop audio as well, there is another Discord client called discord-screenaudio to do just that.

OPTION 2:

What you'll need:

Any Chromium-based browser (Firefox works too, but not as good)
Web Apps (Should be available in your distribution Store, but here is a link to their GitHub: https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager)

Step1:

Open WebApps and click on the little + icon in the bottom. Fill in the name (Discord) and the web Address (discord.com/app). The icon should apply automatically. As a browser, choose your Chromium-based browser. Then activate the switch "Isolated Profile" and click Ok.

Step2:

You now should be able to find Discord in your application-launcher of your choice. If you see discord twice, that means that you have now both the "real" Discord app and the new WebApp. Then try to launch the WebApp Discord. You now can sign in and use discord just as normal. However, there is still no Wayland support. We will activate it in step 3.

Step3: (unnecessary if you use Firefox)

While in the WebApp Discord, press Ctrl+T. A new window should appear. Then type chrome://flags in the address bar and press enter. Now search for "WebRTC PipeWire support" and change it from default to true. Now click "Relaunch" in the bottom of the window. If you have done everything right, you should now have Wayland support :)

I hope I could help you in some form, and have a nice day!

Optional: (And for more advanced users) Running the Discord WebApp without the use of Xwayland

Since Chrome version 97:

While in the Discord WebApp, press Ctrl+T. Type chrome://flags in the address bar and hit enter. Search for "Preferred Ozone platform". Change it from "Default" to "Auto". Then relaunch Discord. That's it.

Chrome Versions below 97:

Note: This is ONLY tested with arch/Manjaro and Brave. It could work on other systems and browsers too, but this is not guaranteed. So you basically just have to enable chromium Wayland flag. You can do this by creating a config file at $HOME/.config/brave-flags.conf. Do that by running nano $HOME/.config/brave-flags.conf (If you are running another browser than Brave, I guess you could replace brave with the name of the other browser, but I didn't test this). Now insert the flag --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland save it by pressing Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X. Now launch Discord again and see if it runs natively on Wayland. You can do this by installing and running xeyes (when installed, simply run xeyes in your terminal). When you move the mouse over a window and the eyes are moving, it uses Xwayland or X11. If not, you successfully activated Wayland.
