I started journaling with a digital journal app that has fingerprint and PIN unlock, in adaddition to the ability to encrypt individual entries, with all data stored locally. It has made a big difference. I do find that I am more honest, sort of. I have a constant worry that someone would see my entries somehow. I started encrypting those entries (the really sensitive ones) and writing in a different language (I know that others could still understand it if they spoke that language, but I'm counting on the fact that it's not the majority language where I live.)

ELI5? I know Greece has/had economic struggles, but don't know what part the euro played in it.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment?

They're was a post a while back that mentioned hiring.cafe, as a service trying to be an alternative to/ better than LinkedIn. Haven't tried it myself but could be promising.

I had the same experience. Asked a local LLM about using sole Qt Wayland stuff for keyboard input, a the only documentation was the official one (which wasn't a lot for a noob), no.examples of it being used online, and with all my attempts at making it work failing. it hallucinated some functions that didn't exist, even when I let it do web search (NOT via my browser). This was a few years ago.

I'd agree with that sentiment, but at least for me, if we went with all flatpacks, i'd be losing the one ability that I like about appimages, which is as a one-time-use type of "installation". They're kind of like those windows EXEs that you could just run in place without needing to install. very useful for stuff like raspberrypi imager where I don't need to keep it around much

I use wine with winetricks for the manager and the other stuff that makes it easier. I also use q4wine. It's a GUI for wine written in Qt. Both makes things simpler to varying degrees, and winetricks does have some scripts (though I don't know how they would compare to lutris)

I did try a VPN (selfhosted OpenVPN as well as one provided by my university), but those didn't work. I did try through invidious, and it worked.

nope. mine wasn't on at the time. Just uBlock + Privacy Badger + Waterfox. Never had this happen to me before.

 

tried to open a YT link a friend sent me, and got greeted with this. Freetube and yt-dlp are also affected

I switched to QOwnNotes. It's lighter than Joplin since it doesn't use Electron. The only things I miss are highlighting (have to use an extension if I remember correctly), and LaTeX (mainly use this for mathematics formulas).
