This is how GET works, every single parameter is visible regardless of meaning.

How about https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/ ? I use it on default settings. There is a chance you can set it up to clear StarPage’s GET variables too.

But if there is an actual setting to use exclusively GET parameters by StartPage, they will just be populated again.

I miss the days of Android 4.4 so much

If we talking about modern Android, good to know. I used to run a launcher on a modded Samsung Galaxy Young (CyanogenMod11) that had a fixed notification option to prevent Android from killing it (the device had 512MB of RAM).

You used to be able to just create a fixed notification and Android would never kill the app. This is not the case anymore?

Think AI is pointless when it doesn’t apply to you?

Maybe because that actually stopped getting updated, and a fork continuing it exists?

I use Newpipe

Clash of Clans is kinda safe in this, nobody cares anymore if they get attacked as there are now so many ways to farm resources that got added after the game started dwelling in the player count.

Flatpak is definitely a possible solution. We will see how it will be managed in the future

To allow modern windows to run legacy applications a lot of caution is given to updating libraries or fully new ones are given while keeping the older ones. Also static builds are more common on Windows, or come bundled with a copy of the required libraries as .dll files.

• Let’s say an application requires libexample1. It works, the library is available too.
• Eventually the application gets abandoned, but still works.
• But eventually a libexample2 gets released that drastically changes how the library works. The program doesn’t work on this version. The older release of the library then get’s abandoned.
• Distributions now start removing the package from the repositories as the older library is slowly requiring no longer supported releases of its own dependency.
• Now application is borked

Aplication could have still worked if it came bundled with its own copy of libexample1 and of its dependencies, or was statically linked.

An example of this is Nero, a software kit for managing CD/DVD disc media. They made a build of some of their tools for Linux, meant to run on Debian 7. This builds were an experiment and got abandoned because of the very few users it had. Yet, these tools still work perfectly fine on Debian 12 despite being based on ancient libraries because it bundles all its requirements as a copy in its own proprietary blob.

I talked about caution on updating libraries on Windows. You can find many deprecated methods in any native Windows library that will likely never be removed from the library binaries, as many applications require it. The new, better and more feature rich method is given a different name instead, and is pointed out in the documentation for the older method.

Projects like FUSE are very nice for this, where an AppImave bundle of prebuilt binaries is given and can potencially not only be ran everywhere that can run FUSE but also in the future too.

Where I live they always call because we don’t have mail boxes, so they have to give the parcel personally and they call to see if you are home. If you aren’t they don’t ship it to you that day.

I got banned from Aliexpress for refusing to provide a phone number to a web page fully in chinese, and they didn’t specify why I needed to despite them claiming a phone number isn’t necessary to order

Yes

Found the problem in my case. I had a user agent changer addon let to fake Chrome 123 on Windows 10. DIsabled it and it worked.

The website will ask for a user streaming to do something in-game or play a specific game while others are watching to probably earn something either in-game or in Discord.

I feel this is fine, the “streamer” can decide to do this tasks or not. And can disable receiving the tasks at all in settings.

I tried just now as it happened again. Killing the app in use doesn’t make the keyboard work again in X11 apps.

Are you sure its a similar issue? Because usually closing the window actually doesn’t solve it, as then reopening another X11/XWayland window will still not register keyboard presses. I am adding some more info to the post right now.

KoboldCPP now pretty much can run everywhere, even without a GPU. CPU only without Cuda on a 9th Gen i7 takes around 60 seconds to create a response, depending on complexity. That is actually an alright time for not hardware accellerated usage.

Run whatever model you wanna run, I won’t judge. A lot of people use the software for mostly porn anyway alright.

I was much more inexperienced in Linux at the time, I could probably fix it now if the same thing happened again.
