  • Droid-ify is an F-droid frontend, that is also in F-droids repo as an installable app so it’s safe, in this case one of the F-droid repos OP has is actually malicious and is installing a modified version of Signal, the package name is wrong org.thoughtcrimes.securesms, it should be thoughtcrime without the S.

    I think Play Protect is intrusive, but this time it actually tried to protect OP from a malicious Signal clone.


  • I use Wayland on an AMD RX 6700 XT. I use Wayland because if you have multiple monitors with different refresh rates, xorg only allows the desktop compositing to run at the framerate of the lowest monitor. I had a 60, 75, and 144hz monitor but compositing ran at 60 fps (games ran fine because compositing is disabled and can run full framerate while playing). Wayland can run desktop compositing at full framerate for each monitor so it doesn’t have that issue.

    Afterwards, now that I no longer have the 60hz or 75hz monitors (144 is now my lowest hz monitor) it wouldn’t affect much to use either one, but I still use Wayland because it runs well on my hardware.

    There might be a workaround or some other way to fix that, and I might’ve worded some of that a bit wrong, but Wayland was the fix for me in that situation.



  • I don’t have it but I’ve seen admin/dev comments on this, with 1.0 release they plan to add offline singleplayer, and currently online is required on character select/launch, but losing internet connection during play will not kick you out or interrupt it.

    I’m keeping my eye on it and will probably pick it up when offline singleplayer is added, but that being included is the deciding factor on if I’ll get it or not myself, since it’s just a promise for now and those can be broken.

    Edit: apparently its already added according to other replies







  • I think if the ability to buy something (from the provider, not ebay/secondhand or whatever) on a valid platform, at a reasonable price, without any BS (ex: bad anticheat/the cracked version provide a better service/etc), and if you can genuinely afford it, then it’s better to just buy the thing. I also believe in supporting indie companies and solo devs, they usually provide fair access anyway but if I can’t get something from them I just go without.

    Outside of that, fair game in my opinion. If the seller doesn’t provide fair access to something, they’re basically asking for it.

    If someone just doesn’t want to pay, fair game to them as well even if I’m not a fan of that. My views are just what I hold myself to, not what’s right or wrong for everyone.






  • I’m a Debian user but I’ve been eyeing Tumbleweed though I’m a bit hesitant around bleeding edge rolling release models (not very shocking considering that I use Debian). Slowroll looks like exactly the kind of thing I’m wanting out of a desktop OS, I’ve thrown it onto a VM for now to mess around with it and will be watching news around it.

    If Slowroll gets some traction/sticks around it might be what makes me switch, at least on first impressions it seems very promising.




  • It’s because it has offline updates enabled in Discover settings, its not a distro thing rather that Gnome and KDE have that in their software centers as a setting, and Fedora enables it by default, but it can be disabled.

    It’s to make your system more stable because no packages get moved or updated during a running system causing unexpected behavior, and you also don’t have to reboot when it tells you, it’s more just a reminder that updates are waiting to be applied when you do, they could really word that better.
