Well Firefox recently integrated a full webpage translation, fully done local on your system. It works pretty well in my experience.

Linux@lemmy.ml•GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux
0·2 months agoIt’s actually surprising that this is not configurable already. At least in a GUI.

Linux@lemmy.ml•GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux
0·2 months agoThen I tell you something that might either blow your mind or be useful in future (or just being fun fact):
On Linux there is the regular copy/paste clipboard, which you already know how it works. But then there is this primary clipboard called primary selection too, that is independent from normal clipboard. Text will be copied to primary selection when you select a text (in example in Firefox). Just by selection the text with the mouse is enough and it will not affect the normal clipboard. Then you can middle click the text from primary clipboard.

Linux@lemmy.ml•GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux
1·2 months agoThe essence of the article:
The discussions, visible in Mozilla’s Phabricator revision D277804 and a linked GNOME gsettings-desktop-schemas merge request, focus on disabling the traditional primary selection paste by default.
Mozilla proposes changing the default behavior of the Firefox browser on Unix builds so that pressing the middle mouse button no longer pastes text by default.
The functionality will be there and can be enabled. The reasoning:
The author of the revision frames the current behavior as a source of confusion and accidental pastes, especially when users press the middle button without expecting the clipboard contents to be inserted into text fields.

Linux@lemmy.ml•PSA: Nvidia drivers 580 broke gaming on sway / wlroots for me
0·2 months agoGamescope works on Wayland too nowadays.
Well, that’s one thing with Flatpak. There is a permission system, as the applications are fully or partially sandboxed. You can install “Flatseal”, that can change permission for each installed Flatpak application. But it can be confusing or hard to understand what you have to change in order to make it work. Or maybe the application itself is not packaged correctly as a Flatpak, I don’t know.
I trust System76 more than I do trust GNOME.
I don’t understand what to manage about dotfiles. You mean backups?

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Steam app is now 64-bit only on systems that support it, 32-bit support enters final countdown — 32-bit users will stop receiving updates in 2026English
0·2 months agoWhat’s the benefit, besides having older 32-bit libraries installed and be dependent on them? I mean is there any other technical benefit of 64-bit only? It could use more than 4gb of RAM, but for Steam itself this shouldn’t be needed.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•World of Warcraft lead thinks the MMO will still be "kicking" in 10 years, but despite having ideas for "the very long run," Blizzard is currently focusing "on the next 5 years"English
0·3 months agoAs long as enough people play and buy subscription each month, it will still be available. Look at Runescape, its also still kicking. I wonder if Runescape or WoW will die first. Imagine the last servers getting shutdown…

Linux@lemmy.ml•Tor and Tails Merge to Fight Global Surveillance and Censorship
0·1 year agoAccording to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_(operating_system)
Tails was first released on June 23, 2009. It is the next iteration of development on Incognito, a discontinued Gentoo-based Linux distribution.[9] The original project was called Amnesia. The operating system was born when Amnesia was merged with Incognito.[10] The Tor Project provided financial support for its development in the beginnings of the project.[8] Tails also received funding from the Open Technology Fund, Mozilla, and the Freedom of the Press Foundation.[11]

I don’t understand what the problem here is. But why the option exists? If someone does not care, then why would someone have any say in such an option? You can’t enforce people to care.
