D-Bus is a system service that is used by processes to communicate with others. It's commonly used, but as users we rarely see anything of it. It's usage for programmers and sysadmins is/can be quite complicated. It looks they want to add a new simpler one. Haven't heard of varlink before, though

Something I've learned is that it will use a lot of CPU even if the video is paused.

this has been my experience with it on windows too, so it must be a core VLC thing. if it bothers you, I recommend you to try out MPV. been using it for more than a year, would never go back. If you need more than the on screen controller and key combos, there are quite a few proper GUI players being built on MPV.

if you come from Windows, liked the 10 start menu, and you want to use KDE, there's a pretty similar launcher you can use: https://store.kde.org/p/2142716

it does not have collapsible groups and live tiles, but otherwise it's pretty good I think

 

Recently there was a post where the OP pitched an idea for a service related to this community. I don't want to go into details but the post's text has shown that maybe there's some misunderstanding around the technology, and a considerable amount of us also thought that it's not a good idea.
The post was removed (noticed because I couldn't reply to someone) probably because the OP felt shame for their "failed" idea, but I think we shouldn't delete posts for reasons like this.

The post created an interesting discussion around the idea with useful info. It's useful to have things like these for future reference, for similar discussions in the future.
This is an anonymous forum, so there's no shame in recommending things, when you do that politely like it was done in that case.

or rather: oh silly you were so clumsy that you disabled recall by accident again. let us be so kind to re-enable it for you

well of course. however not everyone uses only SSDs, especially before SSDs became popular, but even today.

I think Dessalines has had some similar idea he has mentioned multiple times a few weeks ago

Though on the other hand giving fake info will make you look more unique and trackable.

will it if it's not obvious? how?

CHIPS is similar to the state partitioning mechanism implemented by Firefox. The difference is that state partitioning partitions cookie storage and retrieval into separate cookie jars for each top-level site, without a mechanism to allow opt-in to third-party cookies if desired. As browsers start to phase out third-party cookie usage, there are still valid, non-tracking uses of third-party cookies that need to be permitted while developers begin to handle this change.

so this adds a setting to allow a site access to shared 3rd party cookies, when the site supports the feature?

my impression was that it was impossible already, because there was effectively a different cookie storage for every site

Several law firms have pursued this option, one of which was sued by Valve for allegedly attempting to “extort” the company with a threat of mass arbitration with more than 50,000 people. (This lawsuit was dismissed in August without prejudice, meaning Valve could re-file.)

The idea is that the sheer number of arbitration cases would force Valve to settle with all of them with the same resolution, instead of arbitrating them all individually. Arbitration is usually less expensive than litigation, but on this mass scale, it can easily become overwhelming for the company the disputes are with. “In states like California where businesses must pay most of the arbitration fees in a consumer claim, the business would be required to pay a filing fee for each individual claimant,” Steinberg said. “With fees of approximately $1,500 per claim, a claim with thousands of individuals could cost millions in filing fees.”

 

Introduction of the first Managing Director

 

I have just installed the tmuxinator 3.0.5 ruby gem with gem 3.2.5 and the --user-install parameter, and to my surprise the gem was installed to ~/.gem/ruby/2.7.0/bin/.

Is this a misconfiguration? Will it bite me in the future? I had a quick look at the environment and haven't found a variable that could have done this. Or did I just misunderstand something? I assume that the version of gem goes in tandem with the version of ruby, at least regarding the major version number, but I might be wrong, as I'm not familiar with it.

I have checked the version of gem by running gem --version. This is on a Debian Bullseye based distribution.
