On the one hand I like GOG because it has no DRM and has better prices (in my country) than Steam and I have the feeling that on the one hand it follows more the open source philosophy than Steam itself, but Steam has helped enormously to play Windows games on Linux, so I haven't really made up my mind.

On the one hand I want to buy on Steam for the convenience, but on the other hand I prefer GOG because (in my country) is cheaper. Which platform do you prefer and why?

To give an example, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is currently $15 on Steam with regional pricing, but on GOG it's worth just $6.

I know I can install it using Pacman but for that I need to create a root password and then run some command to install programs on the OS which is immutable, but honestly if all I want is to install KDE Connect I see unnecessary to do all that, isn't there a simpler way?

I already tried with flatpak but there is no KDE-Connect repository in flatpak, and following this Reddit tutorial doesn't really lead to anything since the repository seems to be dead.

Edit: KDE Connect came pre-installed in the Deck.

Usually I like to just remember the names of the artists, or use Re621 to follow my favorite artists, but every (fucking) time I enter e621 I find a thousand new artists and I can't stop scrolling, it's an endless cycle: I find an interesting image, I enter the artist's page, I spend a while checking their profile and seeing the images I like, repeat.

I don't consider it unhealthy because I don't really do it very often, BUT EVERY TIME I do it I can last a couple of hours in this endless cycle.

Suppose I play X hours on a trip when I have no internet access, and then when I have internet access I connect my Steam Deck and I would expect that if I played X hours on the trip, the hours would sync to my profile and add them to my game, but it doesn't seem to be like that, am I doing something wrong or is this a normal Steam behavior that can't be changed?

The functions that I really need the most is to press shift to zoom the images without entering them, infinite scroll and “subscriptions” and I have been researching scrips but I have not been able to find any that perform similar functions.

I used Docker Compose to install and run changedetection.io and everything's working nice, but I want to enable Playwright content fetcher so I can specify when I want to be notified, and not just to be notified when there are even changes in the code of the site.

I can toggle an option in the changedetection settings to use WebDriver Chrome/Javascript instead of the default Basic fast Plaintext/HTTP Client, but when I tried to use the Visual Filter Selection within a watched item it tells me that:

Sorry, this functionality only works with Playwright/Chrome enabled watches. Enable the Playwright Chrome fetcher, or alternatively try our very affordable subscription based service. This is because Selenium/WebDriver can not extract full page screenshots reliably.

And honestly I want to try this to myself, not to just pay a subscription and that's it. So, I keep up and read through their wiki and according to their own wiki while using a docker compose based Change Detection service (as I am) to enable Playwright content fetcher it's as simple as:

In docker-compose.yml uncomment PLAYWRIGHT_DRIVER_URL under environment, and the playwright-chrome section under services.

I already tried that and toggle the fetching method to WebDriver Chrome/Javascript, but now instead of just not letting me using the Visual Filter Selection because of while trying to fetch any site it gives me this error:

Exception: HTTPConnectionPool(host='browser-chrome', port=4444): Max retries exceeded with url: /wd/hub/session (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fa4d42417e0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution'))

But before of doing these changes I didn't receive any error message and everything works nice, so possibly I'm doing something wrong... Here is the pastebin of the docker-compose file that I edited, I won't share it here because the format fucked the whole code.

I am looking for a community to find moderators for my community and I have used several community search engines to search for communities to ask users if X community exists, but I have not been able to find any. Maybe someone in this community can help me to find out if such a community exists.

Good news, it seems that the app is still alive and its developer has not abandoned it, as commented by its developer in the official Eternity repository.

A few months ago I created Pokeyiff but for reasons beyond my power I had to abandon it and close it to prevent any situation that could occur in my absence, but I'm back and I would like to create Pokeyiff again or go back to the original Pokeyiff (yes, it seems to me that the instance admin can do that, and yes, I already asked him), but unless someone can help me to manage it, I sincerely prefer not to go ahead with my plan to open the community again.

If you are interested in helping me to manage the community I would be very grateful, so we can help Yiffit together :3

I've been using Merkuro Calendar and Kalk, and they're fine, but I'm using i3wm, and they got some weird problems like missing icons.

I want to better organize my bookmarks, but I got a lot of them and even if I already tried to be a bit more organized, they look awful to me. I try to organize them by category and by folder, but still I don't want to have 100 folders of 1 bookmark.

I have several years of Linux experience and I know how to fix my own problems, and I have experience self-hosting using Docker and Docker Compose, but I really feel that I don't know how to self-host and that I just copy and paste commands without understanding it, I would really like to learn how to self-host by myself but I don't know how I can start or with what resources for newbies I can start with.

I am interested in self-hosting several services, but the one I am currently most interested in is changedetection.io, as there are multiple such services but they all require a membership fee, and I prefer to self-host on my own.
