Aw. Somehow missed it.

Generally, abusers make a lot of money, and sometimes can end up being louder than the actual victims. Because they make a full time job of being loud. Good luck getting your psychiatry victim association to the com budget of scientology.

Or competing with alpha-male-mindset-influencers who spend all their income on finding brand new ways of turning bad breakups and loneliness into various sales. I think they get by far the most public attention on those subjects, might be wrong.

There’s a bunch of similar situations with companies selling well-being stuff, conspiracy theorist news sites, etc.

I just wanted to point out it’s a general thing

There’s a note on the Flathub page that it requires permission to your home folder, so this should be granted automatically. Maybe they made an update since you had the issue?

In most cases the sandboxing should not require user intervention. Apps can either use the native file picker (which gives them access to selected files) or list which directories they want to access in their manifest. If an app tells you to select a file by path-in-text-input or homemade file picker, but doesn’t have permission to the relevant directories, that’s a config issue on the packager’s side.

You should install Signal as Flatpak. It should be available through the app store if you are on Mint. Otherwise see https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.signal.Signal

Do not consult companies websites for how to install on Linux if you can avoid it, they will nearly always break your setup. Just head for the app store and click the big green button.

They probably gave up on preventing cheat entirely, and are just trying to reduce the amount of cheaters by making cheating as annoying as possible.

I do actually believe them when they say that cheating on Linux can be made significantly easier and more comfortable than on Windows. I think it’s a real fundamental issue for Linux, multiplayer games with toxic playerbases can be unplayable due to users being able to do what they want. They would have to make systems to allow for playing in smaller human-moderated servers, or rely purely server-side solutions

No? I just said it would be nicer if you precised the name of the distro when you have an issue. This way I’m less likely to recommand an unstable distro. That’s it.

You obviously can’t be expected to know what distro is stable or not, I don’t either

It’s not proton that is exploited. It’s the kernel itself that cannot be monitored by anti-cheats, meaning cheaters could install a modified kernel to mess with the anti-cheat

You should give the name of the distro rather than just say modern. Ubuntu is “modern” and they broke the auto-updates for everyone some months ago. It’s more about stability than modernity

If he did, it wouldn’t make things any better. Don’t even give them the idea. “Look, I have nothing to fear from the cops because I agree with the cops, be like me, and nothing bad will happen”

Aren’t they getting, like, at least a tiny bit of backlash for this shit?

It helps I guess ? Making some of the conditions more likely makes the sum* of all conditions more likely

*math vocabulary may be approximative

Hey so, is this a normal thing in meta analyses ?

We identified 46 studies for inclusion in our analysis. Of these, 27 studies reported positive associations (significant links to NDDs), 9 showed null associations (no significant link), and 4 indicated negative associations (protective effects).

27+9+4 is 40 I think ? What happened to the 6 other papers ? I’m always confused by the whole “we ignored half of the studies and we won’t tell you why”, if they can also ignore some of the 46 studies they selected, what does the 46 number mean ?

If you already have the correct version of the flatpak installed, you can try flatpak build-bundle.

flatpak build-bundle LOCATION FILENAME NAME where

• LOCATION is the path of the repo on disk. Run flatpak info -l org.kde.arianna, and copy the part before /app
• FILENAME is the output file name, preferably .flatpak. Eg: arianna.flatpak
• NAME is the name of the app, here org.kde.arianna

The generated file can be installed with a double-click, or with flatpak install <file>

This is the equivalent of an Android .apk. It contains the app but depends on a runtime. If you want to install it in a few years, odds are the runtime will no longer be available. You can backup the runtime the same way with the --runtime option.

flatpak build-bundle --runtime LOCATION FILENAME NAME where

• LOCATION same as earlier
• FILENAME eg arianna-runtime.flatpak
• NAME is the name of the runtime, which you can get with flatpak info --show-runtime org.kde.arianna

This takes a while, for some reason. Maybe it’s compressing stuff?

The runtime is installed the same way as the app: double click or flatpak install.

Note: I only did this once, and not specifically on Arianna. Hope it works.
