And I’ve just gotten used to Dvorak…

Why does the faucet look like a telephone lol

I recently tried to do that but after hours of trying l had to give up. If there’s a way, I’d really like to know too.

Ah, that makes sense. Too bad. I have all my games on steam and haven’t yet found a way to play them with the patch. I could, of course, compile proton with the patch myself, but somehow I am too stupid for that.

How did you get it to work within proton? Last time I looked, the Wayland patch wasn’t yet included in proton. I’d love to use it for my games too.

That’s good to hear, thanks!

Any news on wine on Wayland? I haven’t heard anything in a while; is it still being worked on?

Just add HideDesktopPreviewBanner=true to the [General] section in the ~/.config/kdeglobals file and restart plasmashell with systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service or just log out and back in.

Surprised. At your surprise.

Haha, that’s hilarious.

I guess I was expecting something between €50 and €80. But certainly nothing over €100. For two years, of course. 

But you have to understand that I watch a movie maybe once a month, and I do not need a VPN for anything else. Tor works totally fine for all my other needs.

Also, I do not and never did pay for any other online subscriptions, so like many of you suggested, I would not be saving money by canceling them and spending money on a VPN instead. But I can see how it might be a great option in your case.

website keeps a block-list of IPs that are known to belong to VPNs.

That’s a good point; I’ve never thought about it this way. But if you say that one can easily find an IP that isn’t blocked yet, I guess it would be fine.

Thanks, I will take a look at this.

My point is this: the cost of a VPN subscription shouldn’t be compared to the cost of a subscription streaming service, because 1) they serve two very different purposes, and 2) when you break it down the VPN sub always wins. 😉

I know, and you’re right. It was just meant to serve as an expression of how surprised I was by the price.

No holiday sales, no spring cleaning sales, no bulk discounts, nothing. And I view that as a positive thing.

So do I.

Apparently, people get upset when you tell them that you were surprised by something you didn’t expect. 

Anyway, let’s not make that discussion about my view on the price of a VPN; I feel like this is kind of irrelevant. 

What’s more important, do you know if they blocked all those 123Movies websites? After all, this is the most important requirement I have.

So what do you do when a new movie comes out that you want to watch?

Interesting. What is that “private torrent tracker”? How exactly do you download from it?

That’s what I tried at first, but they blocked the website I use.

is at odds with

I just didn’t expect it to be this much. After all, two years of this would cost me €120. I expected it to be more like €50. So I guess in this case, it is about the money; after all, there is a reason why we pirate ;)

Personally, I prefer to give my money to Mullvad than to Netflix.

Don’t worry, so would I. There is no way I’m supporting this company. It was just supposed to be a comparison. 

Thanks, that might be an idea. I would still definitely prefer a way to do it for free, but as a last option, I’ll look into this. Edit: Just found out that it costs €5 per month, no matter what. I could almost buy Netflix from that…

While that would probably work, as I already said, I do not want to pay for one. It’s less about the money but more about that I’d have to give them all my information - my name, credit card details and so on. And I am not willing to do that, as a VPN is only private until the government or whoever asks for all your data, which would include the Website and the fact that I visited it.

Well that’s that then. I also have no idea what to try anymore… I guess you’ll just have to wait until some random update fixes the issue. Sorry.

Edit: Since you reinstalled everything, I think it could be some cache on your system that went bad. That would explain why both the Flatpak and native versions don’t work and why the rest of your system works. But I have no idea where that cache might be…

This just can’t be…

After some deep digging, I found one last Idea. Try launching steam with the -vgui flag and let me know if that works.

I use the Firefox flatpak on multiple different desktops and distros and I’ve never seen this issue. All on wayland (no difference on x11 either). Weird.
