In Firefox, you can disable the clipboard events. I’ve done this for the rare case of me copy+pasting a password and forgetting to clear the clipboard after.
On Android, I’ve noticed that it’s possible for apps to read from the clipboard, to read OTP tokens for example. Since I noticed that a while back, I’ve always been wary of the clipboard on any device I’ve used.
While I do agree that it’s disappointing that the game is available on Epic and not Steam (and Tim Sweeney is an assface for shitting on Linux), I’m of the opinion that this situation isn’t one that should warrant boycotting. I think being able to buy directly from the developers and have a maximum percentage of the revenue go straight to the studio is the best case.
It’s an inconvenience to have to manually add the game to the launcher/platform of choice, but it’s such a minor inconvenience to deal with given the outcome.
I understand and sympathize with the principle your expressing. However, I think it’s important to be open-minded and ultimately in support of the devs themselves over the platforms that distribute their game.
Yeah, you’re not wrong that the article kinda sets itself up for the “lookit our recommended VPNs” pitch.
There’s no way Microsoft would purposefully disable VPNs from working. I can guarantee that they require VPNs for thousands of roles in the company, let alone breaking it for government agencies that require VPNs, etc.
It is good to know that a specific update can break something ahead of time, though. Then at least you can avoid it.
There are some decent spinoffs, at least!
There are configuration files for dnf in /etc/dnf/protected.d that might have gnome-shell listed. Check that directory for a file called gnome-shell.conf. If there is, you can simply rm it and try removing gnome-shell again.
Be aware that there might be packages you have installed that depend on gnome-shell, so be sure to double check the list of dependent packages that will also be removed.
Was that a Blazing Saddles quote?
