So been moving around a lot with browsers, waterfox, librewolf and very recently degoogle chromium, figured id look at Firefox and holy theres less than half the option in setting then there were afew years back but I gotta say the biggest sin is that adding custom search engine is obfuscated, and the chooses of engines are google, bing, duckduckgo and fucking Amazon! Wtf is that about? But anyway all these search engines are pretty awful including duckduckgo but beyond that the browser scene is a joke, mullvad are about the only company I feel compatible with using now

Edit: instead of saying how easy it is to add custom search engines, I'd like to know why the "add search engine" feature in settings is gone?

So I've got cyberpunk phantom liberty 2.0 but to update to 2.1 heroic game launcher wants me to download the hole game again, gog galaxy through wine is not an option so I'm looking at xdelta3 and innoextract to manually patch game files. But I'm hitting a break wall and seems to fail with every attempt using xdelta3

Paste code to text file .sh extension and run script in the directory where jc141 are present, also install dialog

#!/bin/bash

# navigate to the directory containing the .sh files
cd "$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")" || exit

# directory containing the game directories
games_dir="$PWD/"

# check if the games directory exists
if [ ! -d "$games_dir" ]; then
echo "error: The 'games' directory does not exist."
exit 1
fi

# initialize the dialog menu options
menu_options=()

# loop through subdirectories in the games directory
for game_dir in "$games_dir"/*/; do
if [ -d "$game_dir" ]; then
# extract the parent directory name as the game name
game_name=$(basename "$game_dir")
        
# check if any of the specified .sh files exist
if [ -f "$game_dir/start.w.sh" ] || [ -f "$game_dir/start.e-w.sh" ] || [ -f "$game_dir/start.sh" ] || [ -f "$game_dir/start.n.sh" ]; then
# add the game name to the menu options
menu_options+=("$game_name" "Run $game_name")
fi
fi
done

# use dialog to display the menu
choice=$(dialog --title "Select a game:" --menu "Games:" 30 30 15 "${menu_options[@]}" 2>&1 >/dev/tty)

# check if the user selected a game and execute it
if [ -n "$choice" ]; then
selected_game="${choice#* }" # extract the selected game name from the choice
selected_game_dir="$games_dir/$selected_game"

# determine which script exists and set the selected_game_script accordingly
if [ -f "$selected_game_dir/start.w.sh" ]; then

So I finish phantom liberty where v sides with songbird and puts them on the rocket after killing reed, I'm actually pretty happy with how it played out while also being somewhat sad but for me and my ending I think v dies in a slow burn with johny eventually gaining full control, unlike v though I agree with most of johnys actions. Great dlc cdpr! An emotional rollercoaster. When songbird confesses to lying all I had going through my head was "let's get this sociopath on the rocket"

I'll probs end the game with panam when I want an actual ending

With UK's new security bill that seems to more dismantle security rather than help. Am I still legally okay to use signal, VPN, tutanota, https, tor?

I've spent the last year learning Linux and coding, I had used windows for years and only used Ubuntu 12 for very short stints, and as for coding i was clueless, now ive a basic understanding but im getting there. Anyway thank you to all the maintainers, devs and community
