Which, while rewriting it to use more palatable language, does not
change it to where it only needs lots of salt.
What about Chromium? Or let's write one ourselves!!!
Chromium has hijacked port 80 for google's exclusive use, bypassing
totally my /etc/hosts file for my local network. If I want to use it to
my local network, I'd have to convert my local net to all https access
on ipv6. I can still watch klipper running a local 3d printer with
firefox just by typing e5p or mks into the firefox address bar.
I did use chromium for that for a year or so, but no more so its been
expunged from my installs. Now my fav slicer, prusaslicer has gone to
flatpak, not AppImage as of 2.9.0 and no one can tell me how to make
that work on an amd64 with 32Gigs of ram and a 6 core I5. so I'm stuck
at 2.8.1, which is an AppImage which works but has some warts. The odd
part is that flatpaks work fine on my armbian installs, as the arm64 ff
has been a flatpak most of a year now with automatic weekly updates..
Why can't I make a flatpak work on amd64? But this is what I get: With
a link from PS290 to the executable, unpacked zip.
error: app/com.prusa3d.PrusaSlicer/x86_64/master not installed
and there is no such file available to install. Not in synaptic, nor
available on prusa's site. And I've gone thru all the upgrade steps on
prusa's site to install flatpak 4 times now. So whats the magic secret
sauce that is missing? Thank you All.
I guess that would be easier said than done.
The thing that irks me is that they have replaced my daily tour icons
on the opening screen with their obviously for sale commercial links
which now occupy many of my favorite spots with their BS links I've yet
to grace with a single click. Displacing my own popularity choices.
Color me disgruntled.
