Russians aren’t very smart. If they were, Pootin would be dead already.

Oof. I really appreciate your time, but this is exactly what I tried, and it won’t work for me. Can’t find it after I install it, and trying to run it from cli (I use Konsole) does absolutely nothing. As it states right on that page, it only supports GNOME. I’m so sorry to waste your time.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong when I try to run it. It really, really sucks because I love their email and password manager, and the vpn is amazing on my phone. But I’m not about to blow $60 a year on something that only works on my phone. They really need to work on support for KDE Plasma. A looooot of people use it, and more are every day.

Another thing I noticed is that their pgp keys there say Fedora 39… we’re all on 40 now…

Can you please link me to instructions?

I did and I can’t get it to run for some reason. I’m more of a visual person anyway, though I can work with cli if I absolutely have to, it’s just hard to find clear instructions.

I’m on Fedora KDE Plasma spin (40 and 6.1 respectively) and I need help with Proton VPN. In Discover, there is an app available for Proton, however, it is not officially supported (even though it’s put out by Proton AG) AND it’s a flatpak, which means it’s sandboxed, so, problems. I have an account with Proton, and love their email and password manager, but I’m currently only on a free account because, 1.) I don’t have the money right now, and, 2.) I want to make sure it works before I spend money on it.

So the problem is this: It works well enough, but after a short while (somewhere around 10-30 minutes) it just loses communication. I’m still connected and online, but nothing will load, no data is being transferred one way or the other; it just conks out. It also has this issue where if I switch servers “too often”, it will start asking for a password every time I try to connect to a server even though I’m already logged in, and my password doesn’t work for it. It will do this until I log out of Proton and reboot my machine, and even then it sometimes stays stuck in this asking for a password state.

I have talked with Proton’s support about this, but the only thing they will tell me is that it’s not supported because they only support GNOME Fedora and a handful of other distros. Well, I’m not switching distros right now, or anytime soon. They do have a way to use OpenVPN with their service, but it’s quite convoluted and my brain starts to melt when I try to figure it out. Plus, Proton is the only VPN that comes up in Discover.

Would Flatseal fix my issues, and if so, how do I configure it? If not, how can I get it, or another version or whatever? I just want privacy, dammit! If you can, please provide clear instructions or a link to clear instructions.

Thank you in advance!

How is it with running Steam and how is its bluetooth controller support for Xbox controllers?

Looks like Untitled Goose Game.

Yeah, but practice makes perfig perfect.

No, I know the difference between someone being giddy over finding themselves and someone doing it for attention. Unlike the fucking hexbears you see here throwing hate around, I know how to be introspective and self-reflect. I imagine it’s not uncommon for people to wonder what it’s like to be the opposite gender. My wife occasionally asks me what it really feels like to have a cock and balls. Hell, I’ve wondered what it really feels like to have a vagina and clit. But neither of us is going to change genders just to find out. It’s just natural curiosity. Trans people don’t bother me. Being browbeat is what bothers me.

Yes. So why are they bothering everyone else with it?

Remember a handful of years ago when all of a sudden everyone and their mother had a gluten allergy? That’s what this shit feels like. Yes, there are a lot of trans people out there. But I have encountered so fucking many, both on- and offline, that are just doing it to feel special.

I’m glad somebody gets it.

When did I ever say that I do or would treat them poorly? I didn’t. I said I treat them as human beings, same as anyone else. I treat everyone based on one thing, and one thing only: are they an asshole. They want to be called she/her? No problem. They’re an asshole about it? Problem.

That’s a wonderful argument. So eloquent.

That’s real productive discourse there. It answers all the questions I asked!

I have no problem respecting them as living, breathing people, but I will not feed their delusion. It is not a physical gender issue, it is a mental health issue - some sort of mental abnormality, like AD(H)D, BPD, Schizophrenia, etc. It is just an extreme form of body dysmorphia (they even call it gender dysmorphia). So why are we being forced to feed this delusion? Why are we mutilating people because of their mental illness? When someone has a mental illness, do we help them hurt themselves or others? No. We give them medication and therapy to try and get their system to function correctly. So why do we not do the same for trans people? It is not the same as being gay/les/bi/etc. That is physical and/or romantic attraction. That is not mental illness. Thinking your body is wrong or that you’re in the wrong body is. We need to stop treating it medically, and start treating it psychologically. Regardless, they are human beings and should be treated as such, with all the rights that go along with it.

Edit: How about instead of downvoting and telling me to fuck off, you answer my questions? I’m serious. I want to know why so many people get hostile when this shit is asked. Is it that hard to accept reality?

Oh, and as someone that’s part of LGBQA, I find it really strange that Trans is included in that since it’s gender and not sexuality. Especially when so many trans people complain about being fetishized.

Looking at their recent actions, they would definitely seem to be pretty fuckin dumb.

It’s a lemming.

Yup!

The human race was a mistake.
