whoever configured thelibre web server should be replaced, at the very least. loads as if it's on the dark side of the moon.
edit: cool article though
It's important to note that not all portals are implemented on all desktop environments. You can see this as a reference table: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal#List_of_backends_and_interfaces
You also use the portal helper from another DE though.
For example, the Niri Wayland compositor, written in Rust with Smithay, uses xdg-desktop-portal-gnome (which I imagine is written in C).
