Battlebit showing black screen and closes itself on Linux.

I’m using steam flatpak on debian 12. I tried using different versions of proton as well as protonGE.

Battlebit opens up and shows a black screen then automatically closes.

Any tips on how to fix this are welcome.

Ad blocking on android
    1. Create a free Nextdns account.
    2. Add some blocklists
    3. Use the private dns settings on your android to set the dns. (i think this feature is present in Android versions which are 9 and above)

    Voila ! you have blocked ads without wasting your VPN slot.

    As an added bonus you can also configure nextdns to block your specific phone vendor tracking as well.

    If you are interested in trying different web browsers you can check out Fennec from F-droid or Brave browser. These are my go-to browsers on android.

  • are there any apps I can use for firefish?
  • I know 2 apps

    1. Milktea
    2. Kaiteki

    Milktea seemed to work for me when I tried it when Firefish was still called calckey.social. kaiteki app just gave me a blank screen, so can't comment on that.

    Anyway, I just use the web app if I use firefish.

  • What are some smaller Lemmy / Kbin instances that are just as good as lemmy.world

    I'm just asking for recommendations in case, I feel like migrating to a smaller instance or maybe try kbin for a change (but I'll miss the voyager web app)

    Privacy with Google's Gboard
  • On my old phone i used Florisboard, it was pretty good and it's FOSS as well.

    These days I use the samsung keyboard as I recently switched to a samsung device. The keyboard customizations are really awesome, if you have KeysCafe module installed. Not sure how privacy friendly it is tho.

  • Young Koreans favor iPhones over Samsung Galaxy: survey
  • 2 months ago I bought a regular samsung galaxy s23 and it's been running great so far. I expected MIUI levels of bloat, but surprisingly it is not that bad.

    I had to disable a few samsung apps and for the most part, the phone stays out of my way and lets me do whatever i want.

    I wish the s23 lineup gets good custom rom support. Would love to run a lean LineageOS / any AOSP based rom with MicroG on this phone.

  • How are server issues in Season 17 ?
  • I was under the impression that VPNs can get one banned. Well, since you mentioned I'll give japan a go.

    Oh and what vpn's do you recommend / has had really good game experience with ? I have only used mullvad so far.

  • Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?
  • Opensuse is great. Yast was more useful than I initially thought.

    On a different note - For people who like tinkering, nixos can also be a great option, it also allows rollbacks but doesn't use BTRFS snapshots out of the box like opensuse.

  • How are server issues in Season 17 ?

    I was only able to play the start of season 17, unfortunately due to lack of time I haven't played apex in a while.

    I play on the asian servers like singapore. Season 17 felt fresh, but every single game Me and friends were being kicked out of the game or just super laggy... shots werent registering, randomly teleporting to different places..

    I understand that not everyone have faced issues like this but I'd like to know how the experience is right now. I want to start playing again this week, if time allows me to do so.

    How to get my friends to try DRG ?

    Most of my friends play FPS games like Valorant, Apex, CSGO, etc.. Recently everyone has been into some chill co-op games like Borderlands and Payday so I suggested DRG but none of them seems to like it.

    They have this misconception that, the game is just entirely mining and no shooting.

    Little do they know, I'm having a blast with fun mods and randoms.

    Right now DRG is even on steam sale..

    I'd love to know how you guys got your friends to give DRG a chance

    Confused on what fediverse apps to use

    I have recently started using fediverse apps, mostly lemmy and mastodon. So far Lemmy is the only one I use the most and kind of understand.

    On mastodon, i mostly follow news accounts (likely bots). Toots in my feed rarely have any comments.

    I have been using matrix for messaging long before i have started using other apps in the fediverse.

    A few days ago I learned about Misskey and Calckey (idk the difference between them) and would like to try those out, but I'm kind of feeling overwhelmed by all these different apps different instances and whatnot.

    Also i get the impression that there is this issue where some posts in one app is displayed very differently in another app.

    So is there a way to use any one of these apps (Calckey or misskey for example) and get all my social needs done (including messaging) ?

    I apologize, if I'm not being clear.
