Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.

America is a continent and Americans are people from that continent (Canadians, Usonians, Mexicans, Cubans, Argentinians, Brazilians…)

  • Well, after some very obscure search over internet, I found something that solves my issue (maybe yours too in case you want to install packages as user).

    If you use Lubuntu (I don’t know whether it works on other distributions), you have to go to the folder /home/[youruser]/.local/share/flatpak/repo/. There is a file there called config. Open it, and write something like this:

    `[core]
    repo_version=1
    mode=bare-user-only
    min-free-space-size=500MB

    [remote “flathub”]
    gpg-verify=true
    gpg-verify-summary=true
    url=https://dl.flathub.org/repo/
    xa.title=Flathub
    `

    (By the way where it says true, I set it as false, thinking that was my issue).

    Now, when I install OBS Studio as user, it lets me.

    PS: if GPG verification is set as true, make sure you downloaded the flathub.gpg file from the repo and copied it to your local folder as flathub.trustedkeys.gpg and flathub-beta.trustedkeys.gpg













  • I had to leave a Mastodon instance because it was about activism, gaza and politics the whole fucking day. So I perfectly understand what you feel. But I think there are ways and/or servers where everybody can feel comfortable. The mastodon server where I’m on right now, people talks about US stuff the whole day, and I’m very annoyed because of that because I don’t give a damn shit about US. But the admin is cool, people support Ukraine, and I follow funny stuff too.


  • Block communities spamming gaza / war / techbro

    I would agree with you if those communities were/are created to post content about gaza / war / techbro. But in most cases, those communities are generic, about news and technology, so when you block them, you also block other content that is not about gaza / war / techbro.
