I'll check that out thanks. Any issue having it and the official client? Being that I installed some from the main app, would droid ify be able to take over updating them all without uninstalling and reinstalling

Droid-ify still shows permissions

Yeah if you read my other reply I meant it as it often just fails silently with wine, I'll open an exe, it'll do something in the background, and then nothing happens. No errors, no explanation of what went wrong..

I was dubious. "What could this possibly do" I thought, "that yt-dlp can't?".

I pointed it at a video on Substack that I've been wanting to watch offline (that platform is just shite) and after a little getting tripped up by the UI... boom. 1hr of video just in my Downloads/ folder.

Thanks. This is pretty great.

That never seems to work with wine

Wine has nothing to do with double clicking. You can set up your desktop environment to do this if you want. Wine requires environments to run apps (aka wine prefixes), and the way I do it is I reuse one environment as much as I can.

Nowadays, I just reuse the wine prefixes Heroic creates, since it usually installs a good chunk of dependencies. Lazy, but it works and saves disk space.

Not that I know of. I’ve tried with multiple wine and proton versions and some apps just never work. They install and launch but they can’t do anything to the hardware

I'm not convinced a clean-room build stays clean when you're testing black-box against something that moves as much as 24H2, because it depends entirely on where you draw the line around each behaviour. What's the plan for keeping that line honest as the codebase grows?

That's the most important info, thx!

@corvus Well, usually just start playing a video then open the extension, it should appear there!

I installed it but I don't see how you start the download of a video

i just downloaded it, thank you for building this!

It seems to differ on desktop vs mobile

Spectacle is nice but if I haven't restarted the PC for a few days, it takes about a minute to react to the hotkey

Honestly the only real problem that's holding me back from using Matrix for everything is that it's really inconvenient (for non technical people) to set up an additional device, as you have to verify it.

I've had to walk too many people through this.

It has the "recommended" add on badge on the extension page.

I believe they mean this badge on the extension page.

Oh cool thats useful. Downloaded

There is no recommendation from firefox. What is your source for that claim?

i've done it and it requires a bit of setting up for each app. at least the way i did it.

something like steam that dynamically downloads protonfixes and the best version of wine for the game in question without any of my input, except for double clicking desktop apps would be legit amazing.

There's ways around that with wine isn't there?

I thought you could already do that with WINE?

Any programs that interact with hardware won’t work still. Like the 8bitdo app and asrock led thingy for my gpu.

I don't need something "just like Matrix". E2EE in Matrix sucks and we had to remake several rooms on the FAF Matrix because a bunch of people couldn't read anything. I need something that actually works most of the time and doesn't have constant and myriad problems. the fact that most of fedi uses Matrix is even more regrettable considering the plethora of mature alternatives that work well and are stable.

Any news?

Well, it's still early, so we won't know yet how friendly, robust / stable and compatible it will be. I expect not every program will work regardless of whether you have installed the right version of the libraries or not. In the tests they are doing they say VLC for example is not starting up.

I also think that the stats showing it running better than Wine might be a bit premature too.. it's not impossible for the performance to get worse when more gets implemented in order to have wider support. But we'll see, maybe it does result in a better approach.
