Fixing wrongly set environment variable in Flatseal (when Flatseal won't run)?

SOLVED: BananaTrifleViolin's post contains the solution.

Flatseal won't start by itself anymore, which is a known issue. I got it running by running

 undefined
    
GSK_RENDERER=gl com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

  

and inspired by a response in the above linked issue, I wanted to add GSK_RENDERER=gl as a variable in Flatseal so I could open it without having to manually run this in the terminal.

However, I seem to have screwed that up, and written GSK_RENDERER=ng instead, because the application still won't run, and now I get the following output anytime I try to open it by the method above:

 undefined
    
(com.github.tchx84.Flatseal:2): Gsk-WARNING **: 22:09:54.997: Unrecognized renderer "ng". Try GSK_RENDERER=help

Solution to youtube-dl (yt-dlp) IP bans?

I'm getting IP-banned using yt-dlp. It seems that this is a known issue. Have any of you run into this, and if so, what has been your solution?

I currently use a VPN via a VPS. I am able to view youtube via the web client and use youtube-dl without VPN, but I am only unable to get through using the CLI on the VPN. I have also tried fiddling with some CLI args (like --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=web") but that is also unsuccessful.

My next step is to try signing up for mullvad to see if I can get around it that way, but would like to hear if this is affecting existing mullvad users.

Open to hearing other solutions as well. Thanks!

Why are there no playback controls in LibreOffice Impress?

I'm a user of Impress, and I have a bunch of friends that have settled on it for their presentations, too.

We are generally happy, but for the video side. When you insert a video in your presentation, there is no way to pause and rewind, look for a point of the video. It is a known issue, open for 10 years, and we were wondering if there is a fundamental reason or obstacle for this feature.

Firefox @lemmy.ml

Firefox won't let me paste my clipboard in Whatsapp and turns out I have to "refresh it" i.e., "reset it"

edit: Yeah, the problem has worsened.

So yeah, I wanted to paste a video on chatbox of a friend on Whatsapp web but I wasn't able to. When I tried to find a solution for it, I found this (Mozilla forums link) and it says, I have to reset my firefox browser. Now, my firefox is pretty customized, is there a way to save the extensions I have downloaded and their settings before I purge everything basically?

I use Linux btw, but, this is not Distro specific. If you follow the forums link, you would see that that guy was using some shitty distro called Windows 10

PS: I love firefox and can never bring myself to use Chrome, but this has been a utter waste of time and I wish I didn't have to do this. This wasted a lot of time.

a summary of our recent activity

hello! as you might have noticed I haven't been able to post the changelog lately, so I figured I'd write a news thread:

  • as usual we released a new LW version for each FF stable.
  • I just added a bunch of documentation entries, most notably:
    • accessibility and why you might want to disable it, even though we don't by default.
    • how to use KeePassXC when you install both it and LibreWolf as Flatpak.
    • how to install uBO if you're in a country where the addons store is blocked.
    • full list.
  • WebRTC should work a bit better now, you should experience less breakage.
  • we maintained our usual set of patches across each release.
  • this epic contains a bunch of solved issue we have been ironing out during the past few release cycles.
  • in the next release we finally expect to fix the weird new tab issue on linux and the unre
