I watch the F1 on NowTV. In windows this works fine in Firefox but not in Linux. My research turned up various posts linking to the "widevine" package that depends on "glibc-widevine" but that seems to have disappeared. What happened to it? did it work? where can I get it? is there an alternative?
In the UK I think it depends how much you torrent, how often, and who your ISP is. I'm pretty sure the big main ISPs all have to be vigilant and tell their customers off for doing it. I use a small ISP, and I set my upload speed to 10Mbits and my download to half my max bandwidth. I don't seed a library of stuff just whatever is being downloaded, then I stop. So yes. I'm a leech and have been for years. No VPN. However we only torrent when we can't get something on a service we already pay for so not more than 3 times a week.
tl;dr - in the UK use a small ISP and stay below the radar and you'll be fine.
I've been using Linux for about 7 months now and have become a lot more comfortable using the terminal but I feel like there is more that I can learn....
This seems like bullshit to me. I've not seen anyone complaining their VPN isn't working. And any business with staff using VPNs would not be happy if they managed to let that update get applied.
I'm on Pixel 7 and current Firefox, but it won't install. It Just says "no app found to open xpi files"
Edit: fixed. Have to engage Dev options. Settings > About > tap the Firefox icon a few times. Then go back to settings and you'll see the "install add-on from file" option.
Not everything actually requires a GUI, obviously. But anything that requires configuration, especially for controlling a hardware device, should have a fully functional GUI. I know Linux is all about being in control, and users should not be afraid to use the command line, but if you have to learn another bespoke command syntax...
What happened to glibc-widevine ? ( aur.archlinux.org )

Is it possible to safely torrent without a VPN?
Funds are limited at the moment and i'd rather not have a monthly subscription to worry about....

Microsoft's latest Windows update breaks VPNs, and there's no fix ( www.pcworld.com )

Hey Linux devs - Build a GUI or gtfo
