uBlock Origin must be blocking a necessary script for the video to play. I got a video playing in a clean profile without any ad / script blockers. And I then promptly deleted that profile as that link has a "Caution" rating at Norton's Safe Web.

Do the movie sites use DRM? (Links please!) Pale Moon does not and will not support DRM. With that said, some movie sites will work with Microsoft Silverlight but since we're on Linux I don't think that's an option.

Well I would agree with the comment, yes. But I'm no expert so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, you are more of an expert than I am. But, I'd like to hear what others have to say.
#254 Re: Off-topic » Question about Linux kernel (as relates to systemd) » 2021-02-06 20:39:36
So if I'm reading your response right, you're saying the response I got on the other forum is correct?

On another forum, I made the comment that systemd violates the UNIX principle of "do one thing and do it well." Someone responded to that by saying "so does the Linux kernel." I'm not a programmer or coder or anything like that, but I have a feeling that that's an apples to oranges comparison. Am I right or wrong?

Perhaps you should ask on the PaleMoon forums. Be warned that the developers are complete arseholes though.
Why doesn't it surprise me that you of all who responded on this thread says that?

Basilisk might be different though, i believe palemoon is a derivative of basilisk ?
No. Pale Moon's initial release was October 2009. Basilisk's was November 2017.

For the Washington Post video, go to Tools > Preferences > Content, and at the bottom uncheck "Enable MSE for MP4 video." Didn't check the rest of your links, but if it's the audio that's the problem in all of them, they should all work properly now.
#259 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [Solved] On-line video viewing problem with Palemoon » 2021-02-03 22:26:10
Can you provide a link to a problem video please? A quick look over at the Pale Moon forum doesn't show anybody else having a problem with videos on the new version. Do you have any extensions that tweak video playback? Another thing to do is test a problem video in a new profile.

There's a lot of bullshit responses in this thread. The real threat here are the ones who get to decide what is (so called) hate speech and what isn't. This IS a threat to free speech.

Came across this via Distrowatch. I think this proves that Debian's vote about init systems was a complete farce.

Well, this wasn't a "dumb thread" when I started it.
Looking at how fast it went off the rails in several respects, though, I regret having opened it in the first place.
Some people, it seems, just can't have a civil discussion. And, apparently, you're one of them.

Yes, let us bow ourselves down to our overlords, Gooble and Mozilla. They have our best interests at heart. Over and out.

Did you bother to get the other side of the story?
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.ph … 56#p134236
A lot of this stuff I really don't get, I admit. But from what I can glean from it, they made some changes that weren't allowed for it to still be called Pale Moon. What's the problem with that? That would be like me getting a Ford car, putting in a GM engine, but still labeling it and selling it as a Ford, which would clearly be wrong. Am I right or am I wrong? Also, they still had the opportunity to revert what they had done so they could use official branding, or they could have kept what they did and use unofficial branding, or they could have called it a fork and used their own branding. Yet the PM devs are called the assholes? What reality are you guys living in?

@Ron, is "old and obsolete, though still actively developed, code" better?
First off, old, yes; obsolete, no, yet more misinformation. Please stop with your misinformation. To answer your question, yes older code is better. Here is why (link below). I'd like to see how you will contradict it. The author of this article co-founded Fog Creek Software. He also worked with Jeff Atwood to create Stack Overflow and served as CEO of Stack Overflow from 2010-2019. He also served as the chairman of the board for Stack Overflow, Glitch, and HASH.
#267 Re: Off-topic » Choose your browser carefully » 2020-10-30 18:38:49
Twice you mentioned that Pale Moon is based on "dead code." That is a straw-man argument. Pale Moon uses code that is actively developed by Pale Moon. Therefore, it is not dead code. Pale Moon is updated whenever there are security issues that affect it, whether said issues affect Firefox or not. That is, any security issue that may not affect Firefox, but does Pale Moon, will be fixed in Pale Moon. So don't go around saying Pale Moon is based on "dead code." That IS misinformation.
#268 Re: Off-topic » Choose your browser carefully » 2020-10-30 02:34:09
There is some misinformation about Pale Moon in this thread, so at risk of being called a lackey, I'd like to correct the record. I'll just mention one inaccuracy.
I don't disagree with many of your points, but a largely unknown browser from a one man project . . .
According to the developer,
Pale Moon is not "just me" and hasn't been for the majority of its life. There are some talented and dedicated people at work in our community to make Pale Moon what it is, and actually has seen support in many ways by many people over the years.
The above quote is from here. If you want the facts on Pale Moon, I suggest giving it a read.
#269 Re: Off-topic » Choose your browser carefully » 2020-10-27 21:41:26
There was a thread about Mozilla recently on LQ:
The trouble is, that the alternatives to Firefox are worse. The 3rd party forks are what amounts to snake oil salesmen peddling their wares. I despise the UIs of both chromium anf Firefox, but just learned to live with them and disable the telemetry / data collection where possible.
Sounds like Stockholm syndrome to me. I can't speak to other FF forks, but your comments about them don't apply to Pale Moon.
#270 Re: Other Issues » Xsane Image doesn't detect my scanner » 2020-10-17 23:50:08
Okay, I see python3-pyqt4 in Synaptic. But I don't see pyqt4-dbus (or python3-pyqt4-dbus). So I did a search of "dbus" and I see that I have the following installed:
python-dbus.mainloop.pyqt5
python-pyqt5
python-qt4
python-qt4-dbus
python3-dbus
python3-dbus.mainloop.pyqt5
#271 Re: Other Issues » Xsane Image doesn't detect my scanner » 2020-10-17 22:52:03
So I tried to install pyqt4-dbus and pyqt4, and got this message:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package pyqt4In the interest of completeness, I did not first uninstall hplip 16. Now I'm glad I didn't.
#272 Re: Other Issues » Xsane Image doesn't detect my scanner » 2020-10-17 20:41:42
It was downloaded from the hplip site. The file is hplip-3.19.5.run. Here are the pertinent parts. At some point, I get this:
MISSING DEPENDENCIES
--------------------
Following dependencies are not installed. HPLIP will not work if all REQUIRED dependencies are not installed and some of the HPLIP features will not work if OPTIONAL dependencies are not installed.
Package-Name Component Required/Optional
pyqt5-dbus gui_qt5 OPTIONAL
pyqt5 gui_qt5 REQUIRED
I type "y" and press enter. Then a bit later I get this...
DEPENDENCY AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION
----------------------------------
Running 'su -c "apt-get install --force-yes -ygtk2-engines-pixbuf" '
Please wait, this may take several minutes. . .
Running 'su -c "apt-get install --force-yes -y python-pyqt5" '
Please wait, this may take several minutes. . .
Running 'su -c "apt-get install --force-yes -y python-dbus.mainloop.pyqt5" '
Please wait, this may take several minutes. . .
error: A required dependency 'pyqt4-dbus (PyQt 4 DBus - DBus Support for PyQt4)' is still missing.
error: A required dependency 'pyqt4 (PyQt 4- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x))' is still missing.Then a few seconds later, the terminal crashes and I'm still on hplip 3.16.11.
At this point, I'm just afraid to go on thinking that I might lose the printing function with all this fiddling around.
#273 Re: Other Issues » Xsane Image doesn't detect my scanner » 2020-10-17 19:45:45
Would I run apt install -f before or after trying to install HPLIP 3.19.5?
#274 Re: Other Issues » Xsane Image doesn't detect my scanner » 2020-10-17 19:29:54
Okay, I'm taking a shot in the dark, it possible to use Debian's backports?
I found this: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/hplip
#275 Re: Other Issues » Xsane Image doesn't detect my scanner » 2020-10-17 17:57:17
Have you looked in ascii backports? Might not need to upgrade to beowulf.
It is your spellchecker that is objecting to Devuan. Just add that word and the red squiggle will go away.
Looked in the backports (here; is this the right place?), and it only goes up to hplip version 3.18.12. According to the hplip site I need version 3.19.5. So am I SOL with using my scanner? Is there any other possible way to get it working??
Offtopic: Added "Devuan" to spellchecker. Thanks golinux.
