Help with uploading images on Linux Mint & Librewolf
So when I upload an image on certain sites the Image "uploads" but it comes out as a solid or staticy colours & looks nothing like what I uploaded.
this really became a problem when I made some new PFPs for my Online Accounts, Glomble & Here took them fine but WAFRN & Bluesky who took the previous images fine just showed the weird stuff even though when they allowed be to crop the image it looked perfectly fine, any advice?

French pirate/torrent sites?

The fediverse community is !tipiak@anarchist.nexus
Tipiak is a kinda slang way of saying pirate. It comes from an old tv ad from a food company named Tipiak. 3 old grandma screamed "pirate !" after discovering that the food tastes the same as their own secret family recipe (supposedly). It became sort of a meme and is used to say pirate. As the French language is not difficult enough for our English neighbours, we started to conjugate the word: Ce soir je vais tipiaker ce film (tonight I’m going to pirate (download) that film).
The same word is used in the answer from @obercail@jlai.lu with even a new variant: Tipiakeries (pirate thingy)
The two main French torrents tracker (private tracker) are:
- yggtorrent.org/ (domain tld change regularly)
- la-cale.space/ (recently created after bad decision by ygg, and growing)

Experience with hosting a public Invidious instance?
I just finished setting up the hardware infrastructure to start hosting but I cannot find any specific information in the official documentation on how to set up a public Invidious instance. I understand the guide as far as just hosting an instance and watching YouTube through that goes, but how do I, for instance, give it a publicly searchable domain name that - in the best of worlds - is listed on Invidious' website?
I assume there is a better way than to start posting my instance's IP address throughout any forums that I might be active on?

As diminou mentioned, do your research before you go down this road. You can also open yourself to DMCA takedowns if you aren't careful.
See: docs.invidious.io/hide-instanc…
It would be better for you to just run a private instance initially. You can use tailscale if you want to be able to access it remotely. That's the safest way to start out.
Edit: There's a tutorial here if you are intent on doing it: fedfree.org/docs/http/arch-inv…
Thanks for the tutorial! For now, I'm looking into connecting to my instance with a simple wireguard tunnel, if I decide to just have a private instance.
I already read Invidious' documentation. 👍
The reason I'm asking about a public instance is because I want to share my bandwidth with y'all with more than torrenting, an I2P router and Tor bridges. 🙈
it's so wild that she never wants to eat them. I'm eating them! I know it's yummy! oftentimes it's stuff with fish or chicken, which she knows the taste of! but never even goes for a nibble, just a sniff.
Honestly quite happy that she's very stupid. The only way she knows what food is, is if it is in her bowl.

How to revert Firefox’s latest changes to address bar suggestions
tldr; Firefox changed the order in which suggestions appear when you start typing in the address bar. It used to show previously visited websites first. Now it prioritizes its own suggestions.
To get back to the old behaviour, navigate to about:config, search for the key browser.urlbar.showSearchSuggestionsFirst and change the value to false.
Reverting Firefox's recent URL bar suggestion order change
In a recent update Firefox changed the order of it's URL bar suggestions order to make search suggestions appear first before recently visited URLs. This is annoying so I changed it back.willj.net

Why Inuit Hold the Keys to the Arctic’s Future | The Tyee
Canada’s hold on its Arctic territories depends on Inuit and can be bolstered by strengthening their communities, a leading expert says.
University of British Columbia global affairs professor Michael Byers, who has spent much of his career studying power and international politics in the North, says the legal system that underpins sovereignty questions in the Arctic remains “robust,” despite recent rhetoric from Donald Trump about Greenland.
Byers says it still makes sense for Canada to improve military capabilities. But he says investing in infrastructure and support for Arctic communities would also help strengthen Canada’s sovereignty in the North.

“So if an issue goes strictly outside of your box into another bureaucrat’s, you just stop paying attention?”
I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was in fact the case. It's how bureaucracy tends to work. No matter how stupid that is.
Canada in talks with Meta on return of news to Facebook as CUSMA review nears
The federal government says its willingness to speak with Meta about the possibility of seeing online news return to Facebook is part of an ongoing conversation Canada is having with the United States as the review of CUSMA nears.
"The door has always been open on our government's side to discuss these issues. We've been having regular discussions with platforms since the Online News Act was developed. This is nothing new," said Hermine Landry, press secretary to Culture Minister Mark Miller.
The Online News Act, which became law in 2023, requires tech giants like Google and Meta to pay media outlets for news content they share or otherwise repurpose on their platforms.

Scott Bessent warns Carney not to 'pick a fight' with Trump
The Trump administration is once again ramping up its rhetorical pressure on Canada, with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issuing a fresh warning to Prime Minister Mark Carney over looming trade negotiations.
Bessent was at an event in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to launch what U.S. President Donald Trump has dubbed "Trump Accounts," an investment vehicle for children.
In an interview with CNBC's Sara Eisen, Bessent was asked about the rift between Trump and Carney over the prime minister's headline-grabbing speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
"I would just encourage Prime Minister Carney to do what he thinks is best for the Canadian people, not his own virtue signaling, because we do have a USMCA negotiation coming up," Bessent said, using the American acronym for the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).
"I would not pick a fight going into USMCA to score some cheap political points," he added.

3) What app are they generated with?
4) Do they also look corrupted on other devices you may have handy?

Not the difference, and see in the File menu that you need to use the EXPORT function to change actual file type.

You most likely need to enable Canvas support on that site for the upload. It's a little picture icon right to the left of the URL bar. I would recommend reading the docs above.
