Describe the bug
Hi! I'm used your app for a long time but few month ago it stop working. I reinstalled it and since then can't make it works. Systemctl task can't start, in logs I see this:

whoami
ls -la /home/vlad/Downloads/turing-smart-screen-python

and post the output here please?

Did you use the .service file provided by this project in the tools folder? If so, the following options may be the cause of your issue:

ProtectSystem=full
ProtectHome=read-only

You can try to remove them from the service file, or you can move your turing-smart-screen-python folder to /opt in a place that is not protected for the service
