Aren't AppImages still limited to Xorg?

Also there's no centralised update mechanism or dependency deduplication, no?

Without the traditional distribution workflow [...]

You are aware that the xz exploit made it into Debian Testing and Fedora 40 despite the traditional distribution workflows? Distro maintainers are not a silver bullet when it comes to security. They have to watch hundreds to thousands of packages so having them do security checks for each package is simply not feasible.

I wonder if that means it could be combined with DXVK to enable support on older DirectX versions as well. ^^

As someone who owns a PinePhone I can tell you that a lot more work needs to be done first. postmarketOS is ok but being Alpine based means you have to forever deal with all the issues that come with it including its primitive package manager. And mobian also kept breaking ever other half a year or so requiring manual config changes etc.

What we need IMO, is a more reliable spin like Fedora, maybe even something immutable like Silverblue to ensure the stability required for a daily driver device while also being quick to deploy the latest versions of releases.

There's also the whole app ecosystem aspect but between advances in Waydroid and convergent GTK apps, I'm more concerned about the underlying base OS than the app ecosystem ^^

I wish something like .config would be a thing for storing configuration files in repositories. Instead we have a .vscode, .github, .gitlab, .idea, .vs, etc

Not to be that person but I'm curious what made you go with AppImage over Flatpak, given that you already mentioned using the Flatpak as an alternative ^^"

The easiest way to block an auto-upgrade to Win11 is to just disable TPM in the BIOS. That way Windows will see the PC as not Win11 compatible and not perform the upgrade.

Looks interesting, I'll check it out, thanks :D

YAML would such a nice language for config files but then it turns out that "no" is falsy and so a list of Scandinavian countries turns from

• se
• fi
• no

into

• "se"
• "fi"
• False

I wish there was like a JSON5 equivalent for YAML that just reduces its scope lol
(and no, TOML also looks ugly :P)

They already use GitHub for a bunch of other projects. See https://github.com/mozilla/ and https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/

We should probably update this post given that vanilla is now playable ^^

The linked message is from 2019, i.e. per-M1 Apple laptops and at a time when arm in datacenter was just starting out.

Tbh, I feel like it's kinda pointless to discuss a comment made by someone over 4-years ago. Both the environment and the person itself can change a lot in that time.

I feel that at the very least, the customer in that case should be entitled to a complete refund of the product, regardless of whether they bought it 5 days or 5 years ago and regardless of the condition their device is in.

This should at least give some incentive to companies to not perform such sweeping changes to their terms of service and if they do, the customer can more easily remove themselves from the lock-in without taking a financial hit.

Or just use long-forms like

tar --create --file pics.tar ./pics

instead of

tar -cf pics.tar ./pics

or

tar --extract --file pics.tar```
instead of

tar -xf pics.tar

which is honestly way easier to remember... \^\^

It's currently one of the highest selling games on Steam and something tells me that previous server issues might also finally be resolved :>

Okay

So basically it’s just another GNOME release gotcha.

AFAIK, the extension developer needs to explicitly set each version of Gnome they support. Even when the Gnome version doesn't have any breaking changes, the extension developer still needs to update their extension to enable their extension for the new Gnome version.

On that note, screen sharing worked just fine for me on Wayland Fedora 38 with Zoom Flatpak.

Convenience for end-users and avoiding link rot is probably one of the reasons.

Very good points tbh. My main thought with why I suggested lemmyrs.org is cause it would be an entire instance around Rust, not just a single community on an instance. That being said, there is already an official discourse for Rust so maybe just having a single community on lemmy as opposed to an entire instance is enough in that case ^^

As outline in the blog post, https://lemmyrs.org/ would lend itself best to avoid the case of one big instance de-federating from another.

Discoverability can be an issue with smaller instances but I'd argue that can be bypassed by simply linking to it from official resources that previously linked to reddit. Same with linking to that instance from Reddit.

One thing of importance IMO is that should lemmyrs.org be selected as the reddit replacement, there needs to be communication and more importantly help for that instance admin, so that they don't have to carry the weight of supporting one of rust-lang's communication channels.

So far, Fedora has been rock solid for me ^^

Sorta. We now have FFA instead of Glitch 24/7 and the Insane mode for Frontier Defense has also changed to a new map ^^

"X post" kinda also refers to "crosspost". I'd suggest to instead use "Twitter/X post". Otherwise, keep up the great work <3

Works for Firefox on Android. On iOS you can set Firefox Focus your "Content Blocker" which essentially is also just a weaker form of ad blocking.

I just really dislike the whole left/right tribalism. Politics is a lot more complex than left/right and just marking someone as either just increases polarisation...

As someone running a Framework 13 with Fedora 38 with 1.5 fractional scaling using Wayland I cannot say I experienced the same issue. Everything kinda just worked out of the box.

Personally I couldn't go back from HiDPI screens. The lower resolution just makes stuff look blurry IMO.

(Bin kein Arzt) Kommt drauf an was du erwischt hast. Je ähnlicher dein Erreger zu der aktuell dominanten Variante war, desto höher der Immunschutz im Allgemeinen. Nachdem ich mal annehme, dass deine Erkrankung schon etwas her ist, empfiehlt sich das Auffrischen wahrscheinlich noch eher. Im Zweifelsfall sonst am Besten mit dem Hausarzt besprechen.

Als jemand der sich letztes Jahr im Herbst hat auffrischen lassen und dann an Corona erkrankt ist mit Symptomen die milder waren als jeder Schnupfen, während der Kollege der auch erkrankt ist und keine Auffrischung hatte, zwei Wochen lang ans Bett gefesselt war, werde ich mich auch dieses Jahr wieder auffrischen lassen. Das Risiko mehrere Tage auszufallen bzw. vielleicht sogar an long-covid zu erkranken, nehme ich lieber nicht in Kauf ^^

War bei uns auch so, wenn auch nicht ganz in dem Ausmaß wie im verlinkten Video. Nach dem obligatorischen KZ Besuch der Schulstufe, war dann aber auch ganz schnell wieder Schluss damit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yup, speeds are just reds that trigger earlier basically ^^

yeah, tunneling into your local network and then calling WoL from there is the way to go.

Arguably what makes AV1 so attractive nevertheless is that it's royalty free.

The OnlyFans account was part of an April Fools joke. They really should've shut it down soon after that though...

Yup, this. Started update via Gnome Software, walked away from my laptop to make some coffee, restarted when I came back and it was done. ^^

Fedora has a KDE spin and gets some updates faster than even Arch (e.g. new Gnome releases) while also being considered stable. Heck even the the Asahi Linux project switched from Arch to Fedora as a base recently.

If you really need something from the AUR you can just use distrobox to generate an arch container and install the AUR package in there. You can then export it from distrobox to your application list with a single comment so that the fact that it's running inside distrobox becomes completely transparent.

That way you have a stable but up-to-date base while also still having access to AUR.

That being said, in my 7 years on Linux I never needed something that was only accessible in AUR but maybe that's just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Been using the PoC extension for a few days now and I'm absolutely in love with it <3

Also why having doc comments and docs generated from code are super useful. When someone changes the code but not the comment above, it becomes really obvious that something was missed as opposed to having code and doc changes be two separate tasks.

Note that the people behind the Asahi don't yet recommend getting a MacBook for the sole reason of running Asahi on it.

ngl, I'm annoyed whenever someone creates an application but doesn't want to publish their code cause it looks bad. Like no one cares that your code is bad and by publishing it, you can get others to help you improve it.

This. And even then there should be procedures in place to essentially make it impossible to send the wrong inputs.

It's like when an intern accidentally drops the production database. It's not the interns fault for sending the wrong command. It's the managements fault for not restricting access in the first place.
