The data leak is of AADHAR database. Which is a proof of identity that is required by everyone to avail government services. It is even used for SIM registration and opening bank account.

Government has been recently trying to link Voter IDs to AADHAR. It is already linked to Tax Account called PAN.

It has been turned it to a surveillance tool and this leak can be huge if true.

That's just one specific issue. It doesn't mean that the whole plasma wayland session is a pain. Been using it for more than a year now.

The conflict was triggered when the state High Court gave a verdict in favour of the Meiti community for a long standing demand for special previliges.

The Wikipedia article about the violence has a good overview.

I was also getting panics on 2 of my systems on Linux 6.3.9 but hasn't happened on 6.4

Of course they need the software and that's why they contribute to make it better. That's how most of the FOSS development works anyway. People have an 'itch' to fix the issues or add a feature and they do it and the license makes sure that others benefit from that itch.

Apart from RHEL, RedHat contributes to hundreds of FOSS projects and hires a lot of FOSS devs. So their contribution in progressing the desktop linux is huge. You can see the contributions to the various project here: https://www.redhat.com/en/about/open-source-program-office/contributions

Believe it or not corporates play a big role in making Linux what it is and their enshittification is bad for Linux ecosystem.

Sad that RedHat went this way.

Fair enough.

I guess things are still rough on Nvidia.

When was the last time you tried? And which GPU?

Vague argument but whatever works for you I guess.

It is reasonable to continue using X due to Nvidia issues.

While Linux phones seem a distant dream. I think these are the major features that are needed for it to be a suitable daily driver for developers:

• Waydroid - Cause we gotta have android apps.
• Proper 5G/4G/3G Support.
• Availability of more devices that can run Linux.

I understand and X works fine for a lot od people but do remember the number of developers maintaining it have been dropping year on year. No harm in trying IMO. If you are on Plasma or Gnome, you get a simple switcher on the login screen.

Yup. I am myself running Plasma Wayland on 2 laptops (both Ryzen APUs) for over an year now. Seems like Nvidia is the biggest limiting factor.

That's an unusual issue, have you reported it on bugs.kde.org ?

LOL

Signature for Izzy and Github are same.

I am afraid, Google might never do it.

Well the aim is to sanitize the code and move some of the unnecessary boot procedures to a later stage of start up. I don't think boot times differences would be noticable.

IMO for now, post everything on this community itself as it is not that active. We can slowly diversify into niches but we first need to improve interaction.

Linux Mint is going to be an excellent choice for a beginner. Go ahead.

Just out of curiosity, what are the main hurdles that prevent you from a full transition?

First they went after Vanced, now Invidious. With the ongoing recession, companies are realising that less and less people would be be willing to pay for subscriptions and to increase their revenue they are going to tie all the loose ends they have allowed over the years.

I am not aware of any call blocker. Sorry!

Jerboa. I am really hopeful for its development. Each release is going to get a lot of fixes and improvements. It is a satisfying feeling to see software grow and improve.

Are the gestures 1 to 1?

I have 2 laptops (work and personal) and both run Arch Linux.

Reason:

• Rolling release
• AUR
• ArchWiki

Afaik Ubuntu follows a different vereioning scheme for kernels, so I am not sure when you will get 6.5 or 6.6 patches.

As stated in the article, it can be picked up in 6.5 if it is ready or later if there are changes needed.

Yes, you can say so. It is a kernel level setting for AMD CPU systems and will soon be enabled by default so users don't need to do amything to take its benefit.

Whoops! I have been reading it wrong all this while.

I guess you wanted to comment on the browser extension post, this one is for Android apps.

Not on Jerboa but if your instance allows it the mobile web interface will have the option to create it.

100% relatable, installing it right now.

I am also stuck on Simple SMS. I don't really communicate on SMS and it is just for recieving bank messages so not super important. QKSMS was a great SMS app but it is not getting active development anymore.

Yeah, maybe not completely useless.

No, infact sync would make the moderation system useless. I think there is going to be both advantages and disadvantages with this approach. One big disadvantage is differentiating the communities because users would be expected to check the server name.

In a recent blog post Tutanota has stated that they are aware of the problems of their pricing. They are working on improvements and simplification of the pricing system.

I also have a lot of questions regarding how same communities on different servers would look like. There are already 2 c/technology communities. Are they totally seprate or the data is synced between the two?

Oh yeah, I can just copy a post/comment link and access it on Tusky. Makes sense.

Are they going to be 1 to 1?
