And Wayland accessibility is very bad.

I was going to say use github.com/juanfont/headscale, but I dont see an android client.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

People who don’t understand what an OS is typically use linux mint fine because they just open chrome or Firefox.

[QUESTION] Flatpak or AUR?

I’ve been using arch for a while now and I always used Flatpaks for proprietary software that might do some creepy shit because Flatpaks are supposed to be sandboxed (e.g. Steam). And Flatpaks always worked flawlessly OOTB for me. AUR for things I trust. I’ve read on the internet how people prefer AUR over Flatpaks. Why? And...

ParetoOptimalDev ,

I use flatpak steam and flatseal to remove user home permissions so games don’t see my files.

I’d prefer to use Nix derivations and firejail but I couldn’t get it working last time I tried.

My preference for nix expressions to flatpaks is for better reproducibility guarantees, easier introspection, easier debugging, and less duplication.

But we aren’t them… right?

ParetoOptimalDev ,

YouTube shorts recommendations suck.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

You can be critical of the CCP but also see the increased urgency in “fixing tiktok” after US/Israel propaganda to hide Palestine genocide got stymied by tiktok.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

No way them resigning would have gotten this level of publicity, but you know that.

You just want to prevent people from doing things that annoy you by pretending they are ineffective.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

If you want to actually make a difference, leave Google, go do bioinformatics (am biased here), exact agriculture or any other shit that actually solves real problem

People get to decide what is a “real problem”.

I don’t see how finding out your labor supports genocide isn’t a real problem.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

if they’re against their employer’s policy maybe they should’ve resigned in the first place.

If they want effective change they should retain their job and tear down the org from the inside.

Then donate to causes they care about using their income.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Observe your coworkers carefully and see how many really work 7 hours per day.

Flickering makes it true for all xwayland games such as proton until nvidia driver with explicit sync.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

I wouldn’t count on your encrypted WhatsApp video actually being secure.

Use signal for that.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Only matters if fine is at least 5% Facebook revenue probably.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

That flickering, is it only on Wayland? I’m on 6.7 and have flickering on Wayland but not X11.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

But its taken to mean both, so at least lightly attributes it to a man rather than a woman.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Try dual booting so you can test if it just works or if the friction involved is acceptable.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

This totally blocks all scam calls for me:

“As a human I’m aligned with this companies mission and values” - me practicing

ParetoOptimalDev ,

I use Wayland on NixOS too and everything works fine except slight flickering in games.

I think it’ll be fixed soon though and I can fully move to Wayland.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

How is KDE slightly non-windows? Its applications and how they interoperability reminds me more of Mac I guess.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Virtualenvs for everything that don’t duplicate resources and are reproducible.

Need to use strokes to make gestures for cycling, todo cycling, etc and see how it works.

You don’t need two.

You don’t have to install anything, just go to yewtu.be

Editing memories, spying on our bodies, normalising weird goggles: Apple’s new Vision Pro has big ambitions (theconversation.com)

Apple Vision Pro is a mixed-reality headset – which the company hopes is a “revolutionary spatial computer that transforms how people work, collaborate, connect, relive memories, and enjoy entertainment” – that begins shipping to the public (in the United States)....

Has it been proven to work offline and that once online it doesn’t upload your offline activity?

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Integrate with just about anything except Linux?

ParetoOptimalDev ,

You can just use a firefox plugin for Bing chat FYI

ParetoOptimalDev ,

You have to complain if your work does chrome specific stuff.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

I really wouldn’t be surprised if Google did this though.

Plus, wouldn’t it be an easy PR win for them to set the record straight.

For me these days, Google is guilty until proven innocent.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Thank Google for killing xmpp.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

The amount teams sucks justifies using something else.

Any othet alternative to telegram that is more open sourced , privacy ,security focused is available in fdroid etc.

Wanted to know if there are any other android apps with features like telegram such as sending ,recieving big files creating channels etc. Using a bot or channel in telegram to pirate movies and series are infinitely easier than torrenting . But as telegram is not fully open source and requires a phone number to create an...

The first messenger without user IDs

Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers.

This radically improves your privacy.

The graph literally demonstrates the enshittification.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Are you tracked down to 10 minute intervals at your job?

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Don’t allow sites in the index by default, use an allowlist.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

By default I was thinking site. But for sites with huge variances in page quality you’d need it by page/article as you say.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Being an introvert who’s great at socializing means you don’t have problems socializing but it drains your energy.

Strong assumptions can sometimes get in the way of understanding.

For instance you say “I’m in the middle of work, why would they interrupt me”.

There seems to be a strong assumption that the other person believes as you do that getting work done is the most important thing at work.

In my experience though, forming relationships for future connections and ensuring work is tolerable to enjoyable is more important to most than getting work done.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

I feel like limiting or discouraging them would really hurt adoption.

Many times people share their use cases.

If someone with similar use cases finds out “wait, it us possible for me yo use Linux?” they could become tomorrow’s post.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

This seems pretty reasonable IMO. What are biggest reasons 40 hour week won’t happen for senior leadership?

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Didn’t this “meme language” ship in a recent Linux kernel?

ParetoOptimalDev ,

It was needed to safely further support for concurrent features? If they follow through on adding that support, there will likely be adoption.

The problem is in most cases the implementers stop at “same thing but in rust” without taking advantage of that.

I can’t fully blame them since just duplicating an existing thing is a huge undertaking.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

On steam deck I switched to plasma mobile primarily because of how bad the gnome onscreen keyboard is.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

If you install gnome and use it in desktop mode you’ll see what I mean.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

“Plasma mobile”

ParetoOptimalDev ,

I recommend Kagi at every opportunity, but am sometimes afraid of people assuming its astroturfing like this and not my real opinion.

ParetoOptimalDev ,

Yeah, I really want to be wrong here…
