Plus, do rust coreutils do anything exceptionally better than GNU coreutils? If not, I don’t think many would switch

jbk ,

It’s not just an init system. Look up what it does and why it exists, instead of blindly hating some software for some obsessive reason.

jbk ,

The choice of making way more things than just the job of an init system harder than it has to be, especially when both flavors have to work. Feel free to call generous people who work for the community “assholes”, but it’s you who’s that, if anyone

jbk ,

And what concerns did/do you exactly have? Did you as a “democratic” user make yourself loud instead of crying about “corruption” on lemmy?

jbk ,

You don’t know the details of why it was chosen, yet you complain about people with obviously more knowledge on these topics having chosen it… reminds me of science deniers.

jbk ,

And what knowledge makes that opinion have any factual value?

jbk ,

It’s not even a single binary blob. Shows your competence around this topic. Feel free to continue rambling and whatever without knowing anything about it.

Debian used to be so good. What happened!? (lemmy.world)

Firefox on Debian stable is so old that websites yell at you to upgrade to a newer browser. And last time I tried installing Debian testing (or was it debian unstable?), the installer shat itself trying to make the bootloader. After I got it to boot, apt refused to work because of a missing symlink to busybox. Why on earth do...

jbk ,

Bleeding edge? Isn’t that just called stable?

I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that. (programming.dev)

Imagine your friend that does not know anything about linux, don’t you think this would make them not install the firefox flatpak and potentially think that linux is unsafe?...

jbk ,

Apps could start improving to remove the warnings…

jbk ,

To 1.: dri instead of all would handle hardware-accelerated rendering. Then some webcams or controllers won’t be accessible though. This one’s a bit complicated, since the necessary portals for e.g. generic USB device access aren’t yet there.

To 2.: portals should be used instead of that. Using them doesn’t require these permissions.

To 3.: click on details and see. This is Flathub making it easy to understand for users.

Permissions should make clear whatever dangerous things an app can do. If not, why do all this effort of isolation? Firefox could delete everything in downloads, either by accident on Mozilla’s side, or a privilege escalation. If the app used portals instead, it couldn’t, at least without user interaction. Or a browser security vulnerability could open up any USB devices to webpages. It’s all about what could happen with granted permissions. And these can 100 % be fixed in at least some way.

jbk ,

You’re complaining about corporate fundings. Without them, a lot of open source tech would definitely not be as advanced as it is today. Since everything’s open source, anyone can just fork a project when some “malicious megacorp” “hijacks” the project. Funny how a similar case happened “the good way” recently with Redis/Valkey, but the other way around.

There’s always some doomers only seeing potential bad futures in awesome stuff, huh?

jbk ,

Well you do you. I don’t see the point in hating open source software made by them, you’re not paying them unlike with regular products and boycotting them.

jbk ,

time to snapshot my latest snapshot

While that works, it sometimes might break things: fedoramagazine.org/offline-updates-and-fedora-35/

jbk ,

There’s an in-development program for GNOME called Valent. It’s been pretty solid for me. It’s also not a GNOME shell extension, instead a native app.

jbk ,

How would an AOSP fork help with an app not using the notifications API correctly? Just magically rewrite the app?

jbk ,

not always :(

jbk ,

Doesn’t ReVanced work?

jbk ,

Neckbeards love to pretend open source magically has no security vulnerabilities

Who does? Feels like you’re just talking about inexperienced “btw i use arch” kinda skiddies

jbk ,

ha I already am (Android)

!i actually daily-drive fedora on my laptop!<

jbk ,

Don’t e.g. alarm apps not work after that until you unlock your phone since the device data decryption keys weren’t kept in RAM after rebooting? I have that feature off since I don’t want that to happen. Afaik AOSP has added that to make installing updates more seamless, but it’d be useful for this too. (And since Samsung usually sucks at improving their already self-made stuff to align with AOSP, like Virtual A/B updates, I’m just assuming this)

jbk ,

i like Blue Archive for its story and music and I’d even spend a few bucks if I really wanted a special character, but not much. since I’m not into the other gachas I might just be a rare example of an enjoyer tho lol

jbk ,

God bless America, just like its for-revenue prisons.

jbk ,

kelvin per petagram whar

jbk ,

wait is this real

jbk ,

More like having Microsoft and Windows live rent-free in their head competition

jbk ,

Neither on Apple devices though? There aren’t many exploits to “jailbreak” Android phones.

jbk ,

Some JetBrains IDEs are fully open source. Does Adobe have anything like that?

jbk ,

It’s not likely that the driver will be mainlined anytime soon, so no. It’s the same as with the proprietary kernel driver, except maybe some being able to patch problems with newer kernel versions by themselves.

jbk ,

What 4 year old laptop can handle that much RAM?

jbk ,

I bet it also cost a ton as well lol. Well I’m jealous now.

jbk ,

It does something different and doesn’t ask to replace sudo everywhere. You brainless trashtalkers can’t even read an article before you judge.

jbk ,

“Just”

jbk ,

something something ostree and how complicated the stuff it does actually is

jbk ,

🦅

jbk ,

AOSP is fully Apache-2.0 licensed except for the Linux kernel, so only their kernel changes would have to be. It’s also an important reason why Android was/is so successful.

jbk ,

being sick sucks

jbk ,

Try to use apt on Android

With Termux one can

And no ads in every app.

Don’t use apps with ads then? Or set up an ad blocker.

Root access, that is, being admim of your own device.

That’s just how most Android versions are shipped. It’s still technically possible to get root access, and really enjoy every privilege of Linux. Not all devices allow using a custom OS though, sadly

jbk ,

Setting up an ad blocker for a whole device often requires root

Private DNS since Android 9 can do that without root access afaik, like with AdGuard’s public service

jbk ,

Like ability to install different desktop enviroment?

Technically, with root access, yeah. It’s just that Android’s UI isn’t a DE/WM in the desktop Linux sense

Almost all apps store settings in easy to backup .config folder.

And same for Android app data with root access. /data contains, well, data of apps and the general system. Sure, it’s not the same as on desktop Linux, but it’s still possible to modify, copy, delete with root access. Every app is a different Linux user on Android, and that’s also just different from desktop Linux.

To me, you’re just pointing out differences due to the software architecture of both OSes.

jbk ,

Yeah but for e.g. the notification and quick panel, you need to modify the System UI app. It’s like everything below the top panel in GNOME is replaceable lol

jbk ,

You think compiling a binary with a different toolchain and system paths is the same as exploiting a made up security vulnerability linked to a game for some reason. I’m done wasting my time here. /system/bin/uname -s prints Linux, that’s enough.

jbk ,

i think I see why it’s from 4chan

jbk ,

some people need to grow up lol
