jbk , to linuxmemes in Debian used to be so good. What happened!?

Bleeding edge? Isn’t that just called stable?

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.

And what knowledge makes that opinion have any factual value?

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 , to linux in 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.

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.

Apps could start improving to remove the warnings…

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 , to linuxmemes in GNU-Linux

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

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 , to linuxmemes in GNU-Linux

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.

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

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?
