Yes. If it becomes a success on Chrome, other interested parties will pressure Firefox to adopt the standard as well.

Google has been so far very quiet on this issue. I wonder why.

Wonder why this wasn't done earlier. Hopefully we'll see less of the 404-type pages that has plagued this instance.

So communists are not welcome on lemmy.world or what? What even is a Hexbear? How different is this move from when Elon decided to reinstate every banned account apart from Alex Jones'? How thin is the skin of lemmy.world mods? What's the point of censorship on this platform? I can go to Reddit and Twitter if I want protection from communist ideologies??

9/10 desktop applications I use are flatpaks. Am on Arch and even when there's an AUR for a package I'd prefer to use Flatpak. Just so I can use Flatseal to control permissions access on my applications.

Nothing too fancy other than following the recommended security practices. And to be aware of and regularly monitor the potential security holes of the servers/services I have open.

Even though semi-related, and commonly frowned upon by admins, I have unattended upgrades on my servers and my most of my services are auto-updated. If an update breaks a service, I guess its an opportunity to earn some more stripes.

KDE Connect is better than anything these two juggernauts can conceive of.

Valory noted in his statement that the company was significantly impacted by the slowdown.

He added that the company is still expected to see 30% growth this year.

Which is which?

Most people do not have to a reason to care about privacy, until the day their private comms/data gets leaked and abused is when they will give a damn.

Backblaze b2, borgbase.com. There are also programs like dejadup that will let you backup to popular cloud drives. The alternatives are limitless.

Backup $home and /etc. That should be good enough.

Arch BTW.

More contributions to Linux from parties other than RHEL don't help RHEL. That's literally the view they have taken since their announcement.

Firefox will be in a tight corner assuming every other browser vendor picks this up. They can decide to go against it but Firefox does not live in isolation.

It's a vpn client on steroids that creates a VPN network (based on your provider) which you can then use to run docker containers inside of, as well as create http & shadowsocks proxies for your VPN network etc.

They provide the best balance for efficiency. Not too powerful enough to be a workhorse and not to weak to run multiple simple applications/services. NUCs are great in that they come with hardware video acceleration tech that's highly optimized for media transcoding.

Not making a case for Ubuntu but even Fedora has opt-out telemetry.

Nah. It's a (biased) personal interpretation of what "good" "safe" "family-friendly" content means for lemmy users. Idk much about Hexbear's content but isn't it possible to label their posts as NSFW incase of visibly violent content or something similar.

The users who disagree with Hexbear's overall comments know where the block button is. It's not that complicated a solution. People should use more of it instead of looking for reasons to get mad.

Relatively fast updates, AUR, PKGBUILD, Downgrade, the Wiki, the community, not controlled by some corporate entity, no telemetry, and last but not least the logo ;)

I occasionally use DriveDroid (root) to boot Linux ISOs.

My device also IR so Mi Remote comes in handy.

Jellyfin, AdGuard Home, Nextcloud, Syncthing, Invidious, SearxNG

And am expressing my disagreement with it.

This sounds good just saying it but in practice it's not possible for AI to fully replace these types of jobs. ::: spoiler spoiler At least not yet. :::

I was in the same boat many years ago with Chrome until I discovered how to migrate the passwords to Bitwarden.

They successfully went after Vanced 2 years ago so it's shouldn't be too far fetched for them.

Yes. What they say and their actions are entirely contradictory in my own warped view.

But good thing am not the only one who seems to think so 🤪 as clearly Oracle and SUSE agree with this view.

Just because they said that they don't think RHEL clones contribute to the RHEL ecosystem doesn't mean that it is entirely true. Are you new to PR speak?

I used to love Swiftkey before it sold out to Microsoft. I use Gboard with network permissions off nowadays.

What security stuff/mitigations are added on Fedora that are not on Ubuntu?

Podman-compose is not feature complete IIRC. There are many more issues I can go into if you'd like.

Mostly because stability is usually prioritized above all else on servers. There's also a multitude of other legit reasons.

I use restic (and dejadup just to be safe) backing up to multiple cloud storage points. Among these cloud storage points are borgbase.com, backblaze b2 and Microsoft cloud.

I don't really care that much for Oracle's role in Linux but IBM's Red Hat is clearly the drunk guy here.

Arch (BTW)

Even though minimal, the risk of security patches introducing new changes to your software is still there as we all have different ideas on how/what correct software updates should look like.

As an Almalinux user I wanted them to tell Red Hat to fuck off with their Stream, but this news is still good I guess for the short/mid term. I still think they are making a mistake for trusting Red Hat to keep their products/ sources up.

For accessing your VPN network outside of your LAN, there's the shadowsocks option in the gluetun wiki.

Some apps automatically pick up your theme some don't. For these I give the specific app access to my theme folder with a :ro at the end of the path.

IDEs should work ootb. If some extension doesn't work, maybe it's because of poor support for Flatpak. 9/10 times you'll find the issue is that app is calling the traditional /usr/bin path etc. when Flatpak installations use different paths.

That said, Fedora Legal has determined that if we collect any personally-identifiable data, the entire metrics system must be opt-in. Since we are only interested in opt-out metrics due to the low value of opt-in metrics, we must accordingly never collect any personally-identifiable data.

Looks like this statement contradicts with their goal.

Haha. Said the hoader with tonnes of content he's never going to finish watching.
