maybe it's a good thing these blind haters of anime stuff aren't nearby

comedy heaven?

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.

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?

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.

Those are just app distribution formats. Since there's just 1 snap store which can deliver snaps, they're not comparable.

holy shit, bad apple

hi confusion

Finally a study on this, nice. All those "no fucking shit" comments should be thankful someone actually proved this

Well they recently got people to get scared of what car manufacturers want to do with all sensitive data they get access to, who knows

time to disassemble yourself

It doesn't even declare any network access permissions (and according to the README's policy, it won't in the future), so it couldn't even be a keylogger.

My prediction is that we'll go DNSSEC globally when IPv6 gets mainstream adoption. It sucks how many just don't care enough.

Just set up auto-donations to Lemmy devs and my instance admin(s). Thanks for the reminder! It ain't much for me, but with many others doing the same it'll make a huge difference.

Their browser on Android relies on Chromium, on Windows it uses Edge's webview thingy and on macOS Safari afaik

My smartwatch purchase partially. It's a Galaxy Watch4 Classic, it does stuff like track my workouts, heartrate, etc., run WearOS-optimized apps that I basically never use like Spotify, and I have to charge it every 2 days. I noticed that the only real feature I need is to get my phone's notifications on my wrist. Not really worth the € 200-300 purchase imo, but it works okay-ish.

haha guys the joke is porn

It's like they have to fight for their god or something, why???

So according to the official page on Hotpatching (without any trackers like in the article), this reminds me of kpatch. I guess Microsoft really wants to spend the effort of making that work. Isn't kpatch not really supported (without $$$) by many larger distros since it's prone to break easily?

Guess what, the local private translations feature depends on AI/ML. All this blind hate for AI is so stupid.

"… Importantly, we’ll also take full account of people’s rights to privacy and freedom of expression."

While also being pretty much against end-to-end encryption. Good job.

Clearly, you don't own an air fryer.

Man that rule is such bullcrap. Imagine a photo editor that only allowed you to edit your own pictures and only those matching the app's content rating.

there's "HEVC … from Device Manufacturer" available to download for free if you really need it afaik
