srain, becuase of being modern gtk, because of being light on dependencies, because of being available on aur, and because I'd like it more (yes there are several things that are also a matter of taste) than the alternatives, :)

why toxic? Or better yet, define toxic.

mozilla private derivatives such as librewolf on the desktop and mull on android I just fine. So FF keeps being relevant as not being a derivative from chromium/chrome, it can remain apart from google disabling adds removing extensions.

So yes, FF is food to thrive, and so its derivatives will...

I has improved quite a bit. The phone app still requires navigating over its settings to get less battery consumption, and having ntfy or any other unifiedPush notification provider available in the phone. But with the default configs, you get Jami working at least. I tried it before, and I found before synchronization between devices was a mess. Currently it just works. I still find it hard on immediate/urgent calls or messages, which might not happen when you expect, but other than that it's working.

On the desktop, the default configs are pretty sane.

And the best part, it's being actively developed. And the UI is undergoing through lots of improvements. So if usability is your concern, it's getting better, and each release improves over the prior one...

The audit is true, but at least Jami didn't make up its own crypto lib, it uses standard already in use crypto stuff. To there's a huge difference there.

BTW, they are actually re-writing stuff... But yes, they need more recent audits...

Have you read it's github front page?

This is an experimental cryptographic network library. It has not been formally audited by an independent third party that specializes in cryptography or cryptanalysis. Use this library at your own risk.

BTW, if you look at its issues (including closed ones, which most probably aren't really closed) you'll find pretty interesting discussions about its crypto not being right. That said, I'm not sure what irungentoo brings to the picture...

At any rate, if you're looking for distributed messaging, I'd look into Jami. It also uses DHT and something similar to torrents mechanism. Jami is my only option so far for distributed messaging. There's also Briar, but I don't like it for regular messaging, particularly on phones (too much battery usage), neither its underlying technology, but if it's to your liking, then that's another option for distributing messaging.

What I post from lemmy.ml wouldn't be seen there if that were the case, but it's seen there, so that doesn't seem the case...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

BTW. I've already joined... That said, I see the same posts missing. Of course that doesn't apply to one I made myself from lemmy.ml. There's also a bot one from 9 days ago, but the rest are at least 1 month old...

pending for subscription, we'll see, and while pending, still not syncing properly...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I do use "undetermined". Thanks a lot. I'll be asking lemmy.ml somwhere...

What is implied with alacritty not being customizable, what is then .config/alacritty/alacritty.toml meant for? That said, I'd argue kitty has hard coded what fonts can be used with it, though some might think this is good, but in my mind it's a limitation.

At any rate, this is a matter of taste. I use alacritty with screen. Some might argue kitty is better because of tabs supports, and if that's a thing for them, then that's fine...

At any rate, again, terminal emulators are a matter of taste...

Because I have no clue what's going on... I'm assuming you guys know better.

And no, they don't seem to be old... There's a recent post about dino I don't see, I don't see either a post about some messages not decrypted, another about dergchart, and finally another one about gajim...

If there's nothing to comment here, that's fine... I was just wondering.

 

Anyone aware of a testing framework hopefully integrating well, and abstracting the shuttle testing functionality?

BTW I found rtest, but it doesn't in particular abstracts shuttle at all, it's a fixtures generic framework.

Planning to use shuttle to do MT testing targeting C binded code, and looking for a way to abstract as much as possible the shuttle scheduler trait and such...

Thanks !

Notable changes:

  • Tracking improvements. For example, if you use the launcher to launch an application and then switch workspaces, it will still launch in the workspace you opened it from;
  • Supported the ext-session-lock protocol, which authenticates the user and informs the compositor when the session should be unlocked
  • XDG activation and DBus activation support
  • work on HDR
  • Ongoing work to package COSMIC on NixOS: tracking issue

Hello !

As Mint is based on Ubuntu, I’m wondering if it will follow the missteps (to me at least) Ubuntu is doing to demote *.deb packages in favor of snaps?

Well that based on Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently) post, and its lemmy.ml discussion.

From all ubuntu based distros, Mint seems not to follow those missteps, but I'm wondering if Rhino will do the same. Actually I don't like Rhino created a wrapper package manager which actually gets snap support as well as apt on the same bucket. But who knows, it might be they won't follow ubuntu on this.

Does anyone know?

My interest on Rhino comes from it being rolling release. But I don't want snap to become the source of common/important packages.

Thanks !

AFAIK waybar doesn't offer quick launch buttons, but it does offer custom modules, which one can use to mimic such buttons. I'm using custom modules in a pretty simple way, for example for librewolf (I didn't find an awesome icon font for it, so using the FF one):

    "custom/librewolf": {
        "format": "",
        "interval": "once",
        "on-click": "librewolf",
    },

I have some other ones for other applications. I do use keybindings as well, and I can use wofi to search for the applications, but none of them are really alternatives for other users.

It does work ! However I was looking for a very simple way to add what official modules, like a "tooltip-format" which is part of the official modules. Not sure why on earth it's not part of the custom modules. So for example, I'd look for something similar to:

    "custom/librewolf": {
        "format": "",
        "tooltip-format" "Librewolf Browser"
        "interval": "once",
        "on-click": "librewolf",
    },

So that if someone doesn't recognize the awesome font icon, one could just find out by the tip shown when getting the mouse on top of the button. As this is not supported. Is there any simple way to do that? Hopefully not requiring to add several scripts just for this. Something that might be part of such snippet, and pretty simple would be great, 🙂

Please let me know of suggestions.

Thanks !

Dinit is really nice (wiki.artixlinux.org)
 

Although the artix dinit official support announcement was done like 2 years back, only now I tested it, since I felt comfortable with s6.

I have to say I really like it so far, :)

 

I just noticed there's an app installed on a recently acquired pixel 4a 5g, "android system intelligence", which I never found installed on other phones like moto or xiaomi ones.

It also had by default a bunch of permissions granted, which I removes, and only left it with notifications.

Is this a system app I should leave working with more permissions? Should I disable it instead (if possible, I didn't try)?

Is it required for an android system proper functionality? Is it bad to remove all permissions except by the notifications one? Does this damage functionality?

I'm just suspecting about an "android intelligence" thing.

What have others done about it?

 

Hi !

I recently got a pixel 4a 5g (bramble), and when installing, I noticed there's a difference with respect other phones I've installed lineageos on, like motorola, xiomi redmi 4x (discontinued) and others.

On this pixel, and probably others, one needs to flash a boot.img, a dtbo.img and a vendor_boot.img, before sideloading lineageos. The vendor_boot.img is supposed to be the equivalent to the recovery.img.

On other phones there's only a recovery.img to flash, prior to sideloading lineageos.

Now, on this pixel majore version upgrades I see documented only the sideload of lineageos. For other phones I usually upgrade both, the recovery.img and then sideload the new major version of lineage. So not sure if I should then should flash all images, boot, dtbo and vendor_boot, when upgrading on major versions. I guess I could, but I'm wondering.

Moreover, even on same major OTA upgrades, I'm wondering what gets upgraded, if I have selected OTA upgrades to also upgrade recovery image, would it just upgrade the vendor_boot one, or would it flash all other images?

It's just that it involves flashing several other images, not matching the ones for other phones, :)

Thanks !
