Look at the range of devices from GL.inet. They run a custom version of openwrt with a nice UI on top. But most are upstreamed and you can flash vanilla openwrt on them. They re quite cheap as well. I m not affiliated with them but I have b

You can use flatseal[0] to allow apps access to extra folders in the filesystem. It's a GUI app that makes it much easier than learning how to do the same thing from the command line. [0]: https://flathub.org/apps/

> This brings you to the same state as traditional package managers with little security Does it? From the flatpak state you have a far more clear path towards a sandboxed destination.

To what benefit? The privacy policy can change next week and there ll be nothing you can do about it. Unless you don't plan to read it as an individual but as part of an effort, like EFF does, to point out it's shortcomings.

Not exactly. I m successfully using Fedora SilverBlue with proprietary nvidia in Wayland. In the official docs it's not supported but Mutter (from Gnome) has the pieces in place to do so. However I don't use anything too specialis

I m not willing to spend time to search for a source but I remember reading that some newly produced flip phones have appropriately modified versions of play services.

And because the English language news sources are allowed to publish such things before the government approves them.

Will the end product be competitive if their launch costs are 2+ times the cost of their main competitor?

Same here. Happy user of self hosted nextcloud through the nextcloudpi project. It's been so care free I don't remember the setup details any more :)

Why is this the platform's fault? Life is full of change. Do we still mainly use horses to move around? Shouldn't there be a technical lead involved that identifies technical debt in the product and propose solutions? Of course th

IANAL, but my understanding is that this is not true. Free software is not sanctioned. Commercial contracts that revolve around it are however. For example I think Huawei can still use AOSP, but cannot licence play services because they req

If you look at the android sandbox architecture (I m guessing ios is similar but I m less familiar with it) there are intentional "holes" in the sandbox that are managed by the user permissions (hence the user does have a say). I

Yes. I 've used a free offering from https://freedns.afraid.org/ until I bought a domain of my own. There are other free offerings if you look around. Look at the documentation for the best supported options.

Apart from a lot of other issues mentioned here, this looks to me for a good argument of app sandboxing. It is a thing on mobile but not much on the desktop.

Check out the nextcloudpi project. Paid once for the pi/drive/case 4 years ago and been a happy user ever since. It's been so worry free that when I had to move house I had to read the docs again to make sure I do things righ

Do I remember wrong that Nuvia higher ups have stated that they wanted to bring products to market rather than get acquired? P.S. I know such statements shouldn't be taken at face value anyway. Just curious.

It's not a religion, from my POV at least. One of the things I try to do with my tech choices is watch my delta from mainstream options, where I expect most development and bug fixes happen. Given that systemd has been adopted by the b

F2 is an anti-pattern. It can be OK if you play casually in bronze/silver. But if you want to play more competitively you need to be able to have units split in different locations on the map executing different orders.

As a player who managed to get to masters on SC2:WoL I have two simple suggestions for you. 1. Look into what build orders you should use for different strategies. 2. Watch the replays of your games afterwards. You d be surprised how much t

Looks like a very good tool! Shame it doesn't support Fedora. I all be definitely checking it out.

TLDR. Because the ecosystem has less money, and therefore developers to polish it. P.S. Linux, by it's open nature, encourages users to tweak many things on the OS. This also helps to surface edge case bugs that were not encountered ea

The whole idea behind copyleft, hence free software as Stalman envisioned it, is to restrict the developer's freedom in favour of the user freedom.

This. Although I 'd suggest running Silverblue in a VM first to learn about package layering and flatpaks. (This was my migration path. Made sure all my use cases were working within the VM before I installed on bare metal.)

I m torn about this move. My gut reaction was that this was a bean-counter move. Thinking more about it the key issues I see with this move are: - CENTOS fills a need, that many users have and superficially it looks like Red Hat (IBM) is no

If they shared the sources it would guarantee doubling the lifetime of the device. By the way I think Qualcomm do share sources (through code Aurora?). But they don't upstream them. Writing this from a zl1 running LOS17.1 using Snapdra
