There have some rare extreme been cases where children lived with wild animals in forests and indeed they resembled their social behaviours. (Don't recall sources to include :( )

The scenario as described has many similarities with the movie 'The Jackal'. Also it says that the victim got out of the car after a distraction, even though he was traveling in a bulletproof car with an armed escort. This is a ve

Yes that may well happen. It's also noteworthy that the BTRFS change was driven by community members, mainly from Facebook.

It also works great with Newpipe. They now even have their own F-droid repository so that you can get the latest updates asap when YouTube makes a breaking and they fix it.

Are you sure? It's happening piece by piece so that its preferable for most people to bear one more bad thing than bear the cost of switching.

Is this going to be implemented in AOSP? Or Google Play Services?

I just format them with Gnome Disks (that uses LUKS in the background and supports many filesystems) and use a strong (LUKS) passphrase that goes in the password manager. Has been pretty reliable and widely available.

The user does have the freedom in forking the project and hosting it elsewhere. AGPL is actually about enforcing that the user has that option.

More available resources to update dependencies and hopefully plug in CI/CD pipelines. Curated runtimes by appstore/OS vendors would also help. Also since most if not all the code/images is open source, automated vulnerabilit

It's not flatpak, its the Gnome software center. Not the same thing. However removing the sandbox picture for apps that use the filesystem=host/home permissions on Gnome Software would be a better representation of reality.

by Iolaum 6y ago
In essense there's two main issues raised: 1. Apps still use the filesystem=host/home instead of intended portals bypassing the sandbox. 2. Common runtimes have un patched security issues. Re 1) This is a backwards compatibility o

I too have issues with the quality of their matrix server. For example server errors out if you try to change a room's notification settings (and the request fails).

While support can be dropped without warning it's unlikely to happen once a phone gets ported to a LOS version. Usually it s just that the phone gets dropped when LOS drops that version. Hence the key thing to watch out is whether the

As a pinephone owner I can tell you that non android based Linux phones are years away from having a feature set that would make them acceptable for a general consumer. I d definitely recommend the pinephone for playing with it and watching

You are assuming that the information that is publicly available is a representative sample of how Bill Gates spends his money. That may or may not be true.

It is because microG isn't an app but a system component of the operating system. It gets baked in when building the system.

What!? is that documented, shown somewhere? Any source you can provide that speaks about it?

Interesting, are there any examples on the internet for that process?

I intentionally left examples out because writing something that would be fair towards RMS is hard (and I don't want to spend the time to do it). It's also been some time since I read about this and I haven't saved the locati

The ask is not really to have a snap never update. The ask is that you have the option to update only after a user allows it. This has the side effect that if the user never says yes, the app never updates. However the true goal is that you

Pinebook pro is using an arm64 cpu instead of an x86. That creates a big list of problems that you don't have on x86 because that's what all linux desktop developers have (mostly) been targeting. As one example, I was surprised to

VSCodium flatpak works fine for me. The caveat is that I use the operating system's terminal instead of the one from VSCodium (for things like make test, python environments, etc). VSCodium's terminal operates on a sandboxed envir

At worst the "joke" sandbox value of flatpaks is the same as deb/rpm packages and snap "clasic" confinement. So as a user, you don't lose anything security wise by moving to flatpaks. Flatpak, as well as snaps

That's why its best to find free software solutions for your computing needs where possible. The options a user has on free software solutions discourage that behaviour.

You don't have to worry about that BS if you use free software alternatives either. Plus you get to contribute to an alternative ecosystem that is also a lawful and moral alternative (Because piracy is both illegal and immoral in many
