To make the best out of flatpak, it's best to think of it as a new sandboxed distribution that lives on your host system. E.g You could check if a specific theme is installable as a flatpak application. Flatpaks are not perfect and I h

Arch has been bliss for me. I'm heavy on Flatpaks and primarily use Arch as a base operating system with very minimal config changes.

AI for coding tasks still needs a great deal of handholding. Someone senior needs to delete roughly 1/4 of the consistent garbage it currently adds to the acceptable output and still maintain the same code.

I once mistakenly broke NixOS (ignore the rumors, it's not unbreakable) and that gave me a reason to break free from the IAC bondage. In the short time I used NixOS it only led me to more rabbit holes inside the OS instead of managing

The answer you're looking for is Aegis vault backup + Syncthing or Nextcloud. Seriously. I once lost my Authy app data and didn't have it installed on any other of my devices (silly requirement tbh). I don't know whether clou

How many people are willing to directly pay for content on those other platforms vs those who are not? Contrast that to Onlyfans' monetization success rate.

> So you want to instead do the exact opposite – ask the consumers to pay and fund your creators with that money. I think it's only Onlyfans that can get away with such a business model.

Mozilla's Firefox is the 'Google' of the FOSS world. Too big, too data (telemetry) hungry. They have even experimented with doing ads. I could go on and on. You cannot be preaching about privacy and refuse to provide a simple

Believe it. Firefox is kind of unbeaten in this regard. There was a study carried out on what kinds of data leaks on browsers during launch [0] but Chromium specifically wasn't measured. I can only infer Safe browsing to be a leak poin

I want to like Firefox and ditch Chromium just because of this whole MV3 kerfuffle but it's not like Firefox is any better. Besides, Firefox has unilaterally killed off useful features like PWAs in the recent past. It's too flawed

This old article only proves how vulnerable Signal is by relying on the security (or lack thereof) of other 3rd party service providers. The phone number requirement should be removed if Signal wants to be taken seriously. Maybe the next hi

I thought they were pushing it when they announced MV3, which would purposely can ad blockers. But this would finally put the nail to this coffin. Now I'm even more curious to see how badly Chromium bangles this migration to V3. I&#x27
