Does your OS use protected memory? Why? If you knew all your programs, and that they are well-behaved, there is no need for that. But we do use protected memory. And IOMMU (you know all the peripherals that you connect to your computer as w

Ubuntu single-handedly delayed Wayland adoption by years. They didn't switch to Wayland by default, because the apps weren't ready. The apps weren't ready, because they ran on current Ubuntu just fine, so why would they chang

It does. Just not with gates wide open. For example, screenshots. It is still possible to make screenshots. It is not possible to make screenshots without the user knowing. What use case do you have to make screenshots without user knowledg

With hero3 it is not a problem, see the very first sentence. It does not stream over usb. There's no app to simulate webcam on the host operating system. Hero3 outputs hdmi, you use some hdmi-to-usb dongle, which are plain old USB UVC

With gopro, it depends on the model and how you connect it. I did use gopro (an older one, hero3) as a webcam, and it did work, to a point. Hero3 has hdmi output (not clean, but it dissapears after few seconds), so connecting it via hdmi ca

RDP is not that different from networked X11 as you think it is. RDP originally also transmitted GDI commands, just like X11 transmitted X11 commands. RDP can also remote only a single app (it is called RemoteApp), it is not bound to remoti

Current GNOME has RDP server build-in. It is a bit cumbersome, but it is there, works, and the cumbersomeness will be improved upon.

Both Firefox and Chrome can get the kerberos ticket themselves, but it is necessary to whitelist sites that can use spnego. For Firefox, the settings are separate for ntlm and spnego, so one can be disabled and the other whitelisted. Intere

In reality, there would be no such trade. You would have micro payments per visit AND advertising AND tracking AND tracking popups. Because they can and what are you going to do about it anyway?

Samsung Easy Document Creator scanner app. With it, I could at least scan. Image Capture/Preview just produce invalid files. (Samsung M2070w). Now to scan I have to use Linux or Windows machine.

As someone who normally doesn't use iOS, it is always a chore to find what I'm looking for. That means that the logic of the hierarchy is not intuitive and to use it, you need learned behaviour.

Oh, that's how you meant it. Sorry for misunderstanding. Yes, the new naming scheme is way more understandable for normal users.

Docker on Mac (and Windows) is a full-blown VM. The containers assume Linux, so they are getting it -- inside that VM. That also brings issue with networking. Sure, if you are using the bridged (in Docker's parlance) networks, you won&

If you have a piece of software, that can read supposedly encrypted messages on several devices, it is obvious that it does something with the keys. You don't have to audit the compiler and argument into ad-absurdum.

The point of GP was that both Telegram and Signal have the same level of "proprietaryness". Either you call both proprietary, or neither. They are both documented, both have source code of implementation available.

"Just fine" by conveniently managing the keys for you. You have no idea what they really do with them. Well, except Threema. Last time I used it, it was not possible to receive their messages across multiple devices simultaneously

Yes, it reinstalled itself in 22.04. As you say, in 20.04 it stayed gone. I don't see it as an issue of just package formats. It is more of issue, that they want to go someplace and I may want to go someplace else, and the two places a
