I am not talking about the git provider, I am talking about “Linux project”. I know we are kind of on “@linux@lemmy.ml”, but how many tools you use do you think are truly Linux specific? Even some long time linuxisms like libinput and DRM have been ported over to BSDs for example.

“snap”? You mean, Snapcraft, the most evil of software?

Sheet thin bendable plastic like that is difficult to break without tools. Especially while you are in progress of drinking from it. I was referring to glass shards going into people if it wasn’t clear. There’s already plastics in people (for various reasons, not just straws), not much to loose there.

Why would you assume I am German? Also, the person you were thinking of is from Austria.

Glass is glass and glass breaks. Win win for overpopulation, though.

Been on this post before but just noticed you mentioned “Linux project” as if everything open source (or even source available) is Linux. Quite the ignorance…

That’s kind of the point of git

Again, you seem to be missing the point. Nobody would be “removing permissions with xyz tool”. People are told something is safe, therefore it must be safe. If it’s not then it’s not. And again with PGP, one example how a “simple user” could have PGP keys is if they use PGP email at work. Management != tech people, so container must equal safe in ooga booga brains. Keys get stolen because of supply chain (remember that library updates are separate and slower for flatpak). Container must equal safe, so everyone disregards what was written about XYZ program and the one to blame becomes the simple office worker*, another victim of capitalism*. Or the IT guy. My point is, marketing wrong.

click the red “medium risk”

Literally how the fuck was I, or let alone “a simple user”, is supposed to know that? “Intuitive, uncluttered UI” my ass. Also “The software developer has verified their identity, which makes the app more likely to be safe” ??? How Android wannabe (without actually being anything like Android) do they want to be???

not a problem of flathub

The problem of flathub is the illusion of safety.

“Full control” and “cell phone” are fundamentally incompatible. Modem firmware is always a black box, most communication hasn’t been reversed yet, the cell towers are black boxes.

Closest you can get is use an actual pocket computer (well, they don’t make those anymore, disable the modem of a smartphone and it’s close enough). And for actual phone calls like for work, you could use one of these MT62xxx phones with MediaTek MAUI. Turn it off when you don’t need.

Before you go port Doom, basically none of them have an application interface compiled in, mostly because they cheap out on enough RAM to be useful with that. Most non-brand ones have fake “Facebook” and “YouTube” apps that just say “Network error” and exit. Although there is some vague leaked code in the footnotes for the article I’ve linked, and the latter one seems to be complete along with .chm documentation files, so could be a fun little project to build something somewhat functional out of it and maybe write a built-in application to share with a patch file (like with those pre-Symbian Nokia nuggets).

Is it new enough for GSI? Try some GSI build, like this. Won’t work if it’s one of the “32-bit mode” bs phones.

You are quite late on this invention

Textbook example ass conversation

FlatHub website

Where? I don’t see it here. Can click on the “manifest” but nobody will be reading all of that. Tried Tor Browser to rule out extensions. Maybe it’s actually communicating with the desktop client in some way which I don’t have?

Also, a backdoor in this particular program can steal your PGP keys. Some clueless guy who added it to GitHub for a tutorial may have some issues if it’s not password protected. It’s in no way like Android where “OpenKeychain” were forced to define a protocol and now reading a key prompts the user.

Oh, and one of the few dozen local privilege escalations found by AI in the mountains of trash of our great kernel completely negate all of this. It has to be AI because no human nowadays is doing all of that anymore. And enslaving humans to pick out code 24/7 isn’t legal anymore anywhere, ya know.

The browser is loosing millions of users that have not opted out of the user estimate ping, including by using forks that have it off by default*

EDIT: it’s not even that, it’s “statcounter”, that’s tracking being blocked lmaooo

And “we won’t tell you which ones can”

Nope, the security is basically a gate in the middle of a field.

“Large codebases”? Pfft, if it hits 6k lines, it’s time to scrap it and start over. /hj

Lol I am the opposite, if some language has classes I will try to avoid them as much as possible

If the owner could read he would be very upset!
