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.

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.

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.

no social media, no browser
marketing material: social media in a glorified browser

Where I am from, there are still basic 2G MediaTek MAUI phones with no application platform being pooped out to street markets. With more sophisticated models doing J2ME (yes, really) and KaiOS + 3G. Lots of brands tho the most popular is literally called “Sigma Mobile”.

If you use a feature complete Wayland compositor and compare it to equivalents (RIP velox), then Wayland basically offers more consistent pen and multitouch support and stuff, while being faster.

There’s no 2D acceleration in Wayland and that’s by design, it’s made for new GPUs that don’t have 2D anyway anymore. Programs either draw pixels or start up 3D.

XLibre is trying the opposite and is actually merging various 2D drivers for old and niche hardware, like ct65550 as found in the Toshiba Libretto 50ct among others. Most of these originate from distribution forks (NetBSD in this case). T2 Linux also maintains a patch to bring back lots of more ancient 2D drivers that were removed in 2012.

that’s why I don’t like port 80 and that damn “dns” cia project

Goto bank, wait in line, show your ID, they give you some fancy pieces of paper and decrement the number in a table somewhere for the “virtual card”. You give the fancy pieces of paper to a cashier (who keeps basically none because capitalism) as payment.

There are other reasons to not use Linux, but Linux (+glibc +systemd +libinput…) is basically “the Unix” nowadays…

Ngl we basically can’t buy anything anymore

None because I try to avoid bringing it in the first place. It’s my 2FA box.
