I love the security aspects and it’s about time that desktop apps cannot access all your files & apps.
But the implementation is IMO improveable. Maybe by the makers of flatpak, maybe by the app developers. A simple Error message like this one would have helped:
Error: Cannot access directory /data, please grant the permission by following these steps (…)
Not OP, but what annoys me are permission issues. I installed a program that couldn’t access a specific folder and it took me quite a while to find out that this is not an issue of the app, but the flatpak didn’t have this directory in its whitelist.
Also, when one flatpak should interact with another flatpak, it gets messy (e.g. steam/mangohud).
There is an interesting Tom Scott video about this area.
True. I really wonder why they’re not tackling the issue more. It seems that there are several different areas to adress, from farming to industry to vehicles.
The “more toxic than ever” part seems to be based on subjective opinions, not on data.
You can trim it even further:
That’s good news.
For a start, try hosting something in your own home. A raspberry or an older PC or laptop should be enough.
My first projects were a print server (so I can print via wifi) and a file server. Try to find something that is useful for you.
Only start hosting on the internet when you’ve learned the basics and have more experience.
Maybe do a trace with wireshark and compare the connection attempts?
Most website blocks are done on a dns level, maybe vivaldi doesn’t accept the “wrong” dns replies, uses DNS-over-HTTPS or doesn’t query any affected dns servers.
It seems like a tedious workflow, but the end result is quite good.
Interesting. What is tge reasoning behind only fetching the comments vs. a full fediverse integration?
For me, it seems like it would be a good time to fork the plugins and release them seperately.
Maybe because many streaming services have locked their 4k content behind some specific apps and platforms and offer lower resolutions on general desktop PCs.
Generally, we (sadly) see smart monitors come up like smart TVs did ten years ago.
Some noteable features include streaming apps (netflix…) and wireless screen mirroring from phones.
As for me, I just visit this site to see the next sales. But it’s a neat idea
Really? At least 90% of packets I get are deposited without signature.
I think it is necessary to make a difference between delivering cheap stuff and a new iPhone or laptop.
I think counting fediverse users is about as difficult as counting e-mail adresses.
If you vote, post or comment, you count as active user.
This kind of spam is luckily pretty rare in europe, I get maybe one or two spam calls a year.
