joojmachine,

Jesus bellydancing Christ people, read beyond the title of the post for once. This is good.

This will enable results that aren’t biased by the few users who find the option to opt-in (when it’s not presented front and center) or actively answer to surveys.

They are taking as much care as possible with their words to make it clear that THEY DO NOT WANT TO TRACK YOU OR ABUSE YOUR DATA, it’s just what’s necessary for studies to better understand the users’ needs.

  • You will have the chance to disable it front and center during the setup process;
  • No data will be sent before an active confirmation from the user during the setup process;
  • You will be able to fetch the data at any point to check what’s being collected
  • They are reaching out to the community for guidance on what type of data we find acceptable or not
  • You can have an active participation on the building of this tool

And specially this, for the OH GOD, ITS THE END OF THE LINOX DESKTOP among you:

IT’S A PROPOSAL, IT’S NOT BEING ACTIVELY DEVELOPED YET!

Not only there’s no reason to overreact, this could be the start of something beautiful for the Linux desktop, where the users not only actively participate but actively control their data

joojmachine,

How, exactly? They’ve been saying from the very beginning that they don’t need or want personally-identifiable data.

A bunch of improvements landing for Firefox on Linux smartphones (floss.social)

In the past couple of days both Pipewire (and with it libcamera) support and hardware video decoding with V4L2-M2M landed for Firefox to work better on Linux smartphones, which development for has started to grow exponentially in the last months. Great news overall for the future of the mobile platform!

joojmachine,

Have you tried Flare for a third-party Signal app? I'm not sure if it is responsive though.

joojmachine,

Give them time.

Total Cookie Protection also was recently introduced as a "Strict mode-only" feature for a while and just with the latest version it became part of the default, same as every new big privacy feature they introduced.

FFmpeg will be part of Fedora's official repos with Fedora 36 (src.fedoraproject.org)

Due to licensing issues, ffmpeg and its encoders/decoders were always a pain point to new users on Fedora (and it will still require some manual intervention to get everything working correctly due to those licensing issues), BUT it's halfway there now, because ffmpeg is finally coming to the main repos of the distro, with the...

joojmachine,

The tl;dr is that now, out of the box, Fedora users get ffmpeg-free, with all of the codecs that can be provided without licensing issues, and users only need to tap into RPMFusion of they really need those codecs.

joojmachine,

yeah it’s been so long it’s part of the fedora repos now lol

PSA: If you have a LUKS encrypted system and a TPM2 chip, you can put it to good use

One of the main things that put people off having a LUKS encrypted system is having to input the LUKS password on every boot, even if it brings a lot more safety to your system to do so. So, what if I told you that there’s a way to have your encryption cake and eat it too? TPM2 is the answer....

PSA: NVIDIA drivers and Secure Boot are not mutually exclusive anymore, and here's how to finally do it (blog.monosoul.dev)

I've been using Fedora for the best part of 4 months now, and one of the only gripes I had with the distro is that there wasn't a way to automatically sign the NVIDIA kernel modules after each update, so users like me needed to either disable secure boot (which I could do, but didn't want to because I'm stubborn and managed to...

joojmachine,

Why bad news? It means that there’s an universal package with official support for every distro instead of them just supporting Debian/Ubuntu and everything else being just… kinda there and unnoficial.
