Flatpak is still in the packager teething stage - it’s going to be a couple/few years before all of the packaging and permission kinks are worked out. There’s already progress, I’m spending a lot less time unfucking flatpak permissions with flatseal than I was in 2019.

I wish signal supported multiple devices, it’s 2023 and I still can’t check my messages from my tablet.

That’s what happens when you openly express contempt for your userbase after doing nothing about spam or influence operations for 8+ years.

Oh, yeah, Lemmy is tiny by comparison. We have to post content instead of just consuming it.

Thanks for making the effort to host and support the community!

Ps: Boost gang! 🚀

It’s also FOSS, Reddit changing their API fee structure was Reddit trying to capture all third party app income and RedReader generated none.

Too many things assume Chrome when they’re handing off authentication tokens to an app so I just leave it as the default browser.

Something like linksheet would probably be the best way (short of selecting a custom tab provider anyway) of handling links but it’s an overwhelming amount of setup to configure link handling for everything you have installed.

Pack the court.

It’s not like they’re going to resign and there’s no mechanism to remove them so, uh, unless you’re advocating violence I don’t see how that’s going to work. I think we need to pack the court up to around 17 justices and get back to the business of government instead of playing activist on guns, civil rights, corporate power and abortion.

Right, but that mechanism presupposes functional government and about half of the government doesn’t give a shit about governing, or anything other than seizing power at the moment, so that’s not going to happen.

Mute is local client-side filtering, blocking happens server side.

When you mute something it’s just filtered out of the view you’re presented with in the client - you’ll still see that content if you visit using a web browser.

Two points for anyone who hasn’t read the article:

He pulled the fire alarm to delay the vote so that legislators had time to read what they were voting on - Republicans wanted to ram through a vote without waiting the agreed 72h to allow anyone to read the bill.

And:

Legislators are immune from prosecution of any crime less than a felony while they’re in session, so pulling the fire alarm doesn’t matter anyway. No one can touch this dude for this, the worst they can do is make angry noises on TV.

Wake up babe, new discord sticker just dropped

Delay is a weird way to phrase “not planned any time in the next few years.”

Works great with Boost. I’m also using the mastodon redirect tool as well.

They’re made using Stable Diffusion and the controlnet model. You use a black & white image to bias SD toward the design you want as the hidden message in the final image. If you saw the renaissance village spiral image that’s been all over the internet for a couple of weeks these are made the same way:

reddit.com/…/free_tool_to_generate_hidden_text_us…

They’re GPU time intensive so I don’t know of any free site that’ll make them for you, most people just fire up stable diffusion locally. I’m sure someone will come up with a minified model that’s cheap enough to do that eventually but I don’t think it exists yet.

Or if you want to check your messages on more than one device. I don’t like telegram much but I use it because I can access my messages from both my phone and tablet, signal is locked to my phone and my pc.

I know people don’t really like systemd much but goddamn if systemd-boot isn’t easier to work with than grub. On my last two Arch installs I’ve used systemd-boot and I have absolutely no complaints. I don’t alway need an entire mini OS to boot my kernel.

I think we’ve all felt the pain of dealing with brittle or overly complicated grub installs before.

It’s last week’s big libwebp vulnerability again.

Edit: this underlying vuln is why last week’s CVE was such a big deal, anything using webp is at risk including a whole big pile of electron apps that everyone uses.

seaQueue, 7 months ago

It’s the full disclosure of the ImageIO webp vuln from last week, this is the root cause.

It’s Chromium in different (Microsoft branded) clothes with whatever gewgaws Microsoft can hang off it for contractual income. Occasionally there’s a good reason to use edge over Chromium, but that’s limited to shit like “it can stream 1080p content from Netflix” and such. It’s not outright bad like ie was but I don’t see the reason to use it daily over, say, Chromium.

seaQueue, 7 months ago

If you’re using Linux, obviously you wouldn’t be using Edge.

Says you, it’s pretty good for streaming 1080p content sometimes. For a while it was the only way to get 1080p streams from Netflix on Linux so it does have limited utility.
