bacteriostat,

The data leak is of AADHAR database. Which is a proof of identity that is required by everyone to avail government services. It is even used for SIM registration and opening bank account.

Government has been recently trying to link Voter IDs to AADHAR. It is already linked to Tax Account called PAN.

It has been turned it to a surveillance tool and this leak can be huge if true.

bacteriostat,

That’s just one specific issue. It doesn’t mean that the whole plasma wayland session is a pain. Been using it for more than a year now.

bacteriostat,

The conflict was triggered when the state High Court gave a verdict in favour of the Meiti community for a long standing demand for special previliges.

The Wikipedia article about the violence has a good overview.

bacteriostat,

Yup. I am myself running Plasma Wayland on 2 laptops (both Ryzen APUs) for over an year now. Seems like Nvidia is the biggest limiting factor.

bacteriostat, (edited )

That's an unusual issue, have you reported it on bugs.kde.org ?

bacteriostat,

LOL

bacteriostat,

I have 2 systems and both are AMD machines with impressive performance per watt (obviously not as good as Apple's M series). Intel has a long way to go before they can be a genuine alternative.

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!

While Linux phones seem a distant dream. I think these are the major features that are needed for it to be a suitable daily driver for developers:

  • Waydroid - Cause we gotta have android apps.
  • Proper 5G/4G/3G Support.
  • Availability of more devices that can run Linux.
bacteriostat,

Signature for Izzy and Github are same.

bacteriostat,

I am afraid, Google might never do it.

bacteriostat,

First they went after Vanced, now Invidious. With the ongoing recession, companies are realising that less and less people would be be willing to pay for subscriptions and to increase their revenue they are going to tie all the loose ends they have allowed over the years.

bacteriostat,

I am not aware of any call blocker. Sorry!

bacteriostat,

I am also stuck on Simple SMS. I don't really communicate on SMS and it is just for recieving bank messages so not super important. QKSMS was a great SMS app but it is not getting active development anymore.

bacteriostat,

I guess you wanted to comment on the browser extension post, this one is for Android apps.

bacteriostat,

100% relatable, installing it right now.

bacteriostat,

Whoops! I have been reading it wrong all this while.

Not on Jerboa but if your instance allows it the mobile web interface will have the option to create it.

bacteriostat,

No, infact sync would make the moderation system useless. I think there is going to be both advantages and disadvantages with this approach. One big disadvantage is differentiating the communities because users would be expected to check the server name.

bacteriostat,

I also have a lot of questions regarding how same communities on different servers would look like. There are already 2 c/technology communities. Are they totally seprate or the data is synced between the two?

bacteriostat,

Yeah, maybe not completely useless.

bacteriostat,

Are they going to be 1 to 1?

bacteriostat,

I didn't even have a reddit account and just used RedReader as a resource lol. I agree that we need to interact on the platform to make the kind of content that Reddit has.

bacteriostat,

Oh yeah, I can just copy a post/comment link and access it on Tusky. Makes sense.

bacteriostat,

I could see the lemmy accounts on my Mastodon client (Tusky) but the posts weren't showing. Is it possible that my mastodon client needs to support it?
