Without being specific, I’d try to get something with firmware updates available on LVFS: fwupd.org

And you might want to check for distribution specific notes on that model e.g.

If Wayland is more important to you than AI/ML/LLMs then you probably don’t want anything with an nVidia GPU

We need a verified check-mark for true wayland users :P

I did actually do this already, separate from working on this issue, but can confirm the intermittent problems with the combination of wpa_supplicant and systemd-networkd

There’s a portal for Global Shortcuts: …github.io/…/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalSho…

KDE and Hyprland already implement it, and COSMIC seems likely to

On the app side, if we can get the major toolkits to adopt it, then hopefully that covers most actively-maintained apps (but it’s unlikely to cover legacy apps): github.com/electron/electron/issues/38288

I’m not an expert, but my understanding of the Global Shortcuts portal is that it’s very much designed for the push-to-talk use case where an app is not focused but still receives button events for exactly the keys its interested in and no other keys: I think this would cause problems if an app requested every key (e.g. if the request was approved then no keys would work in every other app)

It’ll be interesting to see how the remaining compatibility/accessibility issues are tackled, either in portals or in wayland protocols

Gosh, I’m so fascinated by the concept of removing/hiding the tabs implementation from every app and relying 100% on the window manager to provide this

Wayland breaks global hotkeys: I present to you: Hyprland (where you can get global hotkeys). Now, it is normally not allowed by design, as a security measure

Not disagreeing at all, but I’d like to add some information here to support your correction

There’s a GlobalShortcuts portal ( flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/-… ), and this is implemented for hyprland in xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland ( github.com/hyprwm/…/hyprland.portal#L3 )

So, technically, there is nothing in the wayland collection of protocols that supports global keyboard shortcuts, but (along with lots of other supporting functionality), this is addressed via the collection of portal APIs

As it happens, KDE already supports the GlobalShortcuts portal: invent.kde.org/plasma/…/kde.portal#L3

Any desktop can provide an implementation of the GlobalShortcuts portal, and any app can adopt it as required (although if it’s implemented within popular toolkits/frameworks, then app developers won’t have to even think about it)

Here are related tracking issues:

Proton emails are stored in an encrypted form that goes beyond the simple authentication that is part of the POP/IMAP specifications

Proton does have open-source bridges/proxies, so they aren’t hiding these details from us

Perhaps Thunderbird could be enhanced to support the Proton features directly?

Quantum Resistance and the Signal Protocol (signal.org)

We believe that the key encapsulation mechanism we have selected, CRYSTALS-Kyber, is built on solid foundations, but to be safe we do not want to simply replace our existing elliptic curve cryptography foundations with a post-quantum public key cryptosystem. Instead, we are augmenting our existing cryptosystems such that an...

EFF still recommend Signal (and others) for people fitting various risk profiles: ssd.eff.org

I encounter misinformation and other FUD about immutable distributions quite frequently

Imagine a root filesystem that is only modified when you expect, instead of at any time by any software on your system, the horror!

Google is activating their own Bluetooth-based tracking network (blog.google)

That’s why later this summer, we're launching a refreshed Find My Device experience that makes it easier than ever to locate your devices and belongings quickly and securely by ringing compatible devices or viewing their location on a map in the app – even when they’re offline. The new Find My Device network will harness...

Bloatware pushes the Galaxy S23 Android OS to an incredible 60GB (arstechnica.com)

We can take a few guesses as to why things are so big. First, Samsung is notorious for having a shoddy software division that pumps out low-quality code. The company tends to change everything in Android just for change's sake, and it's hard to imagine those changes are very good....

I bought a sealed device, with the intention of doing development but have not yet done anything like that

I installed GadgetBridge on my Android phone, paired it with the watch, uploaded the latest PineTime firmware, all without looking at code or opening it up or anything

It works perfectly fine as a basic watch with step counter and heart-rate monitor (although, I am not sure how accurate these features are)

If you can browse the web, download files, and find that file again when using a different app, then I think you'll be fine

How sustainable are fake meats? (Spoiler: much better than real meat/dairy) (arstechnica.com)

Indeed, when independent researchers at Johns Hopkins University decided to get the best estimates they could by combing through the published literature, they found that in the 11 life cycle analyses they turned up, the average greenhouse gas footprint from plant-based meats was just 7 percent of beef for an equivalent amount...

Yeah, I was toying with the hypothetical of needing a licence to eat beef

That way, only people who actually need and use all that protein can get it (e.g. body builders, people with specific medical needs)

That would solve the demand side, at least
