@linux Sharing a 'small' inconvenience I had to fix with #opensuse#slowroll (I suspect #tumbleweed is the same) - I couldn't launch snaps (spotify, bitwarden) after update - error was: cannot determine seccomp compiler version in generateSystemKey fork/exec /usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp: no such file or directory
The fix (I first tried re-installing, didn't work) was to:
a. locate snap-seccomp - was in /usr/libexec/snapd
b. symlink: ln -s /usr/libexec/snapd /usr/lib/snapd
@pastermil@linux I use both. There are packages where the website officially lists snap packages, no flatpaks.
Unless the project website has a link/install instruction recommending flatpak, I prefer either the distribution package where available, or snap otherwise - this is more from a supply-chain perspective - since snap requires the original developers of the package to package snaps.
If the developers have officially listed flatpak on their site, that however, is good enough for me.
@pastermil@linux the attack surface for something that isn't officially maintained by the developers, and that doesn't have more vetting (e.g. distribution packages) opens up room for malicious actors.
e.g. #arch / #aur recommends verifying scripts manually before installing, and malicious scripts have been found and removed.
There are actors like #jiatan out there. An unofficial #flatpak needs manual verification before install - that's why I just go with #snap if the flatpak isn't official
@Bitrot@linux interesting, thank you for that information: I had been under the impression they did do manual verification of authors.
I did some checking: the closest I found to verification was this (so you're right- no need to be the original author, but a bit of vetting does seem involved).
Even better - you can see the whole thread from both #lemmy and from #Mastodon . However, you only see the conversation, not upvotes/downvotes in mastodon, while you see votes too in Lemmy.
Edit: I tried to not tag @firefox this time to see if my reply showed up on Lemmy. It didn't.
Tagging so the Lemmy thread also shows the reply and pictures.
Edit++: so retroactive tagging doesn't work โน๏ธ...nvm, it just took a bit of time to update!
Pearl Kendrick, Loney Gordon and Grace Eldering studied pertussis in the 1930s. They developed and ran the first large scale study of a successful vaccine for the disease.
The first vaccine against pertussis was developed in the 1930s by pediatrician Leila Denmark.
Tip of the day: set your #browser to open links #incognito by default. I have friends sending #facebook#instagram#youtube links to share funny stuff they find online. I typically used #duckduckgobrowser as my default on my phone. However, #firefox displays stuff much better, particularly sites like #lemmy . So I set my firefox settings to open #private by default.
I've been printing custom #greetingcards this year for posting to family and friends. #openclipart has been a great resource. What are done other great #publicdomain resources you've used for pictures?
@adamsdesk mine is just hobby printing custom cards to give to family and friends during holiday season, but I don't want to infringe usage rights. Since I'm not selling cards, I don't have any intent of buying pictures though. I think #pixabay is paid?
I've settled down a bit after an initial #distrohopping adventure ever since #ubuntu starting worrying me. Here's what I've settled down on now, after experimenting with different setups:
@AngryAnt it's a feature I want so much that I'm tempted to hack at the code (looked fairly well factored on a cursory look) to add the feature.
I'm not an expert, and know close to nothing about window management, so don't get your hopes up. But it is interesting personally: best case - I i get the feature and contribute, worst - I get to examine the architecture of a bunch of window managers.
