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?
EFF still recommend Signal (and others) for people fitting various risk profiles: https://ssd.eff.org/
Google is also going with a combined approach: https://security.googleblog.com/2023/08/toward-quantum-resilient-security-keys.html
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! </sarcasm>
While it ended up shutting down, the fact that Google Stadia was also a Linux-based gaming platform might also have factored into the ecosystem improvements and interest, maybe just a little bit
It’s possible that SteamOS and the SteamDeck are part of the incentive that finally made nVidia get to work on open-source GPU drivers and Wayland-compatibility
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
I love this part in the sidebar:
“It is correct to call Borealopelta an ankylosaur (which would mean Ankylosauria) or a nodosaur (which would mean Nodosauridae). You just can’t call it an Ankylosaurid, Ankylosaurine, or Ankylosauridae (as these have specific meanings).”
I’m a huge fan of nushell
Hopefully we’ll see more driver developers pick up Rust
Weird, I’ve been using 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 scale with sway (wlroots) for a while now
So, is this announcement for something new? Or this standardizing/stabilising something that has already been working (in potentially a different / non-standard way) so far?
I think the point being made here is not against you, but against the privilege that professional athletes in Western countries enjoy
It is normal for them to exist in a space where they can say very basic things about human rights
And yet, it is normal for others (e.g. citizens of Qatar, but also billions of other humans on earth) to exist in spaces where human rights are not allowed to be discussed
I’ve been using https://github.com/TrackerControl/tracker-control-android which is effectively the same thing, just open-source (there’s an F-Droid link there if you don’t like Google Play)
I think Poettering’s assumption here, which I agree with, is that it’s difficult to produce software without bugs, and it’s even difficult to patch those bugs without ever introducing new bugs
But, let’s pretend that we’ve accomplished this and never have to fix any bugs: we’ll still have to update firmware and other software components when a new CPU or other device needs to be supported
Although, admittedly, a user might not decide to install a hardware-enablement update if they know in-advance that they’ll never upgrade their hardware or plug in a new device
It’s mostly a certification thing (which is performed by Intel): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)#Royalty_situation
According to that, anyone can make the standalone chips now regardless of CPU (although most of them are still made by Intel, I think)
Thunderbolt 4 is not exclusive to Intel, only 1-3
I’ve just ordered parts for a new AMD system with Thunderbolt 4 (transferring some parts from an older machine): https://pcpartpicker.com/user/jokeyrhyme/saved/dLCRVn
Perhaps? https://github.com/mozilla/TTS
Microsoft posses a vast corpus of code that they unambiguously own the copyright over: their own private code for Windows, Office, Visual Studio, etc, plus all of their open-source stuff
It’s pretty telling that the models were not trained using Microsoft’s own code, but everyone else’s instead
Not disagreeing at all, but I’d like to add some information here to support your correction
There’s a GlobalShortcuts portal ( https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/#gdbus-org.freedesktop.impl.portal.GlobalShortcuts ), and this is implemented for hyprland in xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland ( https://github.com/hyprwm/xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland/blob/b2fc1110963fa583ad5348a9dc0101bd58ceac7a/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: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde/-/blob/master/data/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)
