There is old stuff there which is one of the reasons grapheneos does not directly deliver their apps trough the store, there are many other reasons, you quickly find the reddit thread to that.

I do not need to defend nor shit-talk f-droid, someone else did that for me already, just check my community I linked the f-droid article myself + wrote my own article about f-droid insecurity.


Stock typically comes with more preinstalled apps, does not scale, the comparison is also lacking since power users quickly can disable those background apps, that people often love to call bloatware. Again knowledge is everything as you can quickly tweaks aosp pretty easily and also get very solid OS.

You can also isolate apps with third-party apps that you even can get from F-Droid, island etc. there plenty… Once again you show knwoledge is key, not the OS.


You are delusional I find you 20 apps within seconds that got their last update in 2018.


  • You are not even a target if you are a power user. Because you know how to handle things, starts with knowledge and not the promises of a developer. I also can put sim card out, enable airplane mode and never store data on the device that can compromise me in the first place, this is not what this is about, usability starts with the average user, that is not you or me.
  • I disagree with the sandbox argument, as I recently leaked that you can break out of sandboxes, the promises here are worth nothing and security is not gained by trusting or choosing the - what you think - right tool, it starts and ends with knowledge and the relationship between community and developer. There is overwhelming examples that promises are worth nothing, see heartbleed, no one inspected the source code until someone actually did and look how insecure it is and this will always be the case because security promises are worth nothing until verified so far only handful of projects could hold that for long time of period and the game always, or often changes once there are platform updates which makes it less interesting for attackers to start over if there is no guarantee that previous exploit work or that you gain something out of it, i is more profitable to exploit servers with user data on it.

Most apps that not depend on Googles infrastructure are very quickly outdated, keyword - dead leftover apps - in the f-droid store and your example does not scale since you compare millions apps vs handful of f-droid apps usually coming already from privacy oriented people and not average developer who copy and paste their app together in the hope to make some money. F-Droid is not even a target because they have no paid app model, so its attractive or attackers to exploit apps since you find no credentials. Play Store is not perfect but offers reasonable compromise and security model if you do not tamper with your phone that break tose features.

All I wanted to say here, and no I do not use GrapheneOS and CalyxOS, I only teste then here and then. Since I think both devs scam their users to make cash out of it with questionable promises. I do not believe in opsec to begin with.


In real world the argument does not hold since your hardening becomes pointless once it eats all your battery which makes it unusable in the real world. Or your fav apps just do not work.

It was long crippled, and still is, until the developer made the roll backward and started to sandbox google services because he realized that crippling everything is not what people actually want on a daily basis. However, sandboxing is still slower and there is nothing to argue here, is consumes more CPU processing power which automatically reduces battery lifetime as well as pressures resources.

For me usability is crippled if apps crashing, do not work in the first place, so my argumentation is correct.


Because less apps are crippled + better performance + battery lifetime.


Then install CalyxOS as its more usable and faster than GrapehenOS.


You can also use it as pi-hole, there are several projects for this.

I think our suggestion depends on what you want to do or archive, actual use your phone as phone, or as pi-hole, or as emulator … There are so many projects and ideas.

The Linux kernel does not use CVEs to identify security vulnerabilities for LTS Kernels.
This basically means that fixes for most security vulnerabilities are not be able to be back-ported to LTS kernels but on the other side around stable releases contain all security fixes made so far. In other words, use stable Kernels over LTS, whenever possible, assuming everything works for you and there are no specific circumstances such as working in an environment where you have no control over the Kernel - limited access etc.

There is not much to talk about, we had nuclear power and it did not worked out. We had disasters and the next are about to come, it is a mathematically statistic thing. You can build it as secure as you want, there will be unpredictable events and downplaying it is pure Hybris. Downplaying this is something I am not going to support and there are no convincing arguments as the waste problem will remain, even with newer thorium and thorium molten salt based reactors.

I do not like people creating communities to make a joke out of very serious topics. People already died and swiping this under the carpet hurts my and other peoples feelings. This is one of such communities which is destent to very fast will go out of control because people are sensitive to such topics, same like politics I for myself will say out of it because whatever you say can only hold against you because the next disaster will come and I do not think we should encourage or support it even further and lie that this is a good thing.

If people like to talk about okay, but without me and my passion for this, nor do I want to pretend that nuclear energy is something humanity as whole should continue to support. However, I get you point but I for myself try to stay out of it, which is why I block it, there is simply a fine line and I do not want to cross it.

What I am willing to talk about are alternatives and the pros and cons, but pretending that we should continue is simply bad, especially given the fact that we recently saw again what governments can and maybe will do, the next step to create dirty bombs out from it is not so far away and this is something that I cannot respect nor tolerate as a private person.





Added support for the following GPUs : - NVIDIA RTX A4000H - NVIDIA RTX A5500 ------------------- - Fixed a bug that could cause displays with HDMI or DisplayPort audio to be deselected as the default audio output device after resuming from suspend. - Fixed a regression that could cause OpenGL applications to hang or render incorrectly after suspend/resume cycles or VT-switches. - Fixed a bug, introduced in 495.29.05, that caused GPU "Model:" in /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/<Bus:Device.Function>/information to be "Unknown" for some GPUs. - Fixed a bug that caused the nvidia-settings control panel to print spurious error messages. - Fixed a bug that could prevent nvidia-installer from detecting the scripts/sign-file kernel module signing tool when using separate kernel source and output directories. - Fixed a bug which prevented kernel modules linked from precompiled kernel interface object files from being loaded on recent Linux kernels. This affected custom packages which were prepared with nvidia-installer's --add-this-kernel option, for example. ------------------- - [Dev Forum Announce](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/linux-solaris-and-freebsd-driver-510-60-02-production-branch-release/209134) - [Readme](https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/510.60.02/README/index.html) - [Direct download](https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/510.60.02/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.60.02.run)

MX my old love 🤗❤️. Glad they still go strong.






Are there plans to support BAT for donations, I already asked in chat but got no answer. I would like to use BAT because the system is trusted, and I can contribute monthly very easily trough my Browser.

Right now the domain is not verified, so I am asking in the hope to see more people auto-contributing.

THX for your answer.



Nothing, S. Jobs died and Apple continued. Billy G. also left Microsoft and they continued.

Someone always continues.

Never heard anyone using it besides doing some research, benchmark etc. tests.

It is the same story because the same alt-right people are behind. It also makes no sense to 2 man maintain a browser Vs. an entire Team.

If you want the name trademak story, here it is

They forked it without any change, absolute useless.








package-update-indicator might be enough for you.

sudo apt install package-update-indicator pk-update-icon

Synaptic would be an more in-depth alternative with more gimmicks. Countless other managers are mentioned here.


Freedom of speech as a concept has no limits, and at least within US law, has no limits there either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech#Limitations

Everything in the universe, including universe itself has limits.

just don’t like freedom of speech.

Cant take you serious, I am out of the discussion, there is no one on earth who does not like free speech, it is about misinformation and other variables, mentioned above and e.g. misinformation is not spreading freedom, it is to deceive others, on purpose or by accident.



Hate would be for example, slandering others, which is also explained in my Wikipedia link under limitations of free speech because causes hate and the repercussions that comes with it, as you say, lychings etc.


Freedom of speech has limits.

You want to protect others from possible hate, dis- and misinformation as well as deescalate. I do not see that it violates freedom of speech of freedom of religion. People can freely go to other instances if they seek advise regarding those topics or research themselves on the internet.

As owner you can be held liable for actions of your users and if they deliberately spread nonsense and stuff that hurts other people feelings, while disallowing such hot topics you just want to prevent this in the first place.

Censoring would be of for example the ISP directly blocks every access to research and opinions in the first place, which gives people absolute no indicators or possibility to get aware of it. This is not the case here, because you are just another Instance provider and write clearly before someone register there in public your rules and code of conduct down.

You also do not ban topics, you just decided for your instance that the topics are not your specialty or that you want to avoid possible conflicts because people can get emotional pretty fast.


Cryptsetup or dm-crypt are the normal standards for most Linux Distros, which you can manually enable on fresh installation, via GUI or trough cmdline installation, or network installation.

The reason why encryption is usually not enable by default is due to performance reasons and advance users typically work with encrypted swap containers instead which has some performance benefits. Same like Windows does not enable it by default btw. with the exception that Linux actually provides you with more GUI toggles here, - assuming you work with a GUI based installation - among some other benefits during installation like setting up swap etc.

VeraCrypt also works for Linux but is considerable not the standard because it is normally not preinstalled and you need to download, install and setup it afterwards. This alone can be critical, because such programs a large target for drive-by malware infections aka downloading fakes from third-party pages that might be knowingly or unknowingly infected or otherwise compromised.

As sasalzig stated correctly in most distros other solutions are integrated or usually preferred because for example cryptsetup has tremendous amount of maintainers, developers behind while other solutions are less popular or have less actual man and women power behind.



I hope this finally gets fixed once and for all on a global level. Triggers me the most. I know it is a theme, skin thing but it would be nice if that can be addressed on a global scale to avoid enforcing theme providers updating their themes.





It is not entirely clear what exactly you want, filter is just a common term in the audio scene… what to filter … remove frequencies or to reconstruct original sound. This is a difference.

  • Police uses Notch Filter, if your goal is to reconstruct voice, then this is your best bet.
  • Audacity and Reaper might have similar plugins.

If your goal is to lets say, filter frequency under 200 Hz to filter keyboard noise, equalizer APO would do, it is better than OBS Studio plugins because it uses a driver which works at lower latency without disorientation.



Thanks for your fast answer and detailed insight. Will check out the mentioned community, maybe you can put the link into the sidebar as reference.

Metal is so huge and has so many sub-genres, it is really hard even for me to see trough all of it.

PS

Welcome. 🙏


Is this connected to the nazi metal scene?

I am curious, since I hear metal myself and I know some nazis creating anti-fascist bands and forums. I am concerned that is why I am asking because nazis often claim to be left to avoid getting taken down.

Hope you can explain me the origin of this because I never heard of it. THX.



India just announced their plans to legalize Bitcoin, people might noted or predicted that and they see a chance to cash grab others. Other countries could follow, domino effect. India is also well-know for the indie filmmaker scene + the whole Bollywood surrounding it. Lots of potential things to extract from this, in a positive and negative way.

No need to down-vote this friends, just because NFT in the title, valid question deserves valid answer especially when Bitcoin and NFT has such a huge impact one way or another on all of us.


Yop, got my approval, better than pepecord.

You also can setup bridges to telegram and matrix. It is more stable and reliable compared to other solutions. To answer the question about federation, I would create my own if I had to choose.


I create no drama since I did not created this shameless thread which is designed to slander me.

I don’t care about op or his ban, I’m just laughing at you and the drama you create, most comments in here are about how you are a mega jerk and this is the second post I have seen directly complaining about YOU, I am not the problem here, YOU are.

I respond to slander and you exposed yourself as troll now.


I report you for constantly calling me a prick and then justify it with the worlds - since they’re right -.

Your entire existence here on Lemmy is to troll others.

4 user poster once again, nothing to help or add except insulting others.


True is that you cannot handle criticism and abuse this thread to slander me, reality, yes.

You called me again a prick, I reported this now. I will continue to do with every new insult until this thread gets closed, the bottom line is that you make Firefox community look bad because they love drama and abuse every opportunity to discredit each one another, this is actual the real hate.

OP does not get unbanned, no matter how hard you argue here.
