barbara,

I hope your big bucks are big millions

Anyway, full and very easy android app support would be enough. Imaging installing an android apk app via your fdroid software store without thinking about it. Just like a flatpak. That’s the future I want to live in.

barbara,

So it’s a joke by suse themself?

barbara,

With an e like in German or a mix between e and a but not with an a

barbara,

Imo, router is a very very big step for a normal person.

barbara,

You could use his nextcloud account and use www.f-droid.org/en/…/com.mendhak.gpslogger/ to upload your location to phonetrack within nextcloud.

barbara,

Did you already look into osmand and telegram?

barbara,

That’s why I responded to you. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.osmand.…

I wouldn’t suggest a solution using telegram to anyone not already using it.

Got tracked down for my school reunion

Today I was contacted by someone at work. She graduated school with me and our 20 year reunion was coming up. Why did she contact me at work? It was the only way they were able to track me down. I was included in promotional material by name. She told me I "was the hardest to track down"and I had to smile....

barbara, (edited )

It may not always be good to be invisible. You could make a website for yourself sich that people can find you and contact you. You can tgen decide if you want to write back. E.g a mastodon account would be enough. You don’t gave to blog with that acc.

barbara,

Shit 😂

Do you take pictures with GPS tags on?

Hiya, so quickly wondering wether you have enabled this or not. Obviously it’s not great for privacy, but it also seems very nice to have for image cloud solutions, so that images can be sorted based on location. Are there any good solutions for this? I’d like have it enabled, but also afraid of sharing images with sensitive...

barbara,

Yes of course. Noone has access to the pictures but me. And even if some gov agency would get access to it. And then? It’s historic data. They know where I live, where I work. And then they know that I go out hiking each week. So what? And that’s only if they get access to it. If the locate my phone they have a live position of me. Photos are nothing bad. Hackers? My address is more valuable. Foreign people? Have no access

barbara,

It is not, there are apps that do all that for you. E.g. f-droid.org/…/com.jarsilio.android.scrambledeggsi… couldn’t be easier

barbara,

See my other comment lemmy.ml/comment/10326478

Currentl, the best image maps have immich and nextcloud I guess

barbara,

Backup first please.

barbara,

You can’t login to your google account that everyone already has to sync between all your devices

😂😂😂

Some stuff is probably true though, I didn’t listen to most of it. Funds are mismanaged some times (CEO).

Use librewolf and fennec/ mull if you want to support another browser.

barbara,

Chatgpt does not know truth. It does not know if the info it provides is true. It does not know if the code actually works. It just concatenates strings based on probability. You may be lucky or you aren’t. The easier the task, the more likely it’ll succeed. But a low difficulty is no guarantee for success.

It is great for layouts, structure and for the basic concept. “For loop in fish”. But it may struggle to convert a video from x264 to av1 with ffmpeg. It depends on info that’s provided online. If it uses misinformation, then that’s in there as well.

The command you got is just wrong. What about avif, jxl or most other image formats? Use it, but think.

barbara,

Nice

barbara,

Meshvpns like you described work good but having a real WAN connection works best in my experience.

barbara,

thanks. You can also install it via the repository, i.e. sudo dnf install nvtop or with rpm-ostree in my case

removing the desktop entry doesn’t remove the app and hence my problem, does it?

barbara,

That command does not work with rpm-ostree. Thanks for the tip!

barbara,

nice, thx

barbara,

that’s it! Thank you!

barbara,

thx! It’s build into base ublue images. That’s not documented anywhere which is why I didn’t know it.

What distro should I use on my potato?

I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I’m a writer and it’s a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it’s got Windows and it’s unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it’s...

barbara, (edited )

I don’t play games but isn’t bazzite.gg the latest and best shit for gaming? If so, it would be good to try a live image of another atomic fedora image fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops . I’d recommend a tiling window manager because it uses less RAM. You can also easily start with KDE and rebase to a tiling window manager if it doesn’t work out as planned.

barbara, (edited )

Not really. Thieves know how powerful aluminium is against waves

barbara,

Wow, those buttons in the upper left look bad 😂 Luckily you can hide them gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout :

Sorry for hijacking

barbara,

Why is it worse? On desktop there are shortcuts and on touch there are gestures. Those buttons are a relict from the last millenium

barbara,

It doesn’t matter if they are left or right but it should fit into the window. Literally fit into it, it doesn’t. And the icons are off. Either use circles for all, or don’t. And by now there is a consistency gap. In settings, the main window is the sidebar whereas in nautilus it’s just a sidebar and not the main window.

Run Flatpak apps by search filter or through fuzzy finder menu (gist.github.com)

I wrote a simple script in order to help someone in a recent reply from me, to make running Flatpak applications from terminal easier. After that I worked a little bit on it further and now ended up with 2 completely different approaches....

barbara,

those commands are gold! Thank you for sharing! Saved them. They work flawlessly so far.

If flatpak search would work with fzf, it would be easier to use and faster than GNOME software

edit:

I added echo “${app}” to flatapp in order to print the app in terminal to have a visual response which app will run. (some apps take some seconds to open on my slow machine)

barbara,

That is awesome as well. Incredible what you can do with just a few lines of code.

barbara,

Isn’t selinux enabled by default? Hence, most won’t be affected.

On systems with SELinux enabled and in enforcing mode, access to those files is limited to unconfined (usually interactive) users, unconfined systemd services and privileged containers. Confined daemons, users and containers are not able to access them.

barbara,

I’d use fedora atomic, specifically ublue, because you can fully control what the os is.

  1. It installs updates while it runs and at the next boot it boots into the updated image. If an update fails, it boots into the old image.
  2. Most people don’t know WM. Use a DE. It doesn’t matter which one you use KDE or GNOME. Both are stable and solid. It’s up to you. Maybe choose it based on the apps you use.
  3. Other questions are redundant.
  4. universal-blue.org github.com/ublue-os if you’re interested, use blue-build.org and your own OS is ready to go within minutes.
barbara,

What are your specific concerns such that I can learn and adjust the recommendation?

barbara,

Still very vague. What needs to be proven such that you would use it?

barbara,

No idea where you get the idea from that it has to be proven and that it’s somewhat unreliable and in beta. I get the impression you talk about something different

barbara,

I think I rebased to 40 a couple of weeks ago with no problems. Are you on an atomic version? If yes, you can always roll back if it doesn’t work as planned.

barbara,

I also like that it installs the apps right after first boot in microos. That’s awesome. Unfortunately I like the image based system of fedora a tiny bit more.

barbara,

Works great. Thank you.

barbara,

That’s good to know, thank you.

barbara,

Why don’t you use ems or another service that offers bridges?

barbara,

ems.element.io/element-one

No slack bridge afaik

barbara,

You’re right :)

In this sub, most shouldn’t even matter 😅

barbara, (edited )

Ask the devs. I haven’t bothered asking so far. There’s fp github.com/DLopezJr/fp but I don’t like workaround if it’s easily fixed upstream and it’s not like they wouldn’t know that it’s bullshit. Maybe they can’t decide upon a solution. Or are waiting for another important and relevant update.

Edit: github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/994

barbara,

That’s super. Thanks for sharing.

barbara,

But it doesn’t count as linux. Usually you mean GNU/Linux if you talk about linux. Chromeos may be considered linux for the sake but android?

barbara,

It’s not semantics. People refer to GNU/Linux as Linux. Anything that isn’t GNU isn’t meant by the people. It’s not my fault this is fucked up. We both know that it is linux and that it isn’t what people understand if someone talks about linux.
