Then publish on both!

Sponsors will pay if you are big enough, no matter the platform. If PeerTube went big, you’d probably start seeing sponsors.

There’s lots of “partially works” that are basically at 99 % perfection, where a small use case is not tested, or buggy, or something.

unknowing8343,

It definitely is useful, I use it for train tickets, or user QR codes for things such as IKEA, supermarkets, gas stations… It’s quite literally a virtual wallet where you have all your “cards”, but they are QRs.

This way, for example, you don’t have to install every single app to get the QR code that identifies you in every market. You just paste them into this wallet and you are good to go!

NFC payments require a transaction platform and these things are only possible with banks or huge, “trusted” companies like Google/Apple.

Although things might start changing in Europe (for now) with GNU Taler.

Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it?

With the recent WWDC apple made some bold claims about privacy when it comes to so called Apple Intelligence. This makes me wonder if they did something to what Microsoft did with Recall feature, would people be less concerned and to an extend praise their effort?...

unknowing8343,

I am curious why you’d think that is a good idea. I find it absolutely useless, as anything that I’d like stored… We can already easily store. But recording EVERYTHING that happens in my computer??? What kind of data hoarding obsession is this?

That is a small vulnerability away of being the biggest mistake of your life, IMO.

Hi! I know many Apple users, and 100% of them bought it because “bro, it’s Apple”. It’s basically the “im not poor” message that the Apple logo gives. They don’t care about anything else aside that it’s Apple and it plays CandyCrush.

unknowing8343,

Yes! “Recents” works fine and doesn’t even need to record everything you’ve done and consume AI resources!

For asking about papers and so… You can do that with an AI crawler on your files!! No need to store a screenshot of everything you’ve ever done!

The deliverable thing, again, it can be done by directly looking up your files.

But no, somehow they went full spy instead. Companies will love to put this feature in their employee’s computers.

Wanna fire someone? Let’s see if they used their computer once for an unrelated-to-work task…

Now if someone gains access to your computer they’ll get everything that you didn’t think you even had! So great!!

unknowing8343,

Believe me, poor kids will save for an iPhone too. But yes, the Mac audience is a bit more professional, although I still know of a couple of dumbasses using Mac because of the aesthetics at Starbucks.

unknowing8343,

Once you find out we’ve had fuzzy finders for 40 years your mind is going to be blown.

I am not saying AI is not useful. It will be an amazing use case to sprinkle some AI into fuzzyfinders, but don’t let it have everything that has ever been played on screen… Passwords, private windows, one-time messages… You must be very young if you don’t see the problems with that.

There is a reason why we have password protected folders and files, or how we keep some stuff locked online, or how we use private browser windows. And you want to feed all that to an AI.

unknowing8343,

Don’t worry, they’ll kill the project after naming it Chrome Recall, Google Recall, Google Watcher, GWatch (with chat), Chat&Watch, Google Watch (new) in the span of a year.

unknowing8343,

I am expecting that is exactly the point. I don’t think they’ll win, tho. We’ll find a way around it.

unknowing8343,

Not for over-the-internet use

unknowing8343,

Oh, wow, that dude in the thread is proud in his ignorance.

unknowing8343,

I could understand that some distros’ kernel had binary blobs, but the main kernel?? I was not expecting that if it’s true.

How is everyone handling the 2FA requirement for GitHub? (docs.github.com)

Just wondering what people are using to meet the 2FA requirement GitHub has been rolling out. I don’t love the idea of having an authenticator app installed on my phone just to log into GitHub. And really don’t want to give them my phone number just to log in....

unknowing8343,

This is premium functionality, for those who don’t know.

unknowing8343,

In terms of the software compatibility, even if you dual boot Windows, always ask for Linux-compatible software.

unknowing8343,

Just like I am not a fan of Firefox derivatives, I am not a fan of modified ISOs for Windows.

This is because all the effort put on trust on a big company/community is now gone; now you must trust some unknown random dev.

Install official Windows and apply trusted tools to clean it up. Or better yet, install Linux. That’s my general advice.

unknowing8343,

Let’s face it, if you install Linux (or even Windows!) for your mom, you put VLC in there.

Yes, some other tools are better at some things, but VLC is the perfect choice for the “standard” user.

Here's a way to support linux mobile development even if you're forced to use android or ios

LPT: If you’re not a fan of where Android or iOS is going but have to use one, buy a used phone to avoid giving money directly to ill-intentioned manufacturers. Then use some of the savings to support Linux Mobile Distro development!...

unknowing8343,

Pocophone F1 was sold like crazy, at least in my country, and I just got my brother’s and I’ll be flashing it this weekend.

unknowing8343,

I don’t think symbolic will solve your problem at all

unknowing8343,

I wish Organic Maps had up-to-date maps. If there is any possibility for that please let me know!

unknowing8343,

Oh, I very much know that! But only on OsmAnd I can see those changes being applied a few hours later instead of a month later.

unknowing8343,

Oh, I very much know that! But only on OsmAnd I can see those changes being applied a few hours later instead of a month later.

unknowing8343,

OsmAnd allows me to see changes in hours, for OrganicMaps I have to wait a full month.

unknowing8343,

Well, we need a better system then

unknowing8343,

I am also thinking of starting an open source project, and honestly, will do it on Github, because so far, GitHub does not require microphone or location access, yadayada… And the AI thing would happen anyway. Do you think Google has not used GitHub repos for training Gemini?

I am very interested in syncing the repo with a federated git server, but from what I am reading Codeberg/Forgejo still don’t have federation working?

unknowing8343,

Download latest version here!

unknowing8343,

First of all: it’s a joke.

Second of all: no, Arch is not as easy to install, specially for someone who is looking at Manjaro as a possibility.

And believe me, I was once a Manjaro user.

And for 99% of Manjaro users, what they really wanted was Arch with an installer. Which is what Endeavour OS is. (Although I’ll never understand why Endeavour people didn’t just develop the tools FOR Arch instead of wrapping it all up as their own).

unknowing8343,

Sorry I don’t understand your first question.

What I mean is that anyone (in fact there were projects that did this) could make an image with an installer GUI for Arch Linux that installed Arch Linux and some opinionated software like Endeavour does. But at the end you just got an easy Arch installation. What bothers me is that instead of pushing for Arch Linux’s brand, Endeavour created their own, virtually wrapping Arch Linux as theirs, and I don’t believe it is enough work to consider it a different distro, because it is LITERALLY ARCH with a couple of extra packages (that could be on the main repos or the AUR).

And I am saying all this as an Endeavour user myself!

unknowing8343,

The dracut-systemdboot thing makes no sense. If you are installing Arch Linux, you have all options available? There is no “default” Arch, 😅

unknowing8343,

*GUI installer

unknowing8343,

I would say that does apply in the case of Endeavour OS but shouldn’t for a custom install with 100 % Arch+AUR packages.

unknowing8343,

AI in web search is not going anywhere. Deal with it.

This force is unstoppable, whether you like it or not. So you better spend your time adapting.

unknowing8343,

I have 0 knowledge of these things, but I do know that people always comment that sudo is bloated, that nobody is truly using everything that sudo can do, only one basic command.

unknowing8343,

Somehow all these OSS projects that start with only a Mac client seem so suspicious to me…

I wonder if they will enforce a login to use the software?

unknowing8343,

I was kinda referencing warp, a supposedly new terminal that was also written in Rust, had AI stuff, started on Mac, and finally got a Linux version, which lasted 30 seconds on my computer once I saw there is no option to use it unless you make an account. Yes. For a LOCAL terminal. Nuts.

unknowing8343,

Plasma is rock solid. Yes, you can break it. And that is called freedom.

If you don’t install 30 third party widgets and themes, you’ll be FINE, while still being able to make it yours.

That is why I always choose KDE Plasma (we’ll see when Cosmic comes).

unknowing8343,

Distracting how?

unknowing8343,

I don’t think you understood my comment. Sorry.

unknowing8343,

Then just install it and use it. No need for tweaks.

SSH login without user name? (docs.gitlab.com)

I was reading GitLab’s documentation (see link) on how to write to a repository from within the CI pipeline and noticed something: The described Docker executor is able to authenticate e.g. against the Git repository with only a private SSH key, being told absolutely nothing about the user’s name it is associated with....

unknowing8343,

Public SSH keys don’t contain any user information at all. They could have some metadata for users to easily read, but that can be deleted without repercussions.

I’m no expert, and this is probably how it does NOT work, but if you have a private key, it can generate the public key, so that could be a way to tell the server “this is me”, now try me.

Hey I wasn’t so far off!

unknowing8343,

I can’t seem to be able to search for volumes, just create them?

unknowing8343,

If you did this for all audiovisual content and not just anime I’d be all in.

unknowing8343, (edited )

I was literally fighting with this these last 4 hours, and here’s my conclusion:

What a goddamn mess Samba is. How in the world is it so hard to make this thing work?

I eventually realised that for my usecase minidlna would work, at least for a while, and it was amazing how simple it was.

This is all I can say about the subject. I am surprised there are no simple ways to setup Samba folders such as a GUI that asks you “what ya wanna share? Oh, okay, you want people to write things on it? Cool! It’s working now. Don’t forget to check these ports on your firewall, bye!”

unknowing8343,

There are Telegram ads?

unknowing8343,

But then why don’t you simply develop a toolkit that installs all those things and sets things up properly on a standard fedora install?

This seems something with too big of an attack surface.
