The buyers are anonymous, the recipients (i.e. shops/merchants, generally) are not. The idea is that this will effectively prevent money-laundering and tax evasion as merchants wouldn't be able to hide any earnings.
One strength of nixpkgs that probably appeals to Arch users too is how much software is available and how easily you can just re-compile apps with custom patches. In fact, the latter is enabled exactly through…
Just adding to this since the point might be lost for people new to nix: You can assign a value to `services.restic.backups.my_repo.paths = [ ... ]` in multiple places throughout your system configuration. When applying…
Running Cosmic (which is a Wayland-only DE) on a DGX Spark. It just works.
Can't speak for all countries ofc, but the happy path isn't just the US. I've heard positive reports in Europe where banking apps work without Play services more often than not, and if it doesn't some banks will…

Sounds OpenShell locks filesystem access on sandbox creation - arguably the most important isolation feature, at least for my use cases. Architecturally it looks right though!
Very interesting concept to make permissions specific to individual shell commands though. Certainly good that people are experimenting with these approaches, hopefully ideas will eventually converge so we don't need to…
Even for pure research/prototyping, you quickly run into the problem that your sandbox is either prohibitively minimal or overly permissive. Depending on the exact task, you may need GPU access, Docker/Nix socket…
Do any of these sandboxing solutions have a dynamic component to them that lets you grant permissions, starting with a minimal sandbox and asynchronously adding permissions as they become necessary? Harnesses try to do…

Obviously not ideal, but update latency is much better with other third party distributions like iodéOS or CalyxOS. At least in contrast to other vendors, FP provides official support for microG, so this has been…

At least equally worth pointing out: Three different people are actively working on it, see https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/12/contributions/532/ .

Where are you getting GPS from? Grandparent commenter talked about bluetooth beacons and parent suggested reading the docs. The contact tracing APIs very deliberately avoided GPS for exactly the reason you mention.
Just curious, has suspend (to RAM) been working for you? For me the nvidia driver just keeps waking up the system instantly - but my setup is deviating from the upstream flake in a few ways, so I'm just wondering if…

Yes, this had been temporarily permitted until recently, and AFAIK they continue doing so illegally at the moment.
For context, this refers to "Chat Control 1.0", allowing facebook and other messaging providers to scan chats for harmful content (which they had been temporarily allowed to do by a recently expired law). This is still…
