He has a bunch of projects. Most notable being: - Bottles (Wine/Proton runner) - cpak - Atoms (container manager) - VanillaOS (atomic OS with bespoke tooling) - Sinty OS (another atomic OS with bespoke tooling) - Sinty…
They mentioned you can use the Alpha from their app installer.
That's exactly what's happening to the Linux git repository. The server constantly has mutltiple CPU cores dedicated to rendering git of various old, dead branches in html for scrapers.
Can you please elaborate on what you mean? Ubuntu does not aim to be a permissively-licensed system. It can include copyleft (e.g. GPL) and permissive (e.g. MIT) without issue. Permissively-licensed systems like FreeBSD…
Apple made some changes specifically for Asahi Linux to make it more robust. I believe it was Hector Martin who discussed it on Mastodon a while ago.
I believe the main things are that block lists have to be updated through the Chrome Web Store and there is an upper limit for things that can be blocked.
Any user process can append anything they want to your shell rc (.bashrc, .zshrc). In this case, they added a bash function for a fake sudo prompt. It then uses the password the user entered to run a malicious payload…
Just billionaires people giving money to a friend's project.
While I do love Fedora, I Wouldn't call it a "Snow Leopard". Around August 5th, there's been numerous regressions when it comes to AMD graphics. First a kernel regression that resulting in artifacts on the desktop. Then…
I find macOS to be sluggish when it comes to opening apps. But it's not a deterioration, it's just always been like that. That's my experience on M4 Mac Mini and M3 MacBook Air.
That does not work for all use cases. For me, I want to use Google Photos exclusively to see my past backups but never back anything up again.
I occasionally use Google Search when DuckDuckGo fails to give me relevant. Almost always, Google has better results. Though I can find its AI answers annoying aggressive. I'll look up like two search terms and the AI…
systemd added a field where users can add their date of birth. It's completely optional. It's not implementing age implementation, but can be used as a place to store a DOB in an age verification system.
For comparison, I installed Gnome Weather and KDE Weather on my Linux system. Gnome Weather uses 150MB and KDE Weather uses 270MB (edit: more like 220MB, seems like 50MB was used in setup but never freed until I…
I've used uBlock Origin Lite and have had no issues with blocking ads. The only downside I've seen is that I can't do "Block Elements" to hide non-ad annoying parts of sites.
They certainly want their models to be good at finding and patching vulnerabilities. Being good at hacking may be necessary in that goal, or rather, making it worse at hacking may also make it worse at defensive actions…
Dedicated machines can obviously solve an issue more efficiently, but it’s still good to have a machine that can do most things adequately. As an example, you can have an automated washer, dryer, and folder, sure. But…

I don't think anything is actually "necessary" if you want to be strict on definitions. I think it's absolutely fair and unlikely to be illegal to use a cookie to remember cookie preferences. Unless the cookie value was…
Anubis's primary goal is to prevent web scrapers from DDoSing a website. It's not meant to be an unbeatable challenge or only allow humans like Google's more privacy-invasive captchas. You do the proof of work, you get…
Yes, but the primary reason for Starlink is for areas with poor traditional ISPs. If you had a choice between Fiber or Starlink, you’d choose Fiber. So as traditional ISPs improve service and coverage, Starlink becomes…
Many modern Linux distros encourage restarting too. Atomic distros make restarting to boot into a new image the default, though some have flags to do a "live" update too. You still have to reboot for things like kernel…
For me, * available on Linux and macOS * settings easy to transfer, just a file * comes with Jetbrains Mono Nerd font built-in, no need to install it separately * supports ligatures
I don't see the trend reversing, but if we're lucky, perhaps a freeze. Won't get more efficient but may not get worse.
I just tested Chromium with uBlock Origin Lite (default settings, aka "Optimal") and had no issue blocking YouTube ads.
