Techognito

This is more of a hammer as a screwdriver problem, where everyone decided to use chat software as a forum.

I wish there were more Open Source games.

There is an app called Obtainium. This allows downloading signed apps directly from source

That is old(ish) news. And f-droid have since then implemented allowing reproducible builds

which allows for developer signed keys to be used for the APK

https://distrochooser.de/ is a great tool that help to understand what the different distros can do.

Also, you should probably know that selecting a distro is more about selecting the underlying OS and less about the UI (DE). Most distros support the top 5 Desktop Environments (DE for short). And selecting a DE can be just as important.

Have you heard of account containers in firefox?

That would also help fund further development of wine and proton.

TIL I have more reasons to visit Munich than to visit NYC

I felt like it happened like every 2–3 months. I just gave up and started using the plugin.

Also, with plugin, I don’t need an account anymore. As I am using Lemmy, except when someone sends me reddit links.

Except when reddit does an update and reset the setting.

LibRedirect is a great way to deal with this tho

I believe you want to look into libki. Works on Windows and Linux.

Linux Mint with this serves our local library.

I recommend LibRedirect instead. It can redirect to both invidious and piped, as well as working for other services. e.g., Twitter → Nitter, Reddit → teddit, and many more

Passphrase generator, simplelogin/addy.io integration and sync.

This makes my life so much easier.

“Erosion of consumer rights” goes for pretty much all tech large companies.

“you will own nothing and be happy” seems to be the way the new standard way of living.

I will speculate to say that maybe someone looked at the java/android way and thought let’s just copy that.

It’s the most plausible answer I can think of, without doing any research whatsoever

My intentions were never to be condescending, and I feel bad for sounding that way. I edited my comment in hopes to clear things up.

If they did, they should call it K-Pop!

I thought the com.flatpak.Appname came from Android, so I guess google is to blame?

/var is really annoying, especially when partitioning, previously I could just have a /var partition, but now I need to do /var/log specifically

Compared to say arch, gentoo, lfs. ubuntu is easier to install, but I believe the point you wanted to make is that there are distros that are as easy if not easier to install than ubuntu

edit: I see now that this might have sounded more condescending than I had intended, and for that I’m sorry.

The point I wanted to make was that there are both better and worse installers out there. Which is something I enjoy about linux and the different distros. You have the option to install something easy and just use your computer as you see fit, or you can tinker and learn different ways your computer can be set up.

open in microsoft edge could technically be used to open in any chromium browser…

I use an extension in edge for opening things in Firefox, by the same guy. It can technically run any command on your system, but requires a daemon on your computer to do so
