Input Handlers

really needs to get their input handling on macOS Sonoma fixed, for both and : the system emoji pickers don't work at all, text replacements don't work either.

Now Firefox just stopped reacting to any mouse clicks, in all tabs, while everything works normally in the system. Frustrating. I really don't want to switch to Vivaldi or Safari, and Apple Mail...

QuazarOmega,

Because they accidentally (?) mentioned @firefox which exists only as a Lemmy community, and, being from Mastodon, the post title comes out as a snippet of the post body, with the links getting destructured into raw markdown text

QuazarOmega,

I’d say a normal phone is a lot worse than smartphones in general, unless you don’t care about all your communications being readable by the carrier. With a smartphone you can make actually encrypted calls and texts over trustworthy applications/protocols (Signal, Matrix, Simplex, etc.), on a phone you’re stuck with the carrier service; another thing that comes to mind is the storage, as far as I know there are no normal phones with an encrypted filesystem while it is default for a long while on Android.

On the other hand, if your new smartphone model isn’t loaded with a privacy respecting ROM you’ll also have at least some data sent to other third parties like Google and whatnot, but if you can change the ROM, then the potential for better privacy far outweighs the benefits of normal phones doing fewer things with your data by default. If you’re going to use your new smartphone like an old phone, to make carrier calls and SMS, then there will be near to no improvements (except storage security maybe) and as you say, more data snooping

QuazarOmega,

Agreed 100%, I wish any smartphone could support Graphene

QuazarOmega,

When the the

QuazarOmega,

works at Google

makes anti-tracking software

Hmm, create the problem and sell the solution, well played…

Jk, doing something like this despite working at Google is freaking admirable, the guy even put a screenshot of “untracking” a YouTube URL in the project’s README, lol.

Btw, I thought I’d seen this name before and he’s the same guy behind the awesome Material Files!

Can I add a custom search engine *with* query autocomplete / search suggestions?

By default I use Google and it shows search suggestions, but when I add a custom search engine like https://www.google.com/search?q=, or a completely different one, I don’t get any. I don’t really care where the suggestions are coming from, they could be the same as the one for the default engine.

QuazarOmega,

That’s a good question, after reading the documentation it seems the website that hosts the search has to support the OpenSearch suggestions, then, if it does, you’ll probably have to add it when inside the website with the plus icon that appears after clicking on the browser’s address bar, last time I checked I think there were a few differences between that and adding it manually by URL template.
I haven’t tested this however, so I can’t tell you which sites work with it

QuazarOmega,

The second last panel is the real “Fine, I’ll do it myself”

QuazarOmega,

But yeah, I guess with docker it’s complete anarchy ( the bad kind of)

Not really, usually stuff will be all self contained (no pun intended), container volumes inside docker’s own directory and mounts of folders that will most often all reside under the same repository, then you don’t have to worry about breaking stuff by touching the root, even better if you do that with Podman.

Flatpak is similar in the way that it also has its own standards and apps are pretty much obligated to follow them. Now the fact that data lives under .var/app/ completely disregarding the XDG spec, while both things are part of Freedesktop… Well that’s just ironic lol

QuazarOmega,

But- but mah FreeBSD 👿

QuazarOmega,

Solo development is great, isn’t it?

QuazarOmega,

Configuring, the only fate of a coonfigurer

QuazarOmega,

There’s a fork that supports it, though it looks like it has become inactive, if you care about that github.com/erkserkserks/openboard

QuazarOmega,

Awesome, didn’t know there was another fork!

QuazarOmega,

Incredibly based.
Come to think of it, it’s sad how we’ve got so accustomed to be suggested Google Authenticator and the other big corp data funnel 2FA apps by the services that support it

QuazarOmega,

Huh, how come I’ve never heard about this, but it looks so professional (?), at least for the website presentation.
Is it better than the common Kdenlive and Blender in your experience?

QuazarOmega,

Me waiting for the VSE update: 💀

It’s underrated, but it has so much untouched potential to make it really shine and it is unfortunately still a bit unintuitive to use.

I wonder if it will ever get some love again by the devs, because it’s clear that the focus is 99% on the 3D aspect of things right now and it will most likely be so for a long time to come, for good reasons of course, the advancements there have been astounding and really needed because they’re THE libre 3D animation software, while there are already other established libre video editors out there, so there is less necessity. But I still believe that if Blender was to ever give a refresh to the VSE, it would immediately outclass all the other options

QuazarOmega,

That’s fair, it looks like it has a long history behind it in fact, maybe I’ll try it as well. Thanks for the interesting suggestion!

QuazarOmega,

I love this explanation, I thought I’d never understand

QuazarOmega,

Doesn’t work with podman (on my machine at least), any suggestions?

I’ll try that, I also read around that I could increase my UID namespace range (not that I understand what it means 🫣), so I’ll try that too

Edit: Now I half understand after reading these:

QuazarOmega,

Tried with another user and it works, looks really cool btw!

Any way to quit gracefully though?
I tried both Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z but it just ignores the signals, I could only resort to killing it

QuazarOmega, (edited )

I see, weirdly it works every time on my own user, but it is on my second one that it doesn’t, the two applications are different though, did I somehow pull two different images?

With built-in functions, and the least amount of code and calls

I’m a bit curious, can you share the repository?

QuazarOmega,

For project management there’s quite a few, Taiga.io and Plane.so look the most promising to me.
Idk about CRM though, even after reading what is, I still don’t exactly get it

QuazarOmega,

Even between providers? I think it won’t ever be easy as long as the protocol isn’t encrypted by default (which it will never be honestly)

QuazarOmega,

Windows Terminal has profiles that you can configure a lot so you can have SSH profiles too, don’t know if that fits your use case exactly though

QuazarOmega,

You can have push notifications, right now there’s a unified push fork on the same Molly F-droid repository

QuazarOmega,

Interesting, didn’t know Element started working on a new app made from scratch.
It’s cool Schildichat is already on it, but I lowkey hope this new fork won’t be as needed, you’d think Element would make this client actually good when they get the chance to start from zero

QuazarOmega,

Ah, so they’re still going through the WhatsApp/Discord identity crisis? Man, I hope they decide for the latter once and for all :/
Anyway yeah, I dig Schildi’s work! I wish good luck to both teams

QuazarOmega,

Firefoxes

Is the Linux Foundation Certified System Admin (LFCS) worth it?

I’ve been a software engineer for 10 years now but want to work with Linux more in a professional setting (not to mention the number of layoffs in the the dev industry has me thinking a backup plan might be a good idea). I have been using Linux exclusively on my personal machine for about 15 years now so I’m not too worried...

QuazarOmega,

Really great answer, I feel too like the focus is more on “cloud” tooling now.

proprietary techs like Docker

I must have missed some news, when did it go proprietary?

QuazarOmega,

Ah I see what you mean, that stuff is pretty annoying.
Well at least the core tech remains open, though I agree, I would like to see more agnosticism from the industry in regard to the tool implementing the containers, since they’re pretty much all interoperable to a certain extent, as I understand

QuazarOmega,

Dockerhub isn’t a hard requirement though, there are other container registries out there

QuazarOmega,

Agree 1000% on the timer thing, it’s so incredibly annoying exactly because it seems such an obvious feature to have

QuazarOmega,

This is some depressing news

QuazarOmega,

I believe Inkscape is still working towards GTK4, but yes they are much farther ahead, to be expected when there are more developers active, after all.

GTK has long outgrown GIMP, it’s much more general purpose now, though the acronym remains. Who knows, maybe it’ll be renamed to GTK Toolkit in full MIT hacker style one day

QuazarOmega,

Fine, here you go, now you are filled with determination

QuazarOmega,

Just tangentially related, but what do you people like of the Developer edition over the other flavors?
I’ve read up in the past of its extra features and didn’t see anything worthwhile, the official landing page would suggest that it’s pretty much aligned with stable feature-wise

QuazarOmega,

Oh so there is more, thanks for explaining!
The landing page mostly talks about webpage inspecting features that are also in the normal Firefox nowadays, so I was a bit confused.

QuazarOmega,

install unsigned/development versions of their extensions into there

That’s really handy actually, I’ll have to keep it in mind, thanks!

QuazarOmega, (edited )

The fact is that there is no surefire way to get rid only of tracking parameters, because they can mix in with other legit ones that if removed would break the website you’re visiting.
Last I heard, Facebook had rolled out some encrypted URL parameters, so the collective mapping efforts to manually identify parameters only used for tracking on each different website could very well be nullified if many implement something evil as that

QuazarOmega,

You’re not a true free software activist if you don’t develop in USD 🦅🦅🦅

QuazarOmega,

Thank you for backing me up

'Murica HECK YEAHH!

QuazarOmega,

I hear this name coming back once in a while, what makes this distro unique?

QuazarOmega,

Great stuff! Didn’t know about lf

QuazarOmega,

The client says: sorry I actually wanted the table legs to be be longer… And curved… And- wait, no, actually I think I’ll tell you more later

QuazarOmega,

Based vim user

QuazarOmega,

Ah, the irony XD
How are video controls with it then?

QuazarOmega,

Haha, so it circled back into being normal
