What’s your take on what valve has done for linux gaming and how much off it is open source?

Doesn’t opera gx have horrible privacy issues?

Maybe the Nobel should have went to you.

No identifiers, so your social graph stays private.

Also has an independent security audit.

To deliver messages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers.

Not for KDE which aims to be good for beginners.

It sounds like many of your problems could be fixed by installing kde plasma6 instead.

You can change the color.

Mission failed successfully!

It is serious long term for 1/5 people.

COVID being no big deal is just a lie society agreed on for convenience.

Its an alias, so no problem.

Chrome still uses WebKit.

The last time I looked at performance and energy benchmarks Firefox was winning.

I agree.

Imagine a world where Chrome doesn’t exist and instead Firefox + privacy preserving attribution is the default for all of the people who won’t listen to your reasons why they shouldn’t use chrome or say “I don’t need privacy, I have nothing to hide”.

It seems like Mozilla is trying to do the browser equivalent of shifting the overton window and I’m for that.

However I’ll be monitoring them very very closely.

I’ll have to come up with some examples and write something more detailed I think to explore this.

Until NixOS I was very in favor of language specific package managers and things like flatpak.

You see the conclusion of that article is that flatpaks are not repeoducible after presenting solutions to make it reproducible right?

If you care about your software being stable and secure, you should care about how easy the programming language used makes and encourages that.

People aren’t robots and make mistakes often.

The issue was closed, but a draft PR was linked… potato:

I did this before being in emacs made it so convenient to avoid, but got bit randomly by different versions or gnu vs BSD.

woman in emacs.

I also find info pages much nicer to use after an adjustment period given I grew up on vim and man.

So they should say that it is written with performance in mind. I don’t care how you achieved that. rust, c++, assembly, whatever.

I care because performant and secure C++ is much harder to achieve while rust “shepherds” you towards it.
