bionade24on Our experience with the Fediverse, and why we left

And I saw pornography on Twitter, which obviously IS THE ting Mastodon copies, too. It totally depends on the instance's mods what they allow and yes, mastodon.social allows porn. Mastodon is not a social platform for catholics. If you see porn without NSFW Content Warning, you can report it.

Nice detection!

bionade24on I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit

You can run steam games on Wayland. Spent over 30 hours playing Hollow Knight on SwayWM, even with fractional scaling.

bionade24on I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit

I only developed on smaller FOSS projects but can tell you this blogpost ist just an abyssnormally small piece of the hate you'll get for changing things.

bionade24on I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit

swaywm (Wayland) runs Krita and Steam just fine. Don't use Godot, so can't tell anything about it.

bionade24on I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit

Using EGLFS instead of libDRM are two diffrent ways wayland compositors work, this argument doesn't work against sway because it only supports libDRM.

bionade24on Wayland is not ready as a 1:1 compatible Xorg replacement just yet

The author seems to have way to little knowledge about wayland. It's okay to say I use Xorg bc it's not ready for my usecase yet but spreading this whole GNOME FUD makes this more spam than anything else. I can't take this serious at all.

bionade24on Heap-based buffer overflow in Sudo

I really don't understand why people donvoted this despite it's obvious. I don't align with you on anything else bc I don't hate C++ and Rust but I have to admit Rust and C++ suffer from the same problems.

bionade24on Our experience with the Fediverse, and why we left

No, the fediverse has at least one per instance, often more. I would even go as far saying the fedi has more mods per users. They're still only mods, for the instance they're on, though.

bionade24on Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys

Now imagine they're powered by a docking station, you go into suspend, put the laptop out of the docking station, wake it up and - tadaa! This bug dissappeared but still occurs slightly diffrent for other people. Three monitors itself aren't more edgecase than 2. How long are you using this setup?

Besides screenlockers, having 2 screens with diffrent resolutions is way worse in KDE than in GNOME. (On X11)

bionade24on Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys

If you've ever looked in the bugtracker of a big X11 screenlocker, you would love to have this small amount of bugs. In fact, some of the bugs you posted are alread solved and I can't find one bug related to displaying. Giving the display to the user could also lie in other code parts. We'll see how this ends, but it's already a huge gain that not every Everyday Linux user has experienced such things by themselves.

You can use MS teams in Chromium or Firefox. The secret is that Browsers disable 3rd Party cookies per default for a year now or so and Microsoft has not reacted to it yet.

bionade24on Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys

I fear it's as secure as vsftpd: Secure until a large amount of users use it and find bugs.

bionade24on Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys

No, it's not failsafe. I know a person where only one screen of two got locked, the second one remained operational.

bionade24on Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys

But then you are breaking enterprise stuff !!!1!11!

bionade24on Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys

I'll edit it to (for me). With working on an X11 desktop everyday, it felt like everyone has at least once experienced such an issue.

To be fair to swaylock, they actually fixed some of those issues, in contrast to kscreenlocker which are just ignoring most edge-case bugs, because it's nearly impossible to fix them.

bionade24on Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys

Because X11 is such a joke. The problem is solved by wlroots and layer-shell, other Wayland compositors probably have similar things. Swaylock works 100%ly reliable until now (For me). I had problems with every other X11 screenlocker I used in the past. My unusual setup with a docking station and two monitors on it often caused crazy bugs.

Edit: For me stuff

bionade24on GNOME has no thumbnails in the file picker and my toilets are blocked

That's why Qt can do shit and people like me will still prefer it over GTK. There were many fixes for this problem, none got merged.

bionade24on Qt LTS going to closed source

I'm too young to have ever used the signal/slot keywords, only the Macro syntax and the new instance/functioin_reference syntax, but I've seen this in a lot of legacy code. I'm totally ok with this.

bionade24on Ask HN: Show me your half baked project

https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd

A CI/CD with webinterface for Archlinux packages which optional AUR push support if builds succeed. It's based on Django and works with Docker/Podman. I originally made it for my own AUR packages (> 300), I needed accessible build logs if I want to collab, which the common builders didn't provide. I made the project public and it's crazy for me as an open source beginner to see how many people like this. The basic features are complete, but things like multiarch are getting added soon.

bionade24on Qt LTS going to closed source

The reason why no one uses the already existing Qt fork is because of the removal of signal/slots. Qt users don't want to use callbacks.

bionade24on Atlassian Cloud ToS section 3.3(I) prohibits discussing performance issues

Just running atlassian.com on Google Pagespeed shows why they're doing that: 12 from 100. That is really examplaric for other Atlassian products.

And it's really not hard to go over 95 on GPagespeed, just don't use JS fucking everywhere.

bionade24on Raspberry Pi PCIe Devices

That's why I use RockPro64 instead, they have PCIe for a long time.

bionade24on The beautiful Silent ThunderBolt-3 PC

If you want to answer they have to because they sell Linux preinstalled: Their Ubuntu is garbage. If you setup Archlinux on your own, some features which haven't worked before will work, for example backlight oder hw acceleration.

Still better than Lenovo telling it's a feature to not setup proprietairy Linux drivers on devices who need them.

bionade24on The beautiful Silent ThunderBolt-3 PC

I have the WD19 and I have to say despite it's being a fucking computer on its own it works astonishingly well under Linux, especially compared to the docking stations I had before. Feels like they really cared about their Linux support. Tested with both my XPS 9310 and my Precision 7530.

bionade24on The beautiful Silent ThunderBolt-3 PC

I do have it, too and I have to say despite it's being a fucking computer on its own it works astonishingly well under Linux, especially compared to the docking stations I had before. Feels like they really cared about their Linux support. Tested with both my XPS 9310 and my Precision 7530.

bionade24on Apple Preps Next Mac Chips with Aim to Outclass Highest-End PCs

You're absolutely right. People already propagating Intel's death are too fast. They may do not the innovation we like, but it maybe will help them push their smaller nodes, too. And for many special cases and for a suckless Linux experience on new devices, Intel is still the best choice.
