brennoflavio··on Please, FOSS world, we need something like ChromeOS

This is the solution, but as it was mentioned already the challenge is to get it pre installed and tested across a wide range of devices

brennoflavio··on Integration and Android

For a better airdrop alternative I would recommend LocalSend, I use all the time to transfer between Iphone, Android and Linux.

That said I also use Kde Connect but it's kinda Buggy for me, it loses the connection often.

brennoflavio··on Flatpak – a security nightmare – 2 years later (2020)

The article complains about saying that the app is sandboxed. I don't want my ide to be sandboxed anyway, so just flagging that in the store should be enough.

Vscode on snap runs unconfined for example, that's explicit

brennoflavio··on Flatpak builds are not reproducible and why that's a practical problem (2022)

In Flatpak you define the dependencies as runtimes, and they are shared between apps. So for example when you install Kdenlive it will download the entire kde framework that is huge but when you install the next kde app it won't download it again

brennoflavio··on Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)

Does Waydroid have problem running arm apks on x86 architecture?

brennoflavio··on YouTube's ad blocker crackdown is getting harder to dodge

It does not actually clicks on the ads. It sends the request to ad server but does not execute any response from the server, so it's safe to run

brennoflavio··on So let’s talk about this Wayland thing

But this happens with Wayland nowadays (at least on Gnome). When you try to take a screenshot or share your screen, a popup appears where you can select the monitor, area, window, etc, before sending the image to the software. If you close the screen, the software fails. Try to use Flameshot or Google meet on Ubuntu to see that behavior.
