mnmalst··on How I ditched smartphones
Just as a reminder. If you save the 2FA token in the same password database as the actual password of the website you effectively neutralized 2FA or at the very least weakened it.
mnmalst··on 4Chan Lawyer publishes Ofcom correspondence
Or the website owner doesn't want to take the risk and ads a banner even if the site strictly doesn't need one.
mnmalst··on Free the Internet: The Tor Project's annual fundraiser
What's the point of having free access to the internet if there is no free internet? Seeing in what direction the world goes, access to a space where content can be distributed freely becomes more important than it ever was.
mnmalst··on The RSS feed reader landscape
Some readers can download the full article. I tried Miniflux a while back I think that one supports it.
mnmalst··on Bluefin LTS Is Released
Kinoite is not from the same project tho, it's the fedora KDE spin.
mnmalst··on Meta Ray-Ban Display
This sounds like a product idea to me. Make a website that shows the status of your friends that are willing to switch to signal. You send an invite to all your friends first so the list keeps up to date as soon as one of your friend made a decision. If everybody agreed you can switch as a whole. Even better if signal would implement it themself!

Had to change the original title a bit since it was too long: Never steal a hacker’s girlfriend’s phone: How an expert exposed a global network of thieves
mnmalst··on Immich – High performance self-hosted photo and video management
Does iCloud by any chance strip the exif data from the photos, so the real date is simply not available anymore?
mnmalst··on OSMAnd vs. Organic Maps
You can disable the notification. Took me a while to find this as well.

mnmalst··on What's New with Firefox 142
You mean more verbose than the landing page or the release notes which are also linked in the landing page: https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/142.0.1/releasenotes/ ? This is a point release, even more changes are linked at the bottom of the release notes page.

mnmalst··on Thunderbird Pro August 2025 Update
Where did I imply it's a problem? I merely corrected the answer above me which claimed they are "NOT Mozilla anymore".
mnmalst··on Thunderbird Pro August 2025 Update
I agree fully but Thunderbird is operated by MZLA Technologies Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, so while Thunderbird is part of the broader Mozilla family, it operates independently and is managed as its own entity.

They left Mozilla at some point but later joined again.

mnmalst··on Thunderbird Pro August 2025 Update
Yes and that's exactly why they are additional services.
mnmalst··on Show HN: Clyp – Clipboard Manager for Linux
I use a popup like that myself a lot. Clipman on xfce supports that but no pinning.
mnmalst··on Thunderbird Pro August 2025 Update
I haven't seen any information on that.
mnmalst··on Thunderbird Pro August 2025 Update
Site works for me but a backup link can't hurt.
mnmalst··on Thunderbird Pro August 2025 Update
> These services come with real costs, especially storage and bandwidth. Charging for them helps ensure that users who benefit from these tools help cover their cost, instead of donors footing the bill.

This is the best way to monetize the extra sevices imo.

mnmalst··on Pixel 10 Phones
Hi, my name is PickyAndPrincipled. Ha, that describes me perfectly and is the reason why I still use a Pixel 4a. It works still great and has a nice form factor.
mnmalst··on Pixel 10 Phones
Still using mine on the stock rom. Mine was luckily not effected by the battery problems. Such a good phone.
mnmalst··on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?
Because that solution simply does not work for all. People tried and the crawlers started using proxies with residential IPs.
mnmalst··on GDPR meant nothing: chat control ends privacy for the EU [video]
Every single fucking day the whole world gets worse and worse. I am so sick and tired of this life.
mnmalst··on Building a watch from scratch in a Brooklyn basement
I am watching the linked documentary about that dude. Super interesting!

I find the fact that he also build the CNC machine to manufacture the watches in the first even more impressive.

Direct link to documentary: https://youtu.be/FdT94gXsyoc (12:45 mins)

> "After the first field watch that I built, I was going to make a second one and sort of needed a name for that. And, a little tongue and cheek, I named it the 255, which was the amount that my credit score had dropped since I invested everything."

mnmalst··on Please Don't Promote Wayland
No it's definitely wayland. Anydesk shows a big notification that wayland is not supported and rustdesk shows a similar message informing you that wayland support is an alpha feature.
mnmalst··on Please Don't Promote Wayland
Thanks for the tip but only firefox is available on those systems. (And mine)
mnmalst··on Please Don't Promote Wayland
I help (or administrate) a couple of elderly relatives with their Linux desktops. The systems use Fedora Kinoite (an older version which still runs X), a immutable distribution which updates itself without any necessary user action (flatpack and rpm-ostree). This setup is simply perfect.

From time to time I log into those machines to check if everything is ok (updates ran through, backups were made and so on) or at times where the relative needs help with something. I use anydesk or rustdesk, both work pretty great with X but don't with wayland. rustdesk has an experimental wayland mode but it's unusable choppy and slow. Anydesk doesn't work with wayland at all.

As mentioned above I run an older version of Fedora Kinoite because newer versions run with wayland only.

What are my options in this case? I don't care if the system runs X or wayland, it just have to support this use case.

mnmalst··on Ex-Google Exec Says "The Idea That AI Will Create New Jobs Is 100% Crap"
This is exactly how I feel as well and doing so for a while now. I lost all motivation to work, or life in general. I just don't see a good outcome, why care at all.
mnmalst··on Abogen – Generate audiobooks from EPUBs, PDFs and text
I was surprised by this as well at first but thinking about it, it would make sense when they use an audio codec which is not supported on the target system. In that case the video can still play but the audio can't. I wasn't aware tho that audio can be disabled separately.
mnmalst··on US to rewrite its past national climate reports
Sorry for not being more eloquent about it but:

You can't make this shit up.
