One issue I still have with github (issues) is, that they only allow a very small set of file types to be uploaded.

You can get around this by gzipping everything, because they allow .gz, however I still don't see why I'm not allowed to upload .diff or .patch files.

One of the selling points of Wayland is, that they have no such API. An Application is supposed to be unable to access windows (and their corresponding keyboard/mouse input).

One of the downsides this has is the described issue of "screensharing beeing impossible on wayland". This is solved by the XDG Desktop Portal, which provides a unified dbus interface across the different compositor implementations for requesting a pipewire file descriptor (which can be used with gstreamer to get a live video stream of the deskop, in a way far superior to x11 framegrab). However the implementation differs for each compositor, GNOME for example asks you if you what to share the whole screen or just a specific application but wlroots (swaywm, wayfire, etc.) AFAIK automatically accepts and shares the whole screen. I don't know what KDE Plasma does.

A flatpak conteibuter wrote a blogpost about that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26521390

I wonder if you could "abuse" a service like GH Actions to replace an always-on Mac. I'm not an Apple user, so I don't know how feasible it is. But using such a (freely provided) service for something it wasn't meant to do is unethical, even tho I think it's a lot less unethical than mining crypto on it.

Would love to have TeX syntax support for this one, as I'm so used to typing it.

What about the win32 calculator shipped with w7 and w10 ltsc?

Having worked with GIO just yesterday I've got to say that the name GIO on it's own is not great in this modern age of the internet.

Because searching "gio menuitem" returns a lot more pizza than development docs :). Prefixing my search request with glib (which gio is a part of) solved that for me.

For GNOME there is also the "DrawOnYourScreen" [0] extension.

Something to note here is, that you can get the "source" from most of the non-free electron app by extracting the asar file.

Makes it probably even easier to find bugs in them.

There is also free software alternative known as Vigilante[0].

I havn't looked closely at this "Anti Stalker", but I assume it also requires usage and overlay permissions which I would give to no non-free application.

Yeah, English is my second language. I just thought of a Translation that sounded reasonable rather than looking it up.

If my little knowledge from biology class serves me correct, RNA uses Udenine instead of Thymine. But in this document it uses T.

Can somebody explain to me why?

> Still people want to create more distributions (mostly from scratch trying to emulate an android/ios experience more) instead of actually implementing missing features in the existing distributions or fixing issues in the upstream applications those use.

Even before doing that, I think the most important thing for Linux phones is getting HW-Accel to work. Any Android/iOS phone nowadays renders basically anything on the GPU and it makes the experience of using a computing device so much better.

Obviously this is very hard, as free hardware drivers (especially for high-end SOCs) are rarely available.

Yeah, the funny thing is, that MicroOS is supposed to work with flatpak. It's installed out of the box and you just have to add the Flathub repo. (And on gnome you should remove libpackagekit-zypp to prevent gnome software to try to install updates via zypper)

With flatpak you also don't have to engage in this wierd /snap trickery.

I'm currently trying pipewire on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I'm very impressed with it so far.

(After realizing it was broken, because I didn't have the pipewire-alsa package installed => No audio devices) The pulse drop-in worked flawlessly out of the box. I'd had some isssues with the jack drop-in libraries tho. (metalic voice, basically not useable) To fix this, I had to change the sample rate in /etc/pipewire/pipewire.cfg from the default 48000 to 44100.

I guess somewhat related to this: "Respectfully dealing with fedizens who are deceased" [0].

You want me to mine crypto fot you?

Anything wrong with binary eye? https://f-droid.org/packages/de.markusfisch.android.binaryey...

I'm very happy with it

Out of interest, is there also a AirPlay display sink client for Linux? I'm still looking for a way to share my screen of my Linux laptop to an Apple TV / stuff like this.

Signal doesn't. They give you a hash not a signature. I.e. if you have control iver their site, you can push a malicious signal application and change the hash.

Wait, I don't get it. Is that satire or not?

I can also recommend Fedora Media Writer[0]. It can, despite the name, install other images too and it's fairly intuetive.

I've been doing something similar.

Basically adding a alias to my zshrc, that runs: `git --git-dir=$HOME/dotfiles --work-tree=$HOME`.

And then set status.showUntrackedFiles to no.

See: https://github.com/sp1ritCS/dotfiles

I've got this idea from the following blogpost: https://news.opensuse.org/2020/03/27/Manage-dotfiles-with-Gi...

Flatpak does respect your GTK+ Theme - but you have to either have it installed in ~/.local/share/themes or youbhave to download your theme as flatpak package aswell. But that implies that someone has to maintain the flatpak packge.

While the most popular themes are available, more "niece" themes are missing. Do a `flatpak remote-ls flathub | grep --color "org.gtk.Gtk3theme"` to see all available themes.

Note: I'm maintaining a theme on flathub.
