  • XZ backdoor in a nutshell

    Jump

  • If this was done by multiple people, I'm sure the person that designed this delivery mechanism is really annoyed with the person that made the sloppy payload, since that made it all get detected right away.

  • Classic Microsoft

    Jump

  • Because Bedrock runs on phones, tablets, consoles, and a host of other random crap

    And it also removes Linux support. Typical Microsoft.

  • But Claude said tumor!

  • Seems to me that a lot of the world's problems start with "well, the managers think..." They all seem extremely bad at the whole managing thing, good thing we don't overpay them or anything like that.

  • As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

    Jump

  • TIL there are Linux people that don't use OpenWRT. I always assumed everyone in the Linux community used it. It's great.

    Works great with mt7621 based routers if anyone ends up looking for something compatible.

  • Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons

    Jump

  • Linux and a windows virtual machine with a dedicated nvme hard drive and GPU using PCI pass-through. Windows is boxed in but easily accessed when you need it, and the performance is 95% of native, or more. And because of the dedicated hard drive, you can still dual-boot it like normal if you want.

    Also, I recommend installing windows 10 enterprise in the VM, minimal bloat.

  • Not buying a shaver from Philips again..

    Jump

  • I don't work for Apple, but I am an electronics engineer. Just don't be surprised when your simpler devices start failing.

  • Not buying a shaver from Philips again..

    Jump

  • To be fair though, they just need to make everything USB-C anyhow.

    Careful what you wish for. Putting advanced electronics into very simple devices will just make them fail a lot faster.
    Some old device just needed 12V over a barrel jack to run some motor or light and charge the battery and it lasted a decade - only failed because the battery got old. New one now needs a state of the art power delivery chip to negotiate the right voltage and current, and all over a very fine pitch connector that will fail if you look at it wrong. Not looking good on the durability front at all.

  • A Linux user's nightmare: the machine was wiped clean with one click

    Jump

  • set -euo pipefail at the top of every script makes stuff a lot safer. Explanation here.

  • When a cave has better wifi than I do

    Jump

  • It's like calling all fuel diesel.

  • James Webb telescope confirms there is something seriously wrong with our understanding of the universe

  • Dave Jones of the EEVblog always says to beginners "I hope your project doesn't work." He thinks it's a much better learning opportunity that way.

  • They're doing this at the OS level, so Firefox can't protect you from that, the issue is with Windows. They could do the same to Firefox, they just don't bother.

  • Good luck!

    Jump

  • It's a size of paper with an aspect ratio of 1:√2, and the short edge that is 21cm long. The long edge will then be 21√2 = 29.7cm. The aspect ratio has the interesting property that it can be halved and doubled while remaining constant.

    This has been your ISO fact of the day.

  • Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox

    Jump

  • You already have AI in Firefox - local translations for example. Developing local AI aligns perfectly well with Mozilla's goals, but it seems people panic as soon as they see the two letters together.

  • What application do you use to rdp into your Linux machine from you mobile (android)

    Jump

  • Xfreerdp and gnome work really well together for me. Extremely reliable and very quick. My only complaint is lack of multi monitor support.

  • Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users

    Jump

  • Microsoft didn't get nearly enough flak for the amount of environmental damage they will cause with that decision. A literal mountain of computers being unnecessarily replaced worldwide.

  • King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says

  • Didn't realise I opened twitter instead of Lemmy today...

  • Removed

    Thoughts on this?

    Jump

  • I remember having this realisation about Mir, but only after we collectively ran it off the cliff wall. The main reason everyone piled on Mir was that it was thought that Canonical would be priming Linux desktop for fragmentation with two competing standards.

    But in fact, Mir was providing a solution to the fragmentation Wayland was bringing. Now we have 3, 4, 5 Mir-s, all with slight incompatibilities. Want a feature? Better hope all of them decide to implement the extension after someone proposes it. We know how well that worked in the past.

    This is also ironic because the detractors of Xorg constantly talked about the issues with Xorg extensions and how many of them there were. But I never really had to look up which extensions Xorg supported, while I have had to do that with Wayland compositors.

  • Come on now, give him some credit. He waited a whole few days before completely going back on his words.
