Aren’t AppImages still limited to Xorg?

Also there’s no centralised update mechanism or dependency deduplication, no?

Without the traditional distribution workflow

You are aware that the xz exploit made it into Debian Testing and Fedora 40 despite the traditional distribution workflows? Distro maintainers are not a silver bullet when it comes to security. They have to watch hundreds to thousands of packages so having them do security checks for each package is simply not feasible.

I wonder if that means it could be combined with DXVK to enable support on older DirectX versions as well. ^^

The easiest way to block an auto-upgrade to Win11 is to just disable TPM in the BIOS. That way Windows will see the PC as not Win11 compatible and not perform the upgrade.

Looks interesting, I’ll check it out, thanks :D

YAML would such a nice language for config files but then it turns out that “no” is falsy and so a list of Scandinavian countries turns from

• se
• fi
• no

into

• "se"
• "fi"
• False

I wish there was like a JSON5 equivalent for YAML that just reduces its scope lol
(and no, TOML also looks ugly :P)

They already use GitHub for a bunch of other projects. See github.com/mozilla/ and github.com/mozilla-mobile/

The linked message is from 2019, i.e. per-M1 Apple laptops and at a time when arm in datacenter was just starting out.

Tbh, I feel like it’s kinda pointless to discuss a comment made by someone over 4-years ago. Both the environment and the person itself can change a lot in that time.

I feel that at the very least, the customer in that case should be entitled to a complete refund of the product, regardless of whether they bought it 5 days or 5 years ago and regardless of the condition their device is in.

This should at least give some incentive to companies to not perform such sweeping changes to their terms of service and if they do, the customer can more easily remove themselves from the lock-in without taking a financial hit.

Or just use long-forms like

tar --create --file pics.tar ./pics

instead of

tar -cf pics.tar ./pics

or

tar --extract --file pics.tar``` instead of

tar -xf pics.tar

which is honestly way easier to remember... \^\^
