One of my posts here gained popularity in the #Flathub vs. traditional #Linux distributions debate and I still stand by my claim that @flathub enforces its rules more strictly than Linux distributions and checks maintainers more thoroughly. None of my #Fedora packages have ever been held for review after being accepted into the repositories. Even though it's a complication for me as a maintainer, I approve it.
yeah. it's just different contribution and maintenance models that prioritize different things. I don't think there's a clear "this is better in all cases" (yet, or ever)
@decathorpe Sure, I don't want to denounce Linux distributions. Their model has proven to work. I just want to break the notion of many people who think the distro repositories are a pristine source of safe and vetted software while everything else isn't.
Well I don’t have personal experience with Fedora, but for Debian, there is the NEW queue where all newly uploaded (binary) packages are held until manually reviewed: ftp-master.debian.org/new.html
True (but also for new binary pkgs of existing source pkgs). OTOH there is an extensive vetting process for actually becoming a Debian Developer with upload rights in the first place to ensure people have the required skills and know about their responsibilities. Then there is the automated migration of the pkgs from unstable to testing after several days of there are no new bugs reported.
@moschlar yeah, Linux distros are very strict at the beginning. It's difficult to become a packager, to get a new package into the distro. But after that it's quite relaxed. I wish there were more automated checks and enforcement. It isn't only about security. It makes me keep doing a good job as a maintainer.
If you have to pay Google to be allowed to build a package that you can load onto an Android phone, then for all practical purposes there will be no more "open source" on Android except for people who pay and doxx themselves to Google. For everyone else, applications are at best "source available".
I have seen far too many sponsored video telling us we need urgently one of these NAS (same brand / model)[1] that I'm not gonna even bother asking if it could fit my need.
It won't. Nor any other from that vendor.

Ohh I'm so happy. Just looked outside, and we have at least 15 birds in the yard, and none of them are using the feeders! Everyone is eating flower seeds and hopping around on the ground.
Only the male downy woodpecker came for a few seeds from the nut cylinder.
Plant the right flowers/grasses, offer some water, and they'll be happy 💜
So we now have DHH, Lunduke, Palmer Luckey (the Anduril guy), and Jon Ringer (Anduril employee and instigator) publicly chatting about taking over the NixOS project: xcancel.com/PalmerLuckey/statu… - with at least one of the NixOS Steering Committee members being on Anduril's payroll. That's several wealthy and influential overt fascists.
I'm not sure how much more clear anyone can make it that NixOS has a fascist problem, that leadership is either failing or refusing to address (and the distinction between the two doesn't really matter anymore by this point).
Think very, very carefully whether this is a project that you want to put your limited time on this Earth into.
You're not going to 'fix' it; many went before you and failed. The broader userbase does not have shared values and continues to staunchly believe in it all somehow magically working out if we just do enough electoral 'democracy' LARPing. The leadership is unwilling to take more radical actions and eject the fascists. There is no path to a solution, no matter how hard you campaign.
Seriously. If you want something like NixOS, put your time into working with people who actually care about opposing fascism. Make a fork, make your own thing, whatever. Anything other than continuing to pour free labour and plausible deniability into the fascists' coffers.

The bias goes way beyond online spats. The good news is that Anduril will keep using Nix to build ever more powerful weapons for American dominance regardless of what the fringe "community" people say.

[T]he AI bubble is driven by monopolists who've conquered their markets and have no more growth potential, who are desperate to convince investors that they can continue to grow by moving into some other sector, e.g. "pivot to video," crypto, blockchain, NFTs, AI, and now "super-intelligence." Further: the topline growth that AI companies are selling comes from replacing most workers with AI, and re-tasking the surviving workers as AI babysitters ("humans in the loop"), which won't work. Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
The only thing […] that we can do about this is to puncture the AI bubble as soon as possible, to halt this before it progresses any further and to head off the accumulation of social and economic debt. To do that, we have to take aim at the material basis for the AI bubble (creating a growth story by claiming that defective AI can do your job).

Early phones used a single grounded wire with earth as a return. Used one over 600 yard at a friend’s place in Vermont ‘71-‘72. Later ones had an insulated above ground wire, also with earth return. They could go 50-miles(?) with many phones on a line, The Forest Service used them.

If anyone needs a simple terminal app on Mac, give #WezTerm a try. It’s a lot more simple compared to iTerm, but it fully supports the Kitty Keyboard Protocol which the latest #FishShell needs, unless you are fine with escape sequences all over the place. WezTerm also scrolls a lot faster. Installable via #Homebrew.
If it works for you and you are happy with it then there's nothing lame about it, it's great.
I personally love Fish and it got to a point where the workarounds for the workarounds stopped working in iTerm 2, so I had to look for something else.
A lot of people don't like this, but I personally love auto-suggestions as you type, the various prompts e.g. they can display your git branch name and status, not to mention scripting is a lot more approachable compared to Bash, even if you know how to write scripts for it.
There are also some things that just work and make life a lot easier. Tab completion for example can complete a filename around your string, for example if you type title, it can complete that to untitled.txt, you can set it to ignore case, so it just works as long as you know any part of a file or folder name.
Thanks. Will definitly be giving this a shot, I don't know much about shell scripting, but the last time I looked at how to do it in bash I kinda got overwelmed lol.
You're welcome. Scripting in Fish is a joy, they really try to make it as convenient as possible. You can get away with only knowing about variables, if statements and functions and learn the rest when you need to, including all the built-in functions. Here's some documentation to peruse: fishshell.com/docs/current/lan…
Yes, however, one caveat is you can't really change the default shell. So it'll always run zsh first, then you run tdsr, then fish. Other terminal emulators let you set a default shell and a command to run, so TDSR starts speaking right when your terminal or a new tab in your terminal opens.
You could change your default shell via chsh, but a lot of scripts rely on your default shell being posix compatible, which Fish isn't. This is why this approach is not recommended.
Awesome. You need to edit the .wezterm.lua file to have Fish as your default shell.
TDSR starts your default shell defined by the SHELL environment variable, but I think you can start it with the path to Fish and it'll use that instead. If not, you may have to change TDSR, it's line 436 I believe.
You can also use the -c switch when you define the default shell in .wezterm.lua so it'll start tdsr automatically. Example config (change your_user_name to your user name):
local wezterm = require 'wezterm' local config = wezterm.config_builder()
-- Set left Option key to send Esc+ (Meta) config.send_composed_key_when_left_alt_is_pressed = false config.send_composed_key_when_right_alt_is_pressed = true
-- Set default shell config.default_prog = { '/opt/homebrew/bin/fish','-c','/Users/your_user_name/tdsr/tdsr' }
Another question about Fish if you don't mind. But do you know of a way for tdsr to only speak the part it auto completed? For example, if I type `cd /path/to/file` and hit tab to try to auto complete that, it reads the whole file path all the way from the top.
Unfortunately at that point the entire input buffer is redrawn, which makes TDSR read the entire path. I haven't found a way to only read the completed part.

It wasn't updated since 2018, but we still see regular downloads by F-Droid clients for it. We'd like to know if it's still useful – or if those having installed it via our repo were rather disappointed by a non-working up, but didn't report it to us.
In my opinion it is useless. I had it installed, but then removed. In recent Android versions it doesn't help. I think because of SELinux rules and framework functionality. There are not that many applications where you can select a folder or file through a document provider directly.

So, helloo #Hear-me.Social. an #Introduction is in order, I feel. I’m Jakob. I work as an accessibility consultant, meaning I train and educate companies and people on how to make their products and services more human friendly for everyone, including people with disabilities. I am blind since birth, which has brought me to work within the disability advocacy sector, particularly through Estonian Blind Union, where I am the president. I’m also an audio nerd. I seriously am an audio perfectionist and have usually a few microphones with me to capture interesting noises and moments. I’ll occasionally post my #audioPhotograph here as well. Sometimes, I play piano and use #Reaper to create some tingelbingelings. I live in Estonia with my family, but travelling, wether because of work or for fun is in my heart. The noises in other countries are always more fun. Anyway, hit that reply and say hi! Oh yeah, tis account is currenty serving as my bakup account, meaning that my daily posting lives at @jakobrosin@universeodon.com. However, I might change that at some point, who knows.
Congratulations! Thank you for 15 years of providing a fantastic, free and open-source office suite for everyone. It's a huge accomplishment for the open-source community. Last week, I turned my dad's old computer from Windows to Linux Mint with Libreoffice and he's fond of using it. No issues!
Earlier today, Samsung released the stable version of One UI 8.0 (Android 16) to the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Now, the brand is offering the new software to their distant cousin, the Galaxy S23 FE.

CSS is kinda fabulous r/n. I've got this nested table of contents for a page that's sticky along the side as you scroll, list of links and details/summaries with nested lists, that is both a scrollspy with whatever is currently visible, but also automatically opens and closes the details! ALL WITHOUT JAVASCRIPT.
A wonderful combo of scroll-target-group and :target-current for the scrollspy, ::details-content w/content-visible for the details opening, a healthy use of :has, and ofc pos: sticky.
Bingo. That's what I ran into when I did a pure-CSS collapsible menu. It worked great, but the accessibility stuff requires JS. Still a win overall, but frustrating.
So as always, @SaraSoueidan has a wonderful writeup on the accessibility of the scrollspy technique (sarasoueidan.com/blog/css-scro…) and it looks like there's a CL that's landed (but not yet in stable) to correctly add aria-current automatically chromium-review.googlesource.c…. The CSS trick doesn't correctly communicate that the disclosure is expanded (at least in VO), maybe another CL like the former can help make that happen here, too.
