Thanks for the links. I’m not versed in drivers, but I expect most to talk to a proprietary firmware at some point. Most computers have a proprietary BIOS they have to talk to, though they do follow open standards. NVIDIA’s GSP probably doesn’t have open standards. Whether the API is documented might also be an area of concern.
At least this is a step forward. Good read 👍
If this is what it takes for people to understand what privacy is… This is why “I have nothing to hide” is bullshit. You might become the registered Dutch Jew the Nazis are seeking, and surveillance capitalism don’t just tell them where you live but also where you are this very moment.
Don’t be daft, protect your privacy.
It’s too bad that there’s still a proprietary binary layer that this driver will talk to. (I’m assuming right/wrong that it’s not open source, since it’s binary.)
I must’ve missed that from in the post. Do you have more information on that?
Somewhere, somebody’s having a meltdown because Rust is spreading more and more in the kernel.
Good to see that NVIDIA is writing opensource drivers (or starting to). I guess it’s too much to ask to support old graphics cards, with NVIDIA mostly caring about money and a linux driver being an incentive to choose NVIDIA over AMD for some.
Vivaldi? The closed source browser? How do you know it shares nothing?
Matrix and Revolt do exist. Revolt being the “spiritual” successor of Discord.
I wasn’t being very serious about nix. IMO, it’s quite the time investment due to its poor documentation and it has a lot of gotcha’s if you aren’t on NixOS e.g one example is that it’s great for terminal applications, but horrendous for GUI applications as it’ll be hit or miss. Again, this is if you’re not on NixOS. So, it can feel like an “all or nothing” approach.
If you have the time and will, then it can be very rewarding. But if you just "want something that works ™ " side by side in your current system, personally, I wouldn’t recommend it - unless it’s hidden by some other tool like devenv (which is a great tool for reproducible developer environments).
Adopt nix and you will be able to ignore it forever! 😉
Seriously though, as others have said, use whatever fits you best. I avoided snaps and flatpaks due to the increased size requirements. So many things were duplicated for no apparent benefit (to me). However, with their introduction of permissions and portals, it does seem like a safer option. Although, we’re in a phase right now where not everything is flatpakked and applications trying to talk to each other is a pain (keepassxc unable to talk to flatpak firefox librewolf, chromium, etc.).
Now that I use nix, I have a whole bunch of other problems, but at least getting packages is quite low on the list.
The eternal problem of open source: people will happily pay for proprietary software and services, complain that open source isn’t ready. Then when it is, they will not donate a single cent to continue development but instead create passive aggressive posts and issues demanding features or shitting on the project.
I wanted IPFS to be successful 5 years ago. I wish it had been successful, but barely anything has changed. It’s a resource hog with a terrible UX. There’s nothing easy about it and the documentation is straight to “here’s our HTTP API”. Gee, thanks, what about the people who don’t want to immediately write an application?
Uh… Where do you get that it uses IPFS? I checked the seedit repo and it doesn’t seem to mention it in the dependencies nor readme.
This way, if the third party starts doing some bullshit like trying to lock me in, donating to a dickhead, or whatever else I disagree with, I can cancel my subscription, move to another third party, and keep all mails on my server.
I would like to be able to change providers and have the emails available on multiple devices.
IMAP allows multiple devices but leaves the emails on the server. POP pulls them from the server but that means they aren’t available to other devices anymore.
The solution (I think) is to pull using POP onto a shared server, then make the pulled emails available using IMAP.
Does your POP mail client sync across android and Linux (3 devices BTW)? Do share it!
Are you trolling or is this the first time asking for help?
Imagine if someone told you their car didn’t work, you asked what they did, and they said “turned the key in the ignition twice and it doesn’t start”. ? No make, no model, no description of sound or recording of the action, no idea when they got the car checked, no photo of the warning lights, nothing. Would that be enough information for you to help?
As @just_another_person@lemmy.world said: post configs! What is your OS, what commands did you enter, what are the contents of your yml files, which containers are running, which images are you using, etc. Nobody can help you otherwise.
Add the information to the original post.
I don’t know of another frontend. You might want to try only office instead.
There’s probably more to the story as to why Fedora started their own flatpak repo in the first place. I can’t imagine it was for shits and giggles. Anybody have insight into this?
What is the connection between your client and server? Is it wireless and going over the router first? Does it work with a direct, wired connection between client and server?
If your connection goes over your router, does your router have a DNS server? What options do you have for DNS config on your router?
I’m hoping email will be replaced by the protocol companies agree upon when the Digital Markets Act kicked in and forced interoperability between messaging clients. Once that happens, hopefully all we will need to share is $username and be able to communicate using a secure protocol.
When that will happens is another question though. I really thought implementation would’ve been done by now since Matrix already is the right protocol for interopability, but it looks like Facebook wants to or has already built a custom protocol with demands to track users 🙄 I hope the EU commission will have a word with them.
Tuta doesn’t support import mail for free users yet. They’re rolling it out for paying users first. There’s no timeline for free users.
I look forward to the day where building a kernel from scratch is as simple as cargo build and testing it as simple as cargo run without having to muck about with dependencies and all that jazz.
Them being NVIDIA, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they pulled such shenanigans. Doubtful anybody wouldn’t put it past them. (What a weird expression BTW, eh?)
