Mozilla doesn’t run Thunderbird

I really hope this doesn’t impact the client too significantly. A substantial part of why I use Thunderbird is to keep out of these “ecosystems”.

Among other things it lets you define the return type in terms of the arguments to the function.

I put a 3060Ti in my latest build. The NVidia drivers would consistently hard lock my PC after about a day of uptime no matter what I did. I spent ages trying to hunt down the issue, and waited through several kernel and driver versions in vain hope, fuelled by people insisting that the NVidia drivers were “good now”. I switched to nvidia-open once that released (or once I realised it existed) to no avail. Nouveau was not available at all for those cards when I started and was still missing critical features at the end.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever encountered a kernel crash in nearly two decades of Linux computing. And second, and third and…

I switched to an AMD card, a 7600 (a generation newer! In case anyone thought this was a “new hardware” issue) and the problem was immediately gone, and my PC has returned to being my sanctuary.

My problem is exceptionally rare - I think i found one other person experiencing it over the course of 1-2 years. But the concept that NVidia had redeemed themselves continues to ring hollow for me.

Paru started as a rewrite of Yay by the main developer

Partitioning is something I don’t mess with on the terminal. Last time I set up a new drive I used SystemRescueCD first just to use gParted before installing arch (manually)

What was your experience with Inkscape and Godot? I have those both installed from repo.

I’ve never felt the need to use flatpak at all on arch.

Check ArchLinux.org for news before you kick off an update. It’s got an RSS feed and a mailing list if that helps.

Read the Wiki, and turn to it first for any issues you have.

This one may be a special “me” problem, but if you’re manually interacting with wpa_supplicant, stop and go read the Networking page in the Wiki again.

Learn how to use journalctl (at least superficially) before something goes wrong.

Generally you want to restart after an update to the kernel or graphics drivers or things start degrading strangely.

Worth clarifying that it requires individuals to insert backdoors if told to, it’s not a blanket backdoor and frankly I’d be shocked if it held up in the high court.

Nothing ever makes it there though, and it’s full of baked in secrecy. I don’t use local or US services for anything where privacy is important for that reason.

Good thing Australia doesn’t have electronic voting, hey?

That would be illegal in Australia and I have to imagine most functional democracies since it has the potential to link voters to votes and undermine the electoral process.

Where are you that there are cameras in the booth?

Did you try sfc.exe /scannow?

My Windows (10) broke Bluetooth in an update over two years ago and the situation has not changed. Never had a problem with Linux on the same machine (dual boot).

If “it just works” was ever true on Windows, those days are behind us.

What is “it”? Webmentions? Webmentions can be sent from anywhere, not just places you’re actively monitoring. They can be used for example to create a comments section on your blog which amalgamates comments from various syndication points.

That is, you post to your blog, you post a link to your blog post to twitter/Facebook/lemmy etc, and comments or replies from any of those can show up on your blog itself if you so choose.

IndieWeb in general and the h-entry and WebMentions specifically.

Collectively they promise a highly personalised web experience that maintains ownership of your own content while encouraging socialisation across platforms, while avoiding the sustainability and scale limitations of activitypub.

I also want to see XMPP/OMEMO have a comeback.

In case anyone else was wondering what “Rust 5” and “C 6” were, the numbers are footnotes in the blog post.

What does “abstraction” mean in this context

Given the recent increase in momentum for Thunderbird development I was somewhat sceptical of it’s value, but that feature comparison hits a bunch of my Thunderbird bugbears.

I might migrate for a tray icon alone.

They call out making spoofing harder, although they don’t specify how.

It’s a normal thing for people to sideload apps that are distributed through the play store - that’s exactly what tools like Aurora do.

You are right that they are up to developers, but that’s the problem. It should be up to users how they run their software on their hardware.

“Security” meaning “preventing users from using the devices they own in the way they want to use them” apparently.
