How do I know who to trust on cs.rin.ru?
  • It really isn't, malware still can easily break out as wine nor proton were never designed for isolation in the first place. Easy example is the Z drive giving program access to the whole Linux filesystem.

  • ✨️ Finish him. ✨️
  • "Tautological denial of magic" seems like a total misunderstanding of the scientific method. If you know there's something "magical" you still can study it's effects on the real world.

    Like someone here already commented, this is what we do in case of medical studies, "how good does this thing work compared to something that gives the illusion of working", the same can be done for whatever you define as your "magic".

  • Recently started working on a collection of nix-colors adapters, what do you think?
  • Thanks, I didn't know about these two.

    It looks like ThemeNix can't declaratively apply styles to Firefox and it's module system is limited.

    Talking stylix

    base16.nix allows you to import colours from base16 into Nix code. Stylix takes this a step further:

    • Automatically colours and changes the font of apps Sets your wallpaper
    • Exports the colour scheme to be used manually for anything we missed
    • Can also generate themes based on an image

    Looks like stylix has a similar goal, but goes too far in my opinion. I will try it out and consider contacting the author about sharing some configs. Also doesn't support accent color and supports different adapters than mine (doesn't theme Firefox but has more other themes).

    Recently started working on a collection of nix-colors adapters, what do you think?

    You can change the color theme of your whole desktop with a single line of code.

    Currently supported adapters:

    • Adwaita (GTK3, GTK4)
    • Alacritty
    • dunst
    • Firefox (hijacking the default theme with userchrome.css)
    • GTK2
    • Kvantum
    • Rofi
    • swaylock
    • Wezterm

    Cory Doctorow: What Kind of Bubble is AI?
  • The same way companies advertise they are certified to be "Privacy respecting", right? right?

  • What phone brand do you like the best?
  • second hand Xiaomi + flash Lineage, good hardware for the price, community support

  • Microsoft Is Spying on Users of Its AI Tools - Schneier on Security
  • Don't overuse AI, there is plenty of resources on the web and at least you can practice reading docs. Use Phind. https://www.phind.com/privacy

  • Best privacy friendly, reliable and affordable domain name extension ?
  • Yeah but this way you can only communicate with other Tor users. Also the mail server can prolly easily leak your actual IP if you don't harden it well.

  • Flatpak is only for graphical apps - Flatpak's biggest flaw?
  • That's not true and misleading. Docker and flatpak base images mostly contain shared libraries and even these get automatically deduplicated. Your flatpak calculator doesn't ship systemd or any other init system nor does it ship system drivers lol

    And yeah if you are working in a restrained env and care about those few mbs taken by shared libraries then containarization is not for you.

    Containerization is not perfect and it will never be, but that was never the goal. Making apps and services independent of the base system and easily restrictable like mounting volumes, restricting network, etc.. was.

  • (15th of Dec) Element Discontinuing Hosted Matrix for Consumers
  • Yeah, I hope Element manages to become sustainable. It feels like they are running out of funding from what they did in the last month.

  • Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Satellite for smartphones fails to take off
  • I think it was more about vendor lock-in. The phone manufacturers want to be the ones you are locked to, not to Iridium.

  • AI tidies up Wikipedia’s references — and boosts reliability
  • I have to test this on some article recommending alternative medicine

  • Experiences using immutable Linux desktops?
  • you can always just overlay that ;)

  • Distrobox is such a cool utility! Tried it out today and don't see myself switching distros now for a long time :)
  • Distrobox uses podman/docker under the hood. Each distro should have a corresponding OCI image.
