  • Optional crash reporting was merged. Most of the backlash in the PR is about the significant dependencies (Google's BreakPad) which were pulled in with it.

    However, by default Audacity isn't built with it, you need to specify a CMake with the URL to send data to. No distros that I know of enable reporting.

  • Judging purely on the dependencies I see in pacman, nsxiv depends on imlib2, which pulls in a lot of libraries, while imv links to a subset of those libraries directly.

  • CSS is turing conplete.

  • What about adding the flags last?

     bash
        
    rm deletethisrepo -rf
    
      
  • You could still NAT between v6's though.

  • Like a normal horsey, but the square it leaves behind remains on fire, destroying the next piece to land on it.

    Only the most recent square it was on remains on fire.

  • Strange, I don't see this behavior on my device. Not sure what information would be relevant to debugging this though.

  • It's probably the biggest deal for games running in xwayland

  • That's a latrine. They're talking about a fancy light fixture.

  • How is it compared to wofi?

  • If you say "a 10d10", I know what you mean, but "10d10" is definitely the sum of 10 10-sided dice.

  • Exact same. Sway's 1.0 release was March of 2019, and it did everything I needed.

    Even playing games on my desktop, Xwayland worked fine for me.

  • Nope. If you open a nonexistent path and you have permissions to write to that directory, then that file is created.

  • 8GB memory + two Firefox profiles makes things difficult on my laptop.

  • Others have mentioned disk usage and desktop integration. There is some truth to them, but shared runtimes keeps disk uasge down (although worse than native apps). Desktop launchers now search /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications by default, but I'm still having issues with themes in one or two niche apps.

    Trust is the big one. The benefit of your distro's packages is that they are maintained by a limited number of maintainers. Flatpaks have a much, much larger number of maintainers, which is where sandboxing comes in. Flathub now marks apps with lax permissions as "potentially unsafe", which is a huge step in communicating this to the average user.

    Most desktop apps can get away with having next to no access, as long as they support the appropriate XDG desktop portals.

    Ultimately, your mileage will vary, as there are many classes of application which are ill-suited to being sandboxed. Program launchers, programming languages, IDEs, file managers are a few.

  • Move the keyboard to the floor

  • I grew up with Fahrenheit, but switched my weather app to use Celsius for a while, and I've internalized it pretty well. It works fine. The "human experience" angle doesn't work anyway because that experience is very locale-dependent.

  • If you're looking for legitimate advice, you're in the wrong community. Anarchychess is for chess memes.

    That said, what my noob brain sees:

    • it attacks white's c pawn
    • it activates black's queen
    • it prevents Qa4+, allowing black to castle

    Edit: Qa4, not Qh4
