  • But here’s where Debian gets tripped up by the ecosystem: the moment you hit a login prompt, you enter a session with user-locked audio. This isn’t Debian’s fault. It’s the fault of PulseAudio, PipeWire, and the entire philosophy of session-bound audio daemons that don’t care what the kernel is doing.

    It always seemed sus to me that Debian of all distros would stop adding ALSA by default, tbh. And for the crap that was PA at the time, too!

    To make things worse, Systemd assumes everyone is willing, able and compliant, but even using Linux in the first assumes at least the latest one is not always true.

  • Lol. I download a library or program to do a task because I would not be able to code it myself (to that kind of production level, at least). Of course I'm not gonna be able to audit it! You need twice the IQ to debug a software compared to the one needed to even write it in the first place.

  • Would you be okay with a US instance then, for example? They have couped, bombed or invaded only 48 countries so far (including mine). Or perhaps an European instance! They invaded both Africa and America and particioned them nicely as well as exercised a bit of genocide, as a treat.

  • Oh thanks for re-teaching me that one! It's been far too long since I last used French reallistically. Even tho it's better that I took that than German, otherwise I'd understand the ich_iel memes which would make them lose half their charm.

  • Still too problematic, as what is legal and not in the EU depends on the trendy neo-nazi party du jour. Check Germany, for one, where apparently showing any disapproval of Israel gets you Gestapo'd, or that's what Lemmy administrators in Europe seem to fear. Or Italy / Spain, where any attempt to liberate sports transmissions gets half the internet shut down.

    Oh, did I even mention Turkiye?

    Honestly, I've always been of the opinion that projects that are intended to be truly international need to build up to some sort of "all humanity" jurisdiction or international waters jurisdiction. Since it's not like the UN is going to provide any sort of aid here.

  • From the 404media article on the subject:

    The Distilled announcement post says the company made the choice to shut down these products because “it’s imperative we focus our efforts on Firefox and building new solutions that give you real choice, control and peace of mind online.” It also says the choice will allow Mozilla to “shape the next era of the internet – with tools like vertical tabs, smart search and more AI-powered features on the way.” Which is what everyone wants: more AI bloat in their browsers.

    (The monkey paw turns, and) we got our wish.

    We did, internet! We killed Pocket!

  • The attack surface yes, but not the attack volume. No matter if the app is containerized or native, it has access to the data that it has to operate to. That's literally part of computer nature.

    But a containerized app, assuming the container service itself is kept up to date, has less hooks to break into other stuff than a native app does. For starters, a native app can read everything that's world-readable, which in a shared system might be lots of stuff but in a containerized app might be quite minimal.
