Oh that is crazy, will have to try out KDE VRR out on my machine and see if I get the same behavior.

So can you just swap compositors for Gnome or is Gnome reliant on their own compositor (Mutter)?

Ah that makes a lot more sense. Thanks!

You sound plenty smart to me, thanks for educating me

So it's less the Gnome doesn't support VRR and more that "the wayland compatible desktop compositor that the Gnome project prefers doesn't support VRR"?

Yeah as they said it’s complicated, but in an unintuitive way more sandbox of apps can lead to apps being less effective at sandboxing themselves. Which, like you said, can be good bad or neutral depending on your threat model.

Personally I am leaning towards not using browser in Flatpaks since I trust the browser to sandbox itself. Not the position I started from initially where I would have assumed more sandboxing is a uniformly good thing.

You should probably read the included details if you haven’t and address those points directly. I’d love to know what is wrong about the problems they have described.

The details are in this link https://seirdy.one/notes/2022/06/12/flatpak-and-web-browsers/

Is that due to flatpak sandboxing?

Edit: it’s interesting, this repo is saying the opposite, https://github.com/trytomakeyouprivate/Recommended-Flatpak-Apps/blob/main/Apps/Browsers.md

The Flatpak Sandbox restricts the Browsers abilities to isolate the processes from another, and also valuable internal data like your history or passwords.

Edit 2: since folks are asking further details are linked in the article. Keep in mind I am not personally making these claims, I am in learn mode just like a lot of other folks.

From https://seirdy.one/notes/2022/06/12/flatpak-and-web-browsers/:

When distributing browsers through Flatpak, things get a bit…weird. Nesting sandboxes in Flatpak doesn’t really work, since Flatpak forbids access to user namespaces

Phind.com is pretty interesting

Quick addition, I think for the messy argument the way I would articulate it for folks running servers is it helps you move from pets to cattle.

So does Fedora Silverblue for the record.

It is a damn impressive feature to realize you just broke your install and are able to say “no problem”.

How will they survive such a thorough slamming?

I can’t wait until we are on the other side of the slammed. I am sure it will be replaced by an equally annoying word choice.

If you are using flatpacks it would reduce the dependency on out of date system packages.

Hypnospace Outlaw has a similar premise.

This concept would make a good episode.

Not too far off from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia

To give an opposite take, I bought my pocket and haven’t done a damn thing with. It’s a bit of a project to get the firmware and games on it so it’s kind of just sitting there.

More on me than the pocket.

Pairing exclusively using text messages sounds like a nightmare.

Another interesting fact concerning the ps1 chip, Sony used it as an Io controller so backwards compatibility was essentially built in to the design of the ps2

PlayStation 2 software is distributed on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. In addition, the console can play audio CDs and DVD movies, and is backwards compatible with original PlayStation games. This is accomplished through the inclusion of the original PlayStation's CPU which also serves as the PS2's I/O processor, clocked at 36.864 MHz in PS2 mode.
