Hey, @perfectdark@lemmy.world love your posts, always on point!

Nice shoutout to Revolt!

It’s been a long time since I last saw some news about it. Any comments regarding security and privacy versus Matrix ? Also, last I saw it was a bit of a hassle to self-host, am I right to assume things improved in that area ?

Easier, yes. But that’s not something you can just download and run is it ? It requires tinkering. Only an advanced user will go through that. Mainstream users will keep being unable play that way.

This benchmark is against Thorium / Mercury. Which is already way faster than regular Firefox. The total aggregated speed is considerable. https://thorium.rocks/mercury_performance

XenonRecomp > Phil’s AI

Not OP but in my experience it works fine for basic stuff, If there’s advanced formatting or complicated spreadsheet formulas you will face varying degrees of breakage. OnlyOffice is also EU and has greater compatibility, but less features.

The trend bite section has very poor contrast, I bet it fails every wcag test you throw at it.

looks way better, are there any plans for a grid view with thumbnails ?

Maybe the printer is disconnected ?

lol, what a shitshow. A product from the same company is distancing from the stench. Good on them, but it shows who did some things wrong.

wait a fucking second… Does this mean my kids will be able to play Minecraft split screen with controllers on PC ?

Some dev please do it

I have experience doing exactly that with Bazzite, Aurora and Bluefin. Booting from a USB, it works perfectly out of the box. If you want to switch between any of these distros, with one command you can rebase (switch) to another distro without losing any data. Except when you switch between different desktop environments (Bluefin is GNOME based). This is how I use Linux on my work laptop, on a daily basis. I settled on Aurora on an M2 caddy.

To install it to a USB drive, you’ll need two USB drives, one to boot to the installer, the other one is the target for the installation.

If you are more security minded, there’s also https://secureblue.dev/ but I haven’t tried it to be able to recommend it though.

The home dir on all these distros has persistance enabled.

You know what just works ? Bazzite. It’s as easy to use as a PlayStation.

You’re just not the target user.

The whole OCI mindset is geared towards absolute noobs like me, and cloud native devs that develop inside containers on a daily basis.

Take me for example. I use Bazzite, it’s the first distro I couldn’t break. On top of that, flatpaks, appimages and brew are my only options for software. Since Bazzite is an atomic distro (think immutable ) I could also use Distrobox but I don’t want to deal with it.

Everything just works for me, I don’t care about anything. I broke so many distros before. Sure, I don’t control every nut and cranny but I don’t want to.

If you know how to not break your stuff then that’s great, but I don’t, and I don’t want to learn that. I just want to learn other things.

Kde’s Spectacle is awesome

Oh man, thank you so much for doing this !!! I’ll devour every post you make.

I’m sure they have thought of this, I wonder if they plan to use web apps, or Waydroid, or something else.

Also, there’s a chance mobile Linux could benefit from sponsorships, contributions, etc
