They do basic checking for known malware.

It’s one year cooldown after joining a family share. I.e. if you leave half a year after joining, you have to wait another half a year to join another family share.

Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family.

You’re right. I’ve read somewhere that Apple plans to work with GSMA to add encryption to the official RCS standard, so this major issue hopefully gets fixed at some point.

Yeah, I’m not sure whether Bitwarden always had support for exporting the vault on mobile, but it’s an awesome feature.

RCS isn’t E2E, and it doesn’t minimize metadata.

Moxie Marlinspike has been strongly against federation in Signal because of how it makes avoiding metadata almost impossible.

I’d say there’s basically zero chances Signal will add RCS.

I’d argue XMPP is less ideal than Matrix because groups are located on a single server, which makes them easier to take down than Matrix’ replicated state.

Running any P2P/decentralized protocol over I2P seems to be the best for privacy and censorship-resistance. I2P already works great for torrents, except for it’s speed and lack of users/seeders.

The problem always comes down to usability and barrier to entry. Telegram is popular because it’s great to use, and doesn’t moderate much. More private services rarely (never?) reach the level of usability most people expect, often simply because of it’s architecture.

They are evaluating different ways to continue to support ad blocking. E.g. “unbraving” Brave Browser, or just implementing their adblock-rust.

They most likely won’t support MV2, since it would get increasingly difficult with each update to Chromium.

Creating a wayland compositor based in wlroots is much more work than an X11 window manager. And then there’s quite a bit of work to keep up with new Wayland protocols.

But I personally don’t think there’s a need for more compositors, since the existing compositors do support all kinds of tiling.

E.g. river has custom layout providers, which allows for creating completely custom tiling behaviour. There’s even a hyprland plugin which implements river-layout-v3.

Since most of the fediverse is run by volunteers, blocking ads isn’t much of a concern.

Though I do agree with the sentiment and I love Firefox + uBlock Origin on my phone.

I got the first part about Chrome as a joke, but after I read the edit I wasn’t sure anymore.

But seriously, Firefox kind of sucks.

Why do you think that? I’m happy with Firefox. It let’s me customize the tabs bar through userConfig.css to exclusively use tree style tabs and supports uBlock. That’s all I really need from a browser, but, sadly, all other browser only support basic vertical tabs.

A lot of edge lovers here

I guess many here don’t particularly like Chrome, just like they don’t like Edge.

I.e. using a browser that spies on you to download another browser that spies on you doesn’t seem like a great deal to me.

Both being based on Chromium there isn’t even any performance difference between them. Insert “they are the same picture”-meme.

Transcoding and transcoded downloads does not seem to be merged yet, altough there’s a working PR.

The Lemmy equivalent to a Reddit subreddit is a community.

I’ve been using COSMIC Epoch pre-alpha for the past two months, and it definitly is on a good path. There’s still many bugs, but COSMIC has gotten much better, and more featureful (e.g. I’m finally able to use my keyboard layout of choice and rebind all keys accordingly). The only major missing feature is VRR/adaptive sync, because I really don’t like playing CS2 with vsync.

Sadly they switched from dynamic tiling (river, awesome) to manual tiling (sway/i3-style), but together with the window-movement-animations it’s awesome. Finally there’s a desktop with a compositor made with tiling in mind, and not as an afterthought.

Also I find it great how many distros already have COSMIC packages in their community repos.

Well, it seems my reading skill deteriorated to a surprising extent. You’ve even mentioned handbrake in your post…

Building MakeMKV seems to require a binary, which is unfree. I assume this is the reason it’s not in official distribution repos (except Nix and FreeBSD).

It’s in the AUR and Nixpkgs, both automate building it from “source” (+binary). MakeMKV is in FreeBSDs official repos, according to pkgs.org.

Almost all oft their breaking changes over the last few months were about their docker-compose setup and the simplification of the same. They’ve startend out with multiple purpose-specific (micro) containers, which turned out as a Bad design decision. These changes require manual intervention but seem to be mostly finished, so I don’t expect these to be many breaking changes in the forsseeable future.

The better you plan ahead, the fewer breaking changes you have to impose on your users.

I agree. From what I’ve read, they now have (published) plans for what’s ahead.

Iirc the droidcam module gives the virtual cam a proper name to be displayed in an app (e.g. browser, …).

desec.io can be used with any domain registrar and has an API with support for various ddns clients (ddclient, lego).

deSEC is a free DNS hosting service, designed with security in mind.

Running on open-source software and supported by SSE, deSEC is free for everyone to use.

Edit: To clarify, desec.io does not sell/rent domains. Desec has to be set as the authoritative nameserver on the registrar, then desec can manage domain records instead of the registrar (which usually also provides their own domain hosting for “free” by default).

According to Netflix documentation, they only support 720p on Linux, regardless of the browser.

Chrome officially supports 1080p on Windows and macOS, while 4k is only available through Edge on Windows and Safari on macOS.

In the past I’ve used a Firefox plugin to enable 1080p playback on Linux, but the bitrate was lower than the 1080p bitrate on Windows (with Edge, iirc).
