Unfortunately the tech-illiterate heads that control DOST would reject such proposal.
Philippines should be next. Unfortunately the lack of net neutrality allows our telcos to literally provide unlimited text-only Facebook access for free, like wtf...
As for the permission popups, they have already done that through XDG Desktop Portals. You might have noticed that, for example, apps with supposedly no filesystem access can still open files you selected via the file picker or opened via the file manager. Or that apps need you to explicitly allowlist them to access your location data. Those are apps that use the portals permission system. Unfortunately not all apps use portals yet.
I have seen mockups of GNOME adapting a similar banner style as what Flathub. We might have to wait for GNOME 47 though.
Flathub is launching their new featured banners on April 20 using brand colors provided by publishers
Attached: 1 image Thanks to all you developers out there adding brand colors to your apps over the past months we're almost ready to launch featured banners ✨ If you're an app maintainer and haven't done this yet for your app, here are the docs: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/appda...
Here I am chilling with Amberol
I vaguely remember some money calculating-related project guy who received a PR that heavily optimized and updated the project. Since he was very busy and no longer really wanted to maintain the project, rather than reviewing and merging the commit, he gave the contributor complete access to the repo for them to maintain the project at their own discretion. The project was unpopular back then—when he looked back a few years later, he was surprised to discover that the project had racked up several thousands of stars.

IMO Flatpak is the best of them all. I don't want to bother with repo packages that have complete and unnecessary access to my system. Flatpak neatly installs an app and isolates it, and if I no longer want it I can just easily click "Uninstall" on my Settings app without it leaving a mess or any trace behind, unlike repo packages that manage to screw something as simple as uninstalling itself.

Evil Wayland is making their app crash
Sorry for the Windows emojis lol, I'm on a computer shop as I post this on lunch break
On much more recent driver versions Wayland support has been further improved. I suggest going with Fedora Silverblue since RPM Fusion is pretty quick to roll out new driver versions.
I've been under scrutiny, yeah oh yeah, you handle it beautifully, yeah oh yeah, all this shit is new to me
Here in my country, it's not hard to find male Swifties your age. Not really surprising since we're the first country in 2022 to have Cruel Summer back in our charts, several months before it went #1 in USA.
Vanilla OS 2 Orchid will be released "very soon"
Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
Original message from the Vanilla OS Discord announcment, from @mirkob1:
> For those asking for Vanilla OS 2 Orchid's release date, the simple answer is: soon, very soon. > > While the full one is: please let us work with no rush, Orchid has a complex structure, introduces new paradigms and we want to be sure that everything works the best before releasing.
Workaround for recent Roblox crashes (for Vinegar)
Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
Roblox recently released an update that caused freezes on the desktop app. Some cannot open Roblox while others experience crashes after a few minutes of playing. This seems to be caused by a change in their anti-cheat engine, as Windows users with BitDefender experienced the exact same issue.
If you are using Linux and have installed Vinegar from Flathub to run Roblox, you can follow these steps to work around this bug.
-
Open the terminal. You can find it in your app drawer.
-
Paste
flatpak run io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar editand press enter on your keyboard. -
A text editor will open on the terminal. You can move the cursor by using the arrow keys. Paste the following into the bottom of the file using
Ctrl+Shift+V(Ctrl+Vis not used for pasting by the terminal). If the[player]line already exists (e.g. you have modified it before already), only add/replace thechannelline under it.
[player] channel = "zavatarteam2"
- Save the file by pressing
Ctrl+OandEnter, thenCtrl+Xto exit.
You can then open "Roblox App (Vinegar)" on your app drawer to play Roblox as usual.
Flatpak standing the test of time: modern Flatpak apps running on Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, a 7-year-old distro
!Gradience, Flatseal, Loupe Image Viewer, and Resources running on Ubuntu 16.04
!Firefox 118.0.2 running on Ubuntu 16.04
!Door Knocker, Collision, and Cartridges running on Ubuntu 16.04
!ASHPD Demo running on Ubuntu 16.04, showing a notification through XDG portals
According to Door Knocker, almost half of the portals are unavailable on Ubuntu 16.04, compared to only one unavailable on Fedora 39 with GNOME, which means Flatpaks running here may have more limited capabilities than usual.
Nothing's definitely off in here
Not that it's bad. For me, it's actually very useful, I just find it mildly amusing that an app for managing AppImages is packaged as a Flatpak, despite the two formats being widely known as competitors\*.
\* Okay, most people (including me) would say that the two formats are for different use cases and aren't directly competitors, but for the eyes of a lot of AppImage purists and Flatpak critics, they are.

Is it just me or did Lemmy suddenly became more active now that Sync for Lemmy is released?
I don't know if this is just a placebo effect, but it feels like there's a lot more socialization and faster upvotes in the past hour Sync was released.
Remaining Sync for Lemmy issues the developer would like to fix before releasing the public beta
