How do we fix KDE? I used to donate 100 bucks every December but stopped after Nate started working directly under Valve and de-prioritizing anything Valve doesn't need.
"krashes" are the fibromyalgia of linux
>>107692396>>107693337ive used debian with both DEs. and the experience with xfce is honestly better, i mean, any DE that isnt a broken mess like kde will be good on any distro, let alone the best one.
>>107693392CrashyOS
>>107693451>any DE that isnt a broken mess like kde will be good on any distroMost KWin/Plasma crashes and graphical artifacts on Debian are also coming from old ass shit kernel+graphic drivers stack. It's very rare to see some plasma/kwin crash that is originating inside KDE code and that persists across minor releases.

Is Tails compromised?
Devs by own admission dont know how to use pgp anymore. They also go against the grain of the Tor Project and include ublock origin in TBB when that is stupidly fucking retardedIt isn't compromised in the sense its ran by feds, its compromised in the sense its ran by morons who unironically have no background or experience or respect for what tails is supposed to be or who the target audiance is fof a real, secure, system, they even go out of their way to make fun of the so called "privacy enthusiast", while trying at the same time trying to cite that the main usage of Tor is by domestic violence victims, like some 20 year old woman is going to boot up tails to avoid the network stalking on her boyfriend's wifi network. Just asininely insane stupid motherfuckers. The document on their wiki is called personas. It's stupid. The privacy enthusiast autist is the one who has no life but yet has the time to devot to making the product good, don't alienate him/her, and further, dont alienate anyone from Tor.I second the suggestion to use whonix, also of note is QubesOS, as well as Knoppix, perhaps also you might find a virtual machine to fit your threat model. I might start a fork of tails, but nobody wants to trust the new guy. But honestly this might have just pissed me off enough. I'll start rebase at the last point PGP keys were on the site, cherry pick up to master, remove ublock origin, match TBB to stock tor browser exactly by default, with heavy encouragment to set javascript.enabled to false, maybe add toggle to disable WASM, maybe add option to disable SVG, harden the network stack, ship a hardened genkernel. Does /g/ like this idea?

>>107690819>I'll start rebase at the last point PGP keys were on the sitewhat do you mean? what do they use if not PGP? SSH keys?
>>107690665>but never explain how or why.>>107690686Basically, that.Never lose sight of the fact it started as a US Navy SigInt project to provision plausible deniability. Giving someone else that sort of weapon isn't the sort of thing navies tend to like doing.Companies like Akamai Technologies operate a large percentage of the high speed nodes, giving them a unique insight complimented by a global sniffer network attached to backbones everywhere but north korea, and now china. Those telecoms backdoors being used for/by 'SaltTyphoon'? They're intended for Akamai.>>107691115>SSH keys?By which you mean x.509? PKCS-11?
Probably not

>>107689057Two more weeks

>>107689057Unlikely. LLMs won't lead to AGI, so unless there's been some significant progress on other technology then we won't.

Does anyone know of a way of transcoding mp4 to an APNG without writing the cICP chunk to it?It's the default behavior of ffmpeg <6.0, but everything afterwards seems to always write this chunk, and that confuses some websites.Conversely, if there's no built-in way of skipping and/or removing it using ffmpeg, are there any third-party tools that can remove it from the end file?exiftool can't overwrite CICodePoints because that's a read-only tag it seems.AI suggests manually setting>-color_primaries>-color_trc>-colorspace>-color_rangeto "unknown", to the equivalent of sRGB and to all the other things, but while ffmpeg doesn't error out when those flags are provided, they never have any effect on the resulting file.

>The development comes a little over a year after the tech giant [Google] disclosed that its transition to Rust led to a decline in memory safety vulnerabilities from 223 in 2019 to less than 50 in 2024.>The company pointed out that Rust code requires fewer revisions, necessitating about 20% fewer revisions than their C++ counterparts, and has contributed to a decreased rollback rate, thereby improving overall development throughput.>We adopted Rust for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density compared to Android's C and C++ code. But the biggest surprise was Rust's impact on software delivery," Google's Jeff Vander Stoep said. "With Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one >With roughly 5 million lines of Rust in the Android platform and one potential memory safety vulnerability found (and fixed pre-release), our estimated vulnerability density for Rust is 0.2 vuln per 1 million lines (MLOC).>Our historical data for C and C++ shows a density of closer to 1,000 memory safety vulnerabilities per MLOC. Our Rust code is currently tracking at a density orders of magnitude lower: a more than 1000x reduction.https://thehackernews.com/2025/11/rust-adoption-drives-android-memory.html
>>107691587>Static analysis and annotation in C can give you the same safety guarantees as Rust.>Why not just use that and keep the mature working codebase instead of using some buggy experimental trash language like Rust to rewrite solved problems?Is what you are suggesting scalable?If not well that's not what the corps want.
>>107691560> can't readGoogle primarily uses Rust on new projects. The studies explicitly state that they don't typically convert projects from one language to another as the payoff isn't as great because many of the bugs have already been found.
>>107691754> Is what you are suggesting scalable?It's just a #pragma line in front of functions for each pointer they get via arguments.This is all you need to make Rust obsolete.

Can i request some help please?I would like to elevate my keyboardI’ve been looking for a very specific keyboard and struggling to find it or even a place to custom add the features i want. I want to completely remove the need for a mouse. I just want one device that can do everything i need, primarily playing the Sims and basic office related computer tasks.It’s like i want a mash up of the following:> https://perixx.com/products/periboard-322> https://sealshield.com/product/s108pg/> https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/keyboards-and-mice/keyboards/4y40x49493I have the Lenovo, and love it, but the trackpoint is only good for excel related things and is not enough for Sims and certainly doesn’t negate a mouse all together..Thanks to anyone with some advice!

>>107690570modern android don't even use java anymore as far as I know, they have the option in android studio but it is heavily discouraged, instead they use a react like shitty language

complaining about java shows that you are joblessif you dont want to write javascript and need a pretty stable enterprise solution anyway then java is just the way to goswitching to kotlin imo is not worth it
>>107693322That C++ is very naive though. The C++ could also be generic over the key and remain just as fast where the Java cannot.
Reminder of the following:1. Google will merge ChromeOS and Android to form a FOSS Linux-based desktop OS that will be 100% free to download and use. https://www.androidauthority.com/aluminium-os-android-for-pcs-3619092/2. Windows will be severely affected by this new, totally free competitor and will bleed marketshare.3. All existing Linux desktop environments will be totally outclassed by Google's top secret desktop UI and underlying OS. Even Linux users will give up on shit like Mint and just use Google's desktop for their daily driver OS. 2026 will finally be the year of the Linux desktop, and it will be because Google will do to desktops what they did to phones. You know it's coming. Don't act like this was a surprise.
