Pros:>Strong sandboxing/isolation improves security.>Widely supported across major distros (especially Fedora, GNOME-based distros).>Uses Portals apps can request access to files, devices, etc. in a controlled way.>Good integration with desktop environments.>Flathub is a central, well-maintained app store with lots of apps.>Auto-updates supported.Cons:>Flatseal has the potential to change the permissions of other flatpaks at will. Essentially, a flatpak with the ability to change the permissions of other flatpaks. It is rendered to be "Potentially Unsafe" with "Arbitrary Permissions" with access to "User Data" subfolder flatpak/overrides, Can read and write all data in the directory" and "Arbitrary Permissions, Can acquire arbitrary permissions".>Larger disk space usage (apps bundle runtimes + libraries).>Slower startup compared to native apps (sandbox overhead).>Strong desktop focus not ideal for CLI/server software.>Relies heavily on Flathub (centralization concern).Comment too long.

>>106494018It has access to these folders. Dunno if that would be bad
>>106494039Devs can give apps access to anything they want by default. >>106494049What does it say above "other files"? If it doesn't enable filesystem=host or filesystem=home enabled, it shouldn't be able to do that specific thing I mentioned.However, there might be other attack vectors. For example, since in your image it seems to have access to .local/share/applications, it might be able to override one of your system desktop files with a desktop file with a malicious command.
>>106493984By default all wine environments link directly to your root (mounted as z:\ drive) and to your home directory. Not only can your whole user directory be accessed (where 99.9% of your files, configs, etc. are stored), but your whole system as well. Sure, stuff like Bottles (and I assume Lutris/Heroic/etc.) don't have access to these directories by default, but people could create specialized exploits to escape flatpak sandbox.So, you'd only have to worry if you do this >>106494049 . Here the flatpak has access to the desktop and documents directories and media/ (all external drives). Any file in those places can be hit by ransomware, even if it's created for Windows (assuming this is your Wine/Proton launcher). People demonstrated that wannacry can affect Linux users if they execute it through wine.
>>106479792i think the only time i got stuck with an old runtime was with the am2r launcher
also i don't know why flatpak maintainers almost never patch software to fix the config paths. it's fucking annoying.
Gee, it's almost like AI is a bubble that will obliterate the American economy when it pops.

>>106493174The problem with EUV scanners for non TSMC fabs is yield and throughput/downtime, not linewidth.
>>106487850>post-scarcity.What's the AI gonna do? Tell us shit we've already figured out like that 50 lane highways that cut cities in half are incredibly inefficient? That punishing law abiding citizens for defending themselves and their property is asinine and just encourages criminals to do more criminal shit despite the risks? That we should stop building houses out of cheap flimsy plywood and plaster in tornado prone areas over and over again? That dumping a metric fuck ton of plastic unto the ocean every year is poisoning our food supply and devastating the ecosystem? That cutting down the Amazon rain forest to grow fucking sóy beans will be catastrophic and lead to drought and city flattening mud slides? That giving toddlers smartphones stunts their brain development? That we shouldn't let trannies near schools an churches and that they should be put in psych wards instead?All these issues are already known, we're just an apathetic entitled and stupid people collectively to actually do anything about it and to caught up in the fake and gay culture war where sensible stances are suddenly 'evil' because Dem/Rep supports it.If we need a rack of over priced Nvidia GPU's to teach us common sense than honestly I'd rather just welcome nuclear war instead, humanity needs a reset.
>>106494906What's the 21st century mindset then?
>>106494906It seems more reasonable to me that the later part of the 20th century was just an aberration created by the US being the last man standing with an intact industrial base post WWII.
loonixcucks would rather have distro and DE wars than to unite under artix KDE to destroy the windows menace. Loonix's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness, the freedom that allows any retard to make his own distro/de with his own retarded ideas (see ebussi and guhnome)
>>106494383>artix>literally arch but muh systemdcan we kill all arch users
>>106494383I'd rather go back to windows than unite with kde fags.

Lifetime windows user hereI just bought a new laptop with linux debian 13 and I regret it now because I started fearing security issues for someone who is not an expert. I should have probably bought a mac.My goal is the highest security and privacy without the need to be a highly technical userShould I just install windows on it and maybe get a mac later?
>>106495096Install windows so you dont have to deal with random problems you don’t understand
>>106495096>highest securitywhat does this mean>and privacywhat does this mean also
>>106495096so basically you have no clue what you're doing and you're asking whether you should do some random thing after doing another random thing instead of just figuring out what it is that you're actually doing
>>106495096>I regret it now because I started fearing security issuesThere is literally no reason for this, you sound mildly retarded.
>>106495096You sound extremely retarded so yes, a Mac would be perfect for you

Am I fucked? Or are LLMs really the way to go in the future. Like 99% is coded my an llm, I'm just making sure the code looks good or tweak a few things that it really can't get.Sometimes it feels like I'm giving up my skills for comfort, so I try to do manual coding here and then for hobby stuff.But on the other hand, I have so much more time for different stuff, more education, more planning and designing instead of scouring docs or stackoverflow.
Post funnies.

Firefox with betterfox's securefox.js is enough,and keyboard doesn't matter although I use Logitech Corded Deluxe Access Keyboard and learning emacs at the moment, although I tried both brave and vscodium and only liked the latter for ease of setting up IDE for C
I went out of my way to get a keyboard with MORE keys, not less. Can't imagine why you'd want a gimped input device when the translation of intent to machine is already so handicapped.
>>106494799huh? I have a job and use Zed at work
Nobody really uses brave, it's just an artifact to promote BAT. Most of the shilling you see is from Indians from /biz/ desperately trying to prop the price up.

Theoretically, can you completely de-India your computer by only using software without any Indian commits? Linus removed all Russian code from the Linux kernel, so something like this is certainly doable.What's a good base to start with for building a non-Indian OS under a free licence? Arch?

>>106490828>Just let the marketing team tell all the users how to think. You're fucking retarded.The HDD user interface in old-windows used to tell you tracks and sector counts as well as data locations. You could also configure the segment sizes. You could look at this if you wanted to and was a great way to teach kids how a hard drive worked.You're advocating for software being dumbed down to the lowest common denominator so the vendors can lie to consumers more easily and the system back end is further removed from the users ability to monitor and configure it.As it stands I have to download a third party app to do what used to be built into the system and then I have to deal with retards like you who don't know how an SSD stores data or why that even matters.
