Linux@programming.dev•The campaign to push Northstar Browser into Linux distributions
2·10 days agoYeah right? Most ethical would be AGPLv3 but that would still be incorrect. But the most copyleft open source license shouldnt break any whose code was stolen, apart from attribution
Android is kinda the only OS actually using SELinux and unix users for sandboxing user apps

Linux@programming.dev•Why isn't TUXEDO OS on non-Tuxedo hardware talked about more?

That is somehow really hard on Debian

Linux@programming.dev•Compared to All That's Out There, is KDE's Kate a Good Code Editor?
4·14 days agoThe thing is, Kate has LSPs, debugger integration, inline hints, compiler integration and warnings, projects and more.
The ecosystem is just not huge and it doesnt have full 3rd party extension support like VSCodium etc

1·14 days agoJust create a new bug, choose plasmashell and in the remplate scroll around to find the right component. If it isnt perfect not a problem, they can fix it.
Use kinfo to get infos about your system

3·15 days agoReport that on bugs.kde.org ;)
I appreciate the textured background but the nerd in me wonders how much of the size it takes up
Corpos do weird shit and call that attestation
Having integrity verification of the system is very useful and essential for things like Banking software to be potentially available on Linux.
If we want that proprietary malware… another question. Do we have a choice?
/etc is usually writeable XD
Unless you are on NixOS where you need to use nix for EVERYTHING

Linux@programming.dev•will Kubuntu ever be considered the default over Ubuntu?
2·19 days agoUbuntu still has compatibility for stuff that others dont.
Mostly custom images with weird patched vendor kernels like for ARM or RISC-V, but they also ship the snapdragon images.
On the Asahi front, the hackers chose Arch and Fedora so that was a loss for them

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•When your private keys are accessible once per year
3·20 days agoMay I introduce you to the german “Elster” tax portal?
Most fucking insane security mechanisms ever. They support fido2 but with their app, not via a browser. Their linux program is a 10MB shell script that crashed my text editor.
They have a probably encrypted keyfile but that expires in 3 years and you need to
- login
- switch to desktop mode as otherwise they hide it
- send a code per email
- the site generated another code you also need
- you get another email with another link, which also doesnt include any code in the URL
- you need to log out to login again?
- you need to enter the 2 different codes for whatever reason. One is generated on the site before you need to log out, the other from the email
- then wait forever to create the keyfile
- you also need to setup a new password for the keyfile
So afaik you need a username, email, password, keyfile and password for the keyfile.
- why a keyfile again?
- why a username if it is never used?
- why so many emails with all the secret credentials instead of secure e2ee login on the website?
This should be illegal

Linux@programming.dev•KDE Plasma 6.9 Stabilizes KWin's Wayland Picture-In-Picture Support
3·22 days agoHow to get this working now
(As multiple people didnt know that this already works)
PiP works and the windows can stay on top, but they don’t by default, they need a kwin rule.
Search for that settings page in the menu and add a rule
- class unimportant
- window types all
- window title exactly "Picture-in-Picture
- force put window to foreground
The UI is weird because there is no clear distinction between conditions and actions, but it works, this one might be specific to Firefox based browsers though.

But that then only acts as a a remote mirror, never offloaded data. And you cant use any of the sharing features, or editing in the cloud etc
