GNU/Linux Gaming on Kbin@kbin.social•I want to return to Linux. Recomendations?
1·2 years agodeleted by creator
so I can totally ditch chromium/electron
GNOME Web isn’t Chromium-based and does support PWAs, so it might work for your usecase.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My office has automatic faucets in the bathroom and I've started sticking my hands under the faucet at home and wondering for a second where the water is.
11·2 years agoSomeone I know recently switched from automatic bathroom lights to manual ones. Remembering to turn them on isn’t an issue, but months later everyone still forgets to turn them off.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What hostname do you use for server? home.box or home.local?
7·2 years agoAnd
.boxhas been registered as a generic TLD now, so you could run into external .box domains.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Dutch government starts own Mastodon instance as reaction to the instability of Twitter
21·2 years agoThey’re not going to have open signups. It’s government agencies only. Not that there’s technically anything stopping Germans from joining the PR departments of our government agencies…

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•So I tried signing up for Twitter to do a little trolling there...
11·2 years agoSo what you’re saying is that Twitter successfully kept out a bad actor.
It’s a shame that most of the users they have left are also in that category, but hey, they seem to be working on it.

Technology@kbin.social•Google’s medical AI chatbot is already being tested in hospitals
1·2 years agoThat’s the real AI apocalypse:
- People outsourcing decisions to predictive text because they believe it thinks
- AI hallucinations becoming commonly accepted as truth, as generated articles bury actual knowledge in a flood of bull droppings

Fedora Linux: It's your Operating System.@kbin.social•UNOFFICIAL poll about OPT-OUT metrics proposal
2·2 years agoYou’ll still have the people who are opposed to any telemetry at all, but I think that would do a lot to alleviate the concerns.

Fedora Linux: It's your Operating System.@kbin.social•UNOFFICIAL poll about OPT-OUT metrics proposal
1·2 years agoA poll like this is never going to be representative, unfortunately.
Mr_Figtree@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Can I override custom styles for magazines?
4·2 years agoI’m using kbin Magazine Style Toggle to disable the custom styling on certain magazines, but I had to modify line 36 to make it work:
36c36 < let style = document.querySelector("head > style:nth-child(22)"); --- > let style = document.querySelector("head > style:nth-of-type(1)");

Firefox@fedia.io•delete all site setting and cookies exceptions on firefox mobile
1·2 years agoAs far as I know you can’t set exceptions on mobile Firefox yet. It’s rather annoying.

Fedora Linux: It's your Operating System.@kbin.social•Fedora Project on Mastodon clarifies some things about the telemetry proposal
2·2 years agoOn top of this not being at all final yet, there’s nothing stopping you from just not having it enabled (nothing gets sent until you click through the privacy page with the toggle enabled). Could you explain why it’s still such a big deal to you?

Fedora Linux: It's your Operating System.@kbin.social•Contribute at the Fedora Linux Test Week for Kernel 6.4 - Fedora Magazine
1·2 years agoIt’s not just the upstream for RHEL, it’s also a pretty nice desktop operating system. So as a Fedora user I benefit very directly from Fedora working well. If you’re not a Fedora user, then sure, there’s probably something better that you could do to contribute to the distros you do use.

World News@lemmy.world•France passes bill to allow police remotely activate phone camera, microphone, spy on people
61·2 years agoThese are all fine in the US, but in other countries not carrying proof of identity can get you into some trouble, as can refusing to talk to the police. Know your local laws.

Firefox@lemmy.world•Firefox 115 can silently remotely disable my extension on any site
2·2 years agoAh, I see. Looks like that should enable people to take individual domains off the list, too, if they want their extensions to work on just some of them.
Mr_Figtree@kbin.socialto
Linux@kbin.social•Open source developers - have the recent moves by RedHat changed your opinion of using non-GPL licenses?
6·2 years agoFor Fedora users it changes nothing at all. Fedora is upstream from Enterprise Linux. There’s no practical reason you’d want to switch to a different distribution, just maybe a personal one if you strongly dislike what Red Hat is doing to the RHEL clones.

Firefox@lemmy.world•Firefox 115 can silently remotely disable my extension on any site
3·2 years agoIs there a list somewhere of these “quarantined” domains?











Does the certificate have a basic constraints extension with
CA:TRUEset? Firefox doesn’t allow that for certificates used as ‘end entity’ certificates. You’ll want to re-generate the certificate without the extension.
