  • Why would they?) Mac is not needed.

    You can cross compile for Linux from windows. You can cross compile from linux to windows. You could develop for Android and Swtitch from PC.

    But you need god damn Mac to develop for mac or iOS.

    I won't build software for Mac unless I am threatened heavily.

  • Yes! I hate that companies are trying to make people think thar rooting=unsafe. Then make it work safely. Root user is safe on Linux, then why it isn't on phone?

    That's just boils down to user not giving root access to every app.

  • Suggestion at the end:

    Wouldn't it destroy GoogleBot (and other search engine) those making your site delisted from Search?

  • Would it ever support Windows?

    I know that some KDE apps do.

  • Yeah. But Lemmy doesn't add @username to it's replies.

  • That's funny, given that Discord is proprietary, and confining it in sandbox would give most benefits.

  • No, it's not nice decision. It's more political decision, to force Ubuntu's own solution instead of alternative.

    (I'm wondering if you would be notified for reply in mastodon?)

  • That's if we didn't blow yourself out :)

  • I understand that sand-boxing can be achieved by other means, and flatpak is using kernel facilities. But this is actually way to make it mainstream, and ease applications packaging. Similar thing to what happens on mobile platforms, like Android and UWP(bruh). So this is actually progress to better and safer desktop. Not perfect yet.

    Most flatpaks don't require access to root or home fs, so host files are shielded. Only way to access fs is using file access dialogs and Drag'n'Drop(which is broken currntly)

    good sandboxing has to be configured by trusted 3rd parties, like package maintainers, not by upstream developers, because the latter creates a conflict of interest.

    Unfortunately this is true. But you can check defined permissions before installing app. And user would be notified it application after update requires more permissions.

    But I guess flathub maintainers won't check/review packages, so not ideal.

    You misunderstand problem, that Flatpak is solving. Yeah, it's not ideal way to distribute OSS software, if it already exists in distro's repositories. But many distros has small repository with outdated software. But FP is great to run proprietary software, as it is able to confine it into sandbox. And untrusted code won't be able to access your home dir!

    Some benefits can be for OSS software too, as some security bugs can be unintentionally introduced, or perhaps someone would intentionally introduce malicious code to codebase, and it would bypass code review. But mostly for Browsers, which might have remote code execution bugs.

  • Lol. Won't happen :D :D :D

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    Ubuntu Flavors Will Stop Using Flatpak

  • You meant banned on Lemmy or on Reddit?)

  • Interesting. Actually FP is really good for running proprietary software, thanks to confinement/sand-boxing.

    Not so good for OSS software, which are better in native flavor.

    But I hope they can make flatpak work properly. Make Drag'n'Drop of files work not only on GTK4.

    But FP maintainers are pretending that this is Qt and GTK3 tams problem. They invented this portals as new free-desktop way, and want everybody to adopt spec.

  • I was also confused with explicit return in Kotlin, which behaves differently for inline and non inline functions.

  • WOW! Gotta install it again. I was actually planing on it. But was lazy.

  • I'm so sorry. I was trying to post it into Rust community. Have no idea why it was posted into general :-(
