  • Single file optical file transfer using a browser

    Jump

  • Woah! That's really cool!

  • Terms of Service

    Jump

  • I have a question though: a licence isn't the same thing as a terms of service document, is it? When you're reading a ToS, you're about to start using a service, and you want to know what are your duties and rights regarding the service's usage. When you're reading a licence, you're about to use software, that doesn't necessarily need to be given to you through a service, and you want to know what are your duties and rights while using the software. But I don't think that using another person's software is legally equivalent using a service, now is it? Food for thought.

  • Thank you, I learned a lot.

  • EU browser choice rules send millions more users Firefox's way

    Jump

  • And there are probably many users that do all of this due to being afraid that things might just start breaking, or that more actions they don't understand will be required to keep the system rolling, if they stray from this path for even a little.

  • Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics experts are fighting back

    Jump

  • Because having an automated way to identify what is real and what is fake can be extremely useful. That example has major red flags, but perhaps it could be that you want to check an image that doesn't have any glaring red flags.

  • Photoshop

    Jump

  • Most people can't tell the difference between the two, probably because they don't know how either of them works. And just like others have said, it's the same thing with CGI. I was watching Avatar 2 the other day and one of my friends said something about the graphics like "oh, that's probably AI", and I angrily replied "do you have any idea of how many dozens, if not hundreds of people painstakingly worked on this movie's CGI??"

  • A federal agent said WhatsApp's encryption is a lie. Then the investigation was shut down

    Jump

  • I'm sure you must receive lots of annoying questions because of the work you do, so thanks a lot for the insight!

  • A federal agent said WhatsApp's encryption is a lie. Then the investigation was shut down

    Jump

  • I see. I thought that the backdoor had to be in the client, because I thought that could be the only place where the private keys are stored, but I've since realized that it could be on the server. Thanks for the insight.

  • Uncaffeinated needs Lisp in their life. The programming language doesn't have a feature you need? Implement it yourself 👍

  • It seems Linux Mint is dropping GNU coreutils in favor of rust-coreutils following Ubuntu.

    Jump

  • The comment itself:

    [...] Rust-coreutils does affect us. This is something we definitely see as part of the base so even though we would prefer for coreutils not to change, we’re hoping to align with Ubuntu on this. We’re concerned with regressions. New code almost always introduces regressions. That’s a lot of new code on very important components. I was shocked to see rust-coreutils updated from 0.7 to 0.8 just days before the stable release of Ubuntu 26.04. It actually broke something important on our side. We fixed it. I’m sure Ubuntu will update it whenever new regressions are found. We’ll see.

  • European Union (EU) finds Meta in breach of Digital Services Act for failing to prevent minors under 13 from using Instagram and Facebook

    Jump

  • From the linked press release:

    For example, when creating an account, minors below 13 can enter a false birth date that makes them at least 13 years old, with no effective controls in place to check the correctness of the self-declared date of birth.

    Meta's tool for reporting minors under 13 on the platform is difficult to use and not effective, requiring up to seven clicks just to access the reporting form, which is not automatically pre-filled with the user's information. Even when a minor under 13 is reported for being under the age threshold, there often is no proper follow-up, and the reported minor can simply continue to use the service without any type of check.

    Jump

  • What I don't understand yet is why there haven't been any independent cybersecurity experts capable of finding a backdoor in WhatsApp. How hard would it be for an expert without access to the source code to find one? Are any independent entities monitoring WhatsApp's security at all??

  • Collective Speed Is Not the Summation of Individual Speed

    Jump

  • Very well written. The comparison makes a lot of sense.

  • Only 1% of people can solve this riddle

    Jump

  • You mean:

    apple =dh/dx - dh/dy =2xy f'(x²y) - x² f'(x²y) =2*2*2 *2 - 2*2 *2 = 16 - 8 = 8

    Your message's formatting was a little weird (writing *italic* in Markdown makes the word "italic" show up in italic and makes the asterisks disappear; Lemmy uses Makdown for styling messages)

    P.S.: great job with the math btw

  • The icons look really good. That's for sure.

    Jump

  • This edit is really well done.

  • Just found out that you can CTRL+T in fedora's installation GUI to browse web pages in firefox, amazing!

    Jump

  • Since we’d likely have to rewrite a lot of the frontend anyway, we took another approach [an approach different to keep using GTK] and have taken advantage of the modularization efforts to retool the frontend to have a web-based interface instead. The Cockpit team has been providing a web-based interface for Linux systems for managing systems for many years in the Cockpit web console, so it made sense to reuse Cockpit as a base and its web-based widget set, PatternFly, as a starting point for the next generation of Anaconda too.

    By-the-way: We’re using Firefox to render the UI when you’re installing locally. (There’s no Chromium or Electron involved.)

    Web-based benefits

    While it’s not a native toolkit like GTK, using a web based UI does have several benefits:

    • It’s easier to update and maintain versus a traditional desktop application
    • We now use Cockpit’s testing frameworks to test Anaconda’s web UI
    • It’s easier to adapt to future changes
    • It enables more community contributions, as it “lowers the bar” for know-how, as there are many more developers familiar with web development than GTK development
    • We can extend it to interactively install a remote machine using Anaconda from another computer’s Web browser in the future

    Huh, I wonder if developing a web app is that much easier than developing a GTK app, or a Qt app... I mean, sure, there are way more web developers than people experienced with native development toolkits, but I wonder if it isn't a tooling problem from the part of the toolkits. I certainly don't have any experience in any of these, so I'd love to hear other people's thoughts.
