I wonder if anyone at Valve is working on bringing trusted boot into mainstream Linux desktop usage. I'm pretty sure that's the core hurdle that keeps game developer's wary of the anti-cheat situation on Linux.
But it does open the can of worms of making it easy for apps/games to only work on specific Linux systems. We see that with how GrapheneOS has essentially the same verified boot functionality as "normal" Google Android but that doesn't actually mean any apps that want verified boot actual work on GrapheneOS.
Maybe if Valve creates a consortium of Steam verified boot certified distros. Then Valve could require that games that publish on Steam with verified boot requirements have to support any distro in the consortium. That seems like it would likely prevent the issue. The core issue being that you don't want to make it so easy for developers to prevent their game from running on certain devices that they just turn it on just because "why not?". The worry is losing games that might have supported Linux dropping support for all Linux except SteamOS.
We sort of have that now with secure boot in a way. Microsoft makes it so that other OS developers can boot on the vast majority of OEM Windows computers without disabling secure boot.
As a smaller community I think we can (for now) lean into things that wouldn't be acceptable on r/rust.
As people gave said that could look like updates on small projects. It could also look like shit posting silly rust related jokes and such. And lower quality questions that spark discussion.
I imagine there are other things as well. Like maybe screenshots of dev setups or random musings
Never got on board with email but the pages functionality is amazing and doesn't exist anywhere else (at least with e2e and real time collaboration). Not sure where I'm going to go
As people have said containers is amazing.
But in the scenario where you really need 2 completely separate browsers and don't want to use different operating system accounts (I've done this in the past).This extension has worked well for me
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profile-switcher/
It's not ideal that it's an extension but it does do its job
Mmm yeah that's tricky. Do all lemmy updates break compatibility with the database? (assuming that's why a backup restoration would have been required)
does anyone know if there is any work on like a portal/wayland extension or something to enable the ability for applications to get permission to create an always on top window on wayland.

What are the disadvantages of desktop use variants?
I guess I switch to single boot Fedora Silverblue just in time

Ok I think I've been using clipboard history for this. Might be an app/feature I didn't know I was missing.

Was this an issue that could have been fixed by downgrading?
run in a VM/container?
Does it also handle notifications for tab send differently?
Vpns?

Cool I'll have to give it a look. Thinking of moving off Niagara myself
would much prefer matrix as the standard
Just gotta get someone to hack their system. Then it'll be easy to prove damages
