I think Wayland is at point now where I’d be comfortable recommending it to beginners. I’m on nvidia and just switched myself in the past month because I felt like it was finally ready.
To me this is actually a good move for Ubuntu’s reputation.
Losing good reputation or losing bad reputation?
I’ve never heard of this happening before. What does the TV do?
Glad to hear this is being worked on, thanks for sharing this. I assumed it was related to my config and was putting off looking into it further.
Are you under the impression Microsoft was being paid to find that exploit or something? How is that at all related?
That truly was an independent third-party finding an exploit, and do you know why it was possible? Because the code was open source.
Great point.
I tried Wayland again on a new CachyOS install and I’ve only had a couple minor issues so far, so I’m sticking with it this time.
That would be way more complex to have the motherboard play than a sequence of beeps at different frequencies. Especially at the time.
Sure, but if you’re already going to have your 2FA codes available from anywhere you could possibly want them like that then you’re already sacrificing security for convenience.
I’ll still take my chances with my LAN/VPN-only accessible Vaultwarden instance that manages both passwords and TOTP over anything internet-accessible that handles just one, but to each their own.
I can’t tell you how long I’ve wanted to have a self hostable authy alternative with mobile and desktop apps plus a web portal.
Why not just use one of the password managers that also support this? Vaultwarden also has all that.
Yes, Apple, like many other corporations, uses FOSS components in their closed source software because it saves them money from free labor. There are also parts that make sense for them to distribute under a free license because they need developers to implement them in their software to work with their OS or browser.
That doesn’t mean they’re actually benefitting the FOSS community in any way, it just means the FOSS community is benefitting their closed source software for free.

Then offer to host the database/servers on your own dime and make it free for everyone. It’s a completely reasonable price with the option to try it for free before paying.
I was skeptical about DeArrow but it is absolutely worth it. I don’t use the thumbnail replacer but removing clickbait titles makes YouTube so much more usable.
What you’re describing is the whole point of flatpaks. Just don’t use flatpaks then.
I’m sure the artists behind the music for the 20+ year old games this could be used for are really feeling the pain of their creative rights being abused from people trying to still enjoy their art after all this time, you wet blanket.
Different strokes. If I preferred using software that was just good enough out of the box over something I can customize to my exact liking then I probably wouldn’t be using Linux in the first place, or at least not the way I do in general.
Beyond that, having it be customizable means other people can change it to their liking and share that configuration, and maybe I’d experiment with it and find something I didn’t even know I wanted.
I started using fooyin recently, and it’s good enough to have replaced running foobar2000 in WINE for me.
Great advice, just want to add that Bitwarden will do TOTP for free if you self-host Vaultwarden.
Maybe I am in the wrong here, but from the Arkenfox page, I’ve read that having way too many extension is bad - there’s an unbelievable amount of these plugins.
By plugins, do you mean browser extensions, or something else? Librewolf just automatically downloads and installs uBlock Origin from the Mozilla add-on store the first time you run it, so there isn’t really a difference between that and using Firefox + Arkenfox and just manually installing uBO.
You’re right, nobody can ever know even remotely everything.
Luckily, the same device you used to post that comment can also be used to check if what you are about to say is actually true, so you can prevent yourself from spreading misinformation like this in the future.
