  • Window Animated Style Name?

    Jump

  • I was thinking in general. Some games or animes they throw shots of windows on the screen. Sometimes is even just one window and some credits, like small pictures animated. It is not necessarily the split screen.

    This one in particularly is an example with two floating windows of animations and behind we have the black screen that is not even covered completely.

    I was wondering if there was some naming for this but it doesn't seem the case.

  • Why does Arch seem to have a cult like following?

  • I have a similar need for a "niche" install. I need Arch for it. I'm doing a laptop installation with LUKS2, TPM2, Secure Boot, systemd-boot with UKI, BTFRS, Apparmor and it has a Oculink eGPU dock station.

  • What is making NixOS so passionated about it? Is there something very special in NixOS that we are missing in Arch?

  • We should challenge some of those superlatives that projects such as GrapheneOS can coin from time to time. Those projects are not abstract master entities, they have people behind of it and they are not authorities in all subject matters. They are correct about Gecko browsers insecurities on Android however it may be questionable the use of the term "leagues ahead" in this comparative. I use GrapheneOS and Vanadium but I don't believe that using some Gecko hardened browser would be so terrible like it sound. Specially if you are not a focused target. For example, I keep Tor as a secondary browser for some specific tasks on my phone.

    People could perhaps start helping more the Servo project. They really need some help and for those that program in Rust or want to learn it this could be a very good place to devote your attention.

  • This looks promising, very similar to Metro but an active project. Thanks for sharing.

  • GrapheneOS vs LineageOS vs iodéOS

    Jump

  • A significant security drawback with many alternative Android operating systems is that they either require or are commonly used with root access, which inherently weakens the device's security model. GrapheneOS, by contrast, is designed to be used without root access. Traditional root implementations fundamentally compromise Android's security mechanisms like verified boot, app sandboxing, and the principle of least privilege, making the device much more vulnerable to exploitation.

  • Google turning Pixels more and more complicated to have alternative OS isn't a good sign. I hope GrapheneOS come up with a open source and secure phone alternative. Fairphone or TeraCubes using alternative OSes aren't private or secure enough. I hate to say that but if I would be in the market today for a phone I'd be considering an IPhone.

  • The way that I see, Linux phones will only get traction when we are able to install android apps and use high end spec phones with good security. I hope that I'm wrong.

  • Do you have a Netflix plugin 4K setup working?

    I ask because even in the plugin page there are a few indications contradictory that indicates otherwise:

    First is the warning in the main page: "DUE TO CHANGES TO THE WEBSITE THAT PREVENT THE PROPER PLAYBACK OF VIDEOS, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADD-ON HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. THE VIDEO PLAYBACK, WHEN IT WORKS, IS LIMITED TO SD QUALITY AND ONLY ON SOME LINUX/ANDROID DEVICES."

    Second in the section "Reference table of high resolution" there is a footnote saying the following: "*4 Hardware decoding and 4k are supported only to devices with Netflix certification, Widevine Security Level L1 and HDCP 2.2 hardware."

    Third in the list of 1080P 4k Android tested devices we see basically only Netflix approved devices: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/wiki/List-of-1080P-4k-Android-tested-devices

  • Is there a way to de-google a smart TV?

  • Just a heads up about this approach, non approved boxes are limited by stream providers such as Netflix to 1080p HD:

    https://androidpcreview.com/netflix-hd-android-tv-box/

    So if you have a 4K TV and a 4K Netflix plan but plan to use a "custom" box your service will be limited to 1080p HD. Not entire bad but can be a frustration point if you get all built and realize it later.

  • Cross-platform video player GrayJay now available as Flatpak

    Jump

  • I eco this, I like the app.

    I can stream not only YT but also PeerTube videos from content creators that I follow. For me this is the big appeal that GrayJay provides and is pretty much underrated. One can have a centralized video platform with GrayJay.
