  • bluetuith - A TUI based Bluetooth manager v0.2.5-rc1 is released

    Jump

  • I love Bluetuith! It’s my go-to for Bluetooth device management in my setup, since TUI applications tend to integrate really well into my existing theme, since I’ve set up my preferred terminal colors already.

    I can imagine this would be a great option now for Windows users who already use the terminal frequently, like devs!

  • I’ve had the same experience. I had a 6s and an XR, and they both slowed down tremendously overnight after iOS updates (not the same one, 6s happened a few years before). Also, the update for the 6s that caused performance issues also removed/made redundant a lot of the OS features that made use of 3D Touch, because the newer phones didn’t have it anymore. For the 6s, I know it wasn’t a battery issue; I replaced that battery, and it didn’t fix them.

    For a minute, battery replacements or repairs weren’t even a reasonable option, with how repair-unfriendly their phones had gotten. But afaik they’ve improved in that regard, providing official tools, parts and guidance. Also, you can call them to have them activate the Face ID module if you replace a screen, which is a big win for right-to-repair. Props to them for that!

  • In this case, it’s used as a phrase of agreement.

    Here’s a link about its usage. It originated from African-American Vernacular English, but like many AAVE terms, it’s been adopted by a lot of Gen Z English speakers and Internet communities.

  • Did something similar to this with one of those “speed up silence” plugins. It was hard to notice cuz dialog was still 1x…

  • Oh, gotcha. That makes a lot more sense. And yeah, you’re probs right, though it is a bit hard to tell at that angle.

  • I like the meme, but I do feel it misunderstood the format a bit. There’s no rules for memes, but I think a lot of the humor is derived from the typical structure of this meme.

    From what I’ve seen, it’s usually the older woman saying something that makes sense to our generation, be it a cultural reference, a current event or some slang phrase.

    Then the younger woman dismisses it as the older woman just losing her marbles, playing along and then saying “let’s get you to bed”.

    Imo the humor is mainly derived from that disconnect— we, the viewer, understand what the older woman is saying perfectly fine, but also recognize that it is contextual, and a younger person may be confused by it.

    This meme isn’t bad, but it does stray from that format. It comes across more as a respectful conversation between two people that understand and care about each other. I’d argue that the humor of this one is moreso about the (unfortunate) relatability of the dialog. It does use the ages of the characters well though, since the conversation is focused on generational differences.

    also aw man I just deconstructed an internet meme huh?

  • Oh? So I take it you look at a lot of Gen Z women, huh? 😏

    Nah I’m just playin. But being real, lots of Gen Z are adults now. The woman on the right could totally be Gen Z imo.

  • No worries, you can still have a marble if you want 😄

  • Are there any examples of Linux (desktop) viruses that are actively or were recently in circulation?

    Jump

  • Sorry for the late reply. Also @Cricket’s response is great and actually references a source!

    Anecdotally though, as a user, I’ve noticed that some things require extra permissions. Usually there’s a prompt from the operating system that’ll ask for permission capture the desktop, which lets me specify which window or monitor to share. It uses the “XDG Desktop Portal”, which was already what allowed Flatpaks to securely access OS resources, and it has a whole bunch of different requests for resources and permissions. It’s similar to a web browser, where it’ll prompt you for privileges when an app wants them.

    The hardest pain point for me has been that an app cannot detect keyboard input if it isn’t focused. This could prevent key loggers, but it also makes global shortcuts not work. There is a protocol that allows an app to request a key be forwarded to it, but it’s not widely implemented in apps (discord, for example) and I’ve had to rely on workarounds.

  • Yo if they got marbles in there for my collection I’ll gonna go all night if I need to 😤

    Jump

  • All good! You're still totally right; outside of the context, Linux has quite the user base with servers, embedded devices, and even phones, if we count Android. I think that’s relevant because it means we can’t rely on “security by obscurity”.

  • Are there any examples of Linux (desktop) viruses that are actively or were recently in circulation?

    Jump

  • I haven’t heard of any such cases, but it is a smaller pool of users. Also, many desktop Linux users know more about using a computer than other operating system users, since it’s less common for Linux to come preinstalled. So that may affect it, too.

    I imagine vulnerabilities with the Linux kernel or common utilities do apply to desktop users as well, which is a good reminder why staying up-to-date is important. But to my understanding, exploiting remotely would need a way of sending data to the target. And most desktop computers won’t have ports open to the internet for anyone like servers will.

    I know that Wayland’s design does make it more difficult for a user-mode program to act maliciously, like as key-loggers or reading the clipboard.

  • It's a good thing they don't actually think lol

  • Do they use much electricity/processing power when they are idle, or only really when they’re being queried?

  • Will kernel-level anti-cheat ever work on linux?

    Jump

  • Yeah… Apex Legends dropped Linux support a while ago and that’s one of the reasons they cited; and tbf, there were publicly available Linux cheats that ran under proton.

    But there’s also loads of publicly available “external” cheats that run the way you described. Some run through a virtual machine even. It’s just not a robust solution for preventing cheating, and mostly hurts the legit Linux players.

  • Box64 v0.3.6 running on an ARM64 Ampere Altra with 128 cores and an RTX 4060

    Jump

  • The framerates do seem a bit low to me, but box64 is emulating a 64-bit cpu on an arm cpu, right? So a very complex instruction set working on a risc chip. That’s quite the feat… and the frametimes look pretty stable. Looking forward to see this keep developing into the future!
