Lol, apt changes your system in place and is pretty likely to break it.
Atomic upgrades are fast and reliable.
But windows updates break FAR less than a messy package based distro does, especially if you actually have package changes (i.e. not a stable distro, or a version upgrade)

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Necessity is the mother of invention
51·15 hours agoNobody here mention security?
Like with passkeys (getting better though) and encrypted RCS messages, this is a proprietary standard that still sadly offers way more security.
It is token based afaik and the secret is never shared or even readable by an attacker. This card can be stolen with a single swipe, all that is protecting you is the banking system being overly cautious and expecting their systems to fail, so you need to enter a pin code on higher transactions or your card is simply locked.
Paying with VISA card online is insane from a security perspective, made slightly less bad by requiring authentication with a proprietary TAN app.

Linux@programming.dev•Podcasts/Classes/Breakdowns of Use & Basic Knowledge?
4·25 days agoYou ask a lot of questions as if they are connected XD dont worry but separate them more.
Steam is “the good side of Linux gaming” I suppose. I am struggling manually outside of steam, but if you use Steam, just use a modern distro with recent-ish packages and best the KDE Plasma Desktop (or others, but KDE works well), install the native steam client (not flatpak) and it should just work.
File extensions are the same lol. You can just copy them over. Linux can read NTFS and HFS+ which are the current filesystems used by macOS and Windows. Dont expect to use them long, but copying stuff over works. On the other hand, Windows, macOS (as well as Android and iOS) pretend as if there are only like 3 filesystems out there.
On Linux you dont even need extensions, you could remove them and they still work. Useful when downloading files from somewhere without an extension, like scraping a PHP website.

9·25 days agoPT: Peertube, OD: Odyse, YT: Youtube
English?
- LearnLinuxTV (YT)
- Veronica explains (PT)
- NapoleonTech (OD)
- Linux Guides (OD) (german but also english)
- TechHut (OD)
Lots of content but not learning
- Niccolo Ve / NiccoLovesLinux (PT, OD)
- Brodie Robertson (OD)
- Nick / The Linux Experiment (PT, OD)
- Trafotin (OD, a bit on PT)
Most channels are also on Youtube but these are the google-free platforms. I use grayjay.app for subscribing to all of them. These are just the (few) ones on alternative platforms, there are loads more on googles locked down hell.
Podcasts idk, learning Linux is kind of hands on and visual, but about linux there are a ton
- tech over tea
- linux user space
- linux unplugged (mostly advanced and selfhosting stuff)
- lots more german stuff for me
- lots more that I subscribe to but cant recommend yet XD

Firefox@lemmy.world•My Android browser has an add-on that is no longer accessible online. Can it be exported?
2·26 days agoI have tested all free Android variants (and debloated a few horrific proprietary ones) and GrapheneOS is by far the best, yes.
Very robust and reliable base, significant work on security unlike any other project. Not very shiny on the surface, but apps can be replaced and GrapheneOS is perfectly compatible with any Android app you wanna use.
Hell, I am administering a poor system that runs like all the big tech apps there are, daily, and it works fine!

1·30 days agoFedora uses firewalld, you might need to allow localsend and syncthing in your local network. You could also configure different networks to be in different “trust zones”, your local one being most trusted.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•I built a 90.7kb tool that bypasses Windows screen capture protection. Should I open source it?
11·1 month agoLol please open source it, piracy is way less bad than you may think XD also note that in “piracy” (in this case breaking software locks to access media you own or rent without restrictions) recording a screen is very much a last resort. This could be used to digitize e-books and stuff, but at least currently, movies are preferrably cracked in other ways, never recorded.
Be careful though, host it on multiple git forges and fully anonymous. Use a throwaway email and tor to create those accounts etc.
Have a look at radicle, make a torrent with the source code and put it on archive.org, stuff like that






















I have had windows users tell me that a projector needs a usb adapter. While HDMI worked perfectly fine and I even got crazy high resolution (after configuring it myself in KDE)
