  • Swap space could help install a slow Linux DE, if youre still inclined

  • I'd assume they'd put these pretty close to the surface, lowers the water pressure and makes it more accessible

  • Is there still any hope for static binaries (games) that "just work" across distros?

    Jump

  • So?

    Using the right build platform you could design a single flag to enable automatic appimage building as well.

    Just seems like a cleaner build environment to me, exactly what you'd want to gaurentee things remain distro agnostic

  • I'm grateful for being able to have a choice like Linux or even BSD family instead having only two proprietary choices: Windows or MacOS.

  • Its like locks on a car, sure someone can still break the windows - and if still worried you should just use an armoured car.

    But for most of us locks are more than enough to keep people out our shit

  • Android 16 lets the Linux Terminal use your phone's entire storage

  • Doesnt even give access to the camera subsystem's embedded flash memory, essentially useless

    /s?

  • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • Nixos because... I feel like were already loud enough of a crowd everyone should know its benefits lol

  • What else are they hiding from us?

    Jump

  • You can make as many dimensions as you want as long as you clean them up when youre done

  • Every immutable distro right now

    Jump

  • If you'd prefer native to using an unpopular tool thats archived since 2023, try this site.

    All you have to do is click on the revision you want to install, and it provides instructions to install it (having the benefit of being actually using the native package manager instead of just storing some binaries somewhere exclusive to the app)

    Surprised there was a non-nix way to achieve this honestly, even if it is a bit hackey

    Jump

  • Man doesnt even know distrobox exists

    (Or flatpak of appimages or any other containers)

    Good luck even finding something not in nixpkgs though

  • GCVE is more confusing if anything

    Jump

  • Sounds like flatpaks/appimages with extra steps

    Includes all dependencies? ✔️

    A single file? ✔️

    Independent of host libraries? ✔️

    Limited learning curve? ✔️

    Not sure how appimages handle it internally, but with flatpaks you can even be storage efficient with layers, whereas 100s of static binaries could contain an awful lot of duplicates.

    Jump

  • Can't see why you dislike appimages, sure not 100% size efficient - but for one off binaries youre probably not spending much time optimizing anyways.

    Not that you couldnt make an appimage 2.0 solving all your issues, but we'd just be back to that package manager xkcd all over again

  • Kinda feel like they said something like

    "I think everyone should have food"

    And you responded with

    "you want a Walmart on every block in the world?? do you even know the environmental impact that will have? Poor people are really to blame anyways because they're not voting with their wallets enough"

    How an asshole can mess something up is entirely independent of how a proper implementation might not mess up

    Edit to say: I think this is what they meant in their comment about (American) capitalist propaganda; You dont realise your implicit bias enforcing that it must be a capitalist implementing it without any external input.

    To the rest of the world he's just an infamous citizen in a dying country, who would never realistically have 1/10th the pull needed to enforce that BS internationally; by starting the conversation at best he'd speed up external implementations.

  • EU Commission Kicks Off 2025 With Yet Another Plea For Backdoored Encryption

    Jump

  • I mean I imagine an LLM is able to generate more entropy from the sheer computing power put into it, but I agree traditional digital stenography methods are MUCH more cost/power efficient than an LLM.

    (Not even to mention the amount of cyclic redundancy youd probably need just to get a message across)

    Depending on the environment I suppose texr-based could be beneficial vs (relatively) large media files

  • I could honestly see this as one of the few legit uses for LLMs.

    Throw some data ino it and make some "natural text" to obfuscate it.
