Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 1h ago 100%

    Yes. Just use Bitwarden's export feature. Export as an unencrypted json file and you can import that into Proton Pass. I had no issues.

    For extra safety, you can export the unencrypted json file to /dev/shm. This is a ram disk so you don't save all your passwords unencrypted to disk (though this matters less if you use an encrypted disk).

  • Prism Launcher Release 9.0, now available
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 4h ago 100%

    Functions great. I just wish the UI was a bit nicer in terms of look and how things are arranged (there's some redundancy and strange placements). Though I did read on the Discord that some of the devs wanted to rewrite the UI code in Qt's QML, so maybe that would coincide with some UI changes.

  • Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software · Issue #11611 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 4h ago 71%

    After this and the few hiccups I’ve had with Bitwarden on Linux (official snap in part still relies on Ubuntu 18.04 libraries and still defaults to X11, not great for security focused app), I’ve decided to give Proton a shot. Went for 2 year unlimited plan, so I hope they don’t do anything stupid in that time.

    That being said, I’m not hating on Bitwarden. Based on what one of the developers said, this seems to be an oversight from their side that they should hopefully address. This is just my excuse to try out the Proton suite based on their strong focus on privacy and security, albeit with a hefty cost (and somewhat scummy strategy of listing prices as monthly but are actually paid annually, and choosing the actually monthly options are much more expensive).

  • Steam developers can now select which Steam for Linux runtime to use for native titles

    Does anyone know what they mean by “legacy runtime environment”? Do they mean running of the host system libraries rather than Valve’s runtimes?

    Correct, a user has been actively posting for the last week. Before that, a 3 month gap.

    You're right, I found it here. I thought it was based on uBlock because there's a UI somewhere in Brave for ad blocking that is suspiciously close to uBlock's UI for blocking specific elements on a site.

  • Interview with Agnes suggests that Mojang may be working on changing the combat system again
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 4d ago 100%

    Agreed, although the combat snapshots did have some nice tweaks that could be added to the current system. For example, you can attack through tall grass and being hit interrupts eating, so you can't tank damage by continuously eating.

    The article is in German, but here's a section machine-translated into English > We look at what players want and what we've changed recently. If we added new types of caves and forests to the game last year, it will be about other things for now, **such as the combat system**. In this way, we want to ensure that there is something for everyone in "Minecraft". We also try to add things that solve a problem in the game.

    Gurman: Apple Could Release $2,000 'Apple Vision' Headset Next Year
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 6d ago 100%

    I'm still wondering how they are going to get the price down to reasonable levels. I'm mostly happy with my Quest 3 I got for $400. The only thing it's missing is the eye tracking. For navigating using just your hands, it relies on you pointing at what you want to select, but natural hand shaking and jittery tracking makes selecting things difficult sometimes.

    It can do that now. You can also rebind the overview to open with meta in the system settings.

    I still prefer Gnome’s implementation though.

  • Ubuntu Gamer? The Steam Snap Now Runs Better Than Ever
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 2w ago 100%

    It definitely is much better than before and has some niceties over the flatpak. Games are added to your app launcher, no need to fuss with permissions if your games are stored on a secondary drive, and you can optionally tell it to use more up to date mesa versions.

    Though personally I am sticking to the flatpak. I like that it has less filesystem access by default. I also encountered some irregularities with the snap when using Black Myth: Wukong's benchmarking tool: https://github.com/canonical/steam-snap/issues/403.

  • NixOS project calling contributors "nazis" - dunno what to make of it.
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 2w ago 100%

    Lunduke used to be decently popular in the Linux space. He worked for openSUSE and did a yearly "Linux Sucks" presentation about things Linux could improve on.

    But many think he's went off the deep end in recent years. Anti-vax, US election denying, basically against anything "woke".

  • Best RSS Reader for Linux? Bonus if it has PDF/epub export
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 2w ago 100%

    I like Newsflash. It's a libadwaita app and is pretty seamless to use. The only problem I have with it is that trying to categorize feeds into categories can be really buggy.

    Maybe it's worth creating a feature request asking for that. Is is possible for Kindles to display downloaded html files? If so, that would probably be much easier to implement.

    If I recall correctly, GTK was initially against cursor-shape (because GTK prefers doing things client side), but is now opening to merging it. But not a high priority. The last discussion I found about it was from 5-6 months ago.

  • Looking for a distribution that I could replicate from one computer to another
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 2w ago 100%

    Yes, it's something you write yourself. Bash is the language you use when you use the terminal. A bash script is just many lines of bash commands.

    A bash script could be as simple as

    dnf install package1 package2 package3
    dnf remove package4 package5 package6
    

    This script automates installing some packages and removing some packages. The bash script I use does a lot more, such as running commands to configure Gnome how I like it.

    If you're not comfortable with the terminal, I would definitely recommend staying away from NixOS. To declaratively/reproducibly set up the system, it uses a language called Nix that is a fair bit more complicated than bash. It's also just very different from traditional Linux systems like Fedora or Ubuntu.

  • Looking for a distribution that I could replicate from one computer to another
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 2w ago 100%

    Personally, I use Fedora Silverblue and use bash scripts for reproducibility. To set up a new system, all I need to to is install, reboot, run my bash script, reboot, and my system is 90% configured. With bash scripts, I am able to reproduce more of my system than I could when I used NixOS.

    A lot of people recommend Nix, but the thing about Nix is that you're only declaring how the system is configured. Not your home folder. You need to rely on third party tools for that.

    Bash scripts can configure system and home folder. They can also be used on any distro, whereas a Nix configuration file only works on NixOS.

    Though the worst part about any new install is just signing back into everything, especially an annoyance when you have proper 2FA setup. Bash scripts or Nix can't solve that unless you migrate data over.

  • Balenca vs Ventoy?
  • that_leaflet that_leaflet 2w ago 33%

    Belena is simpler, it’s just writing an image to a drive.

    Ventoy is complicated and changes the booted image to make it work. That sometimes breaks things.
