Meta's 'Threads' wants to colonize the Fediverse
Meta plans to work with ActivityPub, a vendor that already partners with Mastodon and is currently working on a deal with Tumblr. The agreement isn’t finalized yet, but has been referenced in press releases announcing Threads.
Lol. The author of this article is braindead and has no Idea what he's writing about. ActivityPub is an open standard not a vendor. There can't be an agreement because there's no one to agree with. All they will do is implement the standard

There's no such thing as a efficient electron app. First electron apps have 80MB of overhead since electron needs to bundle a whole ass browser. Also in runtime this requires 120MB of ram.
If you really want to use webviews to make an app use Tauri.

What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?
My mother uses some software that runs in the browser for her shop. It can print out receipts and scan items. To do these things it has a small "sattelite" application that runs on the system and interacts with the printer and scanner. This software only runs on Windows and Linux doesn't have drivers for the scanner.
When I switched her over to Linux and found this out in the process I wanted to stop, give up and install windows.
But then I had a stupid idea. I could run the sattelite program in a Windows VM and pass through the USB devices for receipt printer and scanner. The webapp uses requests to localhost:9998 to communicate with the sattelite so I set up a apache server that proxies these requests into the VM. I also prevented the VM from acessing the Interner so Windows doesn't update and screw everything up.
And it works. It has been in use for a week now and I've heard no complaints. I'm just praying to god it doesn't break

What? This meme is about a transaction between two trans people but that doesn't mean all Paypal users are trans. But I agree that PayPal is proprietary software and should be banished. I will delete my account now. I planned to do it for a while but haven't got around to it yet

I know. I also use VSCode. However I just hate how much ram it uses. I had a Laptop with 4Gb of ram and I could not open VsCode on that thing when I had literally anything else open because the system would freeze.
Just because VsCode uses Electron doesn't mean that Electron is not bad

[DE] Tja, liebe Kinder, einfach die Luft anhalten im Namen der Freiheit!
Warte mal was? Es geht darum, dass man nicht im Auto rauchen darf WENN KINDER ODER SCHWANGERE DRINSITZEN? Generelles rauchverbot im Auto muss nicht sein. Soll jeder machen wie er will. Aber wenn man Mitfahrende, die direkt dadurch gefährdet werden im Auto hat??? Das ist fucking Körperverletzung und sollte nicht mal ein extra verbot brauchen sondern schon als Körperverletzung illegal sein.
Was die FDP mal wieder raucht. Wahrscheinlich 10 Stunden Tabak-hotbox in nem Smart

I think Snap has the potential to be better than Flatpak. It's a real sandbox instead of the half-assed shit Flatpak has going on. The problem I have with Snap is that Canonical keeps the Server closed-source. I don't want a centralized app store where Canonical can just choose to remove apps they don't like. So as long as the Server is closed-source, I will stay on Flatpak

If you just want a terminal you can install termux from github right now. No need for a custom ROM. It will be fairly locked down but you can use almost all programs that there are for linux. I use yt-dlp in Termux to download youtube videos
