Tokyo taxi driver arrested for allegedly running into and killing pigeon
Reply in thread
I'm all for defensive driving, but if an animal (or someone) jumps at the front of your car at the last moment, how can you avoid it?

At this point you're a conspiracy theorist if you don't want to eat bugs.

Lobsters are basically bugs
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I find it disgusting to eat animals like shrimp or lobster because they look too similar to insects to me.

Nintendo doing the smarting

While it's weird that they waited so long,
I think they are afraid emulation on steam deck gains traction.
Since it runs Linux, you could install and run Nintendo games on a competitor portable console that has a lot more games and a more powerful hardware

Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games - Linux 17% faster on Average

I don't even check protondb anymore. If it's a single player game with no anticheats involved, I know it'll work.
The only reason I still have a windows Partition, is due to the lack of HDR support on Linux.

"[GNU/]Linux being secure is a common misconception in the security and privacy realm."
First thing I read and it's not even true.
Flatpak's permissions are also far too broad to be meaningful. For example, many applications come with the filesystem=home or filesystem=host permissions, which grant read-write access to the user's home directory
You can absolutely have more narrow permissions
For example, by default, Firefox only has read/write access to xdg-download and mpv only has read access to host and write access to xdg-pictures (to save screenshots). Discord by default only has read access to xdg-videos and xdg-pictures and write access to xdg-download.
I'm not even going to waste time reading the rest...

Deepfake lip syncs video to edit out profanity, match translation
Reply in thread
It must be annoying as hell seeing English-language movies clumsily dubbed over with mismatched voices and completely out of sync lip movements.
It is. On my country we only use subtitles (except for movies aimed towards kids) and I think it's much better

Is firefox with ublock or brave better in terms of resource consumption?
Reply in thread
Not sure if it’s an official feature somewhere
I'm not sure either, but after reading the add-on description, it seems like it might be.
Unlike the "The Great Suspender" extension, this extension uses the native method for discarding tabs, which means that even if the extension is removed or the browser crashes, your browser will automatically restore everything for you.
It appears to me that the add-on simply allows for more control over which tabs are automatically or manually discarded, and it also indicates if a tab was discarded or not

Which news apps do you use?
I recommend a RSS reader like Inoreader, FreshRSS, Tiny Tiny RSS

The add-on's name is misleading. The add-on does the same thing as brave

Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter

Just because it's more modern doesn't mean it's a 1:1 replacement.
Wired is cheaper, and it has better quality, but it can also be annoying if you're doing sports.
It's the same for HD and SSD. I still prefer HD to store multimedia and backups, despite being slower and older than SSD.
There is no reason for them not to coexist.

As far as I know, the only possible way to escape the sandbox is to use flatpak-spawn --host and add --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak but I only ever seen that on apps like vscode.
Imo, the point of flatpak's sandbox is to give an extra layer of protection in case of security vulnerabilities. Permissions exist so apps can still work as they're supposed to. It's not a virtual machine isolated from the rest of the system where you can or should install malware.
Besides, the manifest is public and needs to be approved to be on the default repository.

I think that only happens when you don't use windows for many months, which might be true for Linux users

That used to be true a few years ago, but now games just works without any tinkering from my experience. Except some online games due to kernel level anti cheats (like Fortnite and Valorant), but I prefer single player games anyway

Even if a flatpak app has full access to host, they can't read the private data of other flatpak apps (~/.var).
