  • the attack surface for something that isn't officially maintained by the developers, and that doesn't have more vetting (e.g. distribution packages) opens up room for malicious actors.

    There are actors like #jiatan out there.

    Funny that Jia Tan was an official maintainer of xz until he was found to be problematic.

    Speaking of verifying, you know you can't really verify anything on the snap server since they're proprietary, right? On the contrary everything on flathub is laid to bare for anyone to look at.

    In the end, you're free to choose. Since you've kindly provided your argument, I've provided mine in hope you'd reconsider.

  • I would take this with a grain of salt. For me, as long as the package is available and functional for my prefered installation method, I'd go with that.

    Take cerbot for example. For some reason, the cerbot developers uses snap in their installation guide. I've been using apt on all my projects that requires https, both personal and professional (yes, I get paid to do this, among others). Never had any issue with it.

  • Show Comment Context (instead of everything)

    Hello devs!

    Just a little input from me: when we're showing specific comment (like from profile or from inbox), it would be nicer to be able to show just the parent comment for context, instead of showing the whole thing (only to have the user look for it).

    Margot Robbie has revealed she is taking a short break from acting to focus on producing because "everybody is probably sick" of the sight of her after last summer's Barbie movie.

    Quick Home Button

    Hi there! Thank you for having this app on F-Droid, and more importantly for creating this app! As a (former) user of Infinity, I'm really grateful to have basically the same app for Lemmy.

    I'd like to give a bit of my input. Actually this is a bit of my pet peeve from the old app as well.

    Compared to the other apps (e.g. Boost, Jerboa), this one does not provide a homing button (i.e. a clear way to return to top). While the Refresh button in the menu is useful, relying on that is less than ideal. It is awkward at best and confusing at worst.

    I'm not sure if the general consensus here would agree (some input here would be appreciated), the general flow on social media app would be to simply press the home button to go to the top of the feed, occasionally swiping down to refresh. This has worked for me not only on Twitter & Instagram, but also on Mastodon apps (both the official app as well as Tusky), the other Reddit apps, as well as other Lemmy apps.

    I noticed that the bottom nav bar is identical with the Reddit app. However, the two buttons on the left are redundant as they function exactly the same (due to Lemmy not having the equivalent to multireddit). Could we have the leftmost button as home? I feel like it's the de facto standard these days.

    I'd like to know what y'all think!

    Firewire, anyone?

    Any Thinkpad user here using their Firewire port? What would you use it for? I read that we can make ad-hoc connection between two computers.

    nouveau driver heat issue, anyone?

    Not looking for a solution, really. Ended up installing proprietary nvidia driver because I need the machine for my job. Just wondering if anyone have similar experience.

    I have a Thinkpad W530 with K1000M running Linux Mint I am using for work. Was using nvidia driver v390, life was good.

    Then came LMDE 6. I was thrilled to have Debian 12 instead of Ubuntu 22.04 as the base, so I decided to take the leap.

    Everything went well except for the nouveau driver, which I found to be sub-optimal, particularly with the thermal management.

    After the upgrade, the machine became scalding hot especially around the heatsink area. When doing video call, the audio is choppy. It sometimes gets so hot that it restarts itself as I was using it. Almost everytime I leave the laptop on overnight, I'd find the desktop clean even though I left things open, showing it's been restarted.

    I've only just installed nvidia-tesla-470-driver, so maybe it's too soon to tell. However, the machine is not scalding hot anymore.

    Anyone had something like this?

    Publishing New Torrents

    Hi all!

    I'm working on re-encoding a bunch of TV shows from H264 to H265 as well as making the metadata more uniform (especially between seasons).

    As I've completed a couple of shows, I would like to possibly give back to the community by shareing it so that more people could benefit from it.

    What would be the best way for this? Since I download most of it from torrent, I am thinking of having it on torrent as well. How to make sure it gets the exposure it needs (i.e. seeding)?

    online metadata collection for tv series

    I'm just trying to clean up my library of TV series, making my content more uniform. After I was done with the major stuff (resolution, codec, subtitle), I am now into the details.

    One of the thing that bugs me is that some of them have chapter times while others don't. I could just remove chapter data from them all, but I want to see if having them is a viable option.

    Last time, I had to download the same stuff uploaded by different people in order to extract the metadata. This works, but requires me to download more stuff (they're not small...).

    I was wondering if there's like an online library for pirated movie/TV series metadata like we do for subtitles.

    Thanks in advance!

    Broken UI

    Hi all, Reddit refugee here. Been mostly lurking around for now as I'm trying different setups. While mostly on mobile, this time I'm trying to open thru my laptop.

    I found this UI issue with my browser. I am running Falkon latest version (22.12). Such issue doesn't appear on my other setups (e.g. on mobile Firefox on the same system).

    I know it's somewhat obscure of an issue, but it would be great if we can have that sorted out. I am of tech background myself, so if someone can give me a lead, I may be able to pursue on my own.
