Where are you getting GPS from? Grandparent commenter talked about bluetooth beacons and parent suggested reading the docs. The contact tracing APIs very deliberately avoided GPS f…

Just curious, has suspend (to RAM) been working for you? For me the nvidia driver just keeps waking up the system instantly - but my setup is deviating from the upstream flake in a…

Yes, this had been temporarily permitted until recently, and AFAIK they continue doing so illegally at the moment.

For context, this refers to "Chat Control 1.0", allowing facebook and other messaging providers to scan chats for harmful content (which they had been temporarily allowed to do by …

See https://asahilinux.org/2024/01/fedora-asahi-new/#speakers The effect is understated there, perhaps because Apple speakers are actually somewhat usable without this feature. For…

Unlikely. I've been daily-driving the predecessor (X13s). While it's usable and technically all drivers are there, it's far from "without pain" due to endless number of small but a…

This seems to be mainly brought up by people concerned they'd lose banking apps than people who actually have issues. It's rooted phones that often get blocked, whereas those that …

> Is there some special feature I'm missing? I would only call it a marginal improvement. If that. I fail to see what the big deal is. Among the "GPU rendered terminal" options, af…

With Dioxus, program logic compiles to native code instead of running it through a JS engine, and it ships its own HTML renderer (Blitz) instead of bundling a whole browser. So it'…

(for context, you're replying to the author of an alternative nix input pinning mechanism, which means... they're probably aware of all that and yet they chose their wording like t…

They are hiring specifically for that: https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonDrive/comments/1spx14d/proton...

Nothing public yet, but this is the Nix output for taking the screenshot, to be executed via `nix run .#screenshot`: outputs.apps.x86_64.screenshot = { type = "app"; program = toSt…

Most people don't realize that the Asahi team ship features only once they work without quirks. For the set of supported hardware features, Asahi is much closer to a macOS experien…

+1 for this approach. For a mobile app, I made Nix spawn an ephemeral Android emulator instance for generating up-to-date screenshots, requiring no prior setup and leaving no linge…

Quite the contrary, actually: not using a browser extension makes you much more susceptible to phishing attacks, since your password manager won't be able to protect you from copy-…

Just injecting this here: What I've been missing is an equivalent for GitHub's "blame prior revision" feature to quickly follow through the history of individual source lines. http…

tl;dr for opt-out as per https://cli.github.com/telemetry#how-to-opt-out (any of these work individually): export GH_TELEMETRY=false export DO_NOT_TRACK=true gh config set telemetr…

The article is specifically not referring to information that's sent to Apple servers - it's about information on the phone only, accessible through forensics tools with physical d…

> If some provider like Proton states they are pricacy-focused and protect your data from governments, but can still offer loads of your private data when ordered to, that damages …

If you create an account, it may be worth looking into "starter packs", which are lists of accounts around specific topics to follow. That's an easy solution if you run into the "I…

Claude has a sandbox mode that uses bubblewrap to build a lightweight filesystem sandbox that only exposes the project directory: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sandboxing It's di…

> NixOS is very impressive but the marketing around it feels misleading. The reproducible claim needs a giant asterisk due to link rot. It's a valid concern, though perhaps worth m…
