  • Ubuntu's Mozillateam PPA now forcing users over to snap install for Firefox.

  • Flatpaks can guarantee you have a known-good dependency chain directly tested by the developers/maintainers themselves

    What does known-good mean? What if a security vulnerability is found in one of the dependencies. With an old-style distribution there is a security team that monitors security reports and they will provide a fixed package. With flatpaks it's not clear to me if those developers will monitor each dependency for security vulnerabilities and how they will handle that. Will users even be informed about a security issue, will a fix be backported or will it only be available in the latest version?

  • [RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege

  • You can sue anyone for anything, but no one is advertising any guaranteed speeds for mobile broadband, so your chances will be fairly limited. Best you can do is withdrawing from your contract.

  • [DISCUSS] Pros/cons of videos for technical documentation?

    Jump

  • If it's a YouTube video, it probably has been made to monetise, not to share tech material. So I usually avoid YouTube, because most of the time it's not worth it.

  • If you really think about it, caps on mobile data are also fairly stupid

    Mobile is a shared medium and can only support a certain amount of bandwidth per phone mast (in a certain area). A mobile phone network heavily relies on most users not using their data plans most of the time.

  • And depending where you live that might or might not work out well for you. If too many people in your neighbourhood use too much mobile data at the same time as you, speeds will decrease and unlimited data plans in particular will be throttled.

  • Are there any advantages of using Rust instead of C in the Linux kernel?

  • That link appears to be for a Windows driver.

  • The description says:

    In this video, we'll do a deep dive on what C++ Polymorphism is, what "virtual" does under the hood, and ultimately why it is SUCH a performance hit compared to languages like C and Rust.

    This is not about compile-time polymorphism.

  • "they put ads in the terminal" isn't really accurate.

    Their "ubuntu-advantage-tools" adds information to one of their other products to the output of apt. You can easily get rid of that by uninstalling/replacing "ubuntu-advantage-tools". It's definitely not like they are selling ad space in your terminal to third parties.

  • Sure, but what about your chromium builds? (as mentioned in my post, replacing the firefox snap with a firefox deb is easy enough on Ubuntu, chromium is the more difficult one to deal with)
