You use Youtube and GMail.... I can recommend NoScript and "temporary container" to keep things isolated.

The containers persist until you close the tab. Or use containers manually for Google stuff.

Fedora Kinoite, get a Breeze of the future!

I use celluloid flatpak which has native wayland and pipewire support. Its an MPV GUI.

But browsers should be installed as an RPM, because Flatpak uses the same seccomp filter for all apps. That isnt even really secure, but prevents browsers from spawning user namespace sandboxes. Which means they have very little process isolation.

It is strange for sure. I agree.

This should be an easy fix. The initial position of the cursor is defined in the apps to my knowledge.

Please report a bug for this component on KDE Bugzilla:

Bugs.kde.org

You should be able to find the component.

This is big scale capitalism, not free market.

Capitalism is the key problem.

A free market is probably necessary. With a system where everyone has enough to live well, affordable healthcare, equal treatment etc.

A free market ensures a lot of quality standards.

But it is not only competition, improvements and "getting the best, the best way".

It is "making & selling something that people buy, the cheap way". This principle is fundamentally flawed, as environmental protection doesnt pay, and there is no real reason for companies to be good for the enviroment. Like, actually being good.

You can also argue that products enshittified over time (glued together laptops, unnecessarily weak drinking glasses, "IOT-ifying" everything, cheap clothes, throwaway razors, cheap food,...) because there is no value in making good products in a free market, if people get f**ing brainwashed and dont buy stuff based on their value over time.

And equally it is even worse with the environment. As there is no value in protecting the environment, nobody does it. Now laws force companies to list all important data, and this gets converted into some indirect form of money. But not nearly as transparently and freely as a free market. You may get fees or not, you may save some "carbon credits" but these are horrendously underpriced and can be bought with neocolonial freakshows like forcing people out of their own land, to "protect it", as if it would have been destroyed before.

And the main flaw is that there is no big reason to not fake these values. Or not just write down what you already do, and keep it at this. Or do more than needed.

And to the topic, a free market has no stop sign. Companies naturally grow bigger and bigger, get more and more efficient, critical for whole societies that rely on working for them, and thus they are inherently not "neutral possibilities in a free world".

This always leads to huge mega-giants having influence on people, politics etc.

And this leads us to the situation we are currently in. Companies abusing license and patent laws, to cripple the system that even made them possible.

I have no idea why the US is so f**cked up in this graph, but believe me Germany is also horrible.

Trickle down economics does work in a way that ensures basic healthcare for all germans. But meanwhile these damn germans produce a SH**LOAD of stuff.

I have no numbers but it is insane how much utter garbage we produce. And from this endless, insane stream of trash, we always scoop off enough profit to make the 1% even more ugly rich, and keep the said basic human rights intact.

This may work, but it is soooo far from sufficiency.

I really liked the latest video of "Second Thought", about the american dream and capitalisms natural path to fascism

Very true. I am also very critical of any form of "stable packages". Firefox ESR the LTS kernel are the only exception but if SteamOS doesnt use the LTS kernel then wtf are they doing?

I honestly dont care about gaming :D I waste way too much time away from touching grass anyways.

But I hope they backport all security fixes anyways, as the SteamDeck is now one of the most predictable Linux botnet-targets out there.

there are always uBlue images like Bazzite, Bluefin, and Aurora that fix that.

Yes I know and use uBlue since basically it came out :D awesome project

But I specifically mean the packaging delays. There are sometimes sync issues with drivers, like this recent one with no free stuff that is used alongside the normal stuff.

And with Cisco-openh264 they cant to anything, Cisco ships the packages which is legally binding, and there are issues sometimes.

But Fedora is doing a great job, and the fact that rpmfusion exists alone is pretty hillarious. These are obviously Fedora people maintaining the stuff in secret, in a country where patent laws are not enforced (but are also in place afaik).

It's actually improved my experience on my laptop significantly

I guess so too? I dont know, Fedora Kinoite (whatever small derivative, currently ublue kinoite-main, soon aurora) works just really well.

You are at the bleeding edge, but I often find bugs that are simply there and need to be fixed. Once KDE Plasma 6 is on some LTS release like CentOS Stream, I may think about switching.

But until then, Fedora is just really good.

Nice, thanks for the info!

Yes but I mean Steam may test many games with this specific setup. Fedora is a way better base in general, if you leave out the issues with external repos (mainly openh264, rpmfusion is maintained by fedora people, 100%)

True, interesting.

I use "dark background and light text" where this doesnt appear

This is not about mint but random proprietary NVIDIA drivers not working with Wayland.

I dont know if ublue offers any X11 images now that F40 removed the X11 packages by default.

You dont need to distrohop, you need a Bazzite image with X11 support. This is mostly unsupported legacy cruft and mostly NVIDIAs fault.

Here is the podcast URL

Lol guys I find this interesting, they made videos that long ago, so much progress. Brodies Podcast was pretty useless short before that, now nearly every episode is really interesting.

AND both Wayland promoters just didnt use it back then.
