New Terms for Firefox from Mozilla in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Zenlix@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I hate that they had "never will" in there. Seems like a broken promise.

Apparently mozilla wants the right to get data from firefox users. But not like general information, they want to know what data you upload or download through firefox.

Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox, for example.

What the fuck? I use firefox because I want privacy!!! Not sharing my information with a company.

We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. WHY DO YOU NEED MY DATA TO MAKE FIREFOX WORK???

Discord notification Icon bugfix (lemm.ee)
 

For some time I missed the notification icon of discord. I mean the little number in the taskbar icon that appears, when you get a message.

Today I found a fix for it in the archwiki.

You need to have libunity version packaged for your distro installed. For me on debian it was libunity9. After installing it, you get the notification icon again!

Big released bevy games in c/rust@lemmy.ml
[–] Zenlix@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

As far as I skimmed the text they used bevy for their prototype not for the release or at least not as a whole.

Are there some big projects/games that are released and made in bevy?

A lot of times tiny glade is mentioned, but I can not find a reliable source from the devs that it is made in bevy.

Worth using distrobox? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Zenlix@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. The idea of random stuff nesting into my pc where I will never find it again is also a big pain. That said using distroboy would make it much cleaner I guess.

Worth using distrobox? (lemm.ee)
 

I am thinking about using distrobox. Since I am on debian I wont need it to install software I could otherwise not install. But I have some apps that require weired install scripts and I am thinking about using it as a security measurement. Do you think that is a good idea? Does that idea makes sense?

Hacked pipelines defaced Microsoft's WSL repository with pro-Palestine messages in c/technology@lemmy.world

How can such thing happen? Was an account hacked that had the permissions?

It seems that you are not aware in what format you installed your apps.

Before you install an app, be aware what format it is, that you are installing. Is it a debian package installed via the apt cli or via some store gui? Is it a snap package? Is it an appimage? Is it a flatpak? All of these are different and can have different issues (advantages/disadvantages). Often the same app is available in multiple formats.

This is a great video explaining what formats are out there: https://youtu.be/1lLZ-59xH3Y

A have never used mint and only used debian as a Workstation. If there is a permissions issue with an application, my first thought is how you installed you application?

When you say, you cant easily get tonthe content of a drive, what Desktop Environment do you us3 and what file explorer?

How to find project names? (lemm.ee)
 

I am currently searching for a name that I can use for a software project. Id like to have a short one that has no real meaning associated with it. I already asked some ai's. All names that I found sound terrible or have some meaning attached to it. . Like the name is already used for some medication or so.

How do you guys come up with names?

Iced (GUI Crate) is getting default animation support in c/rust@lemmy.ml
[–] Zenlix@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I just found this. This is somewhat the fluent style for iced. Since cosmic uses iced that style is available as well.

When it comes to additional widgets, there are additional widgets in the iced_aw crate.

  1. I dont realy understand what you mean by tabbed controls. If you mean keyboard navigation, that is directly ahead on the roadmap.
  2. Take a look at the macros the iced::widget module provides. This is pretty much a declarative ui definition.
  3. In the last version update a new styling system was introduced. It is way simpler then the old approach. I am sure you can create a custom theme that looks pretty much like win10/11.

Iced (GUI Crate) is getting default animation support (lemm.ee)
 

Iced, a popular GUI Crate, used by system76 for their new DE, is getting default animation support in the development branch. The animations are based on the lilt crate. As far as I know the only missing part that needs to be done is, adding animations to the default widgets.

I assume in the next release it will be shipped with animation support.

I am so happy that this is coming and look forward to see animations in my gui applications.

Discord Update that enables Streaming on Wayland in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Switching Windows never works for me. When the audio does not work, I can always fix it by double toggeling the audio button/checkbox.

Why?

Why do you consider discord as spyware?

Discord Update that enables Streaming on Wayland (lemm.ee)
 

A few weeks a go discord on linux had an update that enabled you to do screensharing on wayland even with audio.

There are a few bugs. For example, you can not change the window and sometimes have to reactivate the audio check box to have the audio work. Sadly the flatpak could not shit that update, because the chromium version shipped has to major bugs in flatpaks (issue).

But the stable .deb has now working screen sharing with audio. That is something that x11 does not have.

That is super cool. Can we might simulate it in a virtual environment? If so, would that be the first matrix like virtual world?
