Because it's a totally awesome and fun challenge? Read the details of the integration!

I used to program pure Xlib when I was 13 or so. I don't think the then-13-year-old me would manage pure Wayland.

Does anyone know of a precedent for this? I've never heard of a social (or other) network claiming to own account identifiers, then again I don't read their ToS with a magnifying glass either.

The combination of 'it just works' and 'SSO integration' is a killer. To be honest, in 20+ years of working in IT, I never understood the point of the latter until recently, on a gig salvaging systems for a client with ~

Yes, but that's just using the standard browser keybindings for keyboard navigation across links. I was thinking of <LEFT>, <RIGHT>, <ENTER> or something similarly "DOS-like".

Cute. Keyboard navigation doesn't work though, that'd be properly '80s.

> Windows certainly does not. Actually, scratch that, comments below suggest that WSL2 uses 9P for file sharing with the host, so it's possible that a version of Windows with the WSL2 bits installed will support 9P.

> Anyway, interesting idea. As another comment pointed out, I wish there was an easy way to mount NFS and 9p shares as a user. Add e.g. foo.bar.com:/path /net/foo.bar.com nfs to /etc/fstab with options=user ? &gt

This is awesome. NFS is very much undervalued as a cross-platform interface for talking to a (not necessarily remote) filesystem. ~20 years ago I was using SFS (Self-certifying file system), which was a SSH-like Internet-usable TOFU filesys

Err, nope. As I commented on TFA, and will gladly repeat here: Wow. Well put. The scariest thing is, this translates even to domain-specific apps such as Navionics Boating. I use it every time I go out, because, somehow, they've not ye

Yup, they even get firmware updates via LVFS/fwupd! The relative high-DPI-ness of the internal display in combination with worsening eyesight forced me to migrate from X11/openbox to Wayland/Plasma. That has mostly turned out

My most recent Linux laptop upgrade as of 10/2022 was: FROM a refurbished Panasonic Let's Note CF-SX3, Intel Core i5-4300U, ~2013 vintage, 8GB RAM, aftermarket Intel 400GB DC S3610 Series SSD, purchase price EUR ~1500 ex VAT plus

This, 200%. I have the same problem with my 87yo father, and no idea how to fix it. I've drawn up step by step instructions, labelled both the TV and set top box remotes and devices with icons, yet somehow he manages to press something

No it's not. Assuming the OP means something vaguely modern, it'll be a Thunderbolt dock that shares PCIe devices to the host. Try and work out the complexity of a PCIe device disappearing while you're "asleep" in y

The EU is not a 'trade bloc' (sic). In the grand scheme of things, Brexit and its consequences were much alike to what I imagine would happen were $STATE to leave the USA.

Here's an idea: Why not allow the owner of a Google account to delegate a trusted third party who can handle MFA/otherwise approve logins on their behalf. I kind of do this already by setting the recovery emails for family members

I beg to differ on this. Went to a presentation by the ChromeOS engineers who developed the Android support, at LinuxCon 2016(?) in Berlin. Everything shown there pointed to an explicit distrust of Android, their security posture was essent

Not the original poster, but I have a hard time imagining you'd be able to meaningfully maintain the OS and integrated software (e.g. Hub, supported TLS versions for mail, etc.) via "mods" of any kind. What _might_ be useful

AFAICT from the Internets, BB10 OS actually supports VoLTE, but there's no way to manually enable it. Given the support status of the devices no carrier will provision VoLTE on it for you these days either, so we're out of luck.

Which is your Twitter app? Now that m.twitter.com no longer works in the BB10 browser, I need one.
