Dazu kommt eine bisher nie dagewesene Aktion zur EM, bei der Fußball-Fans zum Pauschalpreis von 29,90 ein ICE-Ticket quer durch Deutschland zum EM-Stadion buchen können. So möchte die Bahn möglichst viele Fußball-Fans zur klimafreundlichen Anreise mit der Bahn bewegen.

Wtf Deutschland? Wtf?

Fußballfans dürfen billiger fahren ~~und stattdessen müssen alle mehr zahlen?~~ nein die Reservierung kostet nix, nur für Leute mit Abos.

Oder ist die Reservierung dann vielleicht sogar kostenlos?

EDIT: ja ist sie, aber Leute mit Pauschaltickets müssen extra reservieren, was die Tickets sinnlos macht

Kenne da so einen Konkurrenzbetrieb mit normalen Preisen.

Btw get Mull from the DivestOS repo, the F-Droid version has veeery slow updates and less.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 4 months ago

I am pretty happy with GrapheneOS. Things like separate toggles for internet, or long powerbutton press foe torch are missing.

But you cannot imagine how much effort it is to maintain such a project, and their base is stable, the updates are damn fast.

First stability and security, then features.

Their core OS is minimal on purpose. I use the phone, vanadium (hardened chromium, with JIT toggle, now with adblock, completely degoogled), their attestation app, etc.

Most of the other stuff are random FOSS projects, I dont even use sandboxed play, but if I wanted to I could create a separate user profile and install it just in there.

DivestOS is doing sandboxed microG which is way more secure than unsandboxed, but still tons of effort and will break a lot.

Interesting. What are the App IDs of those both apps?

If they base on Chromite that is probably fine.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 4 months ago

Yes I know, and I want to try DivestOS one time. But they do incomplete patches.

They cannot update the kernel themselves or even worse the firmware. The kernel needs to be built and patched for the specific hardware, GrapheneOS relies completely on Google here. And the firmware needs to be signed by the vendors, so no chance either.

And especially baseband, cellular stuff has extremely many vulnerabilities in the code.

I mean I already reported 2 issues, but it still works. I can use it without big problems, I use the beta Flatpak (as explained in my flatpak remotes list).

Using Wayland too, Idk about any problems but if it wouldnt work I would just disable Wayland for the Flatpak and the app automatically runs through XWayland

Dont use "stable" software people.

Gimp 3 is already very nice! Use it exclusively.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I think 3a is already too old. I think 4a is a better minimum, but this is still insecure of course.

All Android phones have Google malware installed by default, as system apps, which means those apps can do whatever they want.

So every piece of data you put on there is possibly tracked and collected.

Then there are 2 more problems

  • the software is proprietary and cannot be externally wiped clean
  • the software is outdated

This makes it vulnerable to Pegasus attacks and others. There are tons of secure practices to avoid getting it, like LTE-only, HTTPS only, encrypted and trustworthy DNS, sandboxed processes, blocked javascript execution from unknown websites...

But still if the phone is outdated there are unpatched and publicly known security issues. Just spamming them at all phones is likely to succeed as so many people run vulnerable versions, as vendors suck.

Then if you have pegasus, the only way for security is to reflash the A/B partitions, both. Factory reset is not secure as it will keep what is already in the system partitions.

The firmware is protected and signed by the vendors, so it is likely clean.

But Pegasus installs itself to the phone storage.

If you A cant obtain factory images or B cant flash the phone at all, you cannot wipe it clean.

So a good activism phone needs

  • trustworthy and minimal system apps / stock software
  • modern software updates
  • possible to reflash whole device externally
  • nice to have: ability to verify checksum of system partition, like GrapheneOS Attestation

This makes them poorly pretty expensive. I think a slightly outdated GrapheneOS phone is okay though.

 

Podcini is really great! It modernizes the Antennapod codebase (we wouldnt believe but that is pretty outdated!) and makes it more efficient.

Differing from the forked project, this project is purely Kotlin based, relies on the most recent dependencies, and most importantly has migrated the media player to androidx.media3, and added mechanism of AudioOffloadMode which is supposed to be kind to device battery. Efficiencies are also sought on running the app. App build is also upgraded to target Android 14.

After some hiccups at the beginning, it is now in a very good state!

 

Fedora will ship Plasma 6 with version 40.

As a prerelease, you can easily test it by rebasing an Atomic Desktop install to "Kinoite prerelease".

Now that 40 is branched, you may want to rebase to 40 instead of rawhide, which is already on Fedora 41.

Here I show the needed commands.

Fedora Kinoite 40 is perfectly usable for me!

Imagine I get hardware without TPM or something, that is not supported by Win11.

I will not run an EOL Win10 as the machine needs to be connected to the internet. Tbh isolating stuff in a VM could be an idea but I dont know.

Its not for me but a noob with 0 tech knowledge, that says all...

How stable are the available hardware check bypasses? Is Micro$ already starting to aggressively block those?

I would not want to buy a PC to find out Win11 doesnt boot anymore in a few months...

Thanks!

I am thinking about using my GrapheneOS Pixel6a as a desktop. Not really tbh, but in emergencies and if Collabora Office etc work well, why not?

I would like to experiment.

What I need:

  • USB-A mouse
  • USB-A keyboard
  • USB-A thumbdrive (at least one)
  • HDMI/DP monitor port (I use VGA but with an HDMI adapter)
  • maybe AUX

So nothing fancy, but it should not cost damn 100€ or be cheap chinesium.

I am from the EU, which is really important too, so no Walmart or Target or whatever (the electronic shops we have are horrible).

Thanks!


It seems like a "USB hub" is what I am looking for. Matching manifacturers:

  • Anker
  • ...
 
 

Okay this is an AOSP feature, see first comment

The problem is that Google decided to do stupid stuff without user consent again

  • dark mode can't be turned off on energysaver (which doesnt make any sense non non-OLED displays which are still common)
  • energysaver reduces possible max brightness without any reason, not even changeable like in older Androids (where the bar actually went down)

Fuck Google...

 

A little admiration of how easy UI customization is on Firefox, and how shitty Chromium looks.

I am looking for an app that allows me to combine up to 20 images into a grid. That's it.

Hard requirements:

  • not bigger than 60MB (not bloated with useless stickers etc.)
  • works properly, multiple grids, maybe adaptive to content, rectangle, resizable images inside the grid.

Soft requirements:

  • no ads or creepy network stuff (GrapheneOS network toggle deals with that)
  • latest target SDK
  • support for share dialog OR android photo picker portal (instead of using their own filepicker and needing storage access)
  • FOSS

So far I tried these apps, all garbage:

All have their own silly galleries and have a nonfunctional share portal.

Explanation: Apps dont need access to your storage to load content into their internal sandbox storage.

They can use the native android photo picker portal:

GIF (click if not playing)

gif

Or they can catch media sent to them via the share dialog, from your trusted Gallery or Filemanager app.

Apps using a builtin Gallery suck, as they need access to all media (Android 14), specific folders (GrapheneOS) or even all storage (older Android) which is pretty invasive.

And yeah, Signal is still doing that.

 

This is a small Tutorial how to convert Konsole to never, I mean never, open a new window again.

I mean, we moved away from Windows for a reason, right?

Also, I will show you how to use a different shell and add custom right-click actions for various useful things.

screenshot

No new windows

Go to Konsoles Settings, the second checkbox is "open all konsole windows in a single process". Check this, as it is needed.

Now to edit the system desktop entry, never do this in place, copy it to your user directory, entries here always overwrite system ones. (This can be used to hide apps too, use touch ~/.local/share/applications/name.desktop)

cp /usr/share/applications/konsole.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/

Now edit this file with your editor.

Replace Exec=konsole with Exec=konsole --new-tab.

Profile: Different Shell

Bash is the default and I highly advise against using chsh if you want to use fish, zsh or others.

Instead, create a new Konsole profile, set its default command to for example /usr/bin/fish and set it as default profile!

Profile: Distrobox

If you use Distrobox, you may want a profile that launches it directly. The advantage is that you can color it differently and much more.

In the settings create a new profile and set the startup command to distrobox enter Boxname.

Mine is for Fedora, while my main system is Fedora Atomic KDE.

Custom right-click actions

You can remove unneeded translations from the desktop entry to make it easier to work with.

In the Actions= line you define what you want. Below the main entry you put the actions with name, icon and command.

Here I have examples for launching the Distrobox Profile, opening a root shell and opening a remote ssh session.

The complete desktop entry (click me to expand)

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
TryExec=konsole
Exec=konsole --new-tab
Icon=utilities-terminal
Categories=System;TerminalEmulator;
Actions=FedoraBox;root;ssh;
X-DocPath=konsole/index.html
X-DBUS-StartupType=Unique
X-KDE-AuthorizeAction=shell_access
X-KDE-Shortcuts=Ctrl+Alt+T
StartupWMClass=konsole
Keywords=terminal;console;script;run;execute;command;command-line;commandline;cli;bash;sh;shell;zsh;cmd;command prompt
Name=Konsole
GenericName=Terminal
Comment="$GenericName"

[Desktop Action FedoraBox]
Name=Distrobox
Icon=fedora-logo-icon
Exec=konsole --new-tab --profile FedoraBox # this launches "distrobox enter FedoraBox"

[Desktop Action root]
Name=root Terminal
Icon=folder-root-symbolic
Exec=konsole --new-tab -e pkexec $SHELL #or define a shell like fish

[Desktop Action ssh]
Name=ssh to X
Icon=folder-remote-symbolic
Exec=konsole --new-tab -e ssh user@IP:PORT -i /path/to/key

Note that I removed the actions for "new tab" and "new window". For some reason Plasma shows the "open new window" always, and due to the replacement this opens a new tab instead.

Ctrl+Alt+t, opening from Dolphin and more will also open a new tab.

Btw, if somebody can help me figure out how to focus the Konsole window when opening a new tab, that would be nice. This is currently missing

 

Appimages totally suck, because many developers think they were a real packaging format and support them exclusively.

Their use case is tiny, and in 99% of cases Flatpak is just better.

I could not find a single post or article about all the problems they have, so I wrote this.

This is not about shaming open source contributors. But Appimages are obviously broken, pretty badly maintained, while organizations/companies like Balena, Nextcloud etc. don't seem to get that.

 

I agree with @BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online a lot here.

I think a color scheme solves a lot, but the color gradients etc. are still gone.

What is your favourite non-white light theme, best for Plasma 6?

Please add a screenshot!
