Regarding android version, I think @boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net already gave a good hint. Currently f-droid version 1.21.0 supports android 6.0+.

According to f-droid basic URL:

NOTE: The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set (e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature). It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged extension or root.

I don't see the target version varying between them, I found both to be 1.21.0 on Android (I have enabled unstable updates), and both indicate they support android 6.0+. So if you have LOS or plain android on a version 6.0 or beyond, f-droid should be able to install and work on them.

I use F-Droid since it comes pre-installed and with privileged extension set by default on LOS for MicroG, so I don't find it particularly appealing to install F-Droid basic instead, but if that were not the case, I'd go with F-Droid basic, given I don't set F-Droid to serve nearby devices on any phone, and I haven't ever thought of using the panic feature. I'm using LOS4uG 21, meaning android 14. with no issues, so perhaps 1.21.0 already target android 14, and not just android 13.

So I believe both, the basic and the not basic versions of F-Droid target the same version, and support the same versions, the difference is in basic with a couple of less features. But you can always take a look at the version, and there you can tap on the specific version to see what versions of android are supported.

Oh thanks !

This is all there is as of now:

pref("browser.contentblocking.category", "strict");
// enable APS
defaultPref("privacy.partition.always_partition_third_party_non_cookie_storage", true);
defaultPref("privacy.partition.always_partition_third_party_non_cookie_storage.exempt_sessionstorage", false);

Maybe that's everything required now a days given it became default. But there used to be more options...

Many thanks !

Arkenfox user.js, or derivative broswers like Librewolf on the desktop and Mull on android are there for a reason. Firefox default settings are not the safer, although it has all the knobs to make it a much better experience.

 

Is this total cookie protection something embedded, not requiring any user intervention? I know with librewolf we get the strict enhanced cookie protection mode, but I don't know if for this total protection there's something required, if not turned on by default...

Greetings !

There's as well !monero!monero@lemmy.ml which I guess halted in favor of !monero!monero@monero.town?

If this is the case, I'm wondering why not locking the community, writing a message in the community information to go to the actual active one (!monero!monero@monero.town)...

Just a minor suggestion. When looking for something different than what you're currently familiar with, do so in very open minded way, hopefully no looking for clones to what you were used to, but willing to experience and learn new stuff (there's no failure, just something new that had to be learned and experienced).

I know it's easier saying than doing...

Looking for advice on giant communities is sort of hard, and in the end you won't know what works better for you if you don't try it. The open mind needs to come with some time to be able to play, and enjoy during the play, so it's not a whole series of frustrations.

On this same forum (different threads/posts/converstions) I've read very different recommendations. Even though Manjaro has been recently getting a lot of bad reputation because of letting some certs expire, it's still considered an "introductory" gnu + linux distribution. I've also read Mint is a pretty good "introductory" gnu + linux distribution as well, specially now that ubuntu has finally shown its inclination towards its snap store, rather than the good and solid dpkg + apt, which allowed it to grow on users to where it's currently at.

I myself prefer rolling release models for distributions, and being as vanilla as possible, to be closer to upstream as possible. However I dislike systemd, which is just a personal taste, so I don't have a specific recommendation. It used to be Manjaro offered openrc, but they dropped it, and the distributions I know are Artix (it has gui installers if that's considered "introduction" level distribution, but one still need to handle the configuration mismatches with upgrades as with Arch), Gentoo (I wouldn't say it's not for starters, but for sure it has its learning curve, but more importantly you need to be aware that it's a source based distribution), and Void. If you don't really care, rolling release distributions, which might have an easy ramp up might be Manjaro as mentioned, and now I believe openSUSE Tumbleweed. maybe even fedora come close... Rolling release models might come even easier for newcomers, in my opinion, since there's no need to think on what happens on major updates, but rather one needs to keep updating periodically, but hopefully the distribution helps supporting the safest and saner configurations natively so the user, and particularly newcomer to the distribution don't have to deal a lot to get such safe and sane configurations, at least to start with. And that's to me the important part to call it "introductory" distribution, easy installation might be part of it, but it's hardly the majority of it, and this is perhaps the sad part of what I like about being as vanilla as possible, some distributions even take that as a mantra for configurations, and upstream developers don't always have the safer, or the saner configurations by default. I believe Manjaro and some others take that into account to make things smoother to start with. Maintaining the distribution, keeping it up to date, being able to install stuff, has it's learning curve, no matter the tools/frameworks to do so, and it might be harder if one has to deal with how to make things work because the software doesn't work as it should (configuration required upfront), and it's not hardened enough as well so the user needs to know that and do additional configuration upfront as well.

I'm missing emoji reactions (not replies), jeje

[–] kixik@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

For some time the alternative is freetube, though I don't like is electron, is what we can somehow reliably use

OK, there's a codeberg comment someone else shared, and based on that there's another of such comments from another issue, which sort of indicates an attempt to get back / reset current behavior, but I'm not sure if that one worked or not given the comments from the one who posted it...

Yes, it seems a mess, :(

[–] kixik@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

Sorry about that. I was not aware of other meanings. I'll try to remember to use the complete "software" word instead of its acronym I was used to since the 90s... Hopefully under the context what I wrote doesn't get misinterpreted. Thanks !

What was your setting that is getting overwritten? What I can see from librewolf settings are:

  • network.dns.disablePrefetch
  • network.dns.skipTRR-when-parental-control-enabled
  • doh-rollout.provider-list
  • network.trr.mode
  • network.trr.uri
 

Hello !

I'm wondering if there's some blogging mechanism which would allow some sort of unique digital signature (PGP perhaps) to prevent personification, but which allows non traceable and fully anonymous author. Not looking for blockchain like stuff (apart from the layer Monero adds, blockchains are totally transparent, traceable and non anonymous). Not looking for bigotry, attacking people or anything like that.

The idea is to be able to share ideas, even corporate related, without being afraid of retaliations whether at work, corporations or governments. Expressing something at pubic might bring unexpected consequences, particularly if not aligned by the corporation one works on if that's the case, or might provoke AI, bots, or paid/unpaid people looking around, to include anyone in a particular list, without even warning the writer about it.

So I was looking if such thing is possible, and if it exists. Social networks of course wouldn't be an option, they're not anonymous, and at contrary can be used to cross-reference and trace people.

If such solution doesn't exist, I'm wondering if something based on gnuNet might get close, although gnuNet is not meant to make users anonymous. Or perhaps something based on i2p.

Of course the digital signature should be used exclusively for the blog posting, and can't be associated to any real email, host, or whatever...

Feedback on the blog posts should also be allowed to anonymous people with their own unique digital signatures. But this is harder, since depending on the technology, not sure if moderation would be allowed, or even if it would make sense, in which case, no blog feedback should be allowed, though no feedback is really a down side for blog posts. Maybe allowing just the original post to remove feedback. Some other down side, but that's unavoidable, is the lack of non on thread feedback, meaning giving feedback through email or any other medium, since if that was available would make the writer non anonymous...

If such thing is not available, and eventually based on something like gnuNet or i2p, most probably clients would be needed to write blogs but another one that would offer some sort of RSS/atom functionality for the blog to be accessible from current RSS/atom readers.

Hello, !xmpp@lemmy.ml was locked by my mods, and continued on !xmpp@slrpnk.net which is entirely fine given federation, so I guessed I could follow it on the lemmy sort of synced space/community, !xmpp@slrpnk.net, where I can post to the slrpnk community without having an account there. But for some reason recent posts on slrpnk real xmpp community are not showing on !xmpp@slrpnk.net, like if they're not syncing anymore.

Any way to remediate it?

 

I believe the settings to disable this on Librewolf are set by default...

 

Anyone aware of a testing framework hopefully integrating well, and abstracting the shuttle testing functionality?

BTW I found rtest, but it doesn't in particular abstracts shuttle at all, it's a fixtures generic framework.

Planning to use shuttle to do MT testing targeting C binded code, and looking for a way to abstract as much as possible the shuttle scheduler trait and such...

Thanks !

Hello !

As Mint is based on Ubuntu, I’m wondering if it will follow the missteps (to me at least) Ubuntu is doing to demote *.deb packages in favor of snaps?

Well that based on Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently) post, and its lemmy.ml discussion.

From all ubuntu based distros, Mint seems not to follow those missteps, but I'm wondering if Rhino will do the same. Actually I don't like Rhino created a wrapper package manager which actually gets snap support as well as apt on the same bucket. But who knows, it might be they won't follow ubuntu on this.

Does anyone know?

My interest on Rhino comes from it being rolling release. But I don't want snap to become the source of common/important packages.

Thanks !

 

I started some time ago using a teddit frontend with local subscriptions, and at some point it was hard for the one I picked to keep up, then I moved to libreddit, at that time libredd.it, then it stopped working and moved to libreddit.spike.codes, but it seems it stopped working as well, and finally I moved to libreddit .mha.fi, but some time back there was too much rate limiting, making it unusable, and since yesterday it seems totally down, giving the error "502 Bad Gateway". I also have the libRedirect extension on Librewolf configure to choose among several libreddit instances (so when searching for something any is picked), and most of them seem out of service, or being rate limited as well.

So, are frontends for reddit finally coming to an end?

Edit: Indeed, it seems at least non self-hosted front-end instances are way rate limited or down
