@emsenn I wish Mozilla didn’t enable Pocket extension by default, or at least it could be disabled like other extensions. You may already know, but the extension can be disabledhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-re-enable-pocket-for-firefox#w_disable-pocket-for-firefox

http://blog.mecheye.net/2012/06/the-linux-graphics-stack/ is a great high-level summary of GNU/Linux graphics, things like DRM, X11, Mesa, etc.

It is sad that so much information on free software is stored in blog posts rather than documentation sites. Maybe this should be a lesson for me to not be so obsessed with reading "official documentation."

@bleakgrey Maybe this is a good time to bump https://github.com/bleakgrey/tootle/pull/69 ? 🙃

@bugaevcThe link has “%E2%80%8B” and gives a 404 for me. If it happens to someone else, this should work: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/wio

@PhotonQyv If I understand correctly, yes. At least in the case of Tootle, the CSS file is added as a GResource (https://github.com/bleakgrey/tootle/blob/09119b4584427d47bf60d39263bcfe121d9d3a92/data/com.github.bleakgrey.tootle.gresource.xml#L4) and GResource documentation tells that “during the build the files are combined into a binary bundle that is linked into the executable” (https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GResource.html#GResource.description).

@KopfKrieg @LPS @tom79 Maybe something with the proposed fediverse logo?

@grainloom That sounds like a discussion that will _stretch_ over a long time.

@sir One of the major features of Flatpak is using container technology to make sure no matter the distro, the package is running in the same environment as the developer's machine, so there is no need to "tune for the environment."For the anti-feature point, if you have problems with the source, you should fork it, not pretend you are distributing the app while in reality you are distributing something else.

@sir spoken like a person who does not have a real answerSeriously, I don't maintain any apps. Even if your reply was in good faith, it is incorrect.Second, it was clear in my first reply: just fork it. It will "hold me accountable." Who is not accountable is the maintainer who changes the code while not changing the brand. The one who should be accountable for the resulting errors is the maintainer but often the user does not know because the downstream is using the upstream's brand.

@grainloom I know it has been a long time but I didn't have a chance to look to Nix/Guix documentation until today. I wrote something with my limited understanding of Nix/Guix (and actually Flatpak too) that may be useful to compare:https://gist.github.com/cagatay-y/8f0e17e5b8fdb35c98287ffccfc1b870

@grainloom Can Guix do sandboxing? If not, I think that would be an important advantage.For conflicting versions, reproducable builds and tooling (if you mean the environment part) I think they are equal.

@grainloom Oh, I should have been more clear, I meant things like limiting access to filesystem, network, X11, etc. The app manifest declares which permissions are given by default and it can also be overriden by the user. Flathub checks the permissions in the manifests for submitted apps. Some of this could also be done with Docker but since Flatpak is focused on desktop apps, it is simplified. There is also work to expose permissions in settings apps so the user can control in an easier way.
