Finding gems in the world of FOSS can be a difficult task if you don't know what you're looking for. However, I can easily say that my top three are Antimine, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, and Minetest.

Antimine is your typical minesweeper game but it's really well-produced and customizable. I hadn't really played minesweeper much before Antimine, but I find myself picking up Antimine pretty often.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is an awesome roguelike that proves rather challenging. The more you play it the better you become, and sometimes you'll get some really great RNG and it just feels awesome.

Minetest on it's own isn't much of a game as much as it is a 3D block-game creation engine. It's more or less the bones that make up a FOSS Minecraft, and with projects such as Voxelibre, it is a really fantastic Minecraft alternative!

What games do y'all play from F-Droid? Feel free to mention things that come from other repos than the ones that come with F-Droid out of the box!

"All YubiKeys running firmware prior to version 5.7—which was released in May and replaces the Infineon cryptolibrary with a custom one—are vulnerable."

I suppose I decided to start using hardware keys at the right time, I just got three 5C NFC keys and a 5C Nano this week and they're all on the newer firmware.

I'm not surprised to see Jacob Collier and Snarky Puppy in the same playlist, but also with Sammy Rae and That Handsome Devil? That's a killer playlist, even if it's only for the meme.

Right as they have begun rolling out Copilot... It's a dystopian world we are about to be a part of, if you don't already think we're living in it now. Viva la Linux!

I'm not sure why but for some reason I thought this was Minecraft for a moment.

For a moment I thought this was a ham radio sub, not Lemmy Shitposting lmao

I love Librewolf too, and if you're looking to explore other options I do recommend giving the Mullvad Browser a go. It's another firefox fork but I believe it handles fingerprinting in a better manner. Similarly, it comes with uBlock Origin built in but also NoScript. I'd likely use it as my primary browser but I don't really care for NoScript and removing the extension would ultimately defeat the fingerprint resistance of Mullvad.

I don't think there's any sense in overlooking flaws just because something is overall better. Firefox is the massively better choice if the goal is to avoid data collection. However, I don't think that means it's fair to let things slide so easily. A community that calls out its developers when they make a mistake can ultimately improve things, and prevents devs from saying "they won't understand and they won't care." Firefox isn't a total angel when it comes to data collection, I mean telemetry being opt-out instead of opt-in is a pretty big boon, even if it's not as bad as it is in other browsers. I'm not sure what agenda you believe is being pushed here, I never once suggested folks jump ship from Firefox to Chrome.

Y'all can downvote this person but they aren't necessarily wrong. Unfortunately, it seems you have to pick the poison you know in the browser space or take a risk with something else. And something else is usually just one of those original poisons wearing a different label. That said, there are some projects that tend to be of better form than others. Consider the Mullvad Browser and Librewolf. Those two are built on Firefox but are "fixed" enough to mitigate the crap Firefox has done. For Android, I believe Mull browser is the best one can get right now, it's like a mobile Arkenfox.

I read through this and I'm not entirely certain I understand. I do know people that bury themselves in dozens of tabs, with s bookmarks toolbar that just confuses the heck out of me each time it's there. Still, I feel like a lot of organization (or lack thereof) falls on the user. However, with the right information management skills, I feel like most people don't ever need more than four tabs open at one time.

Shaking my mouse "Haha this is so cool, look at it get bigger!" Continues shaking until the cursor takes up a quarter of my screen "Dear God what have I done."

That's dystopian as hell

 

Hey there folks,

I'm trying to figure out how to configure my UFW, and I'm just not sure where to start. What can I do to see the intetnet traffic from individual apps so I can know what I might want to block? This is just my personal computer and I'm a total newbie to configuring firewalls so I'm just not sure how to go about it. Most online guides seem to assume one already knows what they want to block but I don't even know how/where to monitor local traffic to figure out what I can/should consider blocking.

 

Hey there folks! I recently made the switch to Linux and I really want to do some editing using DaVinci Resolve. My computer is running an intel i7 7th Gen with no dedicated GPU. I used this tutorial to get through the initial installation but now the app just crashes warning "Unsupported GPU Processing Mode," advising me to "Please review the GPU drivers and GPU configuration under preferences." This is what I see when I go to that menu. Any idea what I need to do to make DaVinci recognize the integrated GPU?

Hey there, folks! I'm about to do my first Linux install and I'm trying to figure out which DE I wanna use. I'm not concerned about how analogous the DE is to any other OS because I'm willing to learn and develop a new workflow. From a performance and overall compatibility perspective, does either GNOME or KDE outshine over the other for this? This is specifically considering the latest non-beta/stable versions of each. Does the Anaconda installer work in the KDE spin of Fedora, or is the install process different altogether? I know Fedora's default is GNOME, does this make for any less stability with KDE?

Edit: I appreciate all of your comments, thank you for taking the time to write them! Initially I was really interested in GNOME for its minimalist design, but it seems KDE can be altered for a similar form without needing to rely much on third party pieces because of how much is already built into it. Although I'm certain the GNOME DE is a really nice one, I think I'm gonna give it a go with KDE simply because it has three customizability already out-of-the-box and it seems to be slightly lighter weight. Of course, there's no reason to ever settle and it's likely I'll try GNOME at some point instead. Thank you! :)

 

More pictures in comments. This picture is Olight S1R Baton II (left) vs Rovyvon A23 (right). The Rovyvon uses a Nichia 219C emitter in cool white (about 5700K iirc).)

It's the same complaint you hear time and time again, emitters with awful tint and CRI. When I was still new all I cared about was Olight, so I've amassed a pretty significant collection. It was only when I first tried a Hank light with Nichia 519A emitters that I finally understood why tint and CRI matters.

Also, now that I've learned the Anduril 2 UI every other light just feels limiting.
