Opensource@programming.dev•AlpineBSD announced – an AI-free FOSS OS
0·8 days agoThis is a gold mine for LLM scrapers to have a source of human written code XD BSDs in general as their cuck license doesn’t even try to protect them
Android is kinda the only OS actually using SELinux and unix users for sandboxing user apps

Linux@programming.dev•Compared to All That's Out There, is KDE's Kate a Good Code Editor?
0·11 days agoThe thing is, Kate has LSPs, debugger integration, inline hints, compiler integration and warnings, projects and more.
The ecosystem is just not huge and it doesnt have full 3rd party extension support like VSCodium etc

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Soulseek downloads: typo for Linux?English
2·15 days agoI would never use their proprietary clients. And when looking for software for Linux, start on flathub.org
There are Nicotine+ multiplatform and Seeker for Android.
Soulseek is entirely proprietary and scary insecure. Check the Nicotine+ documentation for an overview. They do not mention encryption or TLS anywhere, which tells us that there is no encryption. Anyone relaying or passively monitoring your internet traffic will know your username, password and what you share.
This is seriously scary as even with user accounts, known contacts etc, you basically can’t trust anyone to actually be who they pretend to be. In practice it works, but that is likely because nobody cares to attack them.
The server is proprietary running whatever software and can access all your data.
And the best, they use MD5 hashes for the files afaik, which is broken. This is pretty unimportant but still interesting: the files you download are sent over an unencrypted connection and could be modified by a man-in-the-middle without you noticing. One could change the file or hide malware inside it that exploits a vulnerability etc.
Most importantly, this will just be open traffic that will be exposed to anyone who cares. You shouldnt use that IP to do ANYTHING else.
Sadly Soulseek is really good for finding stuff, still very much unbeaten.
There is aMule, recently revived. Many servers and also the decentralized Kademlia network. The UX is way worse than Soulseek, there is no Android version, the revival is heavily driven by AI… but it is pretty good, decentralized and encrypted!
I found this repo with tips for setting up aMule and some scripts.

Linux@programming.dev•will Kubuntu ever be considered the default over Ubuntu?
0·16 days agoUbuntu still has compatibility for stuff that others dont.
Mostly custom images with weird patched vendor kernels like for ARM or RISC-V, but they also ship the snapdragon images.
On the Asahi front, the hackers chose Arch and Fedora so that was a loss for them
Yeah it exists since forever and is way smaller than JPG
It also has animations and transparency, you know, useful things…
Compatibility is crazy, these better formats exist since sooo long
Jxl will be cool too, but take some time for adoption

Privacy@programming.dev•Proton To ‘Re-Interview’ Staff About AI To See Who Gets To Keep Their Job
42·16 days agoThis is so vague we dont even know if it’s a good thing
Sadly this is bot protection. Shitty stuff like websites being behind cloudflare or other captchas, being unreadable without javascript or this stuff are all results of AI scrapers

Linux@programming.dev•KDE Plasma 6.9 Stabilizes KWin's Wayland Picture-In-Picture Support
0·18 days agoHow to get this working now
(As multiple people didnt know that this already works)
PiP works and the windows can stay on top, but they don’t by default, they need a kwin rule.
Search for that settings page in the menu and add a rule
- class unimportant
- window types all
- window title exactly "Picture-in-Picture
- force put window to foreground
The UI is weird because there is no clear distinction between conditions and actions, but it works, this one might be specific to Firefox based browsers though.


Yeah right? Most ethical would be AGPLv3 but that would still be incorrect. But the most copyleft open source license shouldnt break any whose code was stolen, apart from attribution
