Linux@lemmy.ml•Waterfox to integrate Brave adblock engine, with search ads enabled by default
1·4 days agoThat makes sense!

Linux@lemmy.ml•Waterfox to integrate Brave adblock engine, with search ads enabled by default
1·6 days agoThat sounds like exactly what I meant; where the GPL is viral on the project level, MPL is viral on the file level. So if code, under MPL, is added to a file, that whole code becomes MPL.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Waterfox to integrate Brave adblock engine, with search ads enabled by default
7·7 days agoAFAIK MPL is viral, but only at the file level. In other words, if you modify an MPL-licensed file, your modifications need to be MPL-licensed, but if you add additional files, those can be a different license.
(In practice, I suppose that that’s fairly weak?)

Linux@lemmy.ml•Why gpu acceleration suddenly stops working for flatpak apps?
3·7 days agoWait a minute, what is the Flatpak Nvidia package? Do you need that for GPU acceleration for Flatpak apps on Nvidia? How do you even know whether GPU acceleration is working?
(I recently got a new laptop and it’s the first time I have a dedicated GPU, and I have no idea how it all works. Sorry for hijacking your thread.)
Ah yes, so many classic songs in the genre! There’s 🇩🇪️ Scooter, 🇧🇪️ K3, 🇳🇱️ De jeugd van tegenwoordig, 🇫🇷️ Poisson Steve…

Linux@lemmy.ml•If I wanted to buy a Linux phone, what would be my best options today?
2·10 days agoThat would’ve been awesome if Lemmy had done that automatically, for lazy folks like me 😅️

Linux@lemmy.ml•If I wanted to buy a Linux phone, what would be my best options today?
4·11 days agoOh sorry, I was hoping Lemmy would just bring up a profile page. Theoretically that should be possible and would actually be an awesome Fediverse feature, but reality is a bitch 😅

2·11 days agoOh that’s a shame to hear.

Europe@feddit.org•Hungary’s Szijjártó admits he liaised with Moscow as EU discussed Russia sanctions | Politico.euEnglish
14·11 days ago“The government should prevent people from seeing this” is promoting censorship. Suggesting people ignore something is just a boycott.

27·11 days agoI don’t have a Linux phone myself, but from all I’ve read the Furilabs FLX1s is the most “Just works” Linux phone today that runs a community UI (Phosh+GNOME). Supposedly it runs Android apps well, and regular Flatpaks.
I think Jolla has a more custom software stack, but it also supposedly works well.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux kernel maintainer says Al has suddenly become useful for devs: 'We can't ignore this stuff. It's coming up, and it's getting better"
1·12 days agoOh sorry, that might have been projecting - it’s what I want to believe.

22·12 days agoThat’s true. If they’re not, though, or if they’re easy to generate yourself, then you are kinda forced to pay attention though, if you care about the security of your project.
I don’t have the expertise or experience to say whether that is true. But GregKH seems to think so, and other prolific projects seem to be coming to the same conclusions.
I get that it’s attractive to think that AI isn’t capable of it. But it’s important that what you believe to be true is, and stays, based on reality rather than on what I wish is true. And it’s especially important to be wary of when you really want something to be true.

Firefox@lemmy.world•Quick post about AI-free FireFox Based Browsers (Keep your Addons and avoid the Bloat)
4·15 days agoJust toggle “Block AI enhancements” in the Firefox settings - way easier than a plugin, and safer too (not potentially dodgy third party).
Can you quote the exact line that you interpret as saying that it’s available to everyone? Because again, I don’t see it. The title I see is “A free VPN you can trust, now built into Firefox”, i.e. with no mention of “everyone”.
Usually, they just say it’s rolling out, because some people will be getting it (i.e. they can’t say nothing), but they don’t know when everybody will yet, because that depends on how well the rollout to the first people goes.

Europe@feddit.org•The Conservatives are trying to force a vote against the vote against indiscriminate scanningEnglish
28·16 days agoThe one vote was just an amendment, the actual extension was rejected by a clear majority.

Firefox@lemmy.world•, the “last privacy-respecting browser” now nags you with in-browser pop-ups to let AI generate “key points” when you long-press links.
1·16 days agoAre you implying that the “generate key points” thingy is not privacy-respecting? If so, in what way is it not?
Right, presumably because it’s not available to everyone yet, as they say in the post?























Dat mag ik hopen, dat kon al lang, en deterministisch, zonder AI. Ik ben eigenlijk verrast dat @Felienne@mastodon.social zegt dat dat prima is.
Ik geniet wel nu al van het idee van de eerste leerlingen die prompt injections in hun antwoorden doen 😂️
