Huh, intersting
Brother’s driver install tool expects
dnf
,apt
, oryum
, and so it’s incompatible with ostree-based systems like Kinoite or Silverblue. You can of course download the driver manually and install the necessary packages:
Not being able to provide support for every distro is the other edge of open source
Your phone has a snapdragon which is very popular chip to make ROM for but generally hard to unlock unofficially -not impossible though it’s possible there is a workaround by now for your specific chip - on the flip side mediatek devices are less popular due to them refusing to provide the source code but to their partners. however they are well-known to be easy to unofficially unlock due to some vulnerability -in the bootloader- that they refuse to patch.
I did a leap of faith and I unlocked my phone unofficially (mediatek) but if you decide to flip that coin think hard about it and make sure you are well informed (like using your specific phone code name instead of brand name ex: instead of redmi 9 say “lancelot”)

As long as your pc is a little bit behind its gonna be ok (unless you have a certain wifi chip)
For people who say you should read the contract before agreeing to it. What about the hundreds of thousands? No, millions of people buying new windows laptops every year. Are they presented with any kind of agreement? I don’t think so.
university students ?
I meant the document (with a lot of pictures, tables, graphs, using a lot of different fonts, etc.) Not the file format.
Idk i have never worked with a complicated odt document Although, I would expect some problems because of fonts
Come to think of it. I tried that a couple months ago and The results weren’t so great.( I told word to specifically save my docx document in ODT format)
i don’t want to start a war but sorry, office is the defacto when it comes to office work and libreoffice still have many problems with formatting and editing existing .docx files (things seem better when it comes to .xlsx and .pptx) not to mention that your documents might not look similar on both due to missing proprietary fonts.
its a good software in itself its just that its compatibility with office is a little dodgy
I would like to recommend sumatrapdf
Dear Lord, I thought you were exaggerating
The perfect distro doesn’t exist, YOU make it then you add it to distrowatch
Well, I can. But the difference is so minor it won’t make a difference in my opinion. Especially if you are listening mostly to digital music. It’s a different story for classical, especially violin. But if i played for you both 320 kb mp3 and flac you probably won’t notice unless i told you what to look for and thats fine.
I don’t judge people Hobies, i just wanted To point out how both are somehow similar
The thing is that no one should listen 128kb mp3 -or youtube rip- and having a wide accurate color range screen is more important imo
Was gonna say the same thing, HDR is like flac and expensive amps for audiophiles Maybe we should start calling them visualphiles ? 🤷♂️
Nala
enjoyers be like:
–>since everyone is confused about this i’m gonna try to explain as best as i could and also clearing some misconceptions:
1# why this is such a big deal ?
if this gets implemented AND it gets widely adopted websites now can refuse to give you content if you are running a non complied browser, remember those website that say “oh you are using an ad blocker so disable it to access our site” they can detect this by various methods but ultimately all of them rely on running a JavaScript into your browser. which you guessed it, its easy to modify and tamper with manually or using extensions
now what WEI-API does is that it can verify the integrity of the web page ( JavaScript/HTML/CSS has not been modified ) and even tell the website what extensions - ad blocker detected no content for you - you are using and what browser you are using - firefox or brave detected no content for you - and do not be fooled into thinking that this can be spoofed. and website owners who think that they are running a business not a charity will implement this.
2#will using firefox save me?
if this gets widely adopted and you inevitably encounter a website that require this ( for your job ,school or your bank ) you have no choice but to use chrome just like when your banking apps refuse to work because your phone is rooted which means that SAFETY-NET is broken
3#why this is a threat to begin with?
this is only viable if the web adopt it so why bother?, well guess what google is famous for making its services very easy to integrate and well documented just look on how easy it is to integrate google analytics and google adsense* into websites and how many of them use it in the internet.
4#what can we do to prevent this?
this is my personal opinion but i think we simply can’t, this not like the reddit incident were very large portion of the user base was upset most people don’t know/care/give-a-fuck about web technologies and how they work.
#and Finally “but google said they don’t plan to use this to fingerprint you (Device ID) or track your browser history or interfere with the work of extensions”
do you really believe that a company like google whose bread and butter is advertising would not make it easier for themselves, a company who has been exposed time and time again for lying and having ulterior motives ( you don’t need to look far just look into what manifest-v3 did )
