Unfortunately the tech-illiterate heads that control DOST would reject such proposal.

Philippines should be next. Unfortunately the lack of net neutrality allows our telcos to literally provide unlimited text-only Facebook access for free, like wtf...

As for the permission popups, they have already done that through XDG Desktop Portals. You might have noticed that, for example, apps with supposedly no filesystem access can still open files you selected via the file picker or opened via the file manager. Or that apps need you to explicitly allowlist them to access your location data. Those are apps that use the portals permission system. Unfortunately not all apps use portals yet.

I have seen mockups of GNOME adapting a similar banner style as what Flathub. We might have to wait for GNOME 47 though.

PiVPN Releases Final Version and Announces Project Shutdown in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I vaguely remember some money calculating-related project guy who received a PR that heavily optimized and updated the project. Since he was very busy and no longer really wanted to maintain the project, rather than reviewing and merging the commit, he gave the contributor complete access to the repo for them to maintain the project at their own discretion. The project was unpopular back then—when he looked back a few years later, he was surprised to discover that the project had racked up several thousands of stars.

Vanilla OS 2 Orchid will be released "very soon" (discord.com)
 

Original message from the Vanilla OS Discord announcment, from @mirkob1:

For those asking for Vanilla OS 2 Orchid's release date, the simple answer is: soon, very soon.

While the full one is: please let us work with no rush, Orchid has a complex structure, introduces new paradigms and we want to be sure that everything works the best before releasing.

Workaround for recent Roblox crashes (for Vinegar) (discord.com)
 

Roblox recently released an update that caused freezes on the desktop app. Some cannot open Roblox while others experience crashes after a few minutes of playing. This seems to be caused by a change in their anti-cheat engine, as Windows users with BitDefender experienced the exact same issue.

If you are using Linux and have installed Vinegar from Flathub to run Roblox, you can follow these steps to work around this bug.

  1. Open the terminal. You can find it in your app drawer.

  2. Paste flatpak run io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar edit and press enter on your keyboard.

  3. A text editor will open on the terminal. You can move the cursor by using the arrow keys. Paste the following into the bottom of the file using Ctrl+Shift+V (Ctrl+V is not used for pasting by the terminal). If the [player] line already exists (e.g. you have modified it before already), only add/replace the channel line under it.

[player]
channel = "zavatarteam2"
  1. Save the file by pressing Ctrl+O and Enter, then Ctrl+X to exit.

You can then open "Roblox App (Vinegar)" on your app drawer to play Roblox as usual.

Flatpak standing the test of time: modern Flatpak apps running on Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, a 7-year-old distro (lemm.ee)
 

Gradience, Flatseal, Loupe Image Viewer, and Resources running on Ubuntu 16.04

Firefox 118.0.2 running on Ubuntu 16.04

Door Knocker, Collision, and Cartridges running on Ubuntu 16.04

ASHPD Demo running on Ubuntu 16.04, showing a notification through XDG portals

According to Door Knocker, almost half of the portals are unavailable on Ubuntu 16.04, compared to only one unavailable on Fedora 39 with GNOME, which means Flatpaks running here may have more limited capabilities than usual.

Microsoft Office activation guide modified to use Ohook (rentry.org)
 

I did a guide several months ago to make Microsoft Office installation as easy as possible. I have recently modified it to tell people to use the Ohook activation method and also updated the GitHub Gist mirror.

Happy pirating and I hope this guide can help anyone.

Newbies hating on Flatpak, Wayland, PipeWire, SystemD, and other new stuff that actually works unlike their predecessors because they were told by some racist boomer Linux YouTuber to hate those

IMHO "folder" just sounds a lot more cozier than "directory".
