Lemmy.one shut down so I wouldn't use that one anymore

Didn't know it only applied to UWP apps on Windows. That does seem like a pretty big problem then.

I don't still have a Mac readily available to test with but afaik it is any application that uses Apple's packaging format. It could also be that it needs to be in the "Applications" folder, but I'm almost certain it isn't an App Store exclusive feature.

I mentioned Linux specifically because something like this is the hardest to set up on Linux. I (wrongly) assumed that since you were complaining about it not existing, you were on a platform where setting these permissions up isn't straightforward. App-specific file-acess permissions are on MacOS out of the box as a configurable setting for all applications (in the system settings menu), and I'm pretty sure Windows 10/11 has something similar in its settings menu as well.

Edit: Also, if we're being pedantic, this is also a setting on both Android and iOS, with Android displaying the option to change access pretty much every time you pick out a file.

Not sure what platform you're on but on Linux flatpak can limit access to files, and things like AppArmor can do that for any native app as well (though it can be pretty tedious to configure)

I think the problem is that the Matrix Foundation (non-profit org) is being slowly cannibalized by Element (for-profit, VC-funded) which ends up making their costs and profit expectations a lot higher.

Right now this is only impacting the matrix.org homeserver. However, this could eventually end up impacting protocol-level design choices that harm other instances as well. Sure, you could fork the protocol and clients, but now we're talking about taking up the work that an entire organization had previously been doing. Not impossible if an existing organization like the FSF or Linux Foundation started backing something, but not a great place to be in either.

Edit: grammar

Reminder: Most devs actually care about the things they make. This is a management/timeline problem, not a developer one.

I don't think I used it until chapter 9. To me it's useful for harder-difficulty levels like ch. 9 and modded levels where you don't really get any time mid-level to stop and think about where you need to go next. For those levels the telescope helps out a lot

I don't think it's a process ID? I have 2 virtual pipewire devices (one called "chat-mic" and one called "chat-speaker"). Pipewire devices (nodes) also have ID numbers, but they are assigned when the device is initialized on startup and aren't guaranteed to be the same between reboots

 

I have a virtual source and a virtual sink which I'm using to forward audio to/from chat apps (Matrix, Discord, Zoom, etc.) so I can control the mic/output volume independently of everything else on my system. I have them setup and working fine using pipewire.conf.d files. The problem is that using wpctl to change volume requires having an ID, but those aren't static. Normally the solution would be to use @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SOURCE@ (or sink), but that wouldn't work in this case. Is there a way to adjust volume/toggle mute without having the ID? Or alternatively, is there a way to get the ID for a specific node name that I can put in a bash script?

If I'm asking this in the wrong place, is there a better place to go?

I'm headcanonning this comment as the finger gun scene from Komi regardless of whether or not I'm right

Me: mom can we have (Linux penguin)?

The rest of the meme is scribbled out and over it is one word, "Yes"

 

I'm trying out NixOS on my laptop right now and I'm loving it so far, but I was thinking of setting up distro box for ubuntu (mostly for a few developer environments dependent on it) and arch (for packages that aren't on nixpkgs yet). I was wondering about the battery life hit on a laptop and I couldn't find anything definitive on google/ddg. Has anyone here noticed a difference?
