This is one of the few apps I think should be the part of core gnome apps.

Request for Proposals: GNOME Desktop-Wide Web/Network Filtering Solution (discourse.gnome.org)

XDG Desktop Portal 1.19.0 released — The desktop integration portal for Linux (github.com)
 

Add a new «GetHostPaths» method to the Document portal, which allows mapping file descriptors to paths on the host system. This can be used by apps to show more meaningful file paths in the user interface.

Looking forward to this. If you’ve been bothered by /run file paths in Flatpak apps before, you should do so as well, because this finally enables apps to show the «real» path instead.

Typing this comment from a Note 7 pro, from 2019. Other than lacking os updates, it serves me well for all my usecases.

New week, new improvements: 140% faster encryption speed on macOS in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

From the AMA, someone suggested

Yeah some Up/Download + simple management API would be really nice. Since Proton is loved a lot among programmers, I'm very sure there'll be a lot of people in the community to create some implementation their own (including me)

And Andy(CEO) replied

This is actually good/important input. We went this direction with Proton VPN on Linux and the first version was a community built version which as OK. Eventually, we had to take the effort in-house to ensure it was sufficiently well maintained and keeping up with the latest features, but it was still a goo way to get started. We will indeed consider this for Proton Drive also, although it is a more complicated product (includes complex parts like sync engine and version conflict resolution logic, etc). -Andy

Also, when pointed about Henry,Andy replied

Yes, we know Henry, he should have access to the API specs/docs and he has a direct line of communication with us. -Andy

So all hope is not i would say. And i would prefer rclone and apps based over than than electron wrappers tbh.

I too use torrents if possiblez but sometimes, the movie we seek maynot be available or won't have enough seeders. Sites like this, and others mentioned in fmhy are useful at those times.

Nautilus file chooser implementation merged (gitlab.gnome.org)
 

When opening / saving files, you’ll now be presented with a window similar to the main window of Files. The new file picker is actually part of Files, so it utilizes a lot of existing code. It’s also adaptive, and a lot more open for changes than the one built into GTK.

Kerala have a big contribution to this since all the school IT labs + government offices here use ubuntu or its slightly modified versions. Wish if every state did so.

what's your current linux distro? in c/[email protected]

I used to be on pure Arch for 2.5 years, but currently uses cachyOS. And its so much removes the pain points of arch, as well as giving super fast performance.

True. I'm glad that the multiple lemmy releases during past months didn't make the app unusable.
