Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world
[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure the client is open source,
server code is closed source.

So if proton enshittifies or ceizes to exist,
the open source clients will be useless,
since you or someone else can't host the server, since that is closed source.

But whatever man, good for you if you like them and want to remain oblivious of the risks! c:

No, I mean their email server + protocol.
The thing you'd use to self-host a proton mail email server.

What you linked is the source to the client,
which interacts with the proprietary server code to fetch your mail from them.

If you can't self-host / switch to a different server if they enshittify due to being closed source, then it's not "open source" nor "portable"

Then please do link me the source code of their email protocol.

FairEmail's FAQ is the 1st thing that popped up on Github when searching for "proton", mentioning that it's proprietary:

2 words I want you to keep in mind:

  • Entranchment
  • Enshittification

I purposely do not use the whole Proton suite for those reasons. It would be quite bad if one is entranched by their whole suite if they went on the enshittification route, which large companies eventually tend to do.

Yeah, it's a feature of my client, Eternity,
I've written a guide once on how to set it up:

Other clients might support similar filter functionality though, but afaik it's not natively supported by Lemmy at this time.

Blocking Copilot + AI feed bloat on Github? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I've absolutely grown to hate everything AI/LLM related.

It's sole marginal benefit is to senior devs,
with generating some boiler plate code,
which you usually still need to adjust.

For the rest it's been a waste of:

  • Time during development, with wrong answers.
  • Time during reviews, with garbage generated PRs from junior devs.
  • Energy, contributing to global warming.

But lately M$ has been intrusively shoving Copilot down our throats on Github, which I'm quite unhappy with.

So if any of you have some uBlock Origin filters,
or any other ideas on how I can block this Copilot slop out,
please do enlighten me!

Edit: Did some searching of my own.

Go to: https://github.com/settings/copilot
Block + disable everything you can under there.

Then go to uBlock Origin => Open the Dashboard => My Filters => Add:

github.com##.copilotPreview__container
github.com##.AppHeader-CopilotChat
github.com##li.ActionListItem:has-text(Copilot)
github.com##li.ActionList-sectionDivider:has-text(Copilot)

It's not perfect, but at least it's a start of getting rid of the unwanted content.

Advertisements in Manjaro?!.. (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I logged in today and was greeted with this advertisement in my notifications.

Seriously Manjaro team,
I've been happily using your OS for the past few years,

[Release] Belfius Root (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/18470641

Simple Xposed module to support the Belfius app on Rooted devices!

Source
https://github.com/Rikj000/Belfius-Root#belfius-root

License GPLv3

Motivation
Belfius bank was pretty cool about having a rooted device in the past,
they just threw a dismissible warning about security risks of using a rooted device,
and then allowed you to keep using their app.

However on 2024-07-01 this changed.
Nowadays they assume that you're an idiot that will not be able to keep your own device safe if you have root.

I do not agree with that assumption, and likely neither do you.
Only power users that have a good idea of what they're doing tend to root their own devices.

After only a hand full of transactions, done through the tedious browser process,
I grew agitated enough to do the research to write this module.

Hope you'll enjoy this module and the ability to stay rooted!

Forgejo or Radicle - Which do you prefer? (github.com)
 

Just finished writing out a lengthy comment,
with the up/downsides I can see
on each of the code forges I currently deem promising,
on the Github Discussion "Alternatives to GitHub"

And I was wondering, out of following 2,
which code forge would you guys prefer and why?

Help preserve Yuzu's code base (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/12733354

As you all know or may not know,
Nintendo has taken down Yuzu,
see following post for more info on that:
https://lemmy.world/post/12728163

Now it's important to preserve the code base of Yuzu,
so hopefully someday, once things cooled down a little,
an active fork can stick it's head up.

After looking at the Azure DevOps Pipelines
of yuzu-emu/yuzu,
I noticed the latest pipeline ran 8 hours ago
as of writing this post:

Which tells us that the latest commit,
was a merge of PR #13198 from
zhaobot/tx-update-20240301020652

This fork,
is the most up-to-date one / contains the latest commit
done to Yuzu before the take down:
https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu/tree/tx-update-20240301020652

I encourage you all to pull, star and fork this fork,
not only the master branch, but all branches!
The more copies floating out there,
the better the project will be preserved.

You can pull the code base to your local machine, with:

git clone https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu.git

(Requires https://git-scm.com/)

And you can pull in all the branches,
as described in this Github Gist:
https://gist.github.com/grimzy/a1d3aae40412634df29cf86bb74a6f72
