I thought I would never have to see BSOD after switching to linux, but here we go...

[ tbh, I love that errors are presented much better, just that the name doesn't bring back much good memories.

Glad that there are govt. level systems who make use of Linux (mostly ubuntu ) systems here. For eg. , in kerala, all govt schools and colleges use linux for computer labs and academic activities, i guess the local body administration too use ubuntu.

Only wish we could convince those private sector schools of the money they'll save converting those slow windows systems to linux.

I'm happy to see the improvements in the mobile side of things ( phosh ). As per different reviews i heard , what it mainly need are perfomance improvements though.

We are introducing a change in JDK/JRE packages of our distro. This is triggered from the way a JRE is build in modern versions of Java (>9). We are introducing this change in Java 21.

To sum it up instead of having JDK and JRE packages coexist in the same system we will be making them conflict. The JDK variant package includes the runtime environment to execute Java applications so if one needs compilation and runtime of Java they need only the JDK package in the future. If, on the other hand, they need just runtime of Java then JRE (or jre-headless) will work.

This will (potentially) require a manual user action during upgrade:

  • If you have both JDK and JRE installed you can manually install the JDK with pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk and this removes the JRE related packages.
  • If you have both JRE and JRE-headless you will need to choose one of them and install it manually since they would conflict each other now.
  • If you only have one of the JDK/JRE/JRE-headless pacman should resolve dependencies normally and no action is needed.

At the moment this is only valid for the upcoming JDK 21 release.

Hey everyone,

Starting today, you will be able to see attachments displayed in the message list on Proton Mail for the web. This feature will come to mobile apps in the near future.

Attachment preview will help you find a document you need quickly and preview it in one click. You don’t need to open the email containing it to see the details of the document.

Please note that this is only available with the density set to “comfortable.” If you cannot see this improvement, you can check which interface density you’re using by clicking on the settings icon in your browser.

What is your opinion ?

Although i applaud their moral stance, this probably only helps to just stagnating one more business. Its not as if they were providing any defence clothes or equipments.

We're happy to announce that the search feature for Proton Calendar is now available in the latest version of the web app!

Now you can easily find the events you're looking for – whether you need to confirm an event’s location, get more details from its description, see participants, and more.

If you haven’t already, try it out here: https://calendar.proton.me

Search is made possible by creating a local index of your events and storing it on your device. When you search for an event, the app goes through the index of your downloaded events and highlights all matches. That way, no event content is made visible to Proton for the purpose of a search.

Read more about Calendar search in our knowledge base: https://proton.me/support/calendar-search

As always, thank you for your continuous support,

The Proton team

Today, we’re excited to announce that the new Proton VPN Linux app is now officially available for everyone.

With the new Linux application, you get a host of features:

  • Protocols: OpenVPN-UDP and OpenVPN-TCP
  • VPN Accelerator
  • Moderate NAT
  • NetShield Ad-blocker
  • Kill switch
  • Port forwarding
  • Auto connect at app startup
  • Pin servers to tray

Secure Core support will be added in the coming months as well. And though WireGuard is not yet supported, we’ve implemented OpenVPN DCO on our servers, which gives you identical results in terms of performance.

Find more information on how to install it in our KB article here.

For those of you wondering, in the coming months, we'll be working on a new Linux CLI based on your feedback.

What it does is that when you encounter an issue with your extensions, it disables half of them, and asks you whether that fixed your issue or not. If it did, it repeats the process, disabling only half of that half, and asks you again - and so on and so forth until you home in on one troublesome extension.

An excellent read. ( and a long one )

Hello everyone,

Starting today, you can test the search feature in the beta version of the Proton Calendar web app.

This feature will allow you to easily find the events you're looking for while keeping your schedule private.

Search is made possible by creating and storing a local index of your events on your device.

This ensures that Proton doesn't see the details of your events.

To try it out, make sure that you have joined the Beta.

Do this by opening the Proton Calendar web app, and enabling Beta access in the settings menu.

You can learn more about this feature here: https://proton.me/support/calendar-search

Search was one of the most popular Calendar community requests, and we’d love to hear your feedback about it!

Yes. Some of them do nothing other than serve ads and /or track information.Disabling them can help thus with better privacy and longer battery life.

Thanks for the video

it would be good If the video was in landscape mode. we could see more file contents and there will be less word breakings.

This PR in lemmy will implement the issue PR #3869. Looking at the thread, the devs have completed the work and waiting for successful testing.

[-] redw0rm@kerala.party 18 points 1 year ago

There is also a lemmy PR waiting to get approved that will help blocking instances in backend itself, which is better than current way of clients hiding the posts from blocked instances. IMO, waiting for that maybe better that doing, undoing, and redoing

[-] redw0rm@kerala.party 18 points 1 year ago

Whatever the devs can do now is only provide a local only solution if possible, because there is no support for it in serverside. So whatever u save, they will not be synced.

There is an open issue ticket in lemmy's main github repo and are actually happening quite lot of conversations on how to implement it

[-] redw0rm@kerala.party 22 points 1 year ago

As far as they don't destroy anything, its okay. I already feel this canvas was more inclusive of smaller arts and just continued around them ( instead of overriding them )
