Flatpak seems to be getting more attention than ever. If you're on the same boat, try these tips: itsfoss.com/flatpak-tips-tweak

#Linux #Flatpak

I found this interesting article regarding the password vs. passphrase debate.

proton.me/blog/protonmail-com-

The takeaway is basically, given that the password is actually of considerable length, it doesn't matter which one you use.

However, if it's a password that you'll need to remember, it's probably better to use a passphrase. The master password for the password manager you use is a good example. (That's one password it can't remember for you.)

@Suzie97@mastodon.social I didn't know you were a college student. What's your major?

@unfa Wow! That's great! It's kind of like a virtual book reading. 😄 I think the video could have been better, though, if there was scrolling text (like in Star Wars) so viewers could follow along as you read it.

@unfa Just for reference, what do your stats on YouTube look like for a similar period of time?

I am kind of impressed too. PeerTube's analytics seem to be more thorough than what's even available on Odysee/LBRY. It's nicely implemented.

@unfa How did the premiere on Peertube go? What was the view count?

@StroomAfwaarts @thunderbird You can install the latest version of Thunderbird via Flatpak on most distros.

(Installation instructions can be found at the bottom of the page.)

@Suzie97@mastodon.social I have to agree. Flatpak is amazing. It really takes how the Linux community has done things and massively improves it without trying to change it fundamentally. I think that may be why it is winning out against AppImage and Snap.

While they are both great formats and have their own strengths, I think they fail to address their audience and how they prefer to work. It's more or less the same reason why Microsoft Store didn't take Windows users by storm.

@Ultra @Phaserune @thelinuxEXP I'll be looking forward to it. Remember to share the link here on Mastodon. 🙂 👍

@freezr @unfa Wait.... 🤔 Doesn't that make you a 'Linux fanboy' too, given that you are arguing over its name? Just saying. 😏

@bitwarden Does it matter whether you use a passphrase or a reasonably long password if you use a password manager?

@BrodieOnLinux I had one and it was a ton of fun. I really liked it. Some of the games I enjoyed on it include Sonic Colors and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.

@killyourfm Cool! What's the story about and do you plan to sell it somewhere? I quite like its art style.

Also, what did you use to make that? I hope you don't mind the questions! 😄

@martin_wohlert@die-partei.social @nitrokey Oh! I see. Thanks for clearing that up. 👍 😄

@martin_wohlert@die-partei.social @nitrokey Are those two separate Nitrokeys? 🤔

@Tutanota
[It's FOSS] Crunchyroll believes that many hackers used Tutanota domain emails to hack their accounts, which is why they banned Tutanota from their list. Moreover, they recommend users to use email accounts powered by "Big Tech" companies for hassle-free sign up to their services.

News flash to Crunchyroll: hackers use all kinds of email platforms. Services like Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and everything else are constantly subject to abuse by malicious actors...

I think @Phaserune and @thelinuxEXP both make valid points. Of course, I am on the side of 'Linux is totally not difficult to use' but I also know that we can do a lot better.

While there are tons of resources, I think we need to make them even more accessible for newcomers who don't know where to even look. Think about ProtonDB and WineHQ. Although both cover similar things, ProtonDB presents it in a better format.

Things are definitely improving but I believe we still have more work to do. 😄

@glowl @Tutanota Oops! My bad. It seems that I didn't read it properly. 😅 Thanks.

@Tutanota Also, I wonder if @protonmail is affected by this issue as well. 🤔
