A Linux user wouldn’t use chrome.
Having to apply a new update every week
Is this a Firefox reference?
That looks badass and the perfect advert for Firefox (the browser)
Somehow I think people here aren’t into Soviet propaganda movies
I see now, this is linuxmemes@lemmy.world, not @lemmy.ml. My bad, comrade.
Lies, linux user would use firefox or something more libre over chrome
A windows user downloading a random executable and unchecking all of the boxes that install malware (it is easier than pressing the “Install” button in an app store):
I switched my main to linux about a year ago and install everything through terminal at this point.
I had to download something on a windows system once recently and i was not prepared with how backwards this entire process felt.
I cant understand how i had stuck with such bullshit for so long.
I can’t believe to update on windows I have to navigate to a webpage, download the newest installer, and go through the process…
FOR EACH PROGRAM
These days if I can’t install it with winget I’m not installing it
Scoop/Chocolatey/WinGet. In that order.
Some info on each for the uninitiated: https://daftdev.blog/2024/04/01/chocolatey-vs-scoop-vs-winget---which-windows-package-manager-to-use/
I use chocolatey with win…If I had to use win…
Windows users removing spyware and telemetry while bragging about not having to touch a terminal.
A Linux user running random commands to add a new repo that points to malware (their package manager does not have the program they want by default)
Note: I just did this to install Librewolf, Mullvad, and VS Codium
No flatpak?
I thought we hated AI here on Lemmy?
Ah, the much rumored red-color computer terminal screen.
~$ chromeor click the chrome icon in your app menu. You’re welcome.Where is this from and how can I watch it?
Based on the nonsensical chest computer/armour and other garbled elements of the image I’m going to assume it’s AI-generated.
Look at the red buttons by the guy’s right hand. They look like a bunch of skittles of different sizes. It is definitely AI
Because it’s cheap greebling. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GbK_98uXAAAaD0I.jpg
Even cheaply you can still easily find something to make buttons that are of a consistent size and shape. And not put one of them on top of the edge panel of the console like one of them is on the picture. This is a typical telltale sign of AI: things that aren’t uniform when they should be and are located in nonsensical places.
There is also asymmetry and sewing lines that make no sense between the left and right gloves and what looks like is supposed to be a pair of pens on his upper right arm is just two nonsensical blobs of crome texture.
No one seems to know about what movie or show this is supposed to be from either…

Looks more like a late 80s movie to me. I assure you, we did not need AI to generate our nonsense for us.
I mean, have you ever looked at Start Trek costumes closely? Shit’s wild…
Also it’s quite grainy and the handle-thingy in the front (bottom right) is out of focus. Not sure AI can be this imperfect yet, though it’s just a matter of time.
Are you saying this is a Borg from the original enterprise from Kirk? Or do we have to go back further 2 centuries to the space shuttle Enterprise, the one from 1980’s NASA?
Flight of the NetScape Navigator
Oh I can see the animated N now
I remember this being generated by OpenAI’s Sora model.
Shoveling in RAM like coal into a furnace
#Zenbrowser on #linux
Well that is because i would have to install it first because i dont have chrome. Librewolf(firefox fork) for the win! Also i have a shorcut for the browser so its literally faster than most people on other systems. I just press super+w
I wrote my own browser using WebKit. Chrome is bloat.
I mined and smelted my own silicon. Fuckin’ amateur hour out here.
Used to work on WebKit, built my own browser for a while, but damn if they kept breaking qt/WebKit all the damn time.
That’s a great username
Ah, I am using WebKitGTK.
Currently version 4.1, though, as 6.0 is not supported on GTK3, and upgrading the project to GTK4 would possibly require a complete rewrite.
How do you do security patches?
Recompile with updated libraries. There’s probably a better way, but it’s further down the list. This thing doesn’t even support downloads yet.
Is it a “traditional” web browser or yet another Gnome header bar app?
i3 and homemade web browser - this guy is legit
Looks good
Thanks!
Probably too bare bones for what I would look in a web browser, though. Still refreshing to see someone with a WebKitGTK browser not mimic Gnome Web.
I hate, hate, HATE GTK.
Sorry, it’s visceral, can’t stand using GTK apps, but really hate the framework, it is just so badly hacked together, and QT spoiled me forever.
Need to build one again, this time with a python wrapper, wrote one for VLC and it’s spoiled me too.
I miss Galeon …
Did you publish it? What’s it called?
I call it Magellan. It’s nowhere near ready for production use, though.
i just memorized the entire web so i dont need to browse anymore. browsers are bloat
I’ve been playing too much cyberpunk lately…
If anything, I only use ungoogled chromium if a website refuses to work in Firefox. Had a financial fraud and identity theft scam the other day hosted on a Singaporean form service thing that I had to report using that browser because the send report button wasn’t working on FF.
As much as I don’t like it, it’s probably a good idea to have a backup chromium based browser like ungoogled chromium just in case. Just be sure to not be like me and actually have it in some sort of sandbox rather than running the flatpak on its own.
I was under the impression Flatpaks are sandboxed. (I am not an expert.)
Flatpak is a utility for software deployment and package management for Linux. It provides a sandbox environment in which users can run application software in (partial) isolation from the rest of the system.
I also keep Ungoogled Chromium around as a last resort (AppImage in my case).
Flatpaks are as sandboxed as the sandbox settings you give them, check out if the defaults are satisfactory on Flatseal before running it.
Flatpak is not a sandbox
Thanks for the info.
Personally, I’ve been avoiding Flatpaks anyway on my main machine, but not out of security concerns. Mainly to do with size and the update frequency.
Even the author says Flatpak is a sandbox.
The most simple but also least effective sandbox type is the container or wrapper sandbox that builds an isolated process environment and then executes the target application inside.
Flatpak provides an isolated runtime environment using a container type sandbox to execute the target application inside.
… there are two issues that prevent flatpak from providing a real sandbox environment…
Just that it’s no true scotsman, I mean sandbox.
Flatpak does provide the sandbox. It’s up to the developer to use it properly.
