Improving the Flatpak Graphics Drivers Situation (blog.sebastianwick.net)
 

Graphics drivers in Flatpak have been a bit of a pain point. The drivers have to be built against the runtime to work in the runtime. This usually isn’t much of an issue but it breaks down in two cases:

  1. If the driver depends on a specific kernel version
  2. If the runtime is end-of-life (EOL)

The first issue is what the proprietary Nvidia drivers exhibit. A specific user space driver requires a specific kernel driver. For drivers in Mesa, this isn’t an issue. In the medium term, we might get lucky here and the Mesa-provided Nova driver might become competitive with the proprietary driver. Not all hardware will be supported though, and some people might need CUDA or other proprietary features, so this problem likely won’t go away completely.

TrixiePup64 2601 Released For Debian 13 Powered Puppy Linux In Wayland & X11 Flavors (www.phoronix.com)
 

For those with fond memories of Puppy Linux as a very lightweight Linux distribution, released last month was a new TrixiePup64 for continuing the Puppy Linux spirit atop Debian. The new TrixiePup64 is based on Debian 13 components while shipping in both X11 and Wayland flavors. Out now is TrixiePup64 2601 as the latest iteration of this lightweight Linux distribution.

TrixiePup64 2601 is now available in pulling in the latest Debian packages while continuing to use the Linux 6.12 kernel and other components found with the Trixie release.

5 Linux Resolutions to Level Up Your Skills in 2026 (itsfoss.com)
 

Actually, these are mostly based on my New Year resolutions, and not all of these will be applicable to you, but you will surely find one or two to add to your new year resolution as a desktop Linux user.

GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux (linuxiac.com)
 

Some projects keep surprising me with their “solutions,” and this is one of those cases. A proposal under review by developers from GNOME and Mozilla could change how middle-mouse-button paste behaves on Linux and other Unix-like systems.

The discussions, visible in Mozilla’s Phabricator revision D277804 and a linked GNOME gsettings-desktop-schemas merge request, focus on disabling the traditional primary selection paste by default.

Mozilla proposes changing the default behavior of the Firefox browser on Unix builds so that pressing the middle mouse button no longer pastes text by default. The author of the revision frames the current behavior as a source of confusion and accidental pastes, especially when users press the middle button without expecting the clipboard contents to be inserted into text fields.

Two Linux Distributions I'm Watching Closely in 2026 in c/linux@programming.dev

I specified already, people see the instances you post from and builds recognition for that due to the volume with which i post. So I rotate around which ones I post from

when you use these accounts to post to huge instances like lemmy.world (which you do frequently)

I haven't posted to a .world comm (with the exception of linux_gaming) since the JL fallout and have moved quite a few of the comms I created there off it and am planning to move some of the larger ones I mod off there

although I'm not convinced it's really a problem.

It actually did happen to me, and they were spouting right-winger Nazi bullshit sooo yea. Turned out it was UM (unsurprisingly) lmao

And btw some of those accounts in your screenshot are the imposter accounts like Lonestar, az.social and pawn

But some of the others I don't post from much if at all and just make comms with them

Oh I don't do that for that, there's multiple reasons, but one of the bigger ones is to promote smaller instances because of the volume of posting it makes smaller instances more recognizable.

Other reasons for the multitude of accounts include making comms on fitting smaller instances (I make programming related comms on programming.dev or retro related on retrolemmy for example), protecting against the imposter problem and better interconnecting wayward smaller instances (you'd be surprised at the number of, even common comms, that smaller instances are missing out on that I discover just through my posting)

I do crosspost all .ml content and tag the user if it's OC, as part of boycotting efforts against .ml. It shows in the crosspost section of your client

Not that it's relevant in this particular case, this is my own sourced article not posted before to the Threadiverse

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Alternative to Google Family: timelimit in c/parenting@lemmy.world
[–] cm0002@ttrpg.network 4 points 4 days ago

I use this, I like it. I have it coupled with a device management platform that enforces it. (ManageEngine Endpoint Central, free up to 25 devices)

You can also self-host the "connected mode" server and is way more flexible than Family Link in regards to app limits. You can even set time limits for individual app activities. So if your kid likes a certain app, but has features you'd prefer they have less or no access at all to and it's broken into a separate activity you can just add that activity to a stricter limit
