I wasn't going to watch this but they threw Kyle MacLachlan in it so now I am legally obligated.

Lol. This has really come full circle as I am posting things that were sent to me by a friend of mine that doesn't use lemmy.

I think you mean "Liberal Propaganda"

From a maximum security perspective, you should be checking all the code you install on your computer. No matter if it is foss, audited by some group, or proprietary (if possible). What would stop a bad actor from auditing malicious code and approving it?

As for sandboxing, there's multiple options, not the least of which is containerization.

Again, security is a compromise. More security normally comes at some cost just as less security does.

But back to the topic of the post. You are complaining that SimpleX doesn't work when installed though a flatpak (because one doesn't exist). So perhaps it's not a good software to rely on flatpaks for. Unless you choose to only install software via flatpaks, to which I'd say that's admirable but also perhaps needlessly limiting. Either way it's your choice, but I would suggest some open mindedness of options that may let you use the software you want.

Any time that you spend with someone close to you can be romantic.

Some of the most memorable and romantic times I've had were just going for strolls, talking openly, and appreciating each other.

I heard someone going off about this. According to them, Democrats houses were saved because of their blue roofs.

So I thought for a moment on how best to respond to such an incredibly stupid thing. And I said, at least the IHOPs are safe.

For the public domain, I think Les Misérables by Victor Hugo is a great read.

However I must ask, why limit yourself purely to the public domain? Do you not have access to a library? They are incredible places. And there are also some great apps available like Libby where you can checkout ebooks and audio books from anywhere with internet.

Scraping plastic can cause micro abrasions that allow for mold and other micro organisms to thrive. These can also form from just wear and tear.

Probably the best thing to do is simply to replace the bottle or maybe the cap can be replaced.

This is one of the reasons I try to avoid plastic/acrylic in my water bottles. But if i cant avoid it I try to opt for polypropylene and then just avoid getting it hot.

I have not tried it. But this doc seems to make sense and isn't very opinionated.

One of the aspects that is glossed over in this doc however is the networking parts. There are many ways to setup your DNS, certificates, and ingress depending on how/where you are hosting the container.

Security is a compromise between convenience and safety.

However, simply using flatpaks isn't inherently more secure than using a binary or compiling from source. But it can make it easier to be secure for people that don't want to manage their own sandboxes.

It's also easier for devs so they only have to make one version of their app which in theory should work on all systems. But in practice I find it doesn't always work that way
