Wha-
People in the middle! Crushed yet again, oof!

(Thaaaaanksies! ^-^)

18M, Indian here. Not true.

As an Indian, <sigh>…

Man, tutorials kinda’ suck, you know? I’m a documentation guy. Also an OOP enthusiast [ https://dataorienteddesign.com/dodbook ] kinda’ guy.

In reality it is of course the opposite, and that’s terrible, too. Very frightening. Very terrifying.

I switched from Chrome (💀) to Proton and it’s great! Proton’s even trying to become a non-profit now, LOL.

Not having any comments on this post felt dystopian to me, sooo… here I am, commentin’.

(Please use a code-block.)

Aww, more personalized COMMITMSGs?!..

That’s wholesome.

DECADE?

THANKS!!! I have it bookmarked forever now!

I lost access to it. Thank you for bringing it back to me! Yay!..

I’m unfortunately not aware.

What I do know is that D-Bus (and not “DBus”) apparently doesn’t work with MIME types directly. I may have been misinformed here - but this is some information I have received.

Essentially, the data sent cannot be assigned a type or format.

On the web, all data sent by a server has a MIME type (“text/html”, “image/png”, “video/mp4”).

Android’s system for inter-process (“running program”) communication, intents, does include.
…Even Windows does, with its whatever complicated APIs.
D-Bus doesn’t, so Tuxes too, don’t. …Yet.

D-Bus is apparently also not secure enough. Probably not as bad as X11, but not good enough.

So far, KDE and GNOME have had their own " wrapper" systems to allow using D-Bus through a layer of their code to cover little inconveniences like this.

As somebody switching to data-oriented design, …

Wait, the Indian “Wipro”?!

DBus is a system-wide messaging system. It’s for stuff like notifications and system-wide events, …or so do I think. But the aim is to allow all programs, running system-wide, to announce anything for others programs to react to.

This post requests people to use Varlink instead.

This is similar to the PulseAudio versus Pipewire and X11 versus Wayland situations.

Your username reminds me more of Java’s Number::booleanValue() than JavaScript, LOL.

PS Please do tell how to read the “:::”.
Thanks!

DuckStation recently changed to a source-available license that prohibits distributing modified versions of the software and prohibits commercial use. Before, it was GPLv3.

DuckStation is an emulator for some Sony PlayStation console. PS2, I think Thanks to FangedWeyvern42@lemmy.world I know that it was a PS1 emulator. This software used to be given to users under the GPLv3 license, which grants freedoms such as distribution of the source code of the software (DuckStation) for no extra cost (well, DuckStation also costs no money! …so, you get to eat the cake and learn its recipe too, for free!).

…Now they’ve switched to a license which allows you to see the source code, but does not grant you rights over the source code that GPLv3 did (which is essentially ANYTHING as long as you publicize everything you make with the source code, under the GPLv3 license also - changes to the code, new software that uses any portion of the code, anything you make with it).

OpenOffice, Emby, Audacity, and Android (the “Android Open-Source Project”) have also done this in the past.

Knowing this stuff on Free, Libre, and Open-Source (“FLOSS”) platforms like Lemmy is almost necessary given that they’re built on these principles. Please get acquainted with them.
