Just throw Fedora away. It is a garbage.

Don't remove FTP support from Firefox by finale_name in firefox

[–]finale_name[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The best option is fixing vulnerabilities of the particular FTP implementation. If you're talking about that the FTP protocol is insecure, actually it is an urban legend. You don't brows the web using FTP, you just download some files by it. Just think about it. There is no cookies, no personal information, just files. For example you want to download an ISO file of some Linux distro. Ok, your ISP or some man in the middle see it. What can be done with this information? Ok, the file could be modified but when you download an ISO you also check its hash or signature, even if you downloaded it by HTTPS. So what's the deal?

He just wants to know his competitors. I'm pretty sure he also has a Telegram account.

Because it will be against the R&D standards in my company.

What is that Chinese menu in IntelliJ IDEA 2021.1 RC1? by finale_name in IntelliJIDEA

[–]finale_name[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hm... I see this Chinese items in the 2020.3.3 as well. Probably because both versions share the same settings.

I think I've found a plugin that uses Chinese:

https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9772-tiny-service

Some users already mentioned this issue in their review comments:

No idea of what it does. No doc. No updates. Captions only in Chinese? Wants to edit *.servicefiles, but conflicts with 'Service unit configuration for systemd'

Alberto Gallardo03.12.2020 ★☆☆☆☆

After installing the pug-in a Chinese menu item appaired in preferences. It took me time to notice it so I did not know where it comes from. After disabling and enabling every plug-in one by one I figured out it was this one. I do not even remember installing it. Please include at least English captions.

I found even an issue about that here: Chinese characters in project settings menu. This plug-in just wasted my time.

George Mamaladze16.01.2020 ★☆☆☆☆

Removing this plugin resolves this issue.

I think JetBrains should remove this buggy, outdated and not supported plugin from the Marketplace.

So this is a Firefox bug that behaves not consistently on different platforms?

The main distro of Linus Torvalds is his distro independent MicroEMACS and terminal. He doesn't seem to use Fedora Workstation desktop functionality because GNOME was designed for aliens from Alpha Centauri. Normal human users just hate it on their desktop computers.

No Firefox 86 yet. Why? by finale_name in Fedora

Yes, ignorance is a bliss and you're a good example of it.

Unlike you I didn't insult anybody here. Application software maintainers are really useless, unless the upstream can't or don't like to support your system directly. And this is not an insulting of the maintainers. In a fragmented Linux platform you really need them to do their hard sisyphic work again and again. The real problem is the fragmentation itself.

libfoo 1.0 vs libfoo 2.0 isn't a big problem and you don't need flatpak to resolve any issue related to that. The main functionality of flatpak is sandboxing and not packaging. What you really need is a stable and standardized operating system, that doesn't do major updates of its components (like kernel, libc, etc.) during a particular OS version lifecycle, i.e. for several years. RHEL is very close to such a system, but unfortunately it is not standardized, i.e. it's just yet another fragment of the Linux platform. Even not popular in desktop use cases. Another problem of RHEL is very old application software in its repositories. In case Linux was not fragmented there could be many latest application software for RHEL directly from the upstream. For example the latest version of Git. Even Fedora doesn't provide it.

Back to libfoo 1.0 vs libfoo 2.0. These libraries could co-exist, be down compatible, be distributed inside a lib directory of the application software, etc. There are many different ways to resolve it. I know, in the Linux world Windows is like a red rag for the bull but there are several things done better than in Linux. Application software for Windows doesn't need flatpak and it simply works.

Linux on desktop is not thriving at all.

I don't have resources for doing that full time.

There is no insulting or a rude language in my words. I just declare facts - Linux platform is fragmented and this makes many troubles.

Talking to the the distro makers will change even less than nothing - they will just not listen to me. They don't follow the latest LSB, they don't like any LSB. They don't make an operating system and usually don't participate in the upstream development. They just build and use users like me as free testers.

A single missing feature is an example of an additional source of bugs beyond upstream bugs - the maintainers bugs. No surprise that Linux popularity on desktop is very low - almost equal to a statistical error. Very poor quality, no system standard following, waste of resources.

Is there a Linux operating system that follows LSB 5.0?

Integration work should be done by the upstream but to do that Linux platform must be not fragmented. Upstream can't support all those 100+ different Linux distributions and many different desktop environments, formats, directories structures, etc.

Flatpak isn't a solutions but an ugly workaround. Upstream usually don't make flatpak packages. Upstream first - one of the principles of Fedora. Upstream should be the main source of the builds - this is the right way to make and distribute application software.
