Sandboxing in the browser is different than the sandboxing done by flatpak.
You really want your browser sandbox to be rock solid as any weakness allows for drive by attacks by websites.
Flatpak uses bubblewrap under the hood so it is just as secure. Flatpak also has a security tracker and when security issues are found they are taken very seriously.
Docker is actually less secure from a sandboxing perspective as the docker daemon runs as root.
It would make more sense to compare to raw bubblewrap or podman.
Most flatpaks don’t have full access. You can grant permission via the file picker. (It happens automatically)
Also the sandbox won’t prevent social engineering
Do you have current proof that there is security problems in the current stable version of Flatpak? Nothings perfect but bubblewrap should be pretty solid.
I don’t think they have bad security. It should be impossible to actually break with the sandbox with the currently known information. The vulnerability I could see is human related. The sandbox can’t help you if you give it your login information.
They have there own tradeoffs. The weakness is usually the user.
It is a container so any access to the outside system is passed though.
There are XDG portals but those are just standard ways of accessing a resource.
The flatpak sandbox shouldn’t be considered secure against malware. It is more of a loose sandbox.
It is technically possible for a flatpak to ship a insecure library. However, that’s not unique to flatpak and I’ve never actually heard of that happening (I’m sure it had)
No, you are wrong!
It depends on how you measure it. That was the start of covid so people were dying
Well for what its worth there are other counties outside of Russia

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did something similar for China at some point. (If tensions worsen)
I don’t see them doing anything outside of that
You do realize that the Linux foundation is an American based entity right? It isn’t a shock that it is bound by US law.
He’s Finnish by heart even though he lives in the US. I think it is probably a pretty big worry for him that Russia might invade Finland.
I doubt this is something that he would initiate but if there was any pressure from other parties (I’m sure there was) I don’t think he is going to fight it.
You act as if we killed your dog. There is nothing stopping you from moving on. You can jump to an instance that is more agreeable to you or you could create a big block list. However, lemmyml has earned a bad rep from the rest of the community.
Corruption should be automatically detected and fixed. The operations will resume on bootup.
However I wouldn’t push your luck.
“Bcachefs sucks because I use ext4”
I know you are saying this is a bad thing but as an American I have no issues with it.
