  • You could probably disable the sandbox on flatpak steam and have it work as a normal app. The benefit of flatpak steam is that on some systems it avoids having to install 32-bit libraries and sandboxes itself away from your main system.

    I think the current shortcoming of flatpak is that the user’s control of the sandbox isn’t clearly there. GNOME requires a 3rd party application while KDE has it buried under system settings. Ideally, the android system would be used where permissions would be doled out on command (which is what ubuntu snap actually does).

    Flatpak is here to stay though, the alternative is a century of dependency humiliation and downstream/upstream wars. The traditional way of doing things with all native packages (deb, rpm) is outdated and will hurt people infinitely more than having to interface with a sandbox.






  • They beat me for two days straight in the first police station that I was in. I hadn’t slept or eaten or had water for 48 hours and then I was forced to sign a big stack of documents

    Doubt.

    Court documents indicate that this worked at least to some extent, earning him a four-year sentence.

    Where? There’s no citation.

    “We were banned from showering or cleaning ourselves, sometimes for months at a time. Even the toilet could be used only at specific allotted times, and they were filthy - waste from the toilets above would constantly drip down on to us.”

    Doubt.

    I highly doubt that a prison supposedly only housing foreigners (news flash, it doesn’t as per a 2009 NY Times article on a chinese “dissident”) would have US/Israeli conditions. The lack of any primary documents indicates this.

    This is likely a completely fabricated story, on the level of social credit scores catgirl-disgust
