  • In short: No. It’s getting better, but Flatpak is by no means secure. Think of it as a Windows .exe or .msi with some (not that hardened) rights management.

    In addition, Flatpaks afe often community made and not even “signed” (which is not really a thing in Flatpak to begin with (yet) ((afaik))).

    Something really secure would be a container, something really, really secure would be a VM, something really, really, really secure would be a separate machine. Flatpak is less secure than the least secure thing in this enumeration.












  • Recaptcha is one of the worst providers of such services. At times, I need to complete like 10 for being one square off or whatever, while I need a single attempt for e.g. Arkose Labs stuff.

    Sometimes, like in the picture (whether it’s real or not), the captcha is simply wrong and you can’t do it right but by accident. I already did not visit websites because I didn’t feel like giving it another try.







  • It depends on the brand I guess. Some Canon Pixma did immediately worked with my distro, like literally zero setup required. However, it refuses duplexing. It just won’t do it. Not driverless and not with gutenprint, although it lists the specific model, not when setting it as the default, not when setting it per job.

    Yet it works on Android no problem.
