That is an extremely oddly specific cysec issue they’re choosing to target…

I think GNOME’s filechooser is the GTK one (never used it so I’m not sure), mine looks like this:

It’s entirely possible that Firefox changed and now uses XDG portals by default, I configured it like this a long time ago.

As for how to configure it, I honestly don’t know.
It was a combination of messing with widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal on about:config, and changing XDG envvars and dotfiles; both by following several conflicting Reddit and bbs.archlinux.org posts.

XDG portal filechooser for Firefox: the KDE implementation uses Dolphin, which is full of features and I use most of them; the default GTK one is mildly infuriating to use and looks ugly too, but getting the browser to use the portal I want was a nightmare - especially since GTK discontinued the GTK_USE_PORTAL envvar.
The related Firefox config entries make no sense either.

Here it is:

#!/usr/bin/zsh

nl=$'\n'
dnl=$'\n\n'

url=$1
msgcontent=$url; shift
argi=1
for arg ($@); do
    argi=$(($argi + 1))
    msgcontent=${msgcontent}${nl}Argument\ ${argi}': '${arg}
done

title="${0:A}"
msg="An application attempted to open a web page:${dnl}\"${msgcontent}\"${dnl}Copy the URL to clipboard?"

kdialog --title $title --yesno $msg
answer=$?

if [[ $answer = 0 ]]; then wl-copy $url; fi

If you want to translate it to Bash, keep in mind that arrays behave differently between the two shells, and syntax like for arg ($@); do would likely misbehave or not work at all.

Also, there’s an issue where some applications do something weird, and the URL seems to be a zero-length argument. I have absolutely no idea what’s up with that.

You can set some browser-unrelated program or script as your desktop environment’s default browser, for example I wrote a Zsh script that creates a KDE dialog and asks me to copy the URL to the clipboard.

I’m not currently at my PC, but if you want it I can paste it in a comment here when I get to it - it shouldn’t be too hard to translate it to Bash, either.

Other than that? /usr/bin/true is a pretty nice default browser for applications to start without your consent, very minimal and lightweight.

Oh, std::enable_if is straight up worse, they’re unreadable and don’t work when two function overloads (idk about variables) have the same signature.

I’m not even sure enable_if can do something that constraints can’t at all…

I imagine reflections would make the process more straightforward, requires expressions are powerful but either somewhat verbose or possibly incomplete.

For instance, in your example foo could have any of the following declarations in a class:

• void foo();
• int foo() const;
• template <typename T> foo(T = { }) &&;
• decltype([]() { }) foo;

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking of. I don’t know how C++ could reasonably have Java-like reflections anyway…

Wouldn’t compilers be able to optimize runtime things out? I know that GCC does so for some basic RTTI things, when types are known at compile time.

I can see the footguns, but I can also see the huge QoL improvement - no more std::enable_if spam to check if a class type has a member, if you can just check for them.

… at least I hope it would be less ugly than std::enable_if.

The joke has been lost because the drive’s technology is ill-suited for permament storage.

If only we had a hard drive…

Nah, it’s just that /proc is incorrect - it contains information about running processes, as well as kernel data structures as visible by the process reading them.

Wdym? flamingo_pinyata’s explaination was quite useful, I wish somebody had told me that long ago and it’s still going to let me save so much time.

It feels like /opt 's official meaning is completely lost on developers/packagers (depending on who’s at fault), every single directory in my /opt belongs to standalone software that should just be put into either /usr/lib or /usr/share with some symlinks or scripts into /usr/bin.

… for the next 3 months, until a security update makes its way onto your device and also coincidentally breaks GRUB, hey look Recall is now enabled and opt-out.

No, Micro for the linux

They lost their firstborn son in The War to untracked artillery because neither -i, -n, nor -f were given.

As for the second question: Windows 11 IoT LTSC has yet to be mentioned here - the only things that can stop you from using it are legality and convenience.

I’m not sure if W10 has an IoT LTSC version, but W10 LTSC does exist.

I remember trying to push the limits with a Windows 10 VM, and 2GB was the bare minimum;
however, Windows loves to abuse virtual memory (basically using the main storage drive instead of RAM) and if that drive is a HDD the PC is little more than an IoT space heater.

A relative of mine has a Windows 10 PC with 4GB of memory and it takes ~ 5 minutes to start Chrome after booting it up; it does have a lot of miscellaneous bloatware on it, though.
