Oof yeah, some programs really love to touch a lot of stuff making strace kind of annoying to use. I usually end up chaining more grep -v pipes on the end as I find files I'm not interested in seeing e.g.

strace okular | grep openat | grep -v breeze-dark | grep -v icon

Might help to first save it to a file so you don't have to keep relaunching okular as you add more inverse greps

strace okular | tee some-file
^C
cat some-file | grep -v ...

I would probably try running

strace okular | grep openat

to see all the files it's trying to read and see if any aren't managed by your package manager and move those.

But the latest reply by felixernst in the kde discuss also looks helpful.

Ah yeah I don't know how I would do that easily on a phone. Do those in my example above render for you? You should probably be able to just copy/paste them on a phone if they do.

I can't find a keyboard with them, or a copy/pastable line where they've been typed

Maybe use combining diacritical marks?

I'm using 0x326 (Combining Comma Below), but you may need the CGJ in there to render correctly in all contexts

e.g.

Foo!̦ Bar?̦

Edit: Combining grapheme joiner, not zero width joiner

Agreed, but my point is with a centralized network the lowest common denominator wins. There is no reason you can't have QoL features on an open network, and thusly let everyone have the features that they care most about.

Can you imagine what a shithole the internet would have been if email wasn't federated an open? There is absolutely no way that whatever centralized bullshit would have spawned instead would already be either long gone or enshittified to the point of being useless.

Good for you, you have a short list of requirements out of a chat service and discord perfectly fills your niche. But different people have different requirements for chat, and they don't align. And network effects force people who have differing requirements to use the service with the most users which sucks.

For instance here are things that I require from any chat service that I use that discord completely falls flat at:

• Ability to run it on my linux machine without using an electron client (npm is a huge mess of supply chain attacks and I refuse to run any software that is likely to contain dependencies from it)
• Ability to run it on my AOSP phone which does not have any google play services installed
• Ability to write software to back up messages without fear of a company changing their API and breaking my backup system

I hate that Google is exerting even more control on the internet with their TLD, but I don't really think this attack is made all that much worse with .zip TLD. I can already bury a .com in a long URL and end it in .zip just fine like so:

https://github.com∕foo∕bar∕[email protected]/foo/bar/baz.zip

Or even use a subdomain to remove the @:

https://github.com∕foo∕bar∕baz.example.com/foo/bar/baz.zip

The truth is most people don't look much at URLs outside of a domain to verify its authenticity, at which point the .zip TLD does not do much more harm than existing domains do.

For mitigation, Firefox already doesn't display the username portion of the URL on hover of a link and URL-encodes it if copy-pasted into the url bar. It also displays the punycode representation when hovering or navigating to the second example.

Wtf does that even mean? Bigger cars are usually more durable in general.

This is pretty much what I expected from someone who likes large cars. The idea that their car does damage to the road doesn't even enter their mind. Note the immediate jump to "my property is more durable, fuck your/public property".

While I agree that first party systems suck, as someone with neither an iOS or Android device I personally prefer something work rather than a screen that says "connect iOS/Android".

Definitely agree, but your link is protected by cloudflare (yet another centralized service destroying the internet) and therefore I'm unable to get through because I have privacy.resistFingerprinting enabled on my browser so cloudflare is unable to determine I'm human I suppose.

I despire youtube and it's monopoly, and I think it get's an appropriate amount of hate on here and HN, but what confuses me to no end are the people who complain about youtube turn right around and constantly recommend cloudflare. Can someone explain what I am missing?

That's wild, I've never seen an upside down port.

I agree reversibility is better and am happy usb c will finally kill this meme.

I would have more sympathy for Youtube if 1. it wasn't the de-facto standard where essentially all video media gets uploaded to (which Youtube itself has done everything in its power to make happen) and 2. the company that owned it didn't also own the most popular phone OS, most popular search engine, most popular email provider, most popular ad network, most popular maps, most popular online office suite, most popular airline booking, 2nd most popular cloud hosting... The list goes on

Until a federated solution like peertube gains more traction I have no problem paying content creators directly via patreon, and do everything in my power to not pay Google a dime. Trust me, they can afford it just fine.
