Wha-
People in the middle! Crushed yet again, oof!

(Thaaaaanksies! ^-^)

In reality it is of course the opposite, and that's terrible, too. Very frightening. Very terrifying.

I switched from Chrome (💀) to Proton and it's great! Proton's even trying to become a non-profit now, LOL.

Not having any comments on this post felt dystopian to me, sooo... here I am, commentin'.

I'm unfortunately not aware.

What I do know is that D-Bus (and not "DBus") apparently doesn't work with MIME types directly. I may have been misinformed here - but this is some information I have received.

Essentially, the data sent cannot be assigned a type or format.

On the web, all data sent by a server has a MIME type ("text/html", "image/png", "video/mp4").

Android's system for inter-process ("running program") communication, intents, does include.
...Even Windows does, with its whatever complicated APIs.
D-Bus doesn't, so Tuxes too, don't. ...Yet.

D-Bus is apparently also not secure enough. Probably not as bad as X11, but not good enough.

So far, KDE and GNOME have had their own " wrapper" systems to allow using D-Bus through a layer of their code to cover little inconveniences like this.

DBus is a system-wide messaging system. It's for stuff like notifications and system-wide events, ...or so do I think. But the aim is to allow all programs, running system-wide, to announce anything for others programs to react to.

This post requests people to use Varlink instead.

This is similar to the PulseAudio versus Pipewire and X11 versus Wayland situations.

Your username reminds me more of Java's Number::booleanValue() than JavaScript, LOL.

PS Please do tell how to read the ":::".
Thanks!

As a Debian daily-driver with occasional systemd problems, ...not really.
But like, this should be very possible.

Hi! Did you mean to reply to my comment...?

Debian without the CLI?

...What?
