TIL: It is 2026 and you still can not run Snaps in strict mode on Debian-based systems
Debian 13:
$ uname -r
6.12.88+deb13-amd64
$ snap debug sandbox-features|grep confinement
confinement-options: classic devmode
$ snap debug confinement
partial
$ aa-enabled
YesUbuntu (24.04):
$ uname -r
6.8.0-117-generic
$ snap debug sandbox-features|grep confinement
confinement-options: classic devmode strict
$ snap debug confinement
strict
$ aa-enabled
YesWhat does this mean, you ask? Well, basically every Snap package you thought was running isolated in it's own little sandbox were running unconfined the whole time. You removed the
:home connection, so the proprietary app wasn't able to access your home directory? Well, it could have exfiltrated everything in the meantime.How is this not a bigger deal and how are Snaps ever to become mainstream when even today, more than 10 years after the introduction of snaps, you can't run them sandboxed on a huge portion of Linux distros?

What AI, sorting according to index is no AI task.

in reply to MindfulMaverick • • •Unless there's more information on what kind of files and what kind or sorting needs to be done, this sounds like something that could be done with a simple shell script.
(I wouldn't trust an ai agent to do it with accuracy, but I'm the kind of luddite that doesn't trust an ai agent at all.)

in reply to mlfh • • •Even 'ls' has an assload of sorting options - by last accessed time, last modified time, yadda
A simple shell or Perl script will do if you want to sort media files by metadata, an AI can easily code one up for you.
But you sure don't need to do a few billion matrix multiplications every time you do this sort routine.
