[05:04] schestowitz[TR][05:04] schestowitz[TR]Flatpaks are amazing and all that. But application sandboxing, so an application cannot do anything it wants, is a challenge even more so when you have two applications that need to talk to each other. Perhaps it shouldnt come as a surprise that native-messaging sandboxing support for Flatpak has been in development for over a year. To celebrate its anniversary I thought Id write down how [05:04] schestowitz[TR] to drill a native-messaging sized hole into the sandbox. This enables the use of native messaging even without portal integration, albeit also without sane degrees of sandboxing.

[05:08] schestowitz[TR][05:08] schestowitz[TR]In 1918, there was a civil war in Finland, and society was divided in half. After the war, there were orphans and children whose parents had been imprisoned. These children were raised by the winning side to be properly re-educated and raised under a different ideology. There was a lot of criticism from the losing side.

[05:33] schestowitz[TR][05:33] schestowitz[TR]Rebecca Vincent, the director of operations and campaigns for RSF, declared, We followed all rules this morning. We were there very early with all required documentation. Without even checking our documentation, we were told that we would not be allowed in.
[05:33] schestowitz[TR]The first official that we spoke to said that they had received intelligence that we were journalists, and therefore we would not be allowed to visit, Vincent added. No further discussion was possible. We were informed that the decision had been taken by the prison governor directly.
