Have a look at https://www.getmailspring.com/

They stuck to 22.04 for almost 4 years before releasing 24.04

Wasn’t that because of the COSMIC rework? I.e. the created their on DE.

xdotool mentions dotool, never heard of it before.

I haven’t used in a few years, since I couldn’t get it to work the way I wanted. I just lived without it. I remember there being a hassle with installing it as well.
What makes you dislike it so much?

I wanted GrapheneOS but all Pixel phones have this huge ass camera house on the back.

While Linux is imperfect perfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward complicated.

Not so much in Linux as in tools I want on Linux being Windows only (or X11).

1. Microsoft’s Terminal App is my favourite console application, there are a ton of other applications to use but nothing hits just right in the way their application does.
2. GOG Galaxy. There is Heroic which is an excellent application the integrates really well with GOG but (the last time I used it) cloud sync was Windows only, so you had to run proton/wine to get cloud sync support even though the game had native Linux support. In the end, I just wish GOG could if not port their client to Linux, at least help Heroic Launcher make cloud sync work with Linux.
3. xdotool - I used it to automate hiding/showing my terminal window. I tried ydotool but could not get it to work.

Someone has asked this on stack overflow as well. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51150276/linux-random-6-0

From link:
It’s a Russian roulete in programming. $RANDOM returns a number between 0 and RAND_MAX. If the mod 6 on the returned number equals 0, the command after && (conditional execution) executes and it deletes the root directory, basically destroying everything you have on your disk with no normal way of retrieving it (the OS can’t function). If this doesn’t happen, the conditional execution after || happens and outputs You live.

So this is all user-based though?

I would assume so since it is HKEY_CURRENT_USER. I took a glance at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and the same keys were not there. Perhaps this would had to be run for each user at first login.

I am the only user of my work computer and it is not even managed, so PSADT would indeed be overkill. :-)

As far as I know, group policy changes the registry behind the scenes. I base this only on reading about how to do stuff were there was usually a group policy and reg solution. Anyway, my work computer is not managed so I have to do this stuff myself and I had to setup everything twice (fresh from repair and then I had to reinstall Windows because I messed up the WiFI driver) recently. The new outlook stuff annoyed me so I figured I could do the registry changes as a PowerShell script and share it here.

Can you recommend any games? I mine are about the same ages and the oldest one as already learned to play Minecraft on a computer, is learning Switch now. I never played those original classics since my parents didn’t get us a console until PS2.

They even released a statement regarding this.

I use KeePassXC + Strongbox (iOS) and sync it with Syncthing. I have a server always running so if I save a change on my computer, it will always be synced to the server. I use an iPhone 13 so I have to use möbius sync and it is not perfect, I have to manually open the app to make sure it syncs (something iOS background usage something). I also have an old Android phone that also syncs my kbdx file. You could have a RPI Zero (or any other kind computer) as a cheep backup solution just for Syncthing.

We need a tag for when the AI use is not known.

Here is a great project: https://github.com/sapristi/mmuxer

Mail Muxer is a Python tool that will monitor your Inbox, and filter incomming emails according to the given configuration.

Is AI used in any shape or form to develop this? No clue, I am not affiliated, but I would really like to post a promo about it and would need to tag it correctly.

I asked the same question it should be tagged as [AIP]+[hint] under these rules.

hint Human acts on the task and the AI surfaces suggestions passively.

Makes sense, thanks for taking the time to explain. <3

Thanks for taking the time to explain! It’s really interesting to hear about a way of like that I really can’t relate to. :-)

You complained about docker putting everything into a bag and I tried to argue that this approach was better because there is no need to consider library versions conflicting between apps.

But in practice idk if they always have actual hydraulic brakes. I’d still think they do, even if there’s also regenerative braking.

I thought most of the input from the driver (steering, breaking etc) had a layer of computer between the input interface (steering wheel etc) and the actual moving parts.

I’m thinking at some point it will probably be that you’ll need to hand over driving to a computer whilst in a city or smth.

That is an interesting solution on how a first push for self driving cars could look like.

I saw a documentary some years back about self driving trucks in Australia, a company used them instead because it was safer for a computer than a human to drive through the desert.

any use would mean a tag

So when I write code, I regularly ask an LLM how to do things. A few examples from my history is how I could overlap rows when generating PDF files (have a library for this), how I could assign an empty Char and to create a singleton class. A LLM never changes any of my files, I use it as super-search-engine.

Would that constitute an AI tag?

Where should the line be drawn for what is AI coded vs AS assisted (in some manner) and thus tagged?

XerahS is very openly coded with AI and should be tagged. But what about the recent debate about the use of LLM in cURL?

I’d say it is worse trying to find replacement for software not available on Linux and trying to adjust/learn the new workflow when you do.

On the other hand, a lot of software I wanted was primarily Linux, so that was nice when I switched.
