..And automatically triggers the printer, if run out of paper or ink, it should also place an order on Amazon

Gonna pull your leg here and say Android or, as I've recently taken to calling it, busybox + Linux + Google

Hopefully it gets easier so I can use n(o)curses

Amazing, I read this in a deep narrator voice and now I want a tale of a game engine developer living in a stereotypical dystopian cyberpunk society

I'm not ok with those things obviously, but I don't know enough about them to say what I think is all, I'm just talking about the "technical" aspect and that at a base level I think that the effort to make a more anonymous service is respectable, though I would have never used a service like this personally. Of course that also implies that anything passing through it should be harder to track and moderate, for good and bad

I think that what I was talking about is exactly why they say what they say, for people that want to have more privacy/antonymy it's there to tell them that the system itself is inherently limited so they can't expect to be completely safe and the provider can do whatever they want or need to do by law (and here it seems from what they say, if it is 100% true, that they have been trying not to comply for the users' sake) when you rely on their service.
About the non-refundability, it's true, though it's not any more suspicious than the service in itself trying what they can to keep the users' anonymity, so it is at least coherent, I guess it's really up to how much you trust them there, you know what you're getting into after all

Not to mention I don't know why anyone would use a provider that was happy to warn people they aren't trustworthy.

That's the most honest statement, because that's email by nature. If you don't encrypt anything yourself with PGP, emails will be readable by the server and there is no way around it, some providers have automatic encryption between users of the same provider (e.g. Proton) but that's most likely less than 1% of your email traffic, unless you really use it to chat (for which there are much better suited tools already), most the others will be on their popular service that doesn't do encryption at rest, let alone in transit (and I mean one where they don't hold the keys) and, if you want to contact them, you either put up with the fact that your conversation is exposed or you convince them to set up PGP

Oh ok, gotta try that, but does that mean that this only works while maintaining the PC on?

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

How did you do it? For example if I keep some apps open and reboot it should reopen them at startup, right? I tried that and it didn't work, but maybe I configured something wrong

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 4 points 1 week ago (11 children)

Me too, there are a lot of bug fixes here though. Anyways, has that ever worked for anyone?

Clearly some edge lord...

I see what you did there

 

I sometimes play games and also open my music player, but the sound from the game drowns out the music, so I need to go into the sound mixer on KDE and manually lower the game's volume every time.
I was wondering, is there a way to do this process automatically? As in setting up conditions like "if music is playing (some MPRIS API?) then lower all other apps' volumes)", maybe even crazier "if some app is outputting voice then set its volume back up and lower music app's volume or pause its playback altogether for some specified timeout that keeps being refreshed for as long as voice is heard".
I imagine the latter is a bit of a dream, but maybe for the first, even some quick sound profile selector would go a long way, say switching from "normal profile" to "background music profile", etc. which specify preconfigured volumes for those apps.
Is that a thing?

 

You may wonder:

It's 32 years old, so why does Tux look like a cub?

To that I say: It's 32 years... young!
Linux has never been more in shape than it is today :)

spoilerYou may title this as "The Curious Case of Benjamin ButTux", ooor not, that sounds suspiciously like "buttocks"


Side note

I wasn't expecting the birthday to come already, but, as it happens, I was working on my Tux design these past few days, so I felt hard pressed to release some celebratory art today when I found out.
You can see the little guy being built right now in my ~~laboratory~~ repository: https://codeberg.org/quazar-omega/tux-reloaded

I'll be posting a proper announcement when I feel like it's ready (if I don't get burned out before that X﹏X )
