Hey cool, it’s that a person who caused this mess telling me what to do about it.

Here’s what liz should do.

• Invent a time machine.

• Actually endorse Bernie instead of help the establishment beat him back.

You don’t get to lead the resistance as a collaborator liz.

We have so short memories we forget Biden’ rode in preaching accountability and on the heels of George Floyd’s murder. And then for at least some of us failed to deliver.

If you were listening, she gave plenty of reasons to send a message back right out of her own mouth.

Condemning a genocide would have been an easy win for one, but it’s one of a dozen. She ran a campaign to hug the center, she got all the voters that will get you because 70/240 million possible Americans aren’t persuadable. But it’s all she tried. Gun control, health care, labor rights, dropping death penalty reform from the platform, a campaign run to save us from Republicans… With a bipartisan panel involving Republicans.

I’m not for an instant insinuating there isn’t a problem with both race and sex in America, but the problem is the people fighting it from the top are idiots who can’t do basic math. There were plenty of votes to win among the 80-110 million people who are eligible, but didn’t.

No I don’t think they’re going to be better off, but the blame is not giving them the thing they want to vote for. They outnumber you. They would have beaten Trump.

It hooks into nearly every base utility I can’t live without (fzf, jq, helix, ripgrep). If you’re on windows im not sure you’re going to get a ton unless you live in WSL.

You can pick the editor it’ll open by default, which should be configurable with comparable syntax highlighting. Vi can pretty much look like whatever. I think it’ll default to vscode on windows.

Im not sure what you’d use it for but manage files, but I would have poked it and probably moved along while I was still on windows.

Edit: the other benefit you might not see has a lot to do with support of mime types.

The xdg open protocol will open whatever app is assigned to handle type locally. Which is probably why it defaults to editor.

I binned my copies of ranger and nnn when I found this last year. Its stellar.

Diskonaut is the only other one that stuck, of the new CLI file managers. hunting lost files from a recovered hard drive was a lot easier with directory visualization for whatever reason.

It has been years since I was paid to play on prod, bigger companies are smart enough to have change management.

I remember lots of messing with kerberos, and I don’t remember a lot of minutes passing without cursing.

It’s largely a tough nut to crack just because Microsoft is obnoxious about integration. Thunderbird can do it (or used to) in pieces with local AD forest access. I don’t know about remote IMAP access, but you can definitely sneaker net export. It’s the weird formatting on the import side I’m fighting.

I saw someone piping something to local programs through the office 365 electron app, but the least work probably ends run a VM and sync off of or just use that. I didn’t try wine, so others would have to verify emulation works.

Thanks for the data points!

I’m working on trying to pry local office software copies of outlook from the clutched hands of people stuck in the win 7 era.

Well done sync is a hell of a drug.

Evolution is another GUI client I don’t have a ton of experience with other than proofing it was stable. It exists.

Unironically the most powerful email clients i know on any platform are retro, mutt or emacs (last time I used notmuch, but there’s options). I never bothered to set it up since all the reading and half the writing I do are off my phone these days.

But I don’t know the juice is worth the squeeze starting out, that’s a bit of a hurdle. I’m really curious on use case, what are you missing?

I haven’t even begun to dig in to everything it can do, but chezmoi is in the arch repo.

Fits the bill.

Thank you for this, been hunting for a decent gesture typing option for awhile. Floris board had been decent, but the lack of actual suggestions was brutal to work around.

I don’t have a study to cite on long term bias, but Scripps used to be newsy which used to be at least serviceable for what amounted to AP syndication.

I didn’t have a clue they were still around till just this instant, but at least the foundation is not something that sprung up yesterday as a Russian puppet.

Things like this make me wish the traditionally anti government party wasn’t a bunch of loonies, because they’d be the ones pushing this to public conscious in a way that might move the needle.

I don’t doubt the intentions of (some) progressive members of government, but they’re outgunned and have a long list of priorities. Getting legislation to reverse this isn’t coming from corporatists, the infinite retention is going to seem like a feature to business.

I laughed a little because I’m not sure I ever grew out of the expectation of everything being a little broken. You are going to learn so much you could have done without.

On a more sober note I’m not sure adding a business model fixes the problem anymore.

If we paid for our anonymity like toll roads or subscriptions we box out people who can’t afford it. Commodity level information isn’t likely to be decreasing in value any time immediately.

If equitable access is also on the list, I don’t see anything but regulation and taxes getting you there. Just look at the steam store prices outside the first world and you have an idea for how poorly it could go.

Hopefully healthcare.

Welcome to the part of the Internet with a soul.

Seriously if you’re old enough to remember the Internet in terms of users weird passion projects you could do a lot worse than hanging off any part of activitypub.

There’s a lot more people than the old days with technical backgrounds, so there’s a lot more practical stuff.
