  • Is there any plan to try to fix federation with hexbear.net?

    I hope not.

  • Grain of sand

    Data point

  • birdtray-config.json

    Edit the following strings:

     undefined
        
    "advanced/tbcmdline": [
            "/usr/bin/flatpak-spawn",
            "--host",
            "flatpak",
            "run",
            "--branch=stable",
            "--arch=x86_64",
            "--command=betterbird",
            "--file-forwarding",
            "eu.betterbird.Betterbird",
            "@@u",
            "%u",
            "@@"
        ],
        "advanced/tbprocessname": "betterbird",
        "advanced/tbwindowmatch": "Betterbird",
    
    
      

    In Birdtray under Advanced - Thunderbird command line - call Betterbird as follows:

    /usr/bin/flatpak-spawn --host flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=betterbird --file-forwarding eu.betterbird.Betterbird @@u %u @@

  • This is what populism, scapegoating, and hateful rhetoric have given us.

    Ich schäme mich für Deutschland.

  • BetterBird is great. I got it running via Birdtray under Cinnamon with some minor tinkering in the birdtray-config.json file.

  • Oh yes, Jeffrey Sachs, who's 2023 hot take on the Ukraine war so appallingly inaccurate that 340 of his economist colleagues wrote an open letter condemning him for it. They stated:

    Your interventions present a distorted picture of the origins and intentions of the Russian invasion, mix facts and subjective interpretations, and propagate the Kremlin’s narratives.

    When your world news comes from youtube, chances are you are getting the wool pulled over your eyes.

  • Lost or spammer?

  • Recently read this guy's posts here - good stuff on this topic:

    This most recent article is about LLM's specifically, but the previous articles deal in more fundamental terms with human agency in the modern tech world. Definitely a good read IMO.

  • Fair enough. I've done worse in my time as a keyboard jockey.

  • Why don't you use chained commands, or better yet simply create an alias that chains down/up, then use the alias instead?

  • Find someone else to argue with.

  • Is processing the audio being played back to add subtitles active?

    Not sure where you are confused. If any part of this feature is active by default I will disable it.

  • I'm ready to deactivate it if it comes with any active component.

  • I am not going to entertain your attempt at rationalization.

    I'll just say this: When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
