I get what you are saying and understand the balance between convenience and security, however most end users don’t care. Their thing stops working and they complain “Wayland bad, my workflow now broken!”, nothing you can do.
I’m not the OP, but tbh the only thing that doesn’t work for me is the apps that replace your input by the same thing in another layout.
For example, you have 2 keyboard layouts, type something and realize afterwards that you forgot to change the keyboard layout. You press the hotkey to trigger a script that removes your input, translates it into a different keyboard layout and pastes it back.
People who only use 1 keyboard layout don’t even think about this issue and usually don’t know such software exists.
I miss it a lot. There’s 1 script that works in wayland but it’s pretty buggy and it’s not in arch repos, so I don’t trust it too much. X11 had many options.

Linux•What are the silliest reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?

“I could install linux, but what am I gonna do on Linux?” (Note: Some people just think OS is an amusement park)

Open Source•Meet Journiv! A Self-Hosted, Privacy-First Journaling App (Day One/Apple Journal Alternative)
1·26 days agoWhat exactly do you mean by “sustainable”, paid/premium features? Ads? Subscription plans for users that ask you to host the server instead of self-hosting themselves?
Yes I understand FOSS is a lot of time and effort, thank you :-)

Open Source•Meet Journiv! A Self-Hosted, Privacy-First Journaling App (Day One/Apple Journal Alternative)
2·26 days agoI did run docker, specifically the portainer interface, not just the docker itself. While it’s nice and easy to use, I felt like docker obscures things behind some abstractions, for example my native services store data simply as directories and files somewhere under /srv, while docker containers keep data somewhere in docker’s directory as some storage objects with randomly generated names.
I also completely lost control of my firewall, for example if I can just run iptables and see exactly which ports do what, I can easily read and understand line by line each firewall rule, when I use docker containers it’s all some gibberish to me, ports get opened and closed and mapped to container ports (I guess) without me ever touching iptables, and I have no idea what is happening with my server anymore.
So yes, I tried portainer and dropped it, if you do native packages and an android app in f-droid, let me know, I really like your project so far. I can even stand the docker thingy, but we need an android app with proper sync and caching, because not everyone has internet connection 24/7. We may want to run an app, sync with backend, then add entries during a flight. Browser won’t solve this.

Open Source•Meet Journiv! A Self-Hosted, Privacy-First Journaling App (Day One/Apple Journal Alternative)
1·26 days agoI’m probably blind or something, but I don’t see a list of supported platforms anywhere on the website and in readme on github, also no “downlaods” page or section. It says it’s cross platform, but does it actually have a desktop version (windows/linux) or is it just a browser SPA, and does it have a dedicated android app?
Sorry don’t mean to be rude, I really wish it has a linux native app and an android app, hopefully in f-droid, if yes then it’s perfect, but for now it’s not clear to me.
Use ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD) and they will be properly ordered.

Linux•The Linux Kernel Looks To "Bite The Bullet" In Enabling Microsoft C Extensions
181·27 days agoBecause they wanted drama and clickbaity headline.
For static expansions (no placeholders that change) I just use Compose key sequences, it’s free and it works out of the box on pretty much any linux variant.
I don’t remember why, but I chose trydactil. If you don’t like vimium, check it out.
I’m not sure RSS readers are supposed to solve your issue. They are readers — they allow you to read stuff you subscribed to.
Discovering stuff you want to subscribe to is an entirely different task. Idk, try searching blogs or sites that interest you or ask others what they follow.
If my RSS app would “suggest” me articles not from my feed I would uninstall it immediately.
Inoreader might have something like that, probably that’s why I stopped using it.

Linux•Flatpak 1.17 Adds Support For Sideloading From OCI Images, flatpak+HTTPS URIs
2·1 month agoWhat exactly is “sideloading”?
Couldn’t make it work, unfortunately.
Can I just save this as an html file (with all js inside, in a script element) and use this single html file to work with pdfs (after opening it in a browser)?
This is unfortunate but anyone who speaks Russian will tell you this app name is hilarious.
This looks great, but if everything is client side, then why do I need a browser to access this?
Yes, tabs in Sidebery are “tree style”, you can build them into trees and collapse/expand them, also unload, group, bookmark whole branches and trees.
Vertical tabs are, well, just tabs stacked vertically. They are not nested, do not provide context, can’t be collapsed/expanded (or folded/unfolded, whatever you prefer). Sidebery just has many more features than just “woohoo you can see tabs vertically instead of horizontally” Firefox now provides.

RSS - Really Simple Syndication•Question about RSS's purpose...I feel like I'm missing something.
3·2 months agowhat’s the difference between me just bookmarking the sites that I want and then just going there?
I have 98 feeds. Is it easier to open an aggregator that checks 98 sites for me and lets me see what’s new, than to open 98 bookmarks and look for what’s new myself?















What’s the point of clipping stuff? I keep only personal stuff in my vault (for example, things that happened to me, whatever I know about people that are close to me, places I like, events I want to remember). Because if it’s something you found on the internet… it means when you need it again, you can go and find it on the internet again?
Unless you have a constant paranoia that things you liked will disappear from the internet one day, in this case I would download and archive stuff, which I don’t consider “clipping” anyway and don’t store in my vault. I treat Obsidian vault as my diary, it’s for personal things, not to shove thousands of publicly available things into it.
Sorry I don’t mean to be rude, I’m genuinely curious about what are you trying to achieve and what problems you are trying to solve and why does it need to involve obsidian?
