Just adding to this (in order not to cause confusion): this merge request is not yet aimed to be merged, only one that removes desktop files for the session :-)

@Conan_Kudo btw, do you know has futex2 implementation of WaitForMultipleObjects also landed to the upstream wine? It has been for long time the main reason for sticking to wne forks for me (such as wine-tkg).

i wonder where #wine’s wayland support is at though. if i recall correctly there at least used to be a separate wayland fork of wine…

wine matters a lot if you e.g. want to run #yabridge, a framework for hosting Windows #VST plugins in Linux.

Do not see even removing the code such a huge deal as you still have #xwayland. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/merge_requests/98 #gnome #wayland

deeply saddened by the news from #israel. i've played in parties in the area and met some of the people who are killed or kidnapped by #hamas. many victims are also close friends of my friends or even their family. no political stance in this just feels somewhat paralysed by the situation over there.

@egnun @kaiengert @thunderbird Yeah and not to say that TB is garbage! I use it a lot as a better corporation end point that Outlook :-) So highly regarding the project overally, just not scale everything that I do that's all.

The reason I think this should be a native feature and not addon is this addon for TB:

https://github.com/Frederick888/external-editor-revived/wiki

I do not know much about addons (or more like know almost nothing) but this does give a hint that either:

  • API for addons should be extended.
  • Should be a native feature.

Because having to run external program is a bit too much at least for me. Not too use friendly at least…

It's what I can do in macOS :-) It is working solution for answering few important emails but would be nice to have something like hitting Ctrl+Shift+E to launch the editor and it would sync up when coming back. There is a plugin for this in Evolution.

E.g. in LKML (not the main list of course but a selection of kernel subsystems) my daily consumption goes at minimum dozens of emails, not uncommon to have 100 emails for one day. In that sort of scenario copy-pasting starts to itch too much...

@kaiengert @egnun @thunderbird

Thanks a bunch. I'm actually going to try these for macOS machines for which would nice to get some GUI email client still capable of responding to LKML messages :-)

If there was really easy and hands-on way to get external editor configuration (built-in, not addon) I would consider switching from Evolution on my Linux machines. Would be nice to have universal and OS-independent GUI for sure.

@kaiengert @egnun @thunderbird Appreciate the GnuPG integration but the main reason I've never used TB is that it lacks native support for configuring external text editor. There's some addons but they really are not really in production quality. Neither it has a default of using fixed-width font for plain text emails (or I have not found it) so in its current state it is not a great choice for reviewing patches.

@jjdavis I've read some scientific publications for my entertainment that discuss about changes in brain in case of absolute power. in about 7'ish years there's actually irreversible physiological changes in the brain, which means that literally anyone can become a tyrant in the right circumstances. ultimate power is a drug that can screw up brain chemistry just like any other drug.

@wamserma tbh security questions should be banned from this planet. it is a backdoor as a feature, and nothing else.

@jjdavis That makes me wonder why he is then hangin' out at the borders with a stetson like it was his business in the first place, which is sort of consistent tho because he also seems to have lot to say on Ukraine's borders. He should focus IMHO on SA's borders and let others take care of their own business...

I always wonder why in politics admitting that you got something wrong is the most epic failure you can ever make. Politicians are dishonest because public hates politicians who are honest sort of. It is a weird and wacky world we're living... #politics

@liw @mjg59 TBH, liking Linux would be a disadvantage for a kernel developer ;-)
