#PipeWire support would be nice too but I have separate mac mini just to work as a dedicated studio so it is not as big deal.

I've been using #GNOME in my #Debian #desktop mostly because #XFCE is lagging in #Wayland. Can't wait for 4.20 release, which is expected to have Wayland support :-) I like XFCE because it does not get in the way but offers all the stuff and actually matters.

the problem here is that the sales figures for such devices is insignificant but it still affects the quality of an asset that you deploy in volumes to your data center.

@molly0xfff in email based projects (like most of core internet building blocks are) commit messages are of great quality because commit message is equivalent to the description put to a github pull request.

strong binding between the commit message and description could fix a lot in Github style UX. i.e. you would edit the commit message, which would map to summary and description fields of the github "pull request". if you would force push based on comment, that would also update those fields.

and fields should imho read-only, not editable ones.

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...

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.
