@nprofile1q... i'm kind of annoyed at the portals cuz we had a wayland proposal for an equally powerful api in wayland floating around, which nobody really gave attention

and around the time global shortcuts got in portals, i also had picked up that proposal and improved it, some discussion happened, then i got too busy

still have more improvements to do to it, but that won't come soon as well, i'm overloaded

@nprofile1q... being independent of windowing is kind of not really meaningful, though

programs still need to know to talk to the windowing system for every other kind of gui input and output, having this one kind of seat input separated makes little sense and just forces the windowing system and the client to talk via a side channel (in addition to the main channel, wayland or xorg) for no real reason except "portals are already there"

wait wait sony's going digital only, but only ~40% of countries can access the psn??

they're legit making it impossible for folks in africa, middle east, or some parts of southwest asia to buy games...

it's kind of depressing to me that the one major project i lead is kind of linux only due to every other major unix-like being a full OS over a kernel + components

linux going to shit, people start thinking about trying a *bsd, and openrc does support a few *bsds, but every single one ships with it's own service manager and i don't think no one would seriously non-experimentally use openrc there

the only projects that could be realistically and usefully ported, are stuff that i never even got to an mvp (wayland compositor & clients, irc software)

i'm awful at developing things tbh, anything i start goes nowhere, the only reason openrc is meaningful while being related to my name, is because i took over maintainership of smth that was already established

and now i have nowhere else to go with it, and scared what i'd be without it

You have time. We have time. Things will happen: a bubble burst, or a fork, or a brand new kernel fr...

i still find it funny when i sent an email to a govt place and forgot to disable my gpg signature

the person there ignored the contents of email 100% just to reply "i can't open the attached document please try again"

like... the body of the email didn't even mention any document

since i don't code in my server, i could replace nvim with a simpler vi impl i think, which would have less dependencies, and as a bonus ain't slopped

tbh my mail inboxes would probably be quite a lot more readable if replies i sent were stored in the same inbox as the message, instead of Sent

i could probably simulate that somewhat by always adding myself to Bcc plus some sieve rules, maybe -- as i don't think aerc can add a copy to $current_dir instead of a hardcoded one

honestly bless the posix manpages

`man yacc` > "please look at info"
`man yacc.1p` > all info right there
