Irish Unification of 2024, let’s gooooo

Yes, a quick web search later I haven’t found a readymade solution.

Setting the volume for specific outputs is not very hard, so maybe a middleground solution is to have two shortcuts. One for “game mode” and one for “music mode” or whatever.

The details depend a bit on the audiostack of your distro, but they all have a cli program with which you can change inputs/outputs and volume; e.g. pactl for pulseaudio and wpctl for wireplumber.

You’ll need a mechanism to find your triggers (I create a firefox tab with youtube/spotify, I have a music player active) and then you can act on it.

Detecting voice in an audiostream is probably technically possible, but that sounds pretty hard to setup.

Defend Trans Kids!

Why is that?

You’re welcome!

Wow, who would have thought?

It seems the AI hype is shrinking (or at least slowing down), since people are more and more critical of it: intellectual property, workers rights, power consumption, climate impacts, usefulness and more.

If you want more reading, I recommend these:

I can’t recommend Ed Zitron’s blog enough: Where’s your Ed at

He did an interview with Adam Conover a month ago, which was also really interesting.

The other blog I highly recommend is The Luddite, e.g. Why is there an AI hype?

I know that feeling all too wel…

Sorry I can’t help you with the solution you want, I don’t use flatpak.

It’s not really what you’re asking, but couldn’t you just visit the about:profiles page?

It’s not as nice as the dedicated profile manager, but it’s just as functional.

You could even set it as your default page, or add it to the bookmark bar.

IIRC, within RHEL it goes fedora (next major) -> centos stream (next minor) -> RHEL (current major.minor).

With Debian and its derivatives (e.g Ubuntu) this means that Debian-unstable corresponds to fedora, Debian-testing corresponds to CentOS stream and Debian-stable corresponds to RHEL. (Roughly of course).

Ubuntu is based off of some flavor of Debian and is therefore downstream of it: Debian (unstable I think) -> Ubuntu -> Ubuntu LTS.

But as far as which version has the newest packages then sure, your list is correct.

Thank you, was wondering what happened there.

Youtube tip everyone needs to now: remove the si query parameter, it’s not necessary and used for tracking

people’s configs on github?

They’re making a new browser engine from scratch in an open way, absolutely amazing!

I do have several questions:

Why would they use BSD instead of GPL? If you care about open-source so much, why would you make it possible for a company to run away with your fancy new engine?

Why are they creating a new browser, when even firefox has to struggle to keep some semblance of market share? I get that not every project needs to aim to be “the biggest”, and that even a smaller project (in terms of users), can be fun. It’s just that writing a browser engine that can handle the modern web seems like an almost Sisyphean task; which makes me wonder what their motivation(?) is.

Why the FLOSS are they using closed-source proprietary discord as their main communication channel?

That citrussy had Cloud acting most unwise.

It goes like this:

What?
