So, I'm not alone... Thank you!

I'm also wondering whether I refused to respond to legitimate demands as well... But, well, let's say that if you phrase your demands like predatory journals/confs do, you should expect some silent treatments from academia...

I guess it only requires a few "recommendable" people to get lured into those conferences just because the occasion made them lower their guard (like Loren in the article). Add to that some people just fake-attending for the CV or the occasion to travel to touristy destination, and you can make quite a few bucks for a relatively low investment, I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If it kills your cells, it can't be bad, right?

Reminds me of this website happily reporting that you should eat curcuma because curcumin was shown (?) to be a possible cellular anti-proliferating... 🤦

Maybe it was that Merkel just didn't want to do state visits.

It's possible she didn't for the French president she had to deal with. As far as I remember she got along with Chirac, but for a short time, she despised Sarkozy, she didn't care much for Hollande and she was quickly disappointed by Macron.

First state visit, not first visit. A state visit is something particular with all the honours and the like.

Some people did, look up the Peer Community Journal. Backed up by more and more organisations.

I tried Windows ToGo on a few USB keys (including two high-speed ones), never managed to get something I could actually use that was not laggy AF, to the point it's not usable (dozens of minutes to boot, lags of entire minutes and so on). Did I do something wrong?

After exploring all solutions, and fighting a few things to build either Hawck or Espanso on openSUSE (I'm not a dev), I finally managed to find instructions to get Espanso to build (it's all there, fellow desperate random reader of the future). Since you can define the keyboard layout AND the variant of said keyboard you are using with Espanso, it's working as expected.

So now, I've associated ":$" with "|>", not sure how well that'll work in the future, but it's far easier to type on my keyboard at least... Also, I gained a tool to insert greek symbols and smileys everywhere that I didn't know I needed, but very quickly adopting! 😅

Thanks all for your help!

Hm, I don't think it works, because as far as I understand, wl-paste is outputting the content of clipboard into stdout, not actually "pasting" the content (or at least, I can't make it paste something outside of stdout, maybe I'm being thick).

Interesting take! Worth a shot!

 

OK, so I'm a heavy user of the native pipe in R which goes like this "|>". This is particularly painful to type on French keyboard, so on Plasma X11, I had a little script using xdotools to input |> when I pressed Ctrl+$. Very comfortable!

With the switch to Plasma 6, I'm now using Wayland because one needs to live with one time, I guess. But this means I lost the ability to use xdotools to do that.

I tried wtype, which seemed easy, but it doesn't seem to work in Plasma (and is not maintained any more?).

I tried ydotools, which is harder to set up (it requires running a deamon as root, which is not convenient and also defeats the security purpose of Wayland I guess? Maybe not, I'm no expert). The problem with ydotools is that it doesn't seem to be aware of the keyboard layout, and since my keyboard is French AZERTY, it outputs gibberish instead of, well, |>.

So, here's my question for you guys: do you know of any other (if possible, easy as wtype is/was) way to setup a string input associated to a shortcut?

Hi,

I would like to reorganise a big calendar into several smaller ones, e.g. based on the categories of events (say categories "Birthday" would be moved to a "Birthday" calendar and so on). I know it could some up with some highly convoluted awk script to filter the very unfriendly ICS format, but I thought I could simplify my life and use the work of some nice person who certainly had come up with a tool to manipulate ICS files (GUI or CLI), right?

It turns out, I can find many small scripts or Github repos named "icsfilter" or the like, but nothing seemingly quite established.

That's why I turn to this great community: anybody who was confronted to the same problem and could recommend a nice utility to filter ICS files?

Thanks a lot!

 

Hi there! I'm trying Boost currently, liking a lot so far. Something I'm missing from Jerboa is the ease to recognise the community from a post using the community icon. I see no option to get that in Boost. Am I missing something?
