JTskulk ,

I hope they copy the web interface too. I stopped using GitHub for my dumb little projects when Microsoft bought them and I can't be bothered to learn git. I will gladly host my future projects there if it's good.

JTskulk ,

I'm not an engineer and I am employed, I do a little scripting for fun. Software developers should learn how to use git but I'm not one :)

JTskulk ,

The web interface is great and easy to use. I liked just dragging and dropping updated files to it, very simple.

JTskulk ,

I don't understand all 3 :)

TIL about Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment considered by some to be an "information hazard" - a concept or idea that can cause you harm by you simply knowing/understanding it ( en.wikipedia.org )

Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to...

I mean he ruined a man's entire family to win a bet with someone he doesn't even like, being this oblivious is on-brand for God.

Microsoft Chose Profit Over Security and Left U.S. Government Vulnerable to Russian Hack, Whistleblower Says | ProPublica Investigation ( www.propublica.org )

Former employee says software giant dismissed his warnings about a critical flaw because it feared losing government business. Russian hackers later used the weakness to breach the National Nuclear Security Administration, among others....

My company banned CCleaner from our computers because they got hacked once and didn't know about it. Microsoft is guilty of the same negligence with an added twist of corruption and greed! Think they'll ban all Microsoft software too?

JTskulk ,

According to my company, yes: https://thehackernews.com/2018/04/ccleaner-malware-attack.html

If startx and everything else works fine, my guess is that sddm or whatever login manager you're using is messed up. Maybe reinstall/reset its configuration files and go from there.

JTskulk ,

Have you tried just adding your tweaked version as a non-steam game and then running that in Proton?

JTskulk ,

Running it in Proton is so quick and easy, you might as well try it once. You've got nothing to lose. All you do is add non-steam game, then force it to use proton if you don't force proton on all games by default like I do.

JTskulk ,

Congrats on getting it running then :)

Where did the "Window Action" feature go? ( docs.kde.org )

KDE 5 had a feature in the keyboard shortcuts in settings where you could set a Window Action as a trigger instead of a keyboard shortcut (Documentation in the link). This means that KDE would do something every time a certain window appeared. This was very useful, my use case was changing the TeamViewer authorization prompt to...

JTskulk OP , (edited )

I did a workaround by editing a script I found and don't understand using xprop, xwininfo, and xdotool. I probably should have mentioned that I'm using X, most of this stuff doesn't work on Wayland. Here's my script so far:

#!/bin/bash

xprop -spy -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | grep --line-buffered -o '0[xX][a-zA-Z0-9]\{7\}' |
while read -r id; do
    class="`xprop -id $id WM_CLASS 2> /dev/null | grep TeamViewer`"
    if [ -n "$class" ]; then
        if xprop -id "$id" | grep -q 'WM_NAME(STRING) = "TeamViewer Authentication"'; then
            echo "key Tab
            key space
            key shift+Tab
            key shift+Tab
            key Down
            key Tab
            type {my.username}
            key Tab
            key ctrl+u"| xdotool -
            # wait for the window to be closed
            xprop -spy -id $id > /dev/null 2>&1
            fi
    fi
done

It spits out errors after the window closes because I think it's trying to get windows properties from the now closed window, but it gets the job done!

Edit: changed the script to be much smaller and not show errors.

JTskulk OP ,

DevilsPie is the name of the software I couldn't remember.

JTskulk OP ,

The spacing looks fine here, I copied and pasted it into Kate and it worked fine, maybe you're on a phone or something. Here's a link to my latest version:

JTskulk ,

Why does the headline say "Crypto" but then snippet says "cryptocurrencies"? Do people not realize these are not the same thing? The inventor of Linux does believe in crypto, that's why it's in Linux!

JTskulk ,

I'm doing my part!
