If you have an email workflow that you like then something like rss2email might be an option. You simply feed your incoming rss into your email. You’ll want to auto-tag (or otherwise organize) these emails to keep them separate from regular emails. Then you use your usual email tools to organize them further.
I’ve been using such a setup for the past 15 years.
Autotype is already solved - ydotool, wtype and dotool exists (and possibly others as well).
These tools work by creating a virtual keyboard so they don’t let you send input to a specific window. The input goes to whatever happens to be focused at the moment. This makes them less reliable than the X11 equivalents and unusable for tasks where you need to guarantee that the right window gets the input.
Those of us who use the autocd feature of shells “execute” directories all the time. For example I’d type just /usr/bin RET if I wanted to cd to /usr/bin.

There are already almost a hundred extension protocols and you need dozens of them to implement just barebones desktop functionality. If you look under the surface the Wayland ecosystem is arguably already more complex than X11 ever was and it’s only going to get worse.
There is a fairly compact Thinkpad USB keyboard which would be much easier to connect if you can make it fit somehow. It has the trackpoint but no trackpad.
Yeah, I ended up doing something similar but using my own Dockerfile where I specified ebook-convert as the entry point.
Yep, I realized that as soon as I posted and tried to ninja-delete but too late :)
If I sum up the numbers from March 2022 it’s 26% AMD and 38% NVIDIA.
I would like the ability to do a CLI-only build since I only really use the ebook-convert command. Never felt the need to “manage” my ebooks.

Small bug: changing the sort-order loses the filter settings.
But looks great overall! I’ve already rediscovered some of my older favorites and looking forward to finding new stuff too.
Also, any chance of making the filtered/sorted list downloadable as a CSV? In some cases this would be more convenient than paging through the web UI.
It’s a very useful tool too, I use it semi-regularly. Besides being RPN it’s also arbitrary precision so for example 2 10000 ^ p gives the right result.
Maybe other tools support this too but one thing I like about xdiskusage is that you can pipe regular du output into it. That means that I can run du on some remote host that doesn’t have anything fancy installed, scp it back to my desktop and analyze it there. I can also pre-process the du output before feeding it into xdiskusage.
I also often work with textual du output directly, just sorting it by size is very often all I need to see.
The App Store and Android Market launches were pretty damn close. The iOS app-store launched July 2008 and the first Android consumer device (G1) shipped September 2008 and it had the market from day 1.
Worth noting that iOS users had to wait a full year for the app store after the iPhone 1 launch because Jobs didn’t want it at first. I had both devices fairly early on and on the iPhone side we were running “apps” on jailbroken devices months before the app store existed.
I am on Gentoo. It’s not really a goal for me to stick with it, I am pretty pragmatic about these choices. What I value about Gentoo is the flexibility and the lack of magic. The ability to fully own and understand my system. I know what’s installed, what’s running and why. It’s up to me if I want to use systemd or something else, do I want pulseaudio, pipewire or just plain ALSA, X11 or Wayland, what type of desktop environment to use (if any). I can easily apply local patches if needed, I can build a package from git or stick to some old version if I prefer. I know how I want things to work and Gentoo lets me get there. If I found a better way to do it I’d switch. Maybe something like NixOS someday but I am not ready for those trade-offs yet.
The reason I’ve been maintaining the same image for so long is that I didn’t have a reason to rebuild it. I’ve always been able to make the changes I needed. I re-did the image when going from 32 to 64 bit because it was less work.
That’s something that beginners do to entertain themselves. My desktop image has been rolling forward since 2013 (when I switched to 64 bit userspace) and it has survived through several generations of hardware.
The last paragraph notes this is not X11 specific, Wayland is affected too it’s just that a bug prevents it from working when the FF window is not focused.

they kinda did.
The comment was talking about dired which is a file manager that runs inside Emacs and Emacs can be used in terminal mode.
Any naming convention is fine as long as it’s meaningful to you. But it’s a good idea to keep your own repos separate from the random ones you clone from the internet.
