2023-03-08 15:32:37 <gauthier> only it's the other way around, I run xfce4-power-manager, but it does not seem to launch notifyd. But I'm still on Ubuntu 20.04, so maybe that will start happening when I upgrade to 22.04 (might as well wait for 2024 now) and apt upgrades xfce4-power-manager
2023-03-08 15:32:58 <gauthier> I'll keep that in mind if xfce4 tries to take over in the future. Good info.
2023-03-08 15:33:30 <gauthier> quick effective answer to my problem, thanks again!

2023-03-08 15:38:14 <fizzie> Last I looked at Chrome, it had some (minimal) requirements for the notification daemon, and as long as it met those (dunst certainly would) it would use the system one by default.
2023-03-08 15:38:29 <geekosaur> yep
2023-03-08 15:38:56 <geekosaur> we're trying to figure out why at some point a different notification daemon wasn't running (I just suggested dunst)
2023-03-08 15:39:44 <gauthier> can't trayer to that?
2023-03-08 15:40:01 <gauthier> or maybe I had another power manager that did that.
2023-03-08 15:40:17 <geekosaur> maybe, I don't run trayer. but I thought that was the notification area, not notification windows
2023-03-08 15:40:22 <gauthier> oh, I used to have gnome-power-manager
2023-03-08 15:40:35 <geekosaur> (which are confusingly named)
2023-03-08 15:41:06 <gauthier> it is the popup notifications, I don't think it would be relevant for trayer to touch these, but you never know.
2023-03-08 15:42:17 <gauthier> or maybe xmobar... but most likely some locally install package, which I don't remember. Maybe I had some notifyd on the computer that created that memory in my brain.
2023-03-08 15:42:54 <gauthier> Anyway, it's not very important how it worked years ago, I'm happy to have them back now! And happy to understand why Chrome still had them
2023-03-08 15:44:40 <geekosaur> for a long time chrome didn't even try to use a notification daemon, it used its own always. that was annoying when chrome and the native notification daemon displayed something at the same time
2023-03-08 15:45:38 <geekosaur> (which, because I have a calendar applet in chrome and a calendar program in MATE, happens regularly for me)
2023-03-08 16:09:12 <gauthier> the thing that annoys me the most with the Chrome notifications is that I cannot make them silent. I want to see them, but I don't want them to go DING in the open office. I have my system notifications silent for that reason, but that did not apply, for a reason that I only now understand.
2023-03-08 16:09:33 <gauthier> The fact that chrome did not let me set the sound is... astonishing.
2023-03-08 16:16:29 <geekosaur> there may be some hidden setting

2023-03-08 18:23:51 <kora9> geekosaur: (that is, running individual xfce programs is no longer supported and may launch the full DE) <-- I didn't know that! I used to use xfce4 a lot, many moons ago
2023-03-08 18:24:30 <geekosaur> yeh, it changed a number of years back. they used to support picking and choosing stuff instead of running the full DE
2023-03-08 18:24:43 <geekosaur> I think only LXDE/LXQt supports that now
2023-03-08 18:25:30 <geekosaur> it's just getting harder and harder to give users a "desktop environment" without having everything tightly tied together
2023-03-08 18:26:05 <liskin> Hm, are those dings actually related to the notification itself? I thought it's always the website playing a sound at the same time it sends a notification
2023-03-08 18:26:50 <liskin> I've had to disable sounds in every single website that notifies. Which isn't many in my case, but still m
2023-03-08 18:26:54 <geekosaur> notifications that go through the notification manager don't separately ding

2023-03-08 19:16:11 <kora9> liskin: Do you have a script for the rofi emoji input you can share? :)
2023-03-08 19:22:59 <liskin> kora9: https://github.com/liskin/emoji-rofi-menu
2023-03-08 19:23:51 <liskin> Hm, used to be a fork, but looks like the original author left GitHub
2023-03-08 19:29:03 <kora9> liskin: Thanks :)
2023-03-08 19:29:22 <kora9> I hadn't considered using rofi for that, but that's a cool use case!
2023-03-08 20:02:45 <liskin> Do take a look at the rofi-dmenu-frece bit as well
2023-03-08 20:02:55 <liskin> Gives you frecency sort
2023-03-08 20:04:16 <liskin> It's a pile of hacks though, my all dotfiles are.
2023-03-08 20:04:32 <geekosaur> you should see mine 🙂
2023-03-08 20:05:07 <liskin> I seriously doubt you'd have more bash in there than I have
2023-03-08 20:05:23 <liskin> But let's not turn this into a dick measuring contest :-D

2023-03-09 06:56:16 <kora9> geekosaur: I did as you suggested and tried using vanilla xmonad dual monitor switching for a while, I actually quite like it now that I know to expect the workspace swaps! While independent workspaces are quite intuitive, it can get messy when you move from single screen to dual monitor a lot (such as with a laptop). xmonad's method handles that much better
2023-03-09 06:59:58 <kora9> geekosaur: "it's just getting harder and harder to give users a "desktop environment" without having everything tightly tied together" <- While I understand the need for that, I'm worried for the future since it seems wayland focuses so heavily on being for DE's, with so much of what made Xorg flexible slashed. It seems like it's going to be harder and harder to give users the option of having entirely customizable environments like with xmonad

2023-03-09 07:48:37 <liskin> but then we aren't exactly doing much to keep people engaged :-/
2023-03-09 07:49:00 <liskin> or making good use of the money
2023-03-09 07:52:38 <Solid> liskin: It's definitely because of the PayPal thing
2023-03-09 07:52:46 <Solid> I've seen other project going through the same stuff
2023-03-09 07:56:18 <liskin> anyway, the estimate is still $600+/m
2023-03-09 08:13:09 <Solid> I think we're making good use of the money; financing ZuriHac for example was a great thing last year (if only for mental health reasons :)
2023-03-09 08:13:29 <Solid> If you want to see the numbers go down I can also send another invoice at some point :P

2023-03-09 09:24:39 <mc47> Solid: what's the PayPal thing?
2023-03-09 09:36:08 <Solid> mc47: GitHub Sponsors stopped accepting PayPal as a payment option
2023-03-09 09:36:32 <Solid> So if you support anyting via PayPal, your sponsorship will be cancelled when the next donation is "due"
2023-03-09 09:42:27 <mc47> Oh
2023-03-09 09:42:28 <mc47> that sucks
2023-03-09 09:43:07 <liskin> Solid: I don't insist on seeing the numbers go down, but if someone wrote a blogpost about what we're doing and how that money enables that, people might feel better about it :-)
2023-03-09 09:43:32 <liskin> no pressure whatsoever though
2023-03-09 09:43:51 <liskin> I'm just writing a career development plan that my employer/boss asked for
2023-03-09 09:44:19 <liskin> item number 1 in long term career goals is to have less than 4 day work week :-D
2023-03-09 09:44:40 <liskin> but until that's achieved, I don't think I'll get to writing such blog posts :-/
2023-03-09 09:45:51 <Solid> :)
2023-03-09 09:46:14 <liskin> speaking of mental health, I just returned from a 5-day holiday with the less-competitive/more-party folks of the London inline speed skating scene, and I feel like it was an instant burnout cure
2023-03-09 09:46:57 <liskin> I think I might be going to ZuriHac after all, and I'll skate there from the airport!
2023-03-09 09:47:08 <Solid> hah
2023-03-09 09:47:09 <Solid> very nice
2023-03-09 09:47:38 <liskin> dunno why I stopped doing this, it's so practical
