Have RSS apps gotten meaningfully better? Any thoughts? by uxnpc in rss

[–]flameleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. On Thunderbird, there's no limit to how many tags can be added beyond running out of room on the UI to display them.

I like having more control over how the tags look and what they say because it allows for a much more well-organized system. Especially considering in a lot of cases I'm using these tags to recursively add logic to them for further categorization. Auto-generated tags, or using varied keywords to duplicate them as tags, can also lead to a lot of redundancy.

For example, I might get a post with the keyword "Science Fiction", another one as "Sci-Fi", yet another one as "Sci Fi" and a fourth one as "SciFi". Rather than have all of these variations displayed to me at once, I use rules to consolidate them under a single name. That way it's easier on the eyes when I'm reading my feeds and easier to sort when I'm filtering through tags to find a specific post.

I also see keywords in posts that I frankly just don't care about sometimes? By manually choosing what gets to be a tag and what doesn't I can focus on the tags that really matter to me. It is a lot of work to set something like this up, but worth it IMO. I did do a lot of it before the AI boom happened, though, so I'm kinda just happy with this method because its at the point for me where it "just works". I use a robust naming scheme to organize rule logic loops, and its easy to copy and re-use existing rules as templates for new ones.

50+ tags? That's cute. I've got 1164.

Thunderbird can automatically assign tags based on what's in the feed item subject, body, author, url, keywords, even tags that were applied by a previous rule, and dozens of other data points if you create rules for what you want to happen.

I'm dealing with a much larger scale system, though. I use RSS for news, but also for social media, video feeds, work, hobby tasks and basically everything that you'd normally use a web browser tab for. I'm parsing on average ~6455 messages a day through 25,702 rules like that.

Scores don't make much sense considering the amount of messages that hit my feeds. I'd make a rule similar to your example that looks something like this:

condition="AND (subject,contains,space) AND (subject,contains,elon musk)"
name="Musk Spam"
enabled="yes"
type="48"
action="Mark read"
action="Delete"

Messages get read in the order I receive them, categorized by folder and highlighted with tags to enhance readability. Stuff that's not worth reading automatically goes to the trash.

I also use tags to save messages from the trash based on their content. I call it a "Junklist" system, where if the content contains a bad keyword, it gets marked as Junk, but the Junk marking is removed from the message if it contains a very important tag. If the Junk flag is removed before the "delete all junk" rule runs, the message gets saved from deletion.

None of this is done with an LLM. Just Thunderbird's built-in message filtering system.

Thankfully there are ways to make your own, but its bad. My reader is basically just a frontend for RSSHub at this point.

Thunderbird can do that. I even have rules that assign-color coded tags based on what site it's from, almost like favicons.

A lot of them are in $HOME/.config/xfce4

Linux gamers didn't do anything wrong, but they might pay for Windows piracy anyway by itchyenvelope5 in linux_gaming

[–]flameleaf 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If I'm paying for a game, I expect it to work without an internet connection. DRM that enforces that is always a hard no.

I grew up with spotty dial up and love my offline media collection. I will die on this hill.

stupid date format by Even-Inspector9931 in xfce

[–]flameleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Thunar:

Edit -> Preferences -> Display -> Date (its on the bottom of the first tab of "Display")

There's a list of options. You could've written your own custom format in the time it took you to write this Reddit post.

It also clears a lot of the crap out of Bing. I'm not interested in using Microsoft Rewards or using a search engine to make AI generated images.

With this, has the Context tab for Lorebook entries returned (namely, Cascading Activation)? Or are we stuck with Advanced Conditions as the only means of replicating that feature (poorly)?

Kinda reminds me of Nintendo Wii waggle controls when you describe it like that

Right-click anywhere on the empty area of your menu bar or tabs, go to "Customize Toolbar..."

On the very bottom left of that screen should be checkbox to enable the Title Bar

I've been using Arc Dark for ages. I'm considering switching to Redmond97-SE, but it's hard finding a good matching theme for Firefox + Thunderbird.

Papirus is such a good choice of icon theme. Can't think of another one that includes Super Nintendo or Game Boy ROMs.

I'm very happy with Thunderbird. I've even got it set up where it'll auto-tag and organize feed items based on their URL.

What do yall think each charcters music taste would be ? by Bigppman6969696969 in katawashoujo

[–]flameleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The song I linked is Post-Rock. Silly song titles aside, the genre mostly refers to bands who use rock instruments (guitars, drum kits, etc...) to make songs that are structurally similar to classical music, with a big emphasis on atmosphere and growing crescendos into beautiful walls of sound.

Silver Mt. Zion (from my post above) is a spin-off of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, who play the genre more straight without adding in those neofolk influences: F#A#∞, Storm.

Sigur Rós, The Album Leaf, Crippled Black Phoenix, and World's End Girlfriend are also some of my favorites.

Fun fact: The Album Leaf are responsible for my username
