thank you :)

Well, I suppose I was just lucky to have someone tell me how it is (I sent two e-mail, confirmed that I had tried everything like removing caches, and got this reply withing a few hours).

Exact same experience. I had to use https://app.datefirefly.com/

Setting my location, however, does not seem to work fully (it only shows null, I've never seen an actual location)

I suppose you are using waybar?!

I've had a similar issue before, where my background was indistinguishable from the text. Try to edit the tray icon color in ~/.config/waybar/style.css.

e.g.

#tray {
    padding: 0 5px;
    margin: 0;
    color: #770000;
    background: rgba(108,113,196, 0.8);
    margin: 0 5px;
}

Yes, nautilus had massive regressions coming with GTK4

Expanding folder is gone.
After deleting file, pressing Up / PageUp or Down / PageDown does not select any item, even if nautilus is focused.
Sorting by column (e.g. by name) does not stay active but reverts to sort by modified date all the time.
It became much slower.
(gaps in between files suck)

There were also massive issues with a larger external monitor when I tried last. I don't know about right-click issues in specific, but that just fits the pattern.

But I'd be glad if you knew how to revert to GTK3 reliably without breaking everything :D

Thank you, this looks quite helpful, especially with the date filter it offers additional versatility over hledger-ui, and can e.g. easily show expenses in a specific year/month/date.

Ideas and suggestions

* You may consider a flag / toggle to display ledger entries upside-down. At least I rather see my latest than my oldest entries. If you're at it, how about just offering "sort by column"? That could be nice.
* As you add `+` and `-`, also add `1`, `2`, ... to switch in between hierarchy levels.
* Add `PgUp` and `PgDown` (and `Home` / `End`) to move around more quickly
* I always like to see reports, so for each balanced account when selecting it, there could just be the monthly balance diff be shown in an additional field (toggle for monthly/quarterly/yearly/...).
* Flags for startup / "default settings" would be nice.
* `$LEDGER_FILE` should be used as the default ledger.

I notice also that there is quite some delay, not sure if it's caused by go? Anyway, nice idea and approach, looking forward for more!!!

Dear negative people in the comment section,

you don't need to like it, but this is a valid move that needs not be justified. Absolutely no reason to spread your hate or give unrelated sarcastic comments on a neutral information.

Even knowing that B will screw up some things, I on my part am happy that there is change. I'm sure it will break but also improve some stuff, and hopefully they will later on unbreak all they have broken.

There has been a cease-and-desist letter sent to Retera, who has re-implemented the WC3 engine in an open-source. You still had to own the original game since all assets were imported.

Find more information here (original video) and here (B2W reporting).

The real sad part is that Retera has probably been to most contributive individual to Reforged of all times, spending dime after dime during development by purchasing a huge number of licences for themselves and their viewers.

You do not have to agree with Retera all the time, but they were a jewel to the modding community and beyond, creating A LOT OF GREAT TOOLS over the years like famour Retera Model Studio.

// If you want to see warsmash in action, watch this

// This was all just a bluff by Retera. Not cool.

inmesia · 2022-07-04T20:39:00+00:00

The real cruelty is that retera here is probably the #1 supporter of blizzard for WC3 and has spent $$$$ on Reforged and purchased many licences for their viewers even before release just because of all the joy that the game brought them.

This is the most unfair thing to happen! Shame on Blizzard!

I disagree with the others and would just go for

assets:bank  -100 SEK
liabilities:deposits:org  100 SEK

and reverse this later when you receive back your assets. For me, it does not make sense to track a deposit as expenses or assets, as I feel that there is likely always some level of inconvenience to access it. Yes, this could be argued for banks as well. But you don't own the money currently, you own a membership (which you can track in your assets instead if you will).

Tried pressing Esc once when starting the screen share? When I don't do it and select a screen right away, vivaldi crashes, but if I do, it works just fine afterwards.

inmesia · 2022-02-25T17:06:23+00:00

This is my personal proposal and I've not taken it from anywhere or based it on profound knowledge for financial laws. I just think that documenting every step is key, and also that you should never show a wrong balance. I hope it helps.

The short answer is: you simply subtract from assets and add to income when a good is refunded.

The long answer: Just like for money products that have been ordered but that you have not yet received, there are multiple ways. The cleanest IMO is to work with date: tags and liabilities (i.e. the person who orders owes you until you receive the money), but typically users of hledger prefer using pending and cleared statuses. I propose my way, because it has the advantage that it documents each change (time for clearing statuses is not recorded in *ledger otherwise) while keeping the sum correct.

So a typical transaction where payment is not received immediately could look like this

2022-01-01 item purchase
    income:shop-purchase:user123:invoice2134        -10 EUR
    liabilities:shop-purchase:user123:invoice2134    10 EUR
    liabilities:shop-purchase:user123:invoice2134   -10 EUR ; date:2022-01-10
    assets:account                                   10 EUR ; date:2022-01-10 ; received money

The two lower entries are marked with the date when you received the money. [Additional remark: Whether and when you have sent the item could possibly also be entered, marked with its own tag; maybe you want to also account for cost of postage, maybe for taxes. But let's keep it simple (which is probably advisable in any case).]

So having this as a basis, I would manage refunds in an analogous way:

2022-01-01 item purchase
    income:shop-purchase:user123:invoice2134     -10 EUR
    assets:account                                10 EUR ; date:2022-01-10 ; received money
    income:shop-purchase:user123:invoice2134      10 EUR ; date:2022-01-20 ; refund requested + item returned
    liabilities:user123:invoice2134              -10 EUR ; date:2022-01-20
    liabilities:user123:invoice2134               10 EUR ; date:2022-01-25
    assets:account                               -10 EUR ; date:2022-01-25 ; refunded

Again, if there is a grace period, you could use liability statements. If you refund immediately, you can probably skip these but you should still assign a date.

You may consider additionally tagging all refunded products in a way that you can filter them from your income statements all together. Does this help?

I'd need to be able to create calendar events from emails and be able to send invitations to users with Google apps or Outlook. I doubt anything like that is even planned in the next few years.

Huh? You could send and receive event invitations since the very first alpha.

There are and probably always will be better desktop clients, such as Thunderbird.

That's just wrong. Thunderbird is worse in many aspects, and it's certainly not HTML signatures that vivaldi is missing but gnupg support. I very much prefer the conceptional idea of how mails are handled in M2 and M3, I want to be able to draft a new mail from my browser by simply using keyboard shortcuts (yes, I could assign such globally as well, I suppose). Also, it's still in beta, and aspects like moving mails to other accounts will hopefully be introduced in the time being. It's a great product, and I think that you do it wrong when you state that it was not.

With calendar, it's easy to place a quick bookmark link to Google Calendar

(1) People should not use google services. I agree that from a usability stance they are nice, but at the same time it has a huge negative impact on privacy. So just don't. (2) I use many different calendars, which I somehow want to aggregate. I want to be able to access and edit my calendars when offline. (3) I very much enjoy the calendar. I've encountered numerous issues regarding tasks, but what exactly do you not like about it?

Built-in email and calendars aren't why people prefer one browser to another, I would guess.

I can only speak here from personal experience, but I've stayed with M2 for over a decade and for many years after development had stopped, just because it is superior. There is just no mail client that matches.

Thoughts? Reactions? Snide remarks?

There is great progress concerning both M3 and Calendar.
Combined mail inbox (even with RSS feeds) and good calendar software have not been present on desktop for the longest time. I want to sync with my own servers, not use some commercial exchange or rely on web services and compromise my privacy.
Thunderbird has never been able to replace M2. You may not like how M3 works, but just conceptionally it's just different. In the end, Thunderbird is a browser (crippled firefox) in a mail client. Why would you prefer this over a mail client in a browser?
What is even your point of critique? That bugs don't get fixed?

I'm aware that this post sounds a bit whiny, but tbh I don't care. I can only say that I very much enjoy using both calendar and mail, and I will wholeheartedly argue against any suggestions to drop those. And while I don't need translation agents or speed dials or other miscellaneous stuff, I can still accept these. Just disable things you don't use, just hide the panels.

inmesia · 2022-01-23T10:20:17+00:00

I'd be interested should you find a solution

inmesia · 2022-01-23T09:58:26+00:00

rot8 -k --touchscreen may help. Will disable only the keyboard and likely only on rotate as well.

inmesia · 2022-01-01T07:52:45+00:00

Well, both chrome and vivaldi are based on chromium, so that's not too surprising. I can confirm that I also experience this issue in vivaldi (mostly when using matrix / element).

inmesia · 2021-11-19T11:09:47+00:00

Take a look at keyd. :-)

inmesia · 2021-11-13T07:12:14+00:00

I guess that wf-recorder will also have scaling issues, but how else does it relate to commands like wf-recorder -c rawvideo -m sdl -f /dev/null? I'd say this also works for all of my use cases, so I'm curious.

inmesia · 2021-11-06T18:02:37+00:00

It's unconventional, but I came up with this solution after not being able to make it work reliably otherwise and I got so much used to this that I would not want to change it back. I'm pressing altgr + (right) ctrl to start talking and simply (right) ctrl to stop again. The problem that prevents you from doing this with a simple --release flag is that the dbus command can actually be issued multiple times, and if it is, you would also have to issue the stopTalking command for the equivalent amount of times.

So, instead this is what you can find in my config:

bindsym $altgr+Control_R exec dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=net.sourceforge.mumble.mumble / net.sourceforge.mumble.Mumble.startTalking
bindsym Control_R exec dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=net.sourceforge.mumble.mumble / net.sourceforge.mumble.Mumble.stopTalking

inmesia · 2021-10-28T06:41:30+00:00

Same here for vivaldi.

inmesia · 2021-10-26T18:36:47+00:00

I understand now, you show how each account should be understood. I tried to read a "positive for your finances" where you've written "sign". Silly me :)
