This method of creating completions is, in my opinion, superior to the "fake completions" system offered by zsh, itself.

>>107266720This is pretty good.You can create XML config files for each computer you have to track which directories need to be copied to and from NAS.And also a config for the common directories across all computers copied to be copied to and from NAS.And conflict resolution. And timestamped versioning too (e.g. keeping last x amount of versions in a separate directory).It is a donation-nagware with it's special-boy custom installer like on Windows but on Linux, but it werks.
>>107258791I wonder who uses things like this? Archivers? Cops reviewing CP collections?This is like a weird boomer emacs but for obsessively dragging around and renaming files all day.At certain amount of files some shell scripting automation that deals with specific file types becomes more practical.
>>107252322GNU bash
Linux utilities may be good, but they are underwhelming. Like they don't have icons and installers you can download from a cool website, anticipate the download and then click on yourself. So they don't feel like a tangible thing, like you own them. Just another lowercase name you put in some text file to pipe all of them into apt. It doesn't feel special. No special updaters just for you. You don't feel like you're doing things or that there are things on the computer. You don't get stimmed at all. Makes you zone out.
>>107267224I used to like https://cocoatech.io/it is like what nautilus aiming to be in 10 years or so.but most of those fancy features are not really that helpful.people on windows do not even have tabs in explorer so it is tough for them.. there are plugins like https://github.com/indiff/qttabbar but still it is weird.
>>107267302>You don't feel like you're doing things or that there are things on the computerthat's exactly how it should be. nothing to worry about, just a solid tool that gets out of your way
>>107267302there is a lot of fragmentation in linux world and everything comes in all sorts of forms including mac / win wannabe formats or installers.there are appimages, flatpacks, snaps, native packages rpm or whatever.. it is a mess.so you are kinda wrong...Your perspective on it reminded me of something. In some video about design I heard a point about why apple does things better. The guy made an example of his mom who liked finder on mac more then explorer on windows because the icon on it was smiling at her :)
>>107267315I use lf, ncdu, tmux, shell, wezterm and various other *-nix utilities even on mac. This seems like something that tries to be all those things and a window manager in one UI. Another graphical emacs, the all in one everything program beyond a file manager or archivator. They just keep making those emacses.
>>107267355that is the only way to sell you something you already have..kinda the defining feature of closed source paid software - it is excessive and bloated to justify it's existence.
>>107267348I guess it depends on the distro. I use like 3 appimages, hundreds of things I've installed it's just arch repo or AUR. That's it. On macOS everything I happen to use comes from homebrew.This is less of a mess than trying to use custom installers AND eventually conflicting 'package managers' and 'environmetns' on Windows with different coverage (scoop, chocolatey, git bash, cygwin, msys2, winget...).
>>107267224Its configurable in every way. The entire GUI can be customized however you like - simple or complex. Very powerful tool, but also very accessible. Its in a class of its own.
It’s all we ever needed.
>>107267485that is actually a very good point for "emacses".you can configure them into almost anything and that lets you create something that does not have an app yet.logseq is a good example of that. there are no good task managers for linux and the fact that logseq can be anything you want it to be kinda saved me.I removed everything I do not need, implemented the things that I missed and now I have almost perfect setup for work.
ClassicShell/OpenShell lets you have a start menu that isn't retarded in later editions of windows
>>107267534here it is if someone is interested.just a thing to track tasks and auto tag and move them on the next day into previous day note file.also some basic shortcuts to move and edit tasks.it is surprising how few todo managers have those things implemented.an extension that lets me know how many tasks I have left for today what has already been done and what I am currently doing / should do.in future I will add calendar integration..ideally I want to create something like thishttps://timingapp.com/I was able to find https://github.com/MayGo/tockler for linux but it requires some work. one day...
>>107267670Oh I also miss the ability to set a time for some task - it is much easier to start doing something when it is has a starting and ending time.

Also it's way faster and more stable than Explorer, folder with 10000 thumbnails loads and sorts instantly, multithreaded copy, always caps the network transfer rate when copying over network, etc.
>>107267315>people on windows do not even have tabs in explorer so it is tough for them..Tabs in normal explorer have been a thing for years...

>>107258791any alternative like that but for linux?
>>107270399Double Commander or Krusader, I guess. But DOpus is a file manager in it's own class, nothing really quite like it outside of Amiga and Windows, it takes a lot of quirks and features from it's past when it was Amiga only, if you used it on an Amiga you'll feel right at home.

>>107270433Most people do not know about the concept, and they do not understand it.Frankly, I did not understand why browsers needed tabs when they came up in like 2005 or something... because, yes, the WM handles this just fine (if you use a non-retarded WM).So in all the whole browser UI could be way simpler, but these days I am too old bothering with that shit. People are stupid and I have no will to educate them on stuff that they have been doing for 20 years now.>>107270697Go and predict all them sums.

>>107270120>>107270288that field is always kinda stagnates.people are too afraid to change things that work.I truly believe that we should build desktops differently - make them reactive to pointer instead of window positioning.try to guess what user needs and show it to them instead of making them micromanage everything.there was a cool app on mac called tuckhttps://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/tuck/it is a good example of what future uis might look like.
>>107270870I put it to you that a discovery of $masterPassword would lead to a ready exploitation of $service.That single point of failure makes everything else predictable.
>>107270940>try to guess what user needs and show it to themYou work for google?'cause that's the precise shit they pulled that converted their functional search engine into a bag of shit suitable only for advertising, and gathering metrics to sell advertising...After going on record stating they'd never take money to place on result above another - how would you know to trust any of the results?
>>107270966I meant desktop interactions not web.the way we do things is very archaic and not very innovative because corporations are afraid that people are idiots.this is why they designed mouse and keyboard the way they did.the way phone ui was designed based on don norman studies (a guy who invented ux and basically made iphone comfy) is very innovative and tries to guess what user needs.it adapts to a user and intuitive to use.I hope I will find some time in future to create something in that field in a form of a gnome extension or something.If I will have enough talent and dedication to do a stupid shit nobody will need for fun.generally I am just a bit tired of common ui patterns and think we should try more shit.
>>107271000>I meant desktop interactions not web.And I didn't?And you still can't see how this will inevitably enshittify the experience as it continually guesses wrong, requiring more metrics to be collected in ever invasive methods?>The way we do things is very archaic and not very innovative because corporations are afraid that people are idiots.Unfortunately, they're right. If you feel the need for evidence of this, and the mirror is insufficient, look at the rise of docile media. When building a stick to beat them with, they thought it was clever to see how many nails they could poke into it. Look at iphone users. They normalised having zero control over the hardware you've just payed for.There's just so much to point at here. And it's all stupid fucknuckles like you that thought it was a good idea.
>>107270952For passwords longer than the hash, you are quicker to discover a collision using a full pre computed table.Also a salt helps. In fact, I have stored my salts on my public www/, free for anybody to see.
>>107271120I've been developing software for more than 15 years by now. But one of the biggest realizations I had as a young dev was that people do not want to use software.In reality they are not excited about the app I am writing they are not waiting for updates..they see it as an obstacle that stands between them and what they want instead of a tool.an update for them is annoying not exciting..so yes.. I get your point.I just want to be able to do more in less clicks and actions.it won't save much time or achieve much it will make my working flow a bit smoother and in the long run it does not worth the effort.but without shit like that I will lose my drive and interest to work with all of this.this form of hacking what makes it funbut whatever.
