I made a better solution in my post that works perfectly… and is better for me because it isn’t a script (I don’t like adding additional dotfiles) sorry for the unnecessary effort.

Do foss models really matter? I’m pro foss and think proprietary software should be banned but these weights are essentially a compiled program, we have no idea what they do

Test setting it in /etc/environment

Why not just switch to MPV?

yeah i’m doing this because i’m anal not because there’s a good reason to.

Every single way that flatpak doesn’t integrate well into the OS is easily fixed with minimal effort.

I highly recommend fedora kiniote if stability is your goal always go immutable

Do you have any better suggestions?

The real reason for alacritty is that it’s my terminal emulator of choice and it needed to run “xclip -o | wl-copy” while in focus, or the clipboard won’t update properly.

First, wait for that pull request to actually show “merged” instead of open, then, wait for a release of xwayland, you can find those here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/tags

Once that’s been released, note the version number of the version of xwayland that has explicit sync

https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/xorg-x11-server-Xwayland/xorg-x11-server-Xwayland/

then look here and see if the version number matches or is greater than it.

edit: woo it’s merged.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967

The short version of the story, wait until this has landed in your distro of choice, or you’ll have flickering problems.

I’ll consider that after i try and fail with olaf

That’s an interesting solution that i’d rather avoid because it’s proprietary

Also, that wouldn’t distinguish the two states of call/email, I don’t think.

I don’t have any meetings ever. An LLM really wouldn’t be able to do almost any of my work.

It’s actually much more malicious hahaha. But sometimes it may be used while sleeping.

That won’t work if the backend ever changes, and will be locked into a single program

https://github.com/JorenSix/Olaf I’ve decided to use this, i’ll probably have a solution this week, i have to actually record the sounds my next workday, then i’ll test it. Seems much easier to do than making a chrome extension, honestly.

It does not give a desktop notification, or even a proper chrome notification, it’s just a dialogue on a page that says accept/deny

I said that in the post. The sound is the only thing to hook into. It doesn’t even set chrome as urgent.

Yeah the most fulfilling thing about this job has been figuring out how to automate as much of it as possible while still pretending to be a normal worker. It’s pretty terrible, i’m going to switch to herpetology eventually, but can’t do that right now for various reasons I don’t want to get into on a public forum.

I’m at the top of every performance metric because of my inclination to be lazy as fuck with it though, so, it works.

This is incredible and exactly what i’m looking for, i’ll post my completed solution when i’m done, thank you!
