The details depend a bit on the audiostack of your distro, but they all have a cli program with which you can change inputs/outputs and volume; e.g. pactl for pulseaudio and wpctl for wireplumber.
You’ll need a mechanism to find your triggers (I create a firefox tab with youtube/spotify, I have a music player active) and then you can act on it.
Detecting voice in an audiostream is probably technically possible, but that sounds pretty hard to setup.
You’re welcome!
Wow, who would have thought?
It seems the AI hype is shrinking (or at least slowing down), since people are more and more critical of it: intellectual property, workers rights, power consumption, climate impacts, usefulness and more.
If you want more reading, I recommend these:
I can’t recommend Ed Zitron’s blog enough: Where’s your Ed at
He did an interview with Adam Conover a month ago, which was also really interesting.
The other blog I highly recommend is The Luddite, e.g. Why is there an AI hype?
I know that feeling all too wel…
Sorry I can’t help you with the solution you want, I don’t use flatpak.
It’s not really what you’re asking, but couldn’t you just visit the about:profiles page?
It’s not as nice as the dedicated profile manager, but it’s just as functional.
You could even set it as your default page, or add it to the bookmark bar.

IIRC, within RHEL it goes fedora (next major) -> centos stream (next minor) -> RHEL (current major.minor).
With Debian and its derivatives (e.g Ubuntu) this means that Debian-unstable corresponds to fedora, Debian-testing corresponds to CentOS stream and Debian-stable corresponds to RHEL. (Roughly of course).
Ubuntu is based off of some flavor of Debian and is therefore downstream of it: Debian (unstable I think) -> Ubuntu -> Ubuntu LTS.
But as far as which version has the newest packages then sure, your list is correct.
Thank you, was wondering what happened there.
Youtube tip everyone needs to now: remove the si query parameter, it’s not necessary and used for tracking

people’s configs on github?
Yep, it’s definitely better to have as a default
It is with zfs, but I not with regular mount I think (at least not by default). It might depend on the filesystem though.
You can also do the following to prevent unwanted writes when something is not mounted at /mnt/thatdrive:
# make sure it is not mounted, fails if not mounted which is fine
umount /mnt/thatdrive
# make sure the mountpoint exists
mkdir -p /mnt/thatdrive
# make the directory immutable, which disallows writing to it (i.e. creating files inside it)
chattr +i /mnt/thatdrive
# test write to unmounted dir (should fail)
touch /mnt/thatdrive/myfile
# remount the drive (assumes it’s already listed in fstab)
mount /mnt/thatdrive
# test write to mounted dir (should succeed)
touch /mnt/thatdrive/myfile
# cleanup
rm /mnt/thatdrive/myfile
From man 1 chattr:
A file with the ‘i’ attribute cannot be modified: it cannot be deleted or renamed, no link can be created to this file, most of the file’s metadata can not be modified, and the file can not be opened in write mode.
Only the superuser or a process possessing the CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE capability can set or clear this attribute.
I do this to prevent exactly the situation you’ve encountered. Hope this helps!

If you don’t want spellchecking, then no. You can just change the keyboard layout.
If you do want spellchecking then yes, you will need to install some kind of language pack.
I’m not sure how libreoffice does it, but Firefox has different language packs for translating the UI and for spellchecking.
Are the extra dialects taking up too much space for you?
You’re welcome!
I’m sorry that I don’t have any advice for a specific laptop, but it seems others are helping with that already.
More memory and cores will help you with compiling and running your code.
Have you even read my comment?
Yes, a quick web search later I haven’t found a readymade solution.
Setting the volume for specific outputs is not very hard, so maybe a middleground solution is to have two shortcuts. One for “game mode” and one for “music mode” or whatever.
