As @const_void@lemmy.ml points out, there’s a bunch of players that can scrobble directly to listenbrainz.

But even if you use some player that does not have support for it, you can make any player that can scrobble to last.fm work with listenbrainz instead since they provide a compatible API. This includes even software which officially only supports last.fm by simply changing the scrobble destination it wants to scrobble to in your hosts file.

It really is pretty nice software.

The rss feed should be accessible here but it’s unfortunately a little buggy, been meaning to spruce it up for ages.

xdg-open is very nifty, especially due to its ubiquitousness on a variety of distributions. You can even have a look inside to see that it is actually a shell script yet again invoking other ‘opening’ scripts in the background!

I wrote a little bit about it and an alternative to it called mimeo not too long ago. That one can even open things by advanced filters such as regexes. So you could e.g. open https://eff.org in Firefox and http://localhost:3000 in a different application or other advanced shenanigans - though I’ve never used such advanced features much.

I see, that makes sense and is very interesting. I will remember this for some inevitable phase of going from never touch running system to ohh shiny down the road. While I suppose some of these are just things working differently on the two boards, I see your points.

Although I did learn in this thread that ASK also has a clipboard history and undo! Though - to be frank it is hidden under an up-swipe of the spacebar.

Learn something new everyday… Thanks! This is sure to come in handy at some point.

Not asking to start an argument but do you know what those features and customizability optons are?

Because I am currently running a German/English/Terminal-mode multi setup with everything set up right around how I need and the customization in AnySoft keyboard was quite honestly astounding to me (if very cumbersome to discover everything).

So if Floris offers even more possibilities I am wondering what they could even be?

Mutt (and neomutt) has very nice search capabilities, supporting regex search within specific mailboxes. However, it is a relatively slow search - unbearably slow for full text search in large mailboxes.

Here, notmuch is usually used to complement mutt. It’s a very fast (full-text) mail indexer, which can be directly integrated in mutt and allows much faster searching (among other things such as advanced mail tagging, virtual mailboxes and more).

It is generally a royal pain to set up with so many moving parts but once you do it is a very fast, comfortable mail environment if you’re comfy with the terminal.

Absolutely agreed.

The underlying map is great, the interfaces are great (especially on OrganicMaps), the way it can give me offline access to everything is great but in that crucial moment getting off a train/bus/whatever and thinking - hang on, which direction did I need to go? - the search just undoes everything else because often you literally can not find the location you need. Then it’s hand-scrolling to roughly where you think it is, putting down a general pin and then eye-balling the actual location.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun in a sort of 90s-unfolding the city-map kind of way but not if you actually have an appointment somewhere.

It’s interesting that people are surprised at these seatwarmers when they’ve only been offering indicators as aftermarket upgrades for decades and yet no BMW owner chose to buy them.
