@alecaddd Just watched your awesome Customizable Shortcuts video series. Where do you intend for the shortcuts editor window to be? In the general preferences/settings tab?
Also, if you ever implement a HUD, then please make `?` the shortcut to bring that up. Youtube has a good implementation that you can refer. (Press ? while watching a video)
Yes, I'm aiming at implementing a HUD and using the `?` key to trigger it

#TrinidadYTobago🇹🇹 anuncia que retirará las tres carabelas de Colón (que “descubrió” las islas en su tercer viaje) de su escudo de armas y las reemplazará por el instrumento musical nacional, el ‘steelpan’.
El ‘steelpan’ es a su vez una apropiación de un símbolo imperialista: los trinidadeños descubrieron que si martilleabas un barril de petróleo (traído por las multinacionales estadounidenses para llevarse el oro negro del país) podías afinarlo
In the September Community Office Hours, we chatted with the voice of our community - the Thunderbird Council! @dannycolin and @clokep, two current council members, talk about the council's origins, its responsibilities, and how to get involved.
Most of the energy debate is focused on the tip of the iceberg - electricity.
But almost 80% of our energy use is for heat and transport relying heavily on fossil fuels.
Decarbonisation requires an all-sector approach.

I've looked at this at one point, and the percentage was very different between countries. US was the lowest I could find.
There was 0 statistical rigor to that analysis and the studies might very well have been comparing Apples to oranges, so take that with a grain of salt.
One of Automattic’s charges against WP Engine is that by using “WP” in their name, they sow confusion about their relationship with the WordPress project. WP Engine’s letter pointed to a page on the WordPress Foundation website about their trademarks (wordpressfoundation.org/tradem… ) that said “The abbreviation ‘WP’ is not covered by the WordPress trademarks and you are free to use it in any way you see fit.”
If the Wayback Machine is accurate, that page has been updated sometime in the last 24 hours or so to indicate that it’s still technically OK for third parties to use “WP,” but if you are WP Engine you are doing it wrong.

wait is apple's developer offering even comparable to what windows Phone had? when I read "sideload" and "unlock" I imagine it becomes fairly easy to install additional apps and without a limit; even though it's free, Apple's offering is still just painful for anyone to use unless you're developing the app (which is still painful, you just are generally moreso expected to be able to deal with it), because it must be self-signed and it only lasts like a week and you can only have like 3 apps at once (or was it 5? also some BS limit on the number of times they can be reactivated within X time period, last I checked)
was the windows phone thing equally awful to what Apple has been offering for years now? (price aside)
by "jailbreak" and the fact that windows apps are generally not very isolated and can do various interesting things at a closer-to-the-system-shell level (I don't know how this differs on Windows Phone 7, though), i also assumed this actually means you can install arbitrary things, not just those that could easily map to a PWA (easiest analogue to describe a certain kind of app; I don't mean web app, but restricted like an iOS or Android app would be, and a PWA is the best cross-platform concept like that); in which case Apple just clearly does not offer that and never have.
Announcing: Frog Protocols for Wayland 🐸
Let's create Wayland Protocols but much more iterative.
Wayland Protocols has long had a problem with new protocols sitting for months, to years at a time for even basic functionality.
This is hugely problematic when some protocols implement very primitive and basic functionality such as frog-fifo-v1, which is needed for VSync to not cause GPU starvation under Wayland and also fix the dreaded application freezing when windows are occluded with FIFO/VSync enabled.
We need to get protocols into end-users hands quicker! The main reason many users are still using X11 is because of missing functionality that we can be shipping today, but is blocked for one reason or another.
Check out the repo here! github.com/misyltoad/frog-prot…
and the Mesa MR that adds support for frog-fifo-v1 to fix these issues and goes into much more detail: gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me…
In practice, it does not seem to be as hard as it looks to get wide agreement, it's just much harder to get *universal* agreement. It often seems like the latter is necessary to get anything done, and that's something we need to put more effort into squashing.
There also seems to be a fear of "dead batteries", but I don't think that's something we should be concerning ourselves. Things tend to naturally work themselves out over time anyway.
