What you could ask for:
- current date or time
- what is on a page
- what is the weather
- what music you listen
You can always say something like… “It’s 2050 and it still doesn’t work” real person would react to wrong year.
I like the concept, you could also detect the compose file name automatically.
Or write down hashes for tag even if compose don’t use your variables so reading from compose, so people would not need to relay on the script but could use it as additional backup
Only [ Confirm ] and [ Set later ] in the dialog? No way to never set/change/cancel? Rapist mentality?
There is a change for a cross OS malware but it’s probably still quite small.
I would just remove them, and then if they dont re-appear after checking game file consistency then its’s mostly likely not a false positive.
But if you know that last playerd is most likely before you installed current OS then it should be clean. I would check user level autostart and cronjob (so mostly stuff in $HOME/.config) places if something didnt get added, go ahead with life.
Unless you are doing banking and other critical stuff on this machine then I would be thinking of hardedning the OS in some way and/or reinstalling.
They did say that their servers dont store anything and they do some cloud “verification” before sending any data to it, but in my opiniom they should have a setting/prompt/indication for that apple cloud part too, especially as you might be on mobile.
The include of chatgpt with the prompt is making it confusing and making the apple cloud less talked about …
If only some of the newly added translations was not garbage, adding local dialects that differs by location is useless, it’s more like a gimmick. It just makes it harder pick language as you need to scroll over all of those useless ones…
It’s probabably just a PR stunt.
I call them useless because this language is a subset of old language that no one uses - or more precise no one should use it any more. It is a regional language from era where every region had their own culture and was occupied by multiple countries so the language is a mix of multiple molded languages that differs by region.
Why it’s useless (in example of “Silesian”):
- you can’t use it inside the country as it’s not official language that you can use when conversing inside goverment (yes, in some local regional governmental offices they understand it, but it’s not official)
- in Poland people use the language “Sląski” (or like google call it “Silesian”) for many different set’s of words and dialects, and they differ to a point that one “Silesian” speaking guy sometimes have issues talking to another “Silesian” speaking guy
- the translation is not helpful to people using that language as they know the official country language too
- the translation probably will never be useful to any other person as they can always going to prefer to use official country language (or English)
- the translation is bad on it’s own (as it’s only one variant of dozens if not more)
So I’m going to call that language “useless” as other than historical value it should disappear as it this “language” was never fully defined/described and will never due to many “variants”.
I don’t have an issue that they craeted it, I have an issue that they mixed the this language with other official (useful because still used) languages.
I hope that in the future they will finally cleanup the bullshit language selector in google translate grouping them somehow to make it easier to quickly select the actually useful languages that people actually use on day-to-day basic.
better than siting with dictionary for historian? maybe for me as a “native person speaking (one of the variants of) that language”? no, as I already pointed out it’s only one random variant from dozens if not more.
No language is useless, please don’t say that, some are just smaller
Yes, sorry, I didn’t check other languages, as in the list there most likely are languages that are still heavily used and/or official country languages.
Initially I was under the impression that they didn’t get added before because all of them are not official ones and/or used anymore like in the case of “Silesian” that I did check and confirmed that should be avoided as much as possible. It’s a disservice to new generation of people that still (partial) learn it in their own while growing in that region. Then those people go to different region inside their own country and (because they or the region “use that variant”) then have troubles with communicating.
You have clear example with Poland and Germany. Example, imagine you live in France, you want to go to Poland (or Germany), you go to school (or get some lessons) to Learn Polish (or Germany), you drive to some random region of Poland (and Germany) and … surprise, only in that “small” region they talk not with Polish (or Germany) but their own (one of dozens) variant that they call “Silesian” (or Bavarian). And even if you go and learn “Silesian” (or Bavarian) it most likely will only help maybe partially…
Those comments are not lost, the nepomuk (later baloo) is only a indexing service that scrape the file metadata for search purposes.
The attributes are actually stored inside the files in file metadata supported by filesystem. So If those original files still reside in their original filesystem (they ware not like moved to different filesystem that doesn’t support those attributes or like compressed (into zip that probably would not retain those metadata)) you can read it.
I did some local digging into it and after searching whole drive while not finding the content of the comment, after searching some filesystem docs, found a explanation at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes
You can read them using:
getfattr FILENAME -n user.xdg.comment
getfattr FILENAME -n user.xdg.tags
like getfattr test.txt -n user.xdg.comment
