I've written a python/Qt script that keeps lists like those you mention. It's sort of a poor-man's database manager, but its only database is a collection of csv files.
- You can use an address list to keep track of contacts' phone numbers, mailing addresses, and eMail addresses.
- You can use a calendar to remind you about events and appointments including date, time, and duration. You can add notes about finding the location and other prerequisites to attendance.
- You can keep separate passwords in a password list for every website you visit and every piece of gear you own.
- You can keep links to favorite websites in a bookmark list.
When I try to include a direct link to my python script, which does that, my responses and in fact the whole posted discussion are taken down. … something to do with self promotion of untested software I suppose. But you can find it in the Cheese Shop (See Wikipedia “Python Package Index.”) under tonto2.

She's an anti-vax, convoy supporter who wanted to withdraw Canada from UN and UN-affiliated groups like the WHO. She famously hosted Christine Anderson from the AfD. She is stridently anti abortion and social conservative, and strongly pro-Israel.
I don't see why she would be better than Poilievre, it seems she would somehow be worse. At least Poilievre condemned the AfD meeting at the time.
I suspect that she is rather strongly allied with the religious right in the US, and therefore she would be even more likely to suck Trump's nuts from the back. I don't see indication that she has any national pride or vision that unifies Canada. And I've never heard anything interesting from her on economics, which is arguably our most important file right now.
MAJOR EDIT NEEDED: I'm a moron who thought the Lewis under discussion was Leslyn Lewis, instead of Avi Lewis. I have no excuse. The above was not meant to apply to Avi Lewis. Please downvote and ignore. I don't know anything about Avi Lewis.
My God I'm an idiot.
I was talking about Leslyn Lewis, and I'm out to lunch. I saw "right wing" and went in a completely different direction.
Punish me with downvotes, I deserve it. I'm leaving it up.

Nope. Mistakes happen and we're all trying to be excellent to each other. You get upvotes for your excellent ownup. 🤗
It won't be the same in Canada though. /s

FOSS Day One Journal Alternative
cross-posted from: mander.xyz/post/46344922
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good open source journaling app that can rival Day One? I'm looking for something end-to-end encrypted—I know Day One claims to be E2E, but I'm not sure I trust it. I use Joplin for my general note taking, but It's not really a suitable alternative for journaling.

I will never understand the internet's hive mind hate boner for this game. People bitch about CoD, Fortnight, and having nothing new to play, but then something new comes out and it's immediately a failure since it didn't instantly pass CoD's player count.
The damn thing has been out all of like 36 hours. It's like everyone in the gaming community has the attention and patience of a Netflix exec now.
Xfwl4 - The roadmap for a Xfce Wayland Compositor
We, the Xfce team are excited to share some great news!
After careful consideration, we’ve decided on a meaningful way to use the generous donations from our community: funding longtime Xfce core developer Brian Tarricone to create xfwl4, a brand-new Wayland compositor for Xfce.
This initiative will utilize a significant portion of the project’s donated funds, but we believe it’s an important investment in Xfce’s future.
The goal is, that xfwl4 will offer the same functionality and behavior as xfwm4 does, or as much as possible considering the differences between X11 and Wayland. Using xfwl4 should feel just like using xfwm4 on X11. We even plan to reuse the existing xfwm4 configuration dialogs and xfconf settings to ensure a seamless transition.
Xfwl4 will not be based on the existing xfwm4 code. Instead, it will be written from scratch in rust, using smithay building blocks.
