Thanks. I got it to run on my work laptop that runs Windows. Selections don't work, and cairo spits out a bunch of errors during the screen redraws.

I'll give it a shot on my own Ubuntu laptop.

Looks like a nice project.

Looks like you missed a file, though.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'miniword.core.utils'

I don't see it in my local clone of your repo, nor the repo iteslf.

Do you have a list of devices you use? It would be very helpful, since HomeAssistant has hundreds of integrations, and it's a lot of work to track down devices that -

- FAIL NORMAL - WORK OFFLINE - YOU CAN STILL BUY

I really want my smart home devices to meet these criteria, but at the same time I have a bunch of other stuff I do.... so it would be awesome to have a starting point from people who have done it already.

Mozilla used to have such a database, but seems to have forgotten it.

Where I work, it just means I have to maintain my own infrastructure in addition to being a developer.

Last I checked, the mycroft timer could set simple timers, (set a 5 minute timer, etc.) but things like repeating timers weren't working yet.

It's getting better, but in many cases it's not there yet.

I'm not complaining because as much as I want to help, I simply can't spend enough time to get into the code.

I want to use mycroft, since their privacy concerns are a real thing.

Mike: Lenny, officially, the Church will not take any position on the religious implications of these phenomena. Personally, Lenny, I think it's a sign from God. But don't quote me on that.<br> Peter Venkman: I think that's a smart move, Mike.<br> Mayor Lenny: Now, I'm not gonna call a press conference and tell everyone to start praying.<br> Winston Zeddemore: I'm, uh, Winston Zeddemore, Your Honor. I've only been with the company for a couple of weeks, but I gotta tell you: these things are real. Since I joined these men, I have seen shit that'll turn you white!<br> Peter Venkman: Well, you can believe Mr. Pecker...<br> Walter Peck: My name is "Peck."<br> Peter Venkman: ...or you could accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.<br> Mayor Lenny: What do you mean, "biblical"?<br> Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor. Real Wrath-of-God type stuff!<br> Peter Venkman: Exactly.<br> Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!<br> Egon Spengler: 40 years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes!<br> Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!<br> Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

Just moved from Linux to Windows at work.

It's not WSL I find myself using to have a good shell experience. It's MinGW/mintty. I even got a plugin to wrap it around WSL, since the Windows console experience is pretty painful. I miss my middle-click pasting and nice color schemes.

I just wish I could setup the path translations in PyCharm to use the same mapping. Things work, (and not too bad) but I just hate having to rewrite all of the paths in my environmental variables.

My other gripe is with the Cisco VPN client running all internet traffic through it, rather than having OpenConnect sort it out ahead of time.... but that's not really a Windows issue.

Political mind games.

Right now, most of the tech industry, and a good portion of the news media are at odds with the executive branch of the government.

This article puts at least one popular news outlet against several tech industry giants. Divide.

What comes after divide? ...and who has the most to gain? I doubt it's actually our executive branch. I think they could be getting played just as much as Bloomberg and the Tech industry.

Anyone who knows that their D&D Character with a 20 INT isn't invincible. You have to have a combination of scores in all of the attributes to succeed. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't apply this to real life.

That being said, I often find that I over-think tasks, and end up never completing them because I try to make them perfect, and find out at some point that I can't.

What's more important than "perfect" is "good enough", and sometimes a high IQ won't allow you to accept that.

It's one of the things I hate about myself at times.
