I right click the volume icon in Windows, select "Volume Mixer", and it gives me per-app mixing. Which I guess is an extra click, as with eartrumpet you can access the mixer with a single left click on the icon.

If not anything else, I guess it could be added :) Makes me wonder though if that's a limitation of text boxes in Windows (so a translation will need to be made during loading/saving).

I use that approach. I also make sure to not set the [user] section in my main config (and only in the included files). That way if I'm operating outside of one of my user directories git commit fails due to having no user details.

This is how I've observed it: Catfriend1 has long been the owner of syncthing-fork on android, which was fork of the official client syncthing-android. It had extra features around Android that were lacking in the official client (e.g sync windows to reduce battery usage).

When google locked down on file apis a year or so ago, the official syncthing-android pulled out of google play, but syncthing-fork stuck around in fdroid as the fork was for personal purposes, and they were using fdroid for distribution in the first place.

This change in ownership is new to me, but I'm also not surprised it happened as syncthing-fork was always a personal project.

If it makes a difference: it's an en dash used in the readme.

I've been wondering why LLMs seem to prefer the em dash over en dash as I feel like en (or hyphen) is used more frequently in modern text.

[A-z] though is a fun one though as it includes a few extra symbols between upper and lowercase.

Interesting; never considered anchoring on the paragraph boundaries. I suspect you are right in that I use line shapes to navigate, as I also treat capitals as landmarks to bounce around. Once had a visual migraine where I could only detect the current line (above and below just didn't exist), and it forced my reading speed to a crawl.

Why would shorter lines be regular? I use hn with `max-width: 60rem;`, and I get a ragged right (which I very much prefer over justification), while also getting a line length easier for my eyes to follow.

I think people should be responsible for the litter of their own tools. If their commits have include any litter it should be rejected as they clearly aren't paying attention. The local gitignore is for project specific files.

I get something like that in the initial IMAP sync. Some of my old emails will surface to the top with the current date as today. Never really bothered looking into as it only happens once, but I've been assuming that the date header on those emails were missing.
