    Well, it is a mind game, ultimately. We can never know what someone else is really thinking, at least with our current tech (which is why first strike is always so powerful), so it boils down to probabilities determined by track record. I guess this is why the Internet has made for such an interesting cultural time, because it’s allowed never-before-seen anonymity and the brutal honesty that comes with it. All I can say is that you have to learn to be content with probabilities and statistics, because trying to fit almost any aspect of human culture and perspectives into a nice, clean periodic table will leave you with more exceptions than rules!

    Or you could consult an LLM, I guess…

    Oh, come on, surely you know the answers to these. Nonetheless, I’ll humor you:

    How does one know if another is mature enough to give truthful and honest feedback?

    See how they provide feedback to/about other people. How accurate are they? Have they been proven wrong? What is their track record? If it’s consistently good, then that’s kind of a really strong voucher, no?

    Furthermore, how does one discern if said feedback is actually truthful and honest?

    Same as above; did you agree with their assessments of others based on the info you yourself have of those subjects? Can you verify that everything, or at least most of what, they said is correct? If they’re consistently exhibiting honesty, then why is there any reason to doubt it with you?

    You neutrally build a case proving or disproving their maturity and trustworthiness. It’s almost scientific!

    Huh, I apparently already had this installed amid my tinkering. Thanks, but it didn’t seem to help… I had to keep clicking or alt+tabbing to the window where I wanted the hints to appear right after typing hints in the console. Then the hints displayed in a zigzag fashion with no rhyme nor reason with respective to the buttons’ location. FWIW, my display is at 200%, which may be what’s causing the mouse to overshoot the coordinates, but even the hint locations are off.

    I also wasn’t expecting to have to pull up the Terminal to type “hints” and quickly Alt+Tab to the target window to generate the hints… though I suppose a keyboard shortcut could bind the script to a function key or something…

Does anyone know how to get Hints working on Mint Cinnamon?

English

I’m itching to use this but it malfunctions when I run hints in the Terminal: https://github.com/AlfredoSequeida/hints

It yields:

(hints:10812): dbind-WARNING **: 17:25:16.703: AT-SPI: Unable to open bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/1000/at-spi2-1RE4O3/socket: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):

Does anyone have any idea of what to do here? Thanks in advance!
