19:23 <thalis> Hi, I'm trying to map a Alt+d to send a notification with the current date, using fnott.

19:23 <thalis> Specifically, I'm running `riverctl map normal Alt D spawn "notify-send 'Time is' '$(date)'`.

19:23 <thalis> This however does not display the current date but the date when riverctl map was first run

19:24 <thalis> I could not find anything in the archives, has this been mentioned before?

19:28 <ifreund> thalis: you probably want to use single quotes on the outside and double quotes for the $(date)

19:28 <ifreund> note that this is nothing really river-specific, it's just how posix shell quoting works

19:30 <thalis> ah yes, you are right. I didn't really know the difference, I will look it up, thanks for the help.

19:30 <ifreund> no problem!

19:31 <waleee> ifreund: btw re a talk you gave on sycl I think about how you wanted to experiment with offloading more from river to the layout generators, xmonad apparently offers donations for efforts to migrate it to wayland

19:32 <waleee> (insert some commas around "I think")

19:35 <ifreund> that's neat, river isn't nearly far enough along to be useful for something like that yet though if I get river there before they've taken a different direction a monadic haskell river window manager might be pretty cool
