Hacker News with Generative AI: Dependencies

Repack Zoom .debs to remove the `ibus` dependency (hashman.ca)
For whatever reason, Zoom distributes .debs that have a dependency on ibus. ibus is the "intelligent input bus" package and as far as I'm aware, might be used for emoji input in chat or something?? But is otherwise not actually a dependency of the Zoom package. I've tested this extensively... the client works fine without it.
