And just to be very explicit why this is an issue: each time the package is upgraded through an automated update, the PKGBUILD may change (e.g. to adapt to different dependencies, file structure, etc introduced with new app version).

That also means an AUR maintainer can smuggle in malware with any of those updates, even if you checked the original PKGBUiLD when you installed. And, anyone can request taking over maintenance for unmaintained packages, so it can even happen if the original maintainer was benevolent.

Always check PKGBUILD files on upgrade, even if just a glance. If I remember correctly yay had a function to always show you PKGBUILD diffs before updates, not sure if that was automatically enabled.

I can’t argue the current usage as I’m not terminally online enough anymore to have that knowledge but the original online usage of red-pill and ‘redpilling’ somebody was absolutely intrinsically connected to far-right and incel online spaces.

When you say it “developed across the whole internet, not just within incel communities” this is evidentially wrong. Early use was based around 4chan and manosphere/MRA ‘gender-truths’ and then increasingly co-opted by the alt-right pipeline to invoke a rejection of what they saw as the liberal status quo. Redpilling in its early use was basically slowly radicalising somebody to extreme alt-right viewpoints.

It’s one of the phenomena of linguistic appropriation (matrix redpill & trans-identity notions -> right-wing appropriation, gender standards and conservative values -> wide-spread normalization also outside strictly political contexts) by the right that words like woke, privileged also went through.

Thanks, that’s good info and makes a lot of sense.

Which certificates were they generally after instead?

And it looks really neat as that, but I do have to say the ‘only post free forever games Friday’ rule is a wonderful thing in this sub which prevents them from flooding out all other giveaway-based posts.

I was running both for quite a while a few years ago.

I found Loop Habit easier for ‘quick entry’ style record keeping, whereas track and graph made it a little more fiddle. On the other hand it allows quite some freedom in what you track and how so it might be better adapted for more in-depth mood tracking.

Nowadays I use Table Habit and have a simple positive mood and negative mood ‘habit’. If I don’t check either the day was neutral. If it went extensively in one of the directions, you can long press and add a custom value.

It’s definitely simplified but that also makes me much more likely to actually keep tracking over longer time frames.

Lastly, another tracker that I’ve used in the past and that is specifically geared to tracking events and emotions is dailynomie. It’s a little harder to set up but should be possible to work as a PWA on android. Loved the simplicity of its data model but the official app shut down in 2023 and I don’t know how maintained the oss version is nowadays.

Who brought that idea in? You just made that up.

Oh, that’s what I understood from the thread starting with:

its ok to fap

But I agree with your points, in general.

I guess where I am talking past you (or ‘listening’ past you, as it were) is that my argument is focused on this specific instance of someone doing something and I understood people to react with discouragement. You’re embedding the discussion into a wider societal angle. It still seems somewhat strange to bring it up in this instance as the original post also doesn’t mention any of the points you touch on and the ideas thus seem similarly ‘made up’ and brought in, for this case, to me.

But I definitely don’t have an argument with the points themselves, they are well made.

But that’s exactly what I am saying, there’s a wide variety of actions that - on their own - aren’t really harmful if done in moderation. Sure gambling and drinking are more extreme examples, but you yourself agree that these actions ‘release chemicals we can form a dependency on’. So does gambling, so does overeating, so does masturbation. If it’s an issue for the person and they’re not doing it for a while then I also don’t see the use in singling this out in the list of things here. If it helps the person get motivated/be proud and engage positive feedback loops to not do it, why single masturbation out as useless?

Of course, ‘never fapping’ and automagically being a good person is an absurd manosphere grift to push. But if they were following a specific diet which in itself also doesn’t turn your life around but gets the ball rolling would you have the same stance? If it’s part of a process of change for a person I just don’t see the sense in such strong antipathy for this single case, I suppose.

In other words, of the list of things here - cold showers, room tidying, brushing teeth, not eating like crap - it’s the masturbation this thread singles out and tells the person: no that thing, you should definitely continue doing that. Just seems unproductive to me.

I get what you’re saying, but would you adopt the same stance for example for gambling or drinking alcohol? They’re not necessarily bad per se, it’s the compulsion and the trigger points it evokes for some people where I think it’s completely fine to just accept that for them not doing it at all - even if for a time - might be the correct move.

oh no

Very happy you had fun making the little script! One thing that will become important pretty quick if you continue making these scripts is that it’s almost always better to wrap your variables in quotes - so it becomes yt-dlp -x “$a”. It’s okay here but if you ever paste something that has a space in it, this will keep it together ‘as one’.

If you want to expand your knowledge with this, some fruitful paths to go down are the following:

• can you find a way to download multiple urls one after the other if you paste them all at once? (Multiple arguments)
• can you find a way to ask the user for these multiple urls one after the other? (loops)
• and can you find a way to have it ask until you hit enter without a url pasted and only then it starts? (conditionals and test)

The last one is already quite a bit advanced but if you can do that you have enough of the ‘programming’ basics of the shell down to a degree that you can create many little helpers like this with ease.

Of course don’t feel forced to do any of that - if you’re happy with the improvement as-is, that’s all you need to enjoy the fun of Linux!

ersatztv is exactly what you’re looking for - takes your media library and turns it into a variety of channels as iptv. Can even do like epg and channel logos and other fluff you’re likely not to need. But importantly let’s you select the criteria for your channels - it can be a little overwhelming to first set up but is the exact fit for your needs.

I’m no professional video editor but for the couple occasions that I got to edit videos for friends and colleagues, I absolutely loved using kdenlive and was really surprised by the features on offer here!

Before the first project, I had only used Adobe premiere (quite a few years ago) and - though people having professional requirements will probably disagree here - for a basic editing workflow there were no things I was missing. Everything just works, and quite well even on my aging machine.

So with this little comment I want to inspire any passer-by on the lookout for video editing software to give it a try, you may just find an amazing hidden gem!

it now supports the Material 3 Expressive visual style.

the new LineageOS release also brings support for a fully customizable quick settings panel.

Those are the two things, to undercut the click bait headline a little.

I get that both are cool to have, functionality-wise at least definitely the customizable settings - but are those really the ‘best things about Pixels’?

You can have a couple of private repos on codeberg no problem, it’s just that if you start using a lot of HDD space for them without also contributing stuff that they don’t like it

So it’s technically true that if you never contribute to any projects they don’t love private repo-only accounts, but it’s a pretty relaxed rule.

Nevertheless a good list of other forgejo instances is e.g. here.

oh like, literally hitting?

Neato.

It’s funny, an announcement like this used to excite and terrify me in roughly equal amounts.

But now that I’m much more reliant on the polars universe instead, and looking closer at the blog post – it kinda seems like they are moving closer to some of the polars idioms anyway, with plpd.col() and string datatypes.

For issues tracking there’s the venerable git-bug, although development has sadly slowed way down in the last years.

And I am always jealous of the way fossil repositories just have a complete front-end and wiki baked in, would love something like that for git.
