I self host Pinchflat and have set it up to monitor one of my own yt playlists. Then if I want to download anything on mobile or desktop I just save it to that playlist and it’s done.

the world does collectively

there are other records of young girls being used as surrogate mothers and babies taken away so… this is so much worse than we can imagine and it’s depravity will stun the world.

This worked for me:

bash -c "sleep 2 && ydotool type abcde12345"

Thank you! I couldn’t find any good instructions for the Command field of custom keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks, unfortunately ydotool has removed their sleep command stating ‘this should be your shell’s job’. I tried using the standard shell sleep command and used the semicolon to chain commands. Maybe thats not how to use the command field of the custom shortcut.

That seems to have worked better, I can now run ydotool commands in terminal. Will a user level service have any specific limitations?

When use this command as a custom keyboard shortcut:

ydotool type abcde12345

It will miss the first few characters and type:

de12345

When I try chaining shell commands to pause and wait before typing, it doesn’t work at all:

sleep 2; ydotool type abcde12345

Any ideas on how I could automate ydotool as a keyboard hotkey? Custom shortcut to run a bash script maybe?

Thanks for the reply Hades, the output of that command is:

Got one word for ya mate: Paragraphs.

They’re a goddam modern marvel and heaven-sent if you ask me.

Good day sir.

I beleive real change will only occur in Israel after the Palestian conflict is over and the Israeli public transition from the propaganda content feed to standing in Gaza, witnessing what they’ve done for real. Some will be pleased but many, particylarily the younger generation, will be appauled at what they’ve done. My heart goes out to all those in Palestine suffering right now.

I also hope that no kind hearted Israel citizens were harmed in these attacks from Iran.

It’s as if Trump has just discovered how to lie in politics

AI uses so much more resources than standard search engines and it comes at a time when the whole planet needs to slow down climate change

The attitude you describe is, I believe, the result of capitalist and religious propaganda that reinforces individualism rather than collectivist and non-religious yet spiritual philosophies. Those like Hinduism, Confucianism, Zen and Toaism.

Not to sell any one in particular but the common thread in the East is a different perspective than a boss in the sky eternally judging each individual.

Even if you aren’t religious, advertising will tell you you’re a special, unique and seperate individual. Desiring to stand out as famous, beautiful, smart, funny, strong etc is just a trap but one desired by many. Unfortunately, to be above others, then others must be below you. To be rich, there must be poor.

An understanding of this force of balance shows that to minimise the extremes of poverty you must minimise the extremes of wealth.

The East sees our true self is the larger whole of which we as Humanity are a small part of. While your name may seperate you conceptually, none of us are separate from the air we breath or the stars we see. Nothing is seperate even though the mind feels and believes it is so. Are you really in control? Do you beat your heart? When you make a decision, do you first decide to decide?

I only say all this because, when one genuinely switches thinking this way, then naturally you want to be generous and caring towards all others because you see everything as yourself includeing all that is non human.

These philosophies are not the complete answer to our problems because many of these philosophies were born in China and, even though it’s embedded in their culture, they are still struggling like everyone else. But a more modern widespread common understanding of the true nature of the situation may be beneficial.

Changed only a few weeks ago from Win 11, all the AI crap was creeping in. Using Ubuntu and really enjoying it!

My almost adult son once tried to convince me that dishwashers work better when the dishes aren’t rinsed first.

Doesn’t matter which side you are on, no human should be treated this way.
