Damnit, this is the The Scream dog all over again

yeah, no, there are still not designated toilets for you on this planet @dalekcaan@feddit.nl

Bespoke is a synthesizer first but “like a DAW in some ways, but with less of a focus on a global timeline. Instead, it has a design more optimized for jamming and exploration.” (youtube trailer, wiki, wikipedia)

“But you can’t copy with Ctrl+C, it’s…” - You can. When something is selected It copies selection to clipboard, otherwise it sends SIGINT.

What terminal emulator are you using where ctrl-c copies instead of sending SIGINT when text is selected? In every one I’ve ever used, ctrl-c still sends SIGINT even with text selected (and one must must use ctrl-shift-C/ctrl-shift-V to copy/paste).

I don’t have any suggestion for getting the behavior you’re asking for, but besides the normal ctrl-(shift)-C/V clipboard FYI you also have two other types of clipboard-like things: one which works anywhere (not only in the terminal) and is actually always automatically copying anything you select and lets you paste from it with middle click (this originated with X Windows but i think most Wayland compositors have also implemented it by now), and another which is found in GNU Readline (used by bash and numerous other REPLs) called the “kill buffer” which can be pasted (or “yanked”) from and cut (or “killed”) to using Emacs keyboard shortcuts (which also include various cursor movement controls).

Notes:

• the kill buffer is local to a given readline context, it’s not shared across different shell windows.
• the list of emacs keybindings in that wikipedia article i linked is currently confusingly referring to the kill buffer as “the clipboard”
• you can drastically reconfigure your readline keybindings and other behavior by editing your .inputrc file, but you cannot achieve what you were originally asking for because there is no concept of text selection in readline.

HTH!

I have in fact read Nineteen Eighty-Four; as an aside, I highly recommend reading Isaac Asimov’s review of it as well as some other things you might be surprised to learn about the author.

Anyway, FYI:

Obesity and hunger often go hand in hand

What Is the Hunger-Obesity Paradox?

etc etc 🙄

tell me you didn’t click either link without telling me you didn’t click either link 🤷

Malnutrition perhaps, but nobody in the world’s richest, fattest country - where the fattest people are the poorest ones - is dealing with “hunger”. I wish we could just abstain from manipulative Orwellian language.

If they don’t use a bank, how are they pulling money out for it to be tracked?

One example I mentioned in my comment you’re replying to is check cashing services. Millions of people in the US receive money via things like check or money order and need to change it to cash despite not having a bank account to deposit it in; this usually involves identifying themselves.

See also payday loans, etc.

See, none of it makes any sense lmfao.

I assume you didn’t click (and translate) the link in the comment prior to mine which you replied to?

If you do, from there you can find some industry news about Serial Number Reading (SNR) technology.

I don’t know how widely deployed that technology is, but there is clear evidence that it does exist and is used for various purposes.

I ONLY give other people cash, all my other purchases are debit/credit.

If you always use card payments whenever it’s possible, it obviously isn’t necessary to analyze your cash transactions to learn where you are because you are already disclosing it :)

Like MOST people and stores since Covid

There are close to 2 billion unbanked people in the world. In the US, it’s less than 6% nationally, but over 10% in some states.

Many people who are not unbanked also often avoid electronic payments for privacy/security and other reasons.

The cash serial number tracking being described in this thread is useful for locating the neighborhoods frequented by someone who (a) avoids using electronic payments, and (b) maybe obtains cash from an ATM (or perhaps check-cashing service, in the case of an unbanked person) in places other than the neighborhoods they live in or frequent.

At launch (in 2021) the FireTV was not on the list of Sidewalk-enabled products, but given the fact that Sidewalk was enabled without user consent on many existing devices (and has been found to re-enable itself after being disabled) combined with the fact that FireTV devices all have at least the necessary bluetooth radio (even if not the LoRA part, Sidewalk can use both/either) and thus could become sidewalk-enabled by a software update in the future… I would still say that Sidewalk is a reason (among many) to boycott FireTV along with the rest of Amazon’s products.

The takeaway that Amazon built their own mesh network so that their products in neighboring homes can exfiltrate data via eachother whenever any one of them can get online is not false.

Social graph connections can be automatically inferred from location data. This has been done by governments (example) for a long time and is also done by private companies (sorry I can’t find a link at the moment).

the first link in the post body goes to the Know Your Meme page about it

The text of the new Texas law is here.

I wonder if this will apply to/be enforced on FDroid and Obtainium?

copying my comment from another thread:

“App store” means a publicly available Internet website, software application, or other electronic service that distributes software applications from the owner or developer of a software application to the user of a mobile device.

This sounds like it could apply not only to F-Droid but also to any website distributing APKs, and actually, every other software distribution sysem too (eg, linux distros…) which include software which could be run on a “mobile device” (the definition of which also can be read as including a laptop).

otoh i think they might have made a mistake and left a loophole; all of the requirements seem to depend on an age verification “under Section 121.021” and Section 121.021 says:

When an individual in this state creates an account with an app store, the owner of the app store shall use a commercially reasonable method of verification to verify the individual’s age category

I’m not a lawyer but I don’t see how this imposes any requirements on “app stores” which simply don’t have any account mechanism to begin with :)

(Not to say that this isn’t still immediately super harmful for the majority of the people who get their apps from Google and Apple…)

I suppose it runs on an Arm-Processor

It would be odd if a device labeled “Wintel Pro” had an arm CPU.

Wintel means Windows on Intel, or more broadly Windows on any x86 or x86_64 processor.

sudo apt --update --autoremove upgrade -y

the info line contains the answer:

Info: applications using this runtime: io.github.Hexchat

You need to remove Hexchat if you want to remove the end-of-life runtimes it requires.

I regret to inform you that the maintainer wrote in February 2024: This will be the last release I make of HexChat. The project has largely been unmaintained for years now and nobody else stepped up to do that work.

My computer uses both system and user remotes.

Because my .var directory is almost full, […]

If you’re low on disk space you probably want to have everything installed as either user or system, to avoid having some runtimes installed in both.
