pointless
Here’s another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PriwCi6SzLo (including an interview with the great Alexandra Elbakyan).
Cory Doctorow recently wrote about this in some detail (incl. helpful links): https://pluralistic.net/2024/08/16/the-public-sphere/#not-the-elsevier
The torrents are alive; as long as you can get the torrent links from libgen, you have access to the files. (No need to share whole archives either, you can pick & choose).
‘surely you get …’ ---- not necessarily; contributions that satisfy feature requests are unlikely to be welcomed with open arms if they don’t already fit the core maintainers’ overall strategy. Some projects are very flexible about this; but Gnome is notoriously not.
… and even if the commissioned feature patch remains private, it might break on the next update, which would be a waste.
lemmy is already written in rust, though.
Amateurs. I got 0 during the last 42 years.
Putting the following with executable permissions inside ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/SCRIPTNAME adds a right click menu to Nautilus that serves the same purpose:
#!/bin/bash
CLIPBD=''
[[ "${XDG_SESSION_TYPE}" == "x11" ]] && CLIPBD='xsel -ib'
[[ "${XDG_SESSION_TYPE}" == "wayland" ]] && CLIPBD='wl-copy --trim-newline' && wl-copy --clear
echo -n "${NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS}" \
| tee >(xargs -I {} notify-send "Path Copied:" "{}") \
| ${CLIPBD}
The ‘notify-send’ bit isn’t necessary; it just puts up a notification.
Mentioning only because it’s a simple demonstration of a pretty easy way to extend Nautilus for all kinds of purposes; w/o messing around with the pygobject interface. (There’s supposed to be an xdg standard for file manager extensions like this, but managers use their own custom folders, syntax, etc. for such extensions. I think pcmanfm adheres to the standard; Dolphin requires a .desktop file somewhere; Thunar, Caja, & Nemo work similar to Nautilus.)
My experience is very limited, especially on GTK3; but I think GTK4 really streamlined listview/model operations, especially with the newly introduced GtkExpression, & the ability to bind GObject properties to expressions that the toolkit will figure out when to evaluate & plug in.
The following blog entries help establish the fundamental concepts pretty well, I think: https://blog.gtk.org/2020/06/07/scalable-lists-in-gtk-4/ https://blog.gtk.org/2020/06/08/more-on-lists-in-gtk-4/ https://blog.gtk.org/2020/09/08/on-list-models/ — but the crux of the matter really is GObject, & signalling; & ToshioCP’s tutorial fills an important gap in the existing body of documentation.
Also, the Lists section on the Gtk4 Demo app is really helpful (e.g., the comments on the ‘Clocks’ example explain how to use GtkExpression really well: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/main/demos/gtk-demo/listview_clocks.c?ref_type=heads#L2 ).
– EDIT: Also, I think the new GJS ‘GTK4 Book’ does a good job explaining the new widgets & data structures – so even if you aren’t using the JS bindings, the code examples can be helpful: https://rmnvgr.gitlab.io/gtk4-gjs-book/application/list-widgets/ ; I never used GJS (just C, and pygobject); but the GJS book helped me quite a bit wrt the ListStore, and setting up DBus connectivity:
Not an answer to the question, but the ‘ToshioCP’ tutorials on gtk4 & gobject have been very helpful to me, to wrap my mind around the relevant concepts in C: https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gtk4-tutorial; https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gobject-tutorial — the gobject tutorial is probably even more helpful than the gtk4 tutorial, as it explains signal handling etc.

Where’s the ‘PtrSc’ key? On Peter’s keyboard presumably.
I’ve seen paraphrases of the same thing at least 4 times so far. Multiple mothers confused about the terminology it seems.
Sure if you drag it through the garden.
What I can’t quite make sense of, is how ‘James’ itself is a diminuitive of ‘Jacob’.
I believe ‘Harry’ is the Welsh version of English ‘Henry’, & German ‘Heinrich’. … At least that’s the impression I got from Shakespeare’s ‘Henriad’ plays (H. IV 1-2, & H. V)
GNU-Epoch is not the UNIX-Epoch.
Hi; I rely on nvidia-smi mostly; but the nvidia-settings gui app also shows temperatures & wattage (though that app might be x11-only).
awk predates perl as well as python by a pretty large margin (1978); it’s useful, of course, for processing things in a pipeline, but as it became obsolete as a general-purpose scripting language, users have had less and less of a reason to learn its syntax in detail – so nowadays it shows up in one-liners where it could be replaced by a tiny bit of cut.
I had worked through a good bit of the O’Reilly ‘sed & awk’ book – the first programming book I got, after being enticed by shell scripting in general. Once I learned a bit of Python, & got better at vim scripting, though, I started using it less and less; today I barely remember its syntax.
Chromium has been running on a fork of WebKit called ‘blink’ for a while now; ‘bare’ WebKit is closer to Safari.
‘Oxford Scholarship Online’ would license different sets of books to different departments; so someone from the philosophy department couldn’t get access to books classified under sociology or history.
Imagine doing something similar at the checkout table in a ‘physical’ library.
