Argument against "I have nothing to hide" in c/privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Be careful. According to Privacy Guides and the Arkenfox wiki, neither LocalCDN nor Decentraleyes do much abou privacy. Personally, I only have uBO with some additional filters, and on my laptop I've configured it in medium mode. Also, I use NextDNS.

The image says "making", not "rebranding".

What piece of software is all that you'll need to use? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Obsidian. I can write notes, write papers, organize my time and ideas, and connect them with each other. I can make my workflow as simple or complex as I want. And the fact that every note is just a markdown file makes it even better: it's a guarantee that I'll never be locked in a proprietary ecosystem.

Books, cats, coffee and drawing/painting. I could also say "working", as my job is reading, learning and being amazed (I'm a biologist).

Yes, that's true. But my issue is that I need to export my notes before opening them in another app. With Obsidian, I can just edit any of my notes in GNOME Text Editor, or vim, or Windows Notepad, or TextEdit, whenever I want, and when I return to Obsidian, all my edits are there, without that whole export/import process.

Same. I don't like Joplin for the same reason. I mean, the encryption feature is super good and all, but if I can't edit my notes in any app I want whenever I want, then it's a no-go for me.

  • American McGee's Alice
  • Stronghold (the first one)

I'm not a gamer, but these two games are almost indispensable for me. Yes, there are Madness Returns and other Strongholds, but I've never really played them.

I'm not that much of a gamer, but I remember many years ago I bought a Spawn game for the PSOne because I wanted to buy something and Spawn was still somewhat cool (don't know if it still is, really). It was slow, ugly, with awkward controls and whenever you confronted an enemy the game play changed into something like Tekken or Bloody Roar, but with much worse controls. After you defeated the enemy it changed back to a 3rd person perspective. I didn't even make it to the first boss, I simply put it away and went to play Syphon Filter for the 30th time.

Panspermia, by melodysheep. Part of his "Life Beyond" series. Highly recommended if you like science, biology, astrobiology and existential crisis.

Udev rule that triggers a script whenever I plug headphones/speakers to the 3.5mm jack? (lemmy.world)
 

Hello. I want to write an Udev rule to change my laptops's EasyEffects profile whenever I connect a speaker set or headphones to the 3.5mm jack. The concept is relatively simple: when I connect something to the jack, I want it to fire a script that will set this Dconf setting:

gsettings set com.github.wwmm.easyeffects last-loaded-output-preset 'None'

And when I unplug the speakers/headphones, it'll set this:

gsettings set com.github.wwmm.easyeffects last-loaded-output-preset 'Laptop'

("None" and "Laptop" are EasyEffects profiles).

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find useful info, since almost all of the results I found online refer to Bluetooth or USB devices. I checked within /sys/class/sound/ and /dev/ for a file where I could query the status of the jack (something like "connected"/"disconnected") but I can't find something relevant. I have a similar rule that changes GNOME's font scaling when I plug my HDMI display, and it does that by running this script:

function monitorConnected () {
  statuses=$(cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-{1,2,3,4}/status 2>/dev/null)    
  for status in ${statuses[@]}                                                
  do                                                                          
        [[ ${status} == "connected" ]] && return 0                              
  done                                                                        
  return 1                                                                    
  }

So I thought that I could do something similar for the 3.5mm jack. Or maybe there's another method? Any hints? My OS is Fedora 41 and I'm using Pipewire, btw.
