  • So far, this isn’t much of anything.

    Telegram already closes public channels reported for copyright violations.

    Some excerpts from this post:

    Compared to other platforms, we do not see the seriousness of Telegram to cooperate.

    . . .

    In May 2023, progress appeared to be going in the wrong direction. Telegram was reportedly refusing to cooperate with the Ministry of Communications and Digital on the basis it did not wish to participate in any form of politically-related censorship.

    . . .

    With no obviously public comment from Telegram on the matter, it’s hard to say how the social platform views its end of what appears to be an informal agreement.

    Telegram will be acutely aware, however, that whatever it gives, others will demand too. That may ultimately limit Telegram’s response, whatever it may be, whenever it arrives – if it even arrives at all.





  • By default you can use left and right bracket keys [] to adjust speed, and it should do adjustments to make the pitch sound the same.

    To adjust the pitch alone, you can have something like this in your input.conf, customized as you like:

    ALT+p af toggle @rb
    ALT+UP af-command rb multiply-pitch 1.25
    ALT+DOWN af-command rb multiply-pitch 0.8
    ALT+LEFT af-command rb set-pitch 1.0
    

    I haven’t looked at this in a long time. If you always need this there’s likely a conf option to always enable the “rubber band” (@rb) filter. And maybe other commands than multiply that would be better.


    EDIT: Sorry, I don’t have this quite right. Maybe someone can correct me.








  • No. In addition to browsers’ prefers-dark-mode setting, there is also the fallback foreground and background color choice, used whenever a website does not specify a foreground or background color. One common case is when viewing a plain unstyled site or txt file.

    A dark-mode preferring user might choose for these fallbacks a light foreground and dark background. The problem is then that some designers will carelessly specify either the foreground or background color (and not both), assuming that their choice will happen to have good contrast with every user’s browser preferences.

    More low contrast examples from the Statamic docs:

    Statamic search field

    Statamic adspace

    In Firefox’s preferences page those settings are accessed with the “Manage Colors” button just below dark-mode selection, and look like this:

    Firefox Preferences -- Manage Colors

    Notice that I am not overriding any colors specified by the page.






  • For Arch Linux:

    • support a different process supervisor
      • dinit, or
      • s6 with some high level sugar
    • don’t use Bash anywhere
      • port down to POSIX, and
      • port up to Zsh
      • port minimal launchers to execline
    • replace PKGBUILD format, maybe with
      • nearly identical but Zsh
      • NestedText containing Zsh snippets
        • use this to render Zsh based on templates
          • my favorite template engine: wheezy.template
    • build packages with more optimizations, like the CachyOS repos
    • include or endorse something like aconfmgr
    • port conf files to NestedText
