with which I surprised greybeards at the local hackerspace (which was surprising cause I'm the opposite of a expert):

mv photo{tocheck,supercool}.jpg

is the same as

mv phototocheck.jpg photosupercool.jpg

The shell copies an argument with {,} inside, and each resulting argument has a different part of what's in {}.

minioctt, to TikTok Italian

Eccovi una cosa : su invito altrui e promessa che, con una , avrei ricevuto 3 euro di buono Amazon semplicemente aprendo la app ogni giorno, avevo installato e fatto la registrazione, qualche giorno fa. Le premesse, essendo queste, erano buone, non era detto da nessuna parte che avrei dovuto effettivamente usare la e bruciarmi il cervello, per cui, l’ho fatto… Solo che ricevevo un errore ogni volta che provavo ad inserire il codice di , e ci ho provato per svariati , finché ieri il campo per farlo è direttamente scomparso del tutto, presumibilmente perché è passato troppo tempo, e la promozione, valida solo per i nuovi utenti, mi è quindi scaduta. 1 minuto al giorno truffato (non di più, perché i video non li guardavo, lmao, poveri stronzi se pensano che butto il mio tempo così), un pochettino mi rode. 😐️

Ma avevo nel frattempo notato che, non so da quando (sto sulla versione 33.9.4, credo la penultima), hanno finalmente aggiunto un maledetto tasto per salvare in locale i creati dalla in-app, senza prima caricarli sul social, quindi ora ‘sta roba è almeno un po’ più utile. Quindi, anche se ho fatto logout, non ho disinstallato subito la , ma ho voluto perdere un po’ di tempo a cercare se ci fosse un qualche modo per aprire direttamente la , senza passare per la schermata principale, che richiede login con annessa accettazione dei termini legali. Ricordo che un tempo c’era una voce nel menu popup del launcher di Android per farlo, ma ora non mi appare, quindi la prima cosa che mi è venuta in mente è stata di cercare tra le activity dell’app una che facesse al caso mio… Spoiler: l’ho trovata, ma non serviva; è disponibile direttamente un “TikTok ”, che io non avevo visto subito, ops. Ci sono poi altri widget ed activity che, se non al feed principale, riescono quantomeno a far arrivare alla ricerca, e quindi permettono di navigare la in via anonima ma diretta. (Più altre interessanti, dovrei fare un post a parte?) 🪄️

https://octospacc.altervista.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-15.pngIl punto è, tra widget di quel tipo ed activity utili, con questi piccoli si riesce ad usare una buona parte delle funzioni non strettamente di TikTok senza effettivamente accettare né termini di servizio né politica sulla privacy, e quindi senza legalmente cedere la propria anima a nessuno. Fatene buon uso, suppongo, questa roba è grossa: non hanno il diritto di rubarvi alcun dato in questo stato, e se lo fanno lo stesso allora potete portarli in tribunale, perché voi non avete letto alcun messaggio riguardo i termini né cliccato nessun tasto per accettarli tacitamente o meno… insomma, ci si può divertire con la loro camera senza classiche preoccupazioni, oppure ancora fare ricerche e guardare contenuti senza affidarsi a frontend terzi che ogni tanto si rompono. 😈️https://octospacc.altervista.org/2024/03/24/3-euro-truffati-ma-tanta-goduria-guadagnata/

Kenn ihr diesen #Trick auch, dass man Hintertür und Vordertür von Auto weit aufmacht, damit sich Frauen im Notfall zum #Pinkeln dazwischen hinhocken können?

Gerade gesehen: Funktioniert nicht bei riesigen #Pickups...

Ok, der Kopf ist verdeckt.

Große Internetkonzerne tricksen Verbraucher weiterhin aus

Eigentlich ist es den großen Tech-Konzernen mittlerweile verboten, Verhaltensmuster durch Design-Tricks auszunutzen. Doch laut den Verbraucherzentralen werden die Menschen weiterhin ausgetrickst.

So earlier this evening, my partner got a notification that a had been delivered to our -- i.e. in a separate delivery from the usual mail during the day.

I went out to check, and indeed they had left the for package compartment "2B" in our box.

With the key snapped off right at the base of the big plastic "gas station bathroom key attached to a cinderblock" fob...

No package tonight, I guess!

cazabon,

@Satori

So I called the inspector and explained exactly what was going on. He said "This time, he's going to get a real talking-to".

But then he offered to order the carrier to go back to Shoppers, get my package, and deliver it to me that day. I accepted.

I don't think he tried that again, but he moved to a different route shortly thereafter. I have no idea if it was related.

Final #drawing for Drawtober 2023 DeviantArt challenge, this one with prompt #Halloween.

Based on story by @Father on DeviantArt. In short, supernatural being, with outfit between #witch and #fairy, walking in the evening along the forest. She was disappointed how few kids were playing trick or treat. Finally she met a boy, in homemade #dragon #costume, with #pumpkin. The boy was impressed by her outfit, thinking it is only costume and tried to guess if she is a fairy or a witch. She asked him "trick or treat?" and boy, who never thought about tricks seriously, this time decided to choose this. Woman touched his head with her glowing scepter and boy started to turn into real dragon.

cazabon, to privacy

Remember #Patreon set up new on-by-default sharing of your account information with every other Patreon user (and maybe the world)? Remember people posting how to turn it off, because they were using confusing language/dark patterns to try to #trick you into oversharing?

I got the "welcome to the new Patreon" today, and ... they've turned the "Community Profile" setting back on after I deliberately turned it off.

Go check your settings, and opt out -- again.

To help me remember things that are a bit off in the future, I use something I call "Adjecency Reminders". Basically, I put things I need to remember close together in one spot so if I pick one thing I absolutely need and never forget, I immediately see the things I wouldn't remember, because they're not part of the routine.

For example, I want to turn the little freezer back on tomorrow before getting groceries. I always take the bags for that, so the bags are now next to the freezer.

Using the Linux command line doesn't have to be the chore you think it is. Try these two tricks. https://tchlp.com/3r8kOfs #linux #command #line #trick
