Gibt es eigentlich irgendwelche Tricks um zu lernen flüssig(er) zu sprechen wenn man sich um eine Sekunde versetzt selbst hört?

What's this glass thing called? It looks like a mahlstick* but I've never seen one this tiny or used in this way.

AI use is over hyped by the MBA-itis crowd not competent engineers: it's the new Dot Com Bubble. Yet I don't expect AI to go away anymore than the web did, post crash.

* When do you think the bubble bursts?
* What sorts of corporate Darwinism events will be required to see that happen?
* Post bubble, what do AI workflows actually look like, 5 or 10 years from now?
* What does a Jr. Dev job look like, post bubble?
* Who really succeededs and who really fails, when the bubble bursts?

Is there a way to block follow requests [in Mastodon web interface] that are from fake "Help me I'm in Palestine" accounts? I already have a filter for "chuffed.org" but that seems to only apply to posts and not follow requests.

I need help with my yt-dlp/mpv redirection userscript. (I am a JS beginner)

The userscript should take the current URL (location.href), replace https:// with ytdl://, and close the tab. I made it load only on URLs matching specific regex, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBXY_AyA0bo.

My problem is that ytdl:// URIs are instantly handed off to mpv, and do not show up in the URL bar. I need a way to detect that handoff, and this prevents me from simply running :
```
if (/^ytdl/.test(window.location.href))
window.close;
```

Closing regardless of handoff success creates a bug : It closes the tab when the browser pops a dialog asking "allow this site open this link in mpv?", not giving the user time to click or read anything.

Currently, I am forced to comment out the window.close line for every new site I want to "always allow", then re-enable it.

Is there an event signal, or visibility change, anything my userscript can detect? Either detect the successful handoff, or detect the browser 'allow this site" dialog. The former would be "yes you can close.window" and the latter "no you can't close.window". Either would work for me.

edit : detecting a first-time execution on specific sites would work too, just need to automate disabling window.close on these specific cases.

Given the FFMPEG stuff and wanting to update my systems, is it still considered unsafe to upgrade AUR packages or can I update those now?
