YQPkg - Standalone Qt Package Selector

This is a fork of the YaST Qt package selector as a standalone Qt program without any YaST dependencies. It works directly with libzypp.

This video is a bit older now (over one year), but I just found about it. And I want to share it here, because it was very well explained, without boring stock videos or background music. It's just like a teacher would teach you, but with some enthusiasm behind it. I enjoy his videos so far.

Why is the speed of light the same in all reference frames? Let's rediscover the thought experiments that led Einstein to his special theory of relativity

Chapters:

00:00 Introduction
01:15 1/3 Detect motion with particles? (Thought experiment)
04:01 Inertia doesn't allow detecting constant velocity motion
06:18  2/3 Detect motion with waves? (Thought experiment) 
09:18 Medium doesn't allow detecting constant velocity motion
10:15 Constant velocity motion is RELATIVE!
11:02 3/3 Detect motion with light? (Thought experiment)
13:12 Does light break relativity? 
13:46 Michelson & Morley's experiment (oversimplified) 
14:20 The logical conclusion - Speed of light is same in all frames

I use YouTube in dark mode quite a while now and this was not an issue, until recently. For whatever reason the text for the comment I am writing is in black now, rather than white. Does anyone know why that is? Surely I can find some workaround by forcing the color for the domain, but it would be nicer to know the actual reason and fix the problem.

A hilarious blog post of a studio who discovered there games are pirated. They even say

Of course, I would feel very bad if anybody paid $120 for a free game

This is a reminder to user sudoedit. Especially useful for Vim and Neovim users who have a rich and personal configuration.

sudoedit /etc/fstab

is also an option. sudoedit is a short form for sudo -e. It uses the default editor set int EDITOR or VISUAL variable. The difference to sudo vim FILE or sudo nano FILE is, that sudoedit FILE will use the editor configuration from the current user instead from the root. For me this makes a huge difference, because my plugins and settings for Neovim are not used when doing sudo vim.

Man page: https://linux.die.net/man/8/sudoedit

-e' The -e (edit) option indicates that, instead of running a command, the user wishes to edit one or more files. In lieu of a command, the string "sudoedit" is used when consulting the security policy. If the user is authorized by the policy, the following steps are taken:

1. Temporary copies are made of the files to be edited with the owner set to the invoking user.

2. The editor specified by the policy is run to edit the temporary files. The sudoers policy uses the SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables (in that order). If none of SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR are set, the first program listed in the editor sudoers(5) option is used.

3. If they have been modified, the temporary files are copied back to their original location and the temporary versions are removed.

If the specified file does not exist, it will be created. Note that unlike most commands run by sudo, the editor is run with the invoking user's environment unmodified. If, for some reason, sudo is unable to update a file with its edited version, the user will receive a warning and the edited copy will remain in a temporary file.

I started to learn how to use FLTK in Rust this year, so its fair to assume this update is specifically made for me; its so obvious. FLTK is basically a suckless toolkit for GUIs, with the goal of being small, light and standalone without being complicated. It is very small and can be compiled into the app without runtime requirements. It has most common functionality you would expect from a toolkit and should work cross platform.

Happy to see this update! Need to experiment and learn more about it soon for my first FLTK app.

Reddit seems to use Ai to analyze images, so the content can be indexed by the search. In example I searched for my name (which is also used for the my blog) to see if there are recent posts with "thingsiplay", because I saw some spike in the stats. But what I instead found is a screenshot of a comment from me made in YouTube. There is no text attached to the post or title, so it must have analyzed the content, right?

Or did I miss something and I make myself a fool here? Does any other community software or forum do this? Is this covered in their User Agreement?

Go down to the page and click the gun. Then you can pick up every element on the page, such as graphics and text. Put it in the bin or throw it around; the window wraps on left and right side (like if it is a Portal...). I find this really cool.
