Thanks for the downvotes. I need to search questions for an exam I have and I can't do that any other way. It helps me better search the net. I am sorry, it's good. I wish there was a FOSS alternative for it which does as good a job. So, here's how you use Bing Chat on Firefox https://pureinfotech.com/access-bing-chat-ai-chrome-firefox/#bing_chat_firefox

I know for a fact that this will cause problems, but I don't what kind of problems (I have experienced it once, but I rectified it by removing the settings that are mentioned above and I literally forgot about it) edit: Problem 1: Some websites won't load (not sure if it's related, but these websites have cloudfare "security" thing in them)

It was working until yesterday but it isn't now. It was a really nice tool to get better searches from the internet without doing it yourself. Now, I want to know if I am doing something wrong or if MS is shutting off Bing Chat for the infidels who don't use the holy edge browser. I remember this happening when MS first released Bing Chat. They probably let users use it on other browsers for a little while to make sure they become dependent on it.

I mean, we can modify firefox settings and make your browser look like edge, but I very vividly remember regret doing this because I faced a problem asap which was resolved by turning firefox settings back to normal (that one particular setting)

I was browsing the internet and I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WO0zSStdj8

Apparently, it's a squad of Russian Soldiers refusing to go back to the front line. The fat guy says they were NOT getting food or water (yeah I heard it), I am pretty sure he is right. So, what are the types of conditions you have to face to get water and food at soldiers? I mean, I can understand them not getting ammo and man power to get rid of the dead. Probably manufacturing problems and it's dangerous respectively. But yeah, what else? Why would they not get food and water?

[SOLVED]

Bing ChatGPT is THE sh*t man! It got this right in a few secs!!! WOW! Thank you to everyone who answered me, it's due to your help that I was able to solve it through Bing. But holy F, am I impressed with Bing!

I hate MS and I hated bing,BUT they have got something real good here.

find /home/$USER -maxdepth 1 -type f -executable -exec sh -c 'head -n 1 "$1" | grep -q "^#!/bin/bash" && cp "$1" /home/bob/Documents/Linux/Regularly_Copied_files_crontab' sh {} \;

edit: I just want to copy scripts in /home/$USER folder, not all the other subfolders.

edit 2: I think the better approach here would be to have two conditions.

1. The file is in /home/$USER/ and not in it's subfolders.
2. The file's first line should be #!/bin/bash

I don't actually need all executable files, I just want my bash scripts, but unfortunately, I don't have the good habit of giving the .sh extensions to all of them. These files are all executable, they all have a shebang line (`#!/bin/bash) as their first line, how can I copy them elsewhere? I mean, I know how the copy commands work, but I don't know if I can specify the pattern here.

How would I specify a cp command to only copy bash scripts to my docs folder?

Intended Use case: I am trying to create a command to copy all the bash scripts I have created in my home folder to my Documents folder. My docs folder is synced everyday, so I won't ever lose my scripts as they would be stored in the cloud.

find ~ -type f -executable

find /home/user -type f -perm /u+x -not -path "/home/user/Documents" -exec cp {} ~/Documents ;

Question 1:

I want to copy a file to clipboard, how can I do this using cli? I have this file "home/$USER/example.svg" and I want to copy it to clipboard without manually doing it. I tried to ask ChatGPT to help me with it, it didn't :(

I am pretty sure there is a copy to clipboard option in Thunar and Nemo file managers but I don't know how to use it. My google searches have been so far fruitless. Please help me copy it?

Use Case: I want to copy it and paste it to Obsidian.md file. Obsidian is a text manager which supports Mathjax but not Latex, so in order to get a semblance of greater Latex support, I want to convert tex to svg and copy it from the folder to clipboard (without opening the folder) and then paste it.

Question 2: Do you have a anonymous file sharing service you use to share videos and images? If so, what is it? imgur helps with images and videos lower than 1 mins, but above that, it won't accept uploads.

Also, bashify.io and emalm.com seems to be ok ok in this regard. The problem is, I don't know enough about them to trust them. mehh....

Use case: If I have a problem with my system, I want to share the video of the problem I am facing to Linux forums and I want it to be instantly accessible

Question 3: Is it ok to move random file script you find on the internet into a root folder which is included in your $PATH variable?

https://github.com/tremby/imgur.sh

I was trying to use this script and it is my understanding that if you have a script in a folder included in your path variable, then you don't have to actually specify the path to run it. You can just give it's name and press enter to execute it.

am I right so far and should I move that script into my path variable folder? What are the risks?

Ik, I probably should not be lurking on Reddit anyways, but we are missing a lot of communities here. The only communities I can reliably follow and get quality content is this one and c/linux, c/privacy and some FOSS subs

But if I want something else, reddit is the only alternative. Now, I don't want to give any more of my data and the government of India isn't really known for it's tolerance of free speech they don't like, so, is there a way to create an account on reddit using tor which won't be blocked as soon as it's created.

I feel like giving a email account would make it work (I have seen it remove many hurdles while using reddit without tor) so, is there a email service that reddit doesn't block which will make my reddit account created through tor as good as a normal reddit account.

PS: If I comment is posted then it will be visible on your profile, but it won't be visible to anyone else on reddit. You can't upvote. You are essentially a ghost, this can be very useful saving stuff and all, but without the ability to post, it isn't that helpful. Reddit automatically blocks protonmail and tutanota mails :")

I connected my phone to my laptop and turned on USB tethering and removed all my sims from my phone, but it was still showing upload and download values and some torrents were downloading and uploading. How is this possible if I have 0 internet? I mean, my phone wasn't connected to wifi and my laptop was still getting internet. Somewhat weird I think? What are the possible explanations here?

If there are no possible explanations, can I declare this a miracle and myself GOD!? :)

[Gnome Calendar Flatpak + Evolution seems to do this fine] /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/evolution-alarm-notify seemed to be notifying me of tasks. Thank you for all the help.

Some relevant command which might have helped me get the alarm notification thing working

https://paste.debian.net/plain/1293331 backup: https://pastebin.com/pu53kp1d

I need Calendar but EVERY app I have tried so far doesn't support background notifications or don't run on my system. I want one good app, flatpak or not which can

1. Notify me of tasks, to do lists etc
2. Give me notifications for the mails I receive.

I don't know why, even evolution won't do this for me.

Thank you for your help! I installed flatpak Gnome Calendar after using 1 GB of internet bandwidth but no luck

edit: It can't send notifs :( https://lemmy.ml/comment/4138651

Is there a way to fix this? I am using an app called Superproductivity, it's a productivity app where you can schedule tasks and keep track of them. Now, the trouble is, it won't run in the background and it won't send me notifications. This seems to be common for all Snaps I have installed, is there a way to solve this and make it notify me even when it's not open?

Also, it also have an app image, do app images have the capacity to notify when they are not open? I have heard they can't run in the background.

Thank you to everyone who try to help me here :)

edit: I ain't complaining. If reddit engagement is dying and forums are taking it's place, Forums are more private and I generally hate reddit :)

I want to know just who these people are? I mean, the success of forums have been a surprise to me. And recently, in my experience Tech reddits (linux distros and such) haven't been getting as much attention as they used to get.

If I have a question regarding MX Linux or someone has asked a question regrading it, it seems reasonable to me that I would find it on Reddit. Since there are generally more people on reddit than on forums and reddit is like a super forum with almost everything under the sun attached to it and showing up in your feed. So, I might not be passionate enough to just stay on MX forum, but I will get enough variety on reddit that I will be able to stay interested and browse it more.

I don't know enough about MX Linux to frequent the forums, not do I want to know/read every small issue someone else has. But, if I come across a post on reddit while I am just browsing through my feed, I will make sure I try to help them as much as possible, but yeah, I don't see myself going to forums to try and help people. So, I don't get why forums are so successful.

Are there really so many people to frequent forums and provide answers to people who seem to be in trouble. I love MX but it's not my passion and frankly, I am surprised that there are many people for whom it seems like it is.

I care a lot about what other people think (not good) and if someone tries to help or helps me, I can't stay without saying thank you. I really want to thank people who comment on my posts. But many times I ask a lot of questions and I thus reply to a lot of comments and try to be polite and show how grateful I am. So, now, I have seen many people abandoning their posts after they get their answer without upvotes or replies or followups, I am pretty sure they are better at time management than I am. Now, what do you think?

What is the right way to behave when you post and random strangers help you? I know you all don't think about me all the time and if you made a comment you probably will forget about it, so is it ok to just upvote and forget even the people who help you? I have an exam in a few months and I should not be wasting my time rn, what would you do if you were in my place?

Don't say "dont' create posts" because I like the people here and the answers they give, but yeah, it's a hell of a job to reply "satisfactorily". Again, should I just "upvote and ignore"?

Also, I just want to say that people here are amazing. You guys are very helpful! Like, especially on c/linux! Such helpful communities are one of the things that make Linux great and more usable! Thank you to the folks at c/linux btw

Is this a known issue? If you type in somewhere it will be replaced by

Don't get me started on how this messes up linux commands and scripts, Is this a me problem or a lemmy problem? I need to study, if this is a known problem, then fine, but if it isn't then it needs to be reported.
