Had read about them recently when looking up about bookmarklets:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Userscript

Which userscript manager do you use? What are your opinions/advice on security of using them?

Also, are there other similar things like bookmarklets and userscripts that regular people can start off fast?

Are there any lemmy communities or resouces(wikis, forums, youtube channels etc) that are on the topic of simple/beginner-friendly automation and customisation?

Thanks in advance

Got to know of them recently. They seem very cool.
Like, I don't have to install anything extra.

https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-are-bookmarklets/
https://bk7312.github.io/bookmarklets/

I especially like this one that shows Id links. Useful while sharing wikipedia links:
https://github.com/madacol/web-automation/blob/master/bookmarklets/Id%20Linker.js

And

This one which helps to use text fragments:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62989058/how-does-text-in-url-work-to-highlight-text#answer-76131511

Discliamer: Be careful with copy-pasting bookmarklets into your browser. Only do so if you trust it.

Which all bookmarklets do you use, find useful?
Please share them.

Are there similar easy things that most people sort of easily have access to? I think Libreoffice's/Excel's record macro function would be useful for people too.

Are there any communities for similar things, sort-of like beginner automation?

Thanks in advance.

It would be cool if they added an option to search and select multiple bookmarks and move them to a folder.
Currently they allow selecting bookmarks and moving them, but not inside search.

Having that would make bookmark management very easy.

It is currently summer in India.

Are there any behavioural or infra modifications that would help handle the increased heat?
I have read about how white roofs would reduce heat absorption and energy needed for cooling
Are there other things like that? Especially ones that regular people can try? The other type(policy decision type) are ok too tho. Would be good to know them.

Also, are there any communities that would have discussions on such topics? Like a TIL or DIY community where people talked about general issues and solutions.
Is it this community?

Totally logical and humane analysis

Only one nation has ever used atomic weapons on civillians. That nation has done that twice. And the same nation has a habit of threatening nuclear attack and also of carpet bombing.

U S S R(had), P R C and India have a No First use policy for atomic weapons. The nation I mentioned earlier and its allies don't have any such policy. Sure, one may say that No first use stuff is just sly behaviour, then why don't the other countries also do that? Because they want to dominate and control?

That itself shows the difference. Knowing that, this shows how they would rather avoid serious wars that lead to a loss of many lives, unless they are forced to.

I think the most recent documentary film I saw was Sicko. Saw it being shared after the insurance CEO issue.

Just shared a recent example I remember, films from all language or region are ok.

I can search in the bookmarks section and see some bookmarks that I want to remove, but can't select them while in the bookmark search results.

Is there any way to select multiple bookmarks based on a name or link and delete them?

I do know that I can do it by syncing to a PC and deleting it from there, but asking to see if there are alternatives ways.

How do(or how would) you handle this issue?

Searched the net about it, but most of the articles on List all tabs seems to be on how to remove it

They have no issues with sanctions on Cuba and NK, right?

Considering even this:

In your locality, region, state, country etc
Any orgs like that.

Examples from the area I'm from, Kerala:

  1. Kudumbasree or Prosperity of the family
    Org that was setup by the state govt to empower women, reduce poverty etc.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudumbashree

  2. Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad or Kerala Science Literature Movement
    Org with the aim to improve scientific temper
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_Sasthra_Sahithya_Parishad

Another org that I've recently heard about in the state of Maharashtra, India:
Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti or Committee Eradication of Blind Faith, Maharsashtra
Read about how the leader of the org was gunned down by religious extremists
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharashtra_Andhashraddha_Nirmoolan_Samiti

Have been thinking of reducing hair length as it's nearing summer in my place and the temperature is rising. I generally choose a shorter(relatively) hairstyle during the summer and monsoon, because it feels cooler in the former and easier to dry in the second one.

Was thinking about it and remembered reading on how the hair on the head helps to reduce effects of UV rays. I don't stay out in the sun too much, so likely not an issue for me.

Started thinking about what the range of best summer hairstyles would be for people of different hair type(straight, curly, wavy/inbetween both) etc. and asking about it here to see how/what other people on think about it.

And what would take for it to be noticed?

How often do you clean it too?

One of my bluetooth earphones fell on a footpath, as I was trying to put it back into its case.
Now I'm thinking about the germs that may have gotten on it n all. Generally, I use some sanitizer to clean it from time to time.

Looking to see how others would clean their earphones in such a situation too

As an Indian, I think they seem more well-planned and more decent than recent USAmerica.
India and China does have border issues, but I do respect them as I agree with their leftist view of reducing poverty and improving literacy. I think our countries could come to decent compromise there.
Also, the communism aspects.

But saying that a single country is the future is too simple.

And even the Chinese seem to be not emulating America to be an empire.
I think their aim is a multi-polar world. Atleast if the random yt vids I saw are proper representations.

Recently?

How a lawyer in America got jailed for legally fighting against(and defeating) an American multi-national oil company that polluted the Amazon and more importantly harmed the lives and health of the locals with the pollution.

Xi would not hurt civillians like that. Only one country has used nukes on civillians.
He probably would not want to be on the same list as them on it.

[-] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 11 months ago

Why?
They'd just need to get property in the safer places.

I think they'd improve research in automation and AI. So that they can have their stuff, without having to rely on regular people who'd be wiped out or affected by climate change in the long run.

Batman is a CEO, right?

He just goes after the ones he can beat without much backlash from the public/system.

Imagine if he takes down a CEO. He'd not be able to play batman. Gordon and batman sympathisers would be affected, so Batman's human connection in the police would be lost. He can hack stuff, but might not always be enough.

He can do other stuff, but he can only do it gradually and much more tactfully.

They are taught about it from childhood and many of us don't questions stuff we've learnt in our childhood.

Education fails to instil scientific temper in them

Lack of proper mental health awareness and support.

Using it since it's the app from a lemmy dev.
It's decent for my use.
Tho, some option simulating the multireddit option would be good. But it might be becoming a feature request for lemmy than a lemmy app there.

Isn't that generally said by countries that oppose them?

The land of the less authoritarian had race discrimination until half a century ago, right? Seeing the BLM, it seems to have a prominent role even now. So are they any better?
