metadata-cleaner ist fidne ich ein nützliches Tool, um Metadaten in PDFs zu entfernen. Hatte ich für Bewerbungsunterlagen nach einem Tool gesucht und dieses gefunden. Zuerst über die APT-Paketverwaltung installiert, aber dann doch lieber als Flatpak, da das APT-Paket recht veraltet ist und keine Updates mehr zu bekommen scheint. 1/3

the time says it all, lower caps on top: it's application time. i'm tired. why do new application portals have to be so fiddly and ask (again) for every kind of detail via scroll-down menu? and then, sure, random failures, because impossible-to-have metadata is missing. that's digital waste. dear d. graeber, you are missed.

25 Years of Mass Surveillance [is 25 years too many]

One of the many legacies of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 is the government-wide shift from targeted surveillance—such as individual wiretaps or pen register/trap and trace orders—to mass surveillance techniques—such as tapping into the internet backbone or mass collection of telephone or internet metadata.

Arguably the main purpose of the new Steam Machine really is to be the screen and keyboard on the treadmil desk.
Finally, that thing isn't running of the portable games console, and is capable of doing actual work.
Haven't spent much time with Arch or KDE before, let alone this SteamOS variant in particular.
Weird and funny that's it's username is 'deck' and it's hostname is 'steamdeck'
Half an hour at a potentially-keep-it-up-all-day sedate pace.
The work I got done is entirely just configuring this machine though 😆
Here's the bash script I now have which I can copy to a new steam machine, and maybe any Arch / KDE machine, to install Vim and set up keyboard shortcuts so you can move the windows around with ctrl-alt-J and the keys around that on the keyboard. Nine shortcuts for nine sides/corners/center.
