  • Surprisingly, VLC has a simple screen recording feature in the GUI. Record by screen or by individual app.

    VLC also has a very comprehensive cli.

    vlc -H gives almost every possible option with useful descriptions of them You can configure everything to your needs. Inputs, outputs, framerate, audio and video encoders, muxers, filters, network live stream or to file or both, in the background, etc. Everything

    GUI

    One page of the advanced settings options (using the -H option gives me 60 full pages of options in this portrait format)











  • *edit: it was late and I was throwing ideas. I made a solution that actually works in another comment.

    I’m thinking you could have separate color profiles with a script that to change the file using symbolic link?

    (I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m a figure it out as I go type, but maybe it’ll work. Please help!)

    You’d need something like shizuku (allows shell operation permission) or root to be able to read the system dark mode status.

    Using shizuku you could call it by

    rish -c 'cmd uimode night'

    Which would show

    Night mode: yes / no

    If you did that you could us an if statement (I don’t really know how to write that out confidently at the moment)

    And use that fuction to change the symbolic link to the color.properties file instead of the at a specific time I used below.

    So you keep 2 (or more) color profiles in separate files and call those locations to link to based on time of day / uimode.

    You could put the script in the .boot (to automatically start) or .shortcut (to start with the widget) Or maybe add the command to run the script in the termux bash_bashrc or profile file to have it execute on each session launch.

    #!/bin/sh

    at 1200 #noon

    ln -sf [/path/to/new_file] ~/.termux/color.properties

    at 1900 #7pm

    ln -sf [/path/to/new_file] ~/.termux/color.properties


  • If you haven’t already, you can turn on automatic uodates in Mint.

    Next time the update icon shows up, go to preferences from the menu and you can allow it to automatically update. You’ll still occasionally see the update icon but it usually self updates daily.

    You can set flatpak, normal updates and spices (cinnamon applets) independently.




  • And I fucking quote myself in my comment above

    distinction between foss and open source.

    You said the comment in which I gave the fucking definition of Foss as written by the people who wrote the very definition of Foss was not foss.

    You just gave me a link within the link that gives the definition of Foss about what Foss isn’t.

    It isn’t me that needs to read better.

    Go away.



  • You said what I posted was not Foss.

    It came from the very essence of Foss.

    It gave the very definition of Foss.

    From the people who started Foss movement .

    On the site run by the people who continue to promote and advocate for Foss.

    And explains the distinction between Foss and open source.

    What about that is unclear?

    Post something else about open souce, please.

    Tell me again how that is not what Foss is.

    Please, guide me.

    (What you cleverly replied with is in the link I posted ffs)
