For those out of the loop, like me, from Wikipedia:

Captology is the study of computers as persuasive technologies.[1] This area of inquiry explores the overlapping space between persuasion in general (influence, motivation, behavior change, etc.) and computing technology.[2] This includes the design, research, and program analysis of interactive computing products (such as the Web, desktop software, specialized devices, etc.) created for the purpose of changing people's attitudes or behaviors.[3]

B. J. Fogg in 1996 derived the term captology from an acronym: Computers As Persuasive Technologies. In 2003, he published the first book on captology, entitled Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to Change What We Think and Do.[4]

Captology is not the same thing as Behavior Design, according to BJ Fogg who is the person who coined both terms and created the foundation for both areas.

I was going to suggest yt-dlp, but this seems to be for android... right? In that case, I don't know if yt-dlp works there.

Anyway, for those on PCs, you can use yt-dlp "PLAYLIST_URL".

Some useful options:

• --download-archive videos.txt: this will keep track of downloaded files in case you want to interrupt an continue later. You can change the filename videos.txt to whatever you want.
• -R infinite --file-access-retries infinite --fragment-retries infinite --retry-sleep http:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep fragment:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep file_access:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep extractor:exp=1:20: infinite retries for different error types, for those with unreliable connections.
• -o "%%(playlist_index)s - %%(title)s.%%(id)s.%%(ext)s": output file format
• --cookies cookies.txt: if it's a private list, you will need to provide your (yt-logged-in-)browser cookies. See cookies.txt add-on.

Other proposed solutions are valid, I just wanted to add that...

So in my address bar I can type work and it will open up 5 pages that will be associated to that keyword.

To get exactly this behaviour, you can have a bookmarklet with the keyword work and this in the URL field:

javascript:(() => { ['https://ddg.gg', 'https://google.com'].forEach(w => window.open(w)) })();

Some notes:

• You can change the list of URLs with what you want to be open.
• The first time you run it, it will ask you to allow it to open multiple tabs. But it should remember the answer for next executions.
• Is possible to add arguments for advanced use cases

I watched the video yesterday and I couldn't really understand what the plan is. What I got was something like "the corps are too big for the consumers to do anything and laws are very slow to made".

Did I miss something about the "audacious(?)" plan?

A population bottleneck or genetic bottleneck is a sharp reduction in the size of a population due to environmental events such as famines, earthquakes, floods, fires, disease, and droughts

Ok, how many coins for a cinnamon roll?

AFAIK, they are used as relays.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-bit_computing#1-bit

Computers and microcomputers may also be used, but they tend to overcomplicate the task and often require highly trained personnel to develop and maintain the system. A simpler device, designed to operate on inputs and outputs one-at-a-time and configured to resemble a relay system, was introduced. These devices became known to the controls industry as programmable logic controllers (PLC).

No worries, it seems to not be working properly, not your fault! :)

I see you posted this article to 4 communities. According to the comments on this post if you use the cross post function (in the default web frontend), it will only show once in the feeds instead of 4 times (which can be a bit annoying).

If you use an app or a different frontend, I don't know if it'll work.
It's also possible that you have crossposted them and lemmy is not grouping them properly, in that case, please ignore this comment.

Thanks

You are correct in thinking it's NSFW, from Scat - Wikipedia, whith many other meanings, but the one you are looking for is probably this one:

Scat is an alternate term for feces, particularly of wild carnivores

• Scatophilia, a sexual paraphilia involving feces

LightDM says it's a Display Manager.

I know that naming is hard but, oh my..., terms are so confusing when you're starting:

• Desktop Environment
• Windows Manager
• Desktop Manager
• Display Manager
• Tiling Window Manager
• Compositing Window Manager

... I'm still not sure which ones are synonyms, sub categories or independent components :/.

but going past that (...) gets real obnoxious with how it saturates "all".

I agree. My current strategy is to have list of 10-to-20-ish small communities I think can succeed and try to post to them every day or two.

I took a look and one of your communities is (since a couple of days ago) on that list: !gameart@sopuli.xyz

See you there!

I'm an ultra-noob, so those who know more please correct me.

I'm playing with Linux VMs and recently I installed Debian to check it out. When it asked what DE I wanted, I chose all of them :).

The only hard conflict (AFAIK) is the [compontent / feature responsible for loging in] (I don't know the technical term). Because each DE comes with a different one, you need to choose one.

What I found very confusing in practice is that I could see some DE apps and configuration settings from other DEs. So, unless you know what belongs to what, it's a bit of a mess (in my VERY limited experience).

Of course I could be wrong, but I don't agree.

When people go to a community in which its last post was 2 weeks ago, it's much less likely that they interact with that community (posting or commenting) than if the community has multiple posts per day. And that also affects the possibility that they come back in the next days. If you set the proper environment for enough users to interact and come back then, when the "campaign" ends, the level can be much greater than when it started.

I'm not saying that just posting a lot in a community for a few days guarantees it will grow after that, that's not how communities work. What I'm saying is that it can work with different degrees of success. And, if done properly, it can be fun to try.

THANK YOU very much for your work!

Already answered in other comments. I just wanted to add a couple of related communities:

• !rss@lemmy.ml
• !rssfeeds@lemmy.world

I must admit that I've only used the multiple-param part in very few cases, but the main "bookmarklet keyword with param" is very useful, some examples I have:

• Custom searches: lemmy communities, lemmy content
• Get the link to a page with markdown format: [title or custom text](https://url...)
• Post image or URL to a subreddit (I need to migrate this one for lemmy)

It's a community to share the best posts and comments found in Lemmy. I posted your comment as:

• @Phyzaks@lemmy.world explains why LK99 would be a big deal if it's a room temperature superconductor

I prefer Tranquility Reader add-on (no need for a 3rd party service). Very similar to Firefox' native Reader Mode, but more configurable and compatible with other addons (like translation).

I see you posted this article to 6 communities. According to the comments on this post if you use the cross post function (in the default web frontend), it will only show once in the feeds instead of 6 times (which can be a bit annoying).

If you use an app or a different frontend, I don't know if it'll work.

Thanks

I also think that's correct... if we are talking about real numbers.

People are probably thinking about integers. I'm not sure about OP.

EDIT: I think it also works with p-adic numbers.

!fairphone@lemmy.ml

there are just bout four preset layouts of the cards.

It's 8 different layouts, but yes, they are only a few of them. The funny thing is that they are not hardcoded, but the result of a buggy implementation of an algorithm that could have generated millions of different layouts. The specific assembly code is explained line by line on the video.

Appreciate the appreciation ^_^
