And now let there be ant lions

it’s been 2 hours…

This completely. You cant end capitalism with that kind of money, but you can provide cheap or free alternatives to basic needs to force the price-gouging vendors to actually compete for once and align their businesses better with the consumer.

Hello there sweetie! I’m politely throwing sand in your face, whilst not offering any helpful or insightful data other than a single counter anecdotal observation. Hope that’s okay, and not passive-aggressive at all!

well the coins weren’t, but the people were cheating each other with paid goods of subpat quality

Ancient Mesopotamian: “am I a joke to you?”

My ex’s grandma slept 5 hours a night, worked a full time seamstress job and cooked and cleaned and raised her kids and grandkids. She enjoyed just 1 year of retirement before Covid hit.

is your dog Clifford?

That’s it Alfred, you need to take a sabbatical to abate your combative perturbations

Yeah, I mean it’s not like they’re calling native Android functions there (in proceedWithOpenCamera), it looks like the CameraDevice object might offer a lot more capture modes that just aren’t being tapped into. Is it just a programming issue, or does Android only offer Photo contexts but not Video ones, or…?

Is it just a permissions issue? On a rooted phone, could I not simply add termux user to the camera group

Yeah I have a bash script that does similar, using the notification API for interactivity

FOLD_CAMERA=CameraShots
TEMP_PID=~/.record_pid
APP_ID=record

mkdir -p $FOLD_CAMERA

function main {
    termux-notification \
        --id $APP_ID --group RECORD \
	    --priority max \
	    --button1 "Front" \
	    --button1-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID;bash $0 record 1" \
	    --button2 "Back"  \
	    --button2-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID;bash $0 record 0" \
	    --button3 "Quit" \
	    --button3-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID;exit" \
	    --title "Record"
	
}

function record {
    local cam=${1:-0}

    termux-notification \
        --id $APP_ID --group RECORD \
	    --priority max \
	    --button1 "Stop" \
	    --button1-action "termux-notification-remove $APP_ID; bash $0 killproc" \
	    --title "Rec. $cam"
    
    (while :; do
	     termux-camera-photo \
	         -c $cam \
	         $FOLD_CAMERA/$(date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M_${cam}_record.jpg")
     done) &

    local pid=$!
    echo -n $pid > $TEMP_PID
} 

function killproc {
    local last_pid=$(cat $TEMP_PID)
    if [ "$last_pid" == "" ]; then
	    termux-toast "Could not kill process. Restart the phone."
    else
	    kill $last_pid &&
	        bash $0 main
    fi
}


[ "$*" = "" ] && main || eval "$*"

It just needs ffmpeg tied to the exit function

your buffer size must exceed several floppies!

oh, it literally pipes into another tool! I thought that vertical bar was a config option for less lmao

is that an alias or a sys env?

Well they’re not built to any decent spec, and risk of earthquake is always high. Plus the president/lord has his fingers in every construction company in the country, so he makes money whenever one is built and when it falls down.

If you feel alone in your head, ask yourself whether the issue is that you don’t feel heard by your partner, or if you don’t share enough with your partner

I ain’t got no time for no config! I’m a busy man!

Yes, back in days of yore when the cyberbunnies had to run their lines through the bare wastes of the great Dave’s router, there existed a tool so coveted by the eunuchs that they named it twice, and would beg for degrees of release depending on how gimped up they were. “More” some would scream, “less” others would whisper.

I use less always, and am genuinely puzzled by people who use more
