You can set the buffering mode of any file stream with setvbuf. For example, setvbuf(stderr, NULL, _IOLBF, BUFSIZ) sets stderr to line buffered I/O.

People have been killing each other for their entire history, I don't think that has changed. It's just that you hear about and see it more often now.

Oh, well I think what he meant is that some malicious program could read and transmit this unencrypted recorded data which is normally stored in an encrypted form

> The demo is showing recording a web-browser He said it's not recording but taking a screenshot every 2 seconds and I assume it's not just for a browser but all text on the desktop.

> I also don't understand the chatGPT component You give it context from the "recording" and it answers questions you give it with that context info.

It's usable if you can live with some small annoying inconveniences last I tried. I can't remember if there were more inconveniences but what bugged me the most was that the touchpad was too sensitive compared to MacOS, it seemed to register accidental touches on the edges more and accidental taps were easier. I tried figuring out if this is fixable with libinput or hwdb but eventually gave up. Also the shortcuts with Command key are way more convenient than the ctrl ones but this probably is configurable somehow. Some Java programs had scaling issues but that can be configured to work properly. Battery life was a bit worse I think, this is with the GPU drivers and no video playback, just regular browsing. Oh and external monitor support isn't there, I do use this sometimes on MacOS.

Isn't that implying OP is a script kiddie? I don't think writing a debugger is a script kiddie project.

I saw Unexpected Keyboard recommended here, turns out it can do this as well among other things. Just tap Shift and drag left/right on spacebar. The main feature though is that you can enter the characters that aren't used commonly by swiping insted of holding on a key or switching to a different key view. You can also get Ctrl and Alt and you can like lock them as well which is useful in Termux.

I don't understand going cold turkey. You said it had a difference for you. What was it? I've tapered off before, it probably took like a week at most and I experienced no headaches.

From what I understand it was discovered in 1999, hence LK99. Doesn't seem very quick to me in that case.

Don't you think it does a bit too much as an init system?
