In a similar vein, I would recommend watching Cory Doctorow's presentation at 39C3,a post american, enshittification-resistant internet.

I spent a while looking for a download and could only find a forum post linking directly to the BR CDN, but only the first chapter worked :(

I was surprised to find that I could not run it with uvx:

    % uvx sqlit
       Built unicodecsv==0.14.1
       Built sqlit==0.1.6
    Installed 2 packages in 1ms
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/Users/john/.cache/uv/archive-v0/AP7XgAQ1v0HpPxXUi-hs4/bin/sqlit", line 7, in <module>
        from sqlit.main import main
      File "/Users/john/.cache/uv/archive-v0/AP7XgAQ1v0HpPxXUi-hs4/lib/python3.12/site-packages/sqlit/main.py", line 125
        print sql
        ^^^^^^^^^
    SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

That's not the same package. You should try sqlit-tui

Nitpick about 9.3 Short Circuit Evaluation: both things evaluate differently if you have empty strings. The if-else clause treats empty strings as valid while the or operator will treat them equivalent with None.

I love this kind of puzzle! How long does it take you to make one?

I see ČĆŠŽ missing from the layout, only Đ is here from the letters used in a Croatian alphabet, Slovenian as well, although they don't use Ć.

You can get these with the composition keys. Shift+AltGr = ˇ and then hit the letter to compose them

Even when using NewPipe's F-Droid repository?

I use the version from the github page. They are updated much faster. So when I realized something broke there is usually already a fixed version up on github.

Coming from Windows, I have just 2 small wishes: ability to drag windows to the edges to quickly organize them side by side, and ability to disable the drag lock - you currently either have to click or wait for a second after dragging anything.

You could try out Rectangle [1]. Other alternatives would be magnet (paid) or veeer (free).

Can we ban medium posts on HN already? imagine if we login-walled every piece on HN. we should not encourage this behavior and we have the clout to send Medium a message.

Delete your cookies for medium. Then you should be able to read it. Or don't allow cookies for medium in the first place.
