My NewPipe hasn’t broken for a significant time in quite a while, it’s good to go in my experience

Anuto Tower Defense

Pretty decent time killer if you like TD games

Retro games

This one because nostalgia

40 Puzzles

This came with some linux distro and I was able to find it on f-droid. Some of the games are better than others. Lots to choose from.

I haven’t seen these mentioned but they are kinda niche though. I use them for work more than personal usecase but maybe someone else finds them useful.

I think sox is what you want

I went ahead and asked a free AI how to use sox and played audio to trigger a script. Probably won’t be 100% accurate but maybe send you down the right path. Good luck.

1. Install ‘sox’ if you haven’t already. You can use the package manager of your Linux distribution to install it.

2. Open a terminal and use the ‘rec’ command from ‘sox’ to continuously listen to the audio input:

   sox -d -t .wav - silence 1 0.1 3% 1 1.0 3%
   

   This command will listen for audio and create a .wav file when it detects sound.

3. Write a script that will be triggered when a sound is detected. For example, you can create a script called “myscript.sh” with the following content:

   #!/bin/bash
   echo "Sound detected! Running my script."
   # Add your desired actions here
   

4. Make the script executable by running the following command in the terminal:

   chmod +x myscript.sh
   

5. Use the ‘rec’ command along with the ‘play’ command from ‘sox’ to continuously listen for sound and execute your script when sound is detected:

   sox -d -t .wav - silence 1 0.1 3% 1 1.0 3% | while read -r; do ./myscript.sh; done
   

   This command will continuously listen for sound and execute your script each time sound is detected.

Remember to customize the script “myscript.sh” with your desired actions.

I dunno if that’s actually an Alan Parsons quote but up vote for any mention of his name. Does sound like something he’d say.

As much as I hate to say it, Instagram is pretty decent for artisan/niche stuff. There you can actually see them making. Assuming they don’t use tricky camera angles or other bs.

But it’s sad that the answer for one cancer is another cancer

It kinda defeats the purpose of open ear but try wearing earplugs.

That’s what I do when I use loud tools with my shockz

… making it inconvenient and expensive enough that most people won’t bother.

Sounds like life in general
