not relying on github is a good lesson to learn from the attack on #youtube-dl.

another lesson is: please avoid supporting the RIAA. you can avoid buying copyrighted music, i do so for ~15 years. donate to artists if you wanna support them.

i guess canceling things like spotify is a good idea as well. maybe they even ask you why. :)

Dear Free Software and Privacy-loving individual,

If you care the slightest bit about freedom of speech, please take 10 seconds of your time to run the following command into your terminal:

git clone https://codeberg.org/polarisfm/youtube-dl

That's it. You're saving a very important piece of internet history that may be necessary later.

Thank you for your attention. Your effort makes the internet a better place.

Stumbled on my first Jexer roadblock: Showing a menu item description in the status bar.

It turns out that this functionality is NOT built-in, and I can't override classes like TMenu or TMenuItem (WTF?), they have final methods and private constructors. Who the hell came up with this idea???

So, in order to be able to display a menu item's description text in the statusbar, I had to add an onIdle() event handler to the application's desktop object.

This handler finds the active menu in the menubar and gets the active menu item's id, then updates the status bar text with a string that I store manually using the menu item id as key.

It's a horribly complicated workaround, but it works! 😀

Best of all, since it's called in an onIdle() event, it only gets called after the last event is processed, which means it's efficient and doesn't consume any unnecessary cycles!
