I find your definition of discrimination amusing. Using the script only restricts and discriminate the user of the the script.

Since I have such a turbo riced environment, the userscript dirthack took me ~5 minutes (4 of which where following links when i searched for "userscript hide annoying user on forum").

And limiting ones social media, is probably the most effective workflow improvement of all.

You did the right thing! "My" code (the script I was inspired by, only had three .parent() ), wasn't the prettiest.

on topic:

using mpv for audio. I never watch a video and listen to mp3/flac (music/pod) at the same time, so using the same program for both is great. And mpv has some nice playback manipulation features (change speed with adjusted pitch) built in, and is very "rice friendly" . I have this bash script, that i use to open all media with:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

: "${MPV_FIFO_FILE:=/tmp/mp_pipe}"

targetVideo="$1"

if [[ -n $(xdotool search --class mpv) ]]; then

  echo "loadfile \"${targetVideo}\" append-play" > "$MPV_FIFO_FILE"

else

  rm -f "$MPV_FIFO_FILE"

  mkfifo "$MPV_FIFO_FILE"

  mpv "$targetVideo" --input-file="$MPV_FIFO_FILE" > /dev/null 2>&1 &

fi

If no mpv instance is running, it will start a new one, with the important "--input-file" option, otherwise it will add $1 to the playlist of the currently running mpv instance. This input-file fifo can be used to send any action to mpv, and i use it to control the media with global (i3) keybindings via this:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

: "${MPV_FIFO_FILE:=/tmp/mp_pipe}"

action="${1:-toggle}"

arg="${2:-}"

case "$action" in

  ( speed )

    : "${arg:-+}"

    [[ $arg = + ]] \

      && arg="multiply speed 1.1" \

      || arg="multiply speed 1/1.1"

      echo "$arg" > "$MPV_FIFO_FILE"

  ;;

  ( toggle )

    echo "keypress space" > "$MPV_FIFO_FILE" ;;

  ( next ) 

    echo "playlist-next" > "$MPV_FIFO_FILE"  ;;

  ( prev )

    echo "playlist-prev" > "$MPV_FIFO_FILE"  ;;

  ( seek )

    amount="${arg:-2}"

    [[ ! $amount =~ ^[+-][0-9]+$ ]] && amount='+2'

    echo "seek $amount" > "$MPV_FIFO_FILE"

  ;;
