That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Meh, I already have a global mute shortcut. I have a keyboard shortcut for this script I found somewhere that toggles mic audio capture in ALSA.

#!/bin/bash

mic_on=$(amixer get Capture | grep '\[on\]')

if [ "$mic_on" = "" ] ; then

amixer set Capture toggle && paplay /usr/share/sounds/ocean/stereo/device-added.oga

else

amixer set Capture toggle && paplay /usr/share/sounds/ocean/stereo/device-removed.oga

fi

This will mute all applications. While a workaround for your setup, on other use cases it wouldn't work if the user wants to mute a specific application only.
