Example Inno Setup script for Godot games
; IMPORTANT: Follow the instructions at
; https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/workflow/export/changing_application_icon_for_windows.html
; and make sure the "Options > Application > Product Version" field is set
; in Godot's Export dialog before exporting your EXE file. Otherwise,
; Inno Setup will mistake the Godot version for your game's version.
;
; You can check whether you were successful by examining the .EXE file's
; properties dialog on Windows, or by using the `peres -v` command from `pev`
; on Linux.

Wrapper for git-filter-repo to extract paths into a new clone, preserving history across renames
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""Wrapper for git-filter-repo to extract paths into a new clone, following the
rename history to preserve all revisions of whitelisted paths.
WARNING: There appears to be no way to ask git-filter-repo to exclude stuff
that later takes on a name a renamed file gave up, so this will be
insufficient if you move a/b.py to b/b.py and then create a new a/b.py
and only want to preserve the history of b/b.py without keeping the
unrelated a/b.py.

Utility for making Flatpak-installed apps available in the terminal through their normal command names
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Flatpak CLI Shortcut Generator
A simple no-argument tool that generates launchers with traditional non-flatpak
command names for your installed Flatpak applications in ~/.local/bin/flatpak.
Does full collision detection and warns you if you forgot to add its output
directory to your PATH. Also overrules the command-line specified in the
``.desktop`` file if the Flatpak maintainer didn't include support for
command-line arguments.

Nugar said:

Sociopathy and Psychopathy the wikipedia article.

Yes, I know it's wikipedia. I know wikipedia isn't exactly reliable. Still, it's easy and convienient. It also states that there's functionally very little difference between psychopathy and sociopathy. Given the medical definitions and such for each, okay, I'll go along with that.

Now. Lets look at some of this.

They make a superficially good first impression.
