Linx Amender Rules Thread

Post your exported rule suggestion here.

Script and Title rules are not allowed. Unless you have some amazing style, CSS rules would most likely be rejected.

hi Timid see if you can import (paste) the rule above into LA in my case it does not appear in the UI, even after a browser restart, but if i try to import it a 2nd time i get an overwrite warning prompt

funny thing is, even if i import it multiple times, giving it a different ID each time, the database size never changes

[TimidScript]

Hi I generally edit the rules in online mode and just copied it from online version. If you look at the "id":"O1430836041895" it starts with an O which implies online rule. Here it is again as local rule (L).

funny thing is, even if i import it multiple times, giving it a different ID each time, the database size never changes

What you've done is created duplicate online rules :). Just press alt+f9 to force update online rules to get a clean version of all online rules (Your Enabled and Run First settings are kept).

The database pre-allocates space for future usage, and it expands in stages. If it allocates space with each write it will be slow. I do not know how GM operates, but generally speaking such database do not release space after removal of records and only do so once you run a compact command.

[atomGit]

ah, gotchya! sorry for the trouble :)

if your new UI behaves in a similar fashion when importing rules, i might suggest displaying a confirmation notice to make it clear something was done - 'imported local rule!' or 'duplicated remote rule' or whatever

thanks!!!

[TimidScript]

yw You can paste mixed content, which nullifies notification. In LA3, if you press ctrl when you copy, it forces converts the rule to online version. The ctrl is used on other buttons also like fitlers.

In LA4 you can force pasting in certain format by pressing ctrl (Online) or alt (local). Also in LA4 there's a paste replace confirmation dialog which allows you to compare the rules if the rule expressions and revision numbers are different. Then you can select to replace, create new version or neither.

Updated all online rules and removed broken content.

[TimidScript]

Forget to say also in TSLA4 both local and online rules are on the same page which makes things easier. You can filter out all online, disabled or hidden rules. The interface allows users to interact with online rules better.

i edited your revision of the YouTube embed rule so the "src" attrib always points to the SSL version of the video...

There's a few redundant operators but it works.

[atomGit]

i'm no expert with RegEx, that's for sure - if it needs cleaned up, please feel free - i just wanted the URLs to point to https

[TimidScript]

Its works 100%. The redundancy is in extra usage of "?".

FYI: Thanks, partially this conversation, going to make major changes to TSLA4 online rules which makes a lot of new code redundant.

thanks for that!
just got around to trying it now - also learning more stuff from your examples :)

Since Linx Amender relies on a Free Software browser add-on known as Greasemonkey, in the spirit of freedom: Can you change the license to a free/libre license, so that I can recommend Linx Amender as a solution to the users of the Internet Archive? That way, IA users will be able to solve the forum problem using your amazing script and the rule below.

Creative Commons BY-NC-SA conflicts with Freedom 3, the ability to redistribute a copy at a price or gratis. Also, GitHub contains a link that recommends against using Creative Commons for software, titled: My project isn't software. GitHub maintains a license page to allow users to choose the license that best suits their work; I suggest choosing one of these licenses in order to eliminate confusion. I mainly bring this up, because I've learned that The JavaScript Trap is a real threat to online computing, and that it is ethical to grant users the freedom to have control of the software that runs on their computers. Thanks in advance for your consideration and hard work!

Hello,

I see the issue. They are a company. For personal usage however, I see no problem for most users. I really do not like the idea of people charging others for free software and that's why I went fot he CC license. They are a lot of scrupleless people in our world and a lot of easy targets.

You are right. Would GPLv3 be acceptable? They can pretty much get away with anything, plus they are forced to carry on the GPLv3 license. Would that be acceptable to IA users?

[pegzmasta]

Yes, GPLv3 is an excellent choice! This type of license protects against technical measures being added into modified versions (like DRM), and will also ensure that proprietary versions are never made (my favourite part). After choosing one of these licenses, you would also have to delete All Rights Reserved from the Copyright Notice, or replace it with Some Rights Reserved (Creative Commons suggests this is OK). I understand what you mean about scrupleless people; syzygos brought this into perspective when he posted on IA that someone was selling free texts from archive.org. Let me know what you decide, and when you think the change can be made [on GitHub and on OpenUserJS]. Thanks!

[TimidScript]

GPLv3 it is, with a side note of notification if re-distributing. I will try and update all my scripts this weekend.

posted on IA that someone was selling free texts from archive.org

Ouch. So cheap that you wouldn't think twice about purchasing if you wanted it. For me the most infamous is Blender re-branding. The fraudsters must be making good money, because they've been at it for years.

I have no worries of my scripts being abused like that. Just the principle of the matter, that's all.
