Didn’t even know about that one.

Diet: carnivorous
[…]
Food: other animals

Yes that’s usually where meat comes from.

Ah yes, when nature went “what if tank?”:

I’m boring

We’ll have none of that here! Nothing wrong with liking an old classic, because I mean come on:

After a certain age people stop asking you what your favorite dinosaur is, and I think that’s sad.

My current one’s the Anchiornis, because it’s in the same clade as birds so it’s in their family tree, and it really looks like a prototype of a bird. It had 4 wings for example, but it already looked really birb-y:

Everybody reading the comments needs to let us know about your favorite dinosaur.

Well, “clear” and clear; if you read their comments they very much do make it sound like they’re Robbie. I mean, it’s not that I believe any of it 100% and I think it’s probably just a schtick, but an AMA with that particular person would probably be fun in itself anyhow regardless of who’s “driving” that account. Guess we’ll see if/when this thing via her agent does end up happening? 😀

Whoops 😀

But you might want to ping the AMA mod? I think there was only one

Oh hah, that’s amazing.

Hmm, one question that I can think of right off the bat is “If you weren’t an actress, what would you want to do?”.

Oh, and “What is your favorite dinosaur?” of course!

Looks like there’s !ama@lemmy.world but it doesn’t seem active at all

Oo, eventual consistency

And that the problem isn’t that they have “different political opinions”, but that their “political opinions” include things like stripping human rights from trans people

Nah it’s a plan specifically for the president since it also includes things that only he could do, but there’s a lot of it that is just legislation

Ah sorry lol, I happily assumed you’re just a bit unfamiliar with bash and not programming in general – you’re definitely doing a great job if that’s the case, shell scripting isn’t exactly easy in a lot of ways like you discovered with how spaces in file names can bork things sometimes. But yeah, 11min isn’t terrible at all and if you don’t have to run that script very often there’s not much point in spending time optimizing it.

Just for future reference in case you end up scripting again, what I was thinking of was instead of processing every filename in $folder_name/**/* one at a time, you could do it in parallel with some creative rewriting, meaning you’d possibly be able to take advantage of having a multicore CPU – but whether it’ll actually be faster depends on a lot of things so it’d basically just have to be tried and timed.

Something along these lines, totally untested, the script can be further optimized and might not even run as-is, but should give you the idea. Starting off with the script, I modified it to just take a single file name as an argument:

#!/bin/bash
# exif_date_filter.sh

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <filename>"
    exit 1
fi

# Concatenate all arguments into one string for the filename, so calling "./script.sh /path/with spaces.jpg" should work without quoting
filename="$*"

start_range=20170101
end_range=20201230

DateTimeOriginal=$(/usr/bin/vendor_perl/exiftool -m -d '%Y%m%d' -T -DateTimeOriginal "$filename")
CreateDate=$(/usr/bin/vendor_perl/exiftool -m -d '%Y%m%d' -T -CreateDate "$filename")

if [[ "$DateTimeOriginal" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]] || [[ "$CreateDate" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
    if  ([ "$DateTimeOriginal" -gt $start_range ] && [ "$DateTimeOriginal" -lt $end_range ]) || 
        ([ "$CreateDate" -gt $start_range ] && [ "$CreateDate" -lt $end_range ]); then
        /usr/bin/vendor_perl/exiftool -api QuickTimeUTC -d %Y/%B '-directory<$DateTimeOriginal/' '-directory<$CreateDate/' '-FileName=%f%-c.%e' "$filename"
        echo "Found a value"
        echo "Okay its $(tput setab 22)DateTimeOriginal$(tput sgr0)"
    else
        echo "FINISH YOUR SYNTAX !!"
    fi
fi

So it’s called as ./exif_date_filter.sh /some/image.jpg

Then, assuming you have GNU parallel installed (should be easy to find on just about every distro), you could do… uh, I think just eg. find /home/user/Pictures -type f | parallel ./exif_date_filter.sh to automagically run as many “copies” of that script at the same time as you have CPU cores

IF ITS POSTED HERE IT MUST BE TRUE

ESPECIALLY IF IT ISNT TRUE

This meme is the funniest Seinfeld episode.

Oh yes, although that’s not what I’d call a high bar.

Then again if you’re looking for classified materials WT forums might actually be trustworthy

it’s in a trustworthy internet forum

Well, it’s in an internet forum at any rate
