Answer A: Change position of subtitles in yt-dlp
If one uses the `--exec` argument, one can access the name of the `.mp4` file via `%(filepath)s` and `%(requestedsubtitles.en.filepath)s` will give the filename of the subtitles: ``` yt-dlp -f 160 --write-subs --write-auto-subs --sub-langs en --embed-subs "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC91ZW...

Question Change position of subtitles in yt-dlp
I would like to change the vertical position of subtitles in videos downloaded with yt-dlp. If I use ``` yt-dlp -f 160 --write-subs --write-auto-subs --sub-langs en --embed-subs "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC91ZWUvfEo" ``` the subtitles will be placed at the very bottom of the video:...

Comment Post #292769 Yes, by default it will only show fonts which have all the specified glyphs. One can use `albatross --or a b` to search for each glyph individually.

Answer A: Fonts That Support the Creative Commons Unicode Symbols
You can use the command line tool `albatross` (https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/albatross/) to find out which of the fonts you already have on your system, contain a given symbol. For example, on my system: ``` albatross ๐Ÿ…ญ ๐Ÿ„ ๐Ÿ…ฏ ๐Ÿ„Ž ๐Ÿ„ .---.-.| | |--.---.-.| |.----.-----.---...

Answer A: Set a default zoom level for all websites
Firefox allows to set the default zoom level in its preferences. Go to ``` Preferences->General->Zoom->Default zoom ``` to set it according to taste

Comment Post #292284 Thanks for the explanation! As the question is essential about downgrading, it sounded as selling it might raise enough founds to buy a downgrade, but if it was on sale, the second hand price might also be lower.

Comment Post #292284 @#64277 Do you make use of any other special features of the smart screen? Otherwise selling it second hand and buying another monitor with the proceeds of the sale might be a viable solution.

Comment Post #292147 Please include which OS you are using and which shortcuts you'd like to change. On mac, one can use the karabiner elements app to remap some of the firefox shortcuts. For other OS, there are addons like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/shortkeys which allow to remap some shortcuts.

Comment Post #291832 > IMO that MS article should just be posted in an answer, instead of getting carried away with links, images and versions. I won't post it, since I wasn't the one who found it.

Comment Post #291832 "beyond what's already evident from the image." The problem is that taking information from the image, does not tell us anything about the system of the OP, it just tells us that a random user on the internet uses a certain version of windows (or used this version 6 years when they posted the image)....

Comment Post #291832 I'm not sure it is so obviously Win8 or Win10. In previous questions by the same person, we had screenshots from all kinds of versions back to XP. They got answers specific to the version shown in screenshots, only to then reveal that they don't use this version of windows. This was very frustrating ...

Comment Post #291527 I can't reproduce the problem, but some things you can try: instead of using the script editor to create the application, maybe try with `Automator.app`. This has an action "Run AppleScript" into which you can copy the content of your script. Or you could use https://github.com/sveinbjornt/Platypus t...
