This is such a nice fix but then you install it's set it up to launch on start and forget about it. 5 years later the bug has been fixed for 4 and I still have tho script record a random pixel every 10 seconds. Never know how to know that the hacky fix is no longer needed

You could just put it in your calendar. 'Check if that hacky bugfix at ~/.dirtyhack.sh is still required with chmod -x ~/.dirtyhack.sh'
Or do a counter with read n<.hackycounter;echo $[n+1]>.hackycounter

When the counter hits e.g. 200, spam the user with notifications.
