Oh I didn’t know powershell did that too! It sure beats endless parsing errors

I don’t really mind having a non-POSIX shell since it doesn’t prevent bash scripts from working, but I get that if you want portability bash is still best since it’ll work mostly anywhere.

I feel my sanity slowly slipping away while reading…

Yeah if you need to work on machines with bash it makes sense to stick with it. Sorry you have to work on Windows… how is powershell compared to bash?

I don’t know python but xonsh seems really cool, especially since like nushell it works on both linux and windows so you don’t have to bother about OS specific syntax

That’s interesting I hadn’t thought about the JSON angle! Do you mean that you can actually use jq on regular command outputs like ls -l?

Oil is an interesting project and the backward compatibility with bash is very neat! I don’t see myself using it though, since it’s syntax is very close to bash on purpose I’d probably get oil syntax and bash syntax all mixed up in my head and forget which is which… So I went with nushell because it doesn’t look anything like bash. If you know python what do you think about xonsh? I

I’ve also been using zsh until now, it’s clear it’s a massive improvement over bash. No more accidentally pasting code into the terminal!

I wasn’t even looking for a new interactive shell, zsh is fine, I was looking for a new language for shell scripts because I’m tired of bash’s legacy quirks… but the interactive nushell was too cool to resist!

Nice of them to protect their (users’) content from AI scrapping. So that they can charge AI companies for it instead.

Nah I don’t miss having to deal with region zones, they are such a pain… sure you can rip the disk, but you’re still left with a disk you bought yet can’t use because your players are deliberately sabotaged to not work.

I don’t miss using physical media either, they take up so much space… I’d need a mansion if I wanted to replace the content of my media server with physical media.

That why linux is great, it open-sources its drama so everyone can enjoy it

At the same time, it was also not mammals that ruled the ground, it was, as many an eight year-old can attest, dinosaurs.

Arthropods who’ve been ruling the world for 500 million years: Why do dinosaurs get all the hype? 😭 😭 😭

I guess that depends on your definition of what a bird is and on where you place the transition between bird-like dinosaurs and birds. Like Archaeopteryx is one of the species in that weird kinda dinosaur kinda bird phase.

Edit: Genus not species, sorry. I hate taxonomy so much…

This just hurts my brain 😭

Now I want that movie

I don’t either, but if no one ever tries github projects with zero stars how are they supposed to get stars?

Chopped lettuce

Really? LETTUCE? As if we needed more proof that birds aren’t real

I gave up on noscript years ago when more and more websites would break unless I allowed dozens of different domains for each, it became too much of a pain to manage. What’s the point if you’re forced to allow it for the page to load anyway? But it has been years, so maybe noscript has evolved to compensate for that?

From my experience most people just don’t know that it CAN be changed. They assume that there’s nothing to do about it, or that if there is you need to be a tech wizard to understand how. They know that they don’t understand how their computer/browser/phone/whatever works so they assume that even if there was a way it would be too complicated for them to even try. They don’t care to understand how it works, and that’s fine. I also don’t care how my microwave works as long as it does work when I need it to. There’s not enough time or mental energy to learn everything. But when you show them that all it takes is going to a website, typing “ublock” in the search bar and clicking a big button, then it goes from “probably rocket science” to “hey I could actually do this!”.

of course not, the average person is lazy and uses tldr

Whichever will be more efficient at not doing the specific thing I’m trying to do

surely you jest, birds aren’t real
