Bash

Not because it’s the best or even my favourite. Just because I create so many ephemeral VMs and containers that code switching isn’t worth it for me.

Probably the black sea, dad.

Yeah that’s solidly it. I use strictly confined CLI snaps all the time. (In fact, I maintain the snaps for a couple of CLI apps.) They work fine as long as the snap has the right plugs.

But I don’t want to have to run flatpak run dev.htop.htop to get to htop.

I’ve got a desktop that got a dirty install of KDE Neon when the repositories first got put up (before there were isos). Been in-place upgrading it ever since.

One the one hand you are correct.

On the other hand… Behold! An A in pi! https://www.spoj.com/problems/PIHEX2/

Yep! Most of us are even homo sapiens!

Kubuntu works well on mine. A friend has Lubuntu on his.

If you are, like I once was, the poor fool who has to maintain a bunch of VBA macros… Extract them into files and source control those. Make a script to extract them and to put them back, and use git-lfs for the actual workbook if you need a template workbook.

Now pardon me, I need to add this to the agenda for my next therapy.

Some distro that uses the Ubuntu repos blocked users from even installing snapd manually without jumping through a bunch of manual hoops. It’s one thing to not preinstall it, but that reeked to me of exactly the “we know better than our users” attitude they were accusing Canonical of.

How about the maintainers blocking a package that’s included in the default repository for ideological reasons?

The problem isn’t that every gnome dev is bad - not by a long shot. The problem is that there are just enough gnome devs in just the right (wrong?) positions who have an “our way or the highway” philosophy that it causes problems not just for people trying to use GNOME, but for people (such as the Kate developers) who are trying to give their users a good experience.

And by being the default in so many distros, GNOME has enough clout that if they choose to abandon a standard, many people will change to whatever GNOME does, making their applications worse for people on other desktops.

In the end it’s not too dissimilar to the problems created by the dominance of Chromium and Windows. The biggest difference IMO is that Google are actually more conciliatory towards others than the GNOME team are in many cases. Which is kinda crazy given how much Google can throw their weight around on the web.

This raises further questions, since it seems his humanoid form is a facade provided by his magic powers. Do you get him in non-corporeal form, or do you get him like that episode where he became human?

As long as you have polkit setup to work in terminal sessions, yes. This is pretty standard these days, though not particularly widely used.

Kinda feels like writing a script that implements the sudo CLI but calls pkexec would be an easier way to do it. Given that so many systems already come with both sudo and pkexec, do we really need yet another option?

I’m not on the systemd hate train by any means, but I don’t understand how this is any improvement over pkexec

…is pkexec not good enough already as a polkit based sudo replacement? Why would one need to systemd-ify that?

Ugh Linux… I tried so hard to get viruses working in wine but in the end I gave up. Full compatibility my ass…

All words are made up
