Could use a hipster shell like fish, nushell or elvish. I know the latter two have the functional support you’re looking for.

love to read fellow* people in the unix world discovering what made powershell great 10+ years ago as though it’s a paradigm shift. and the top comment of the thread is still nitpicking the points in the post while missing the forest for the trees. I mean ifconfig as an example is lol but still.

like powershell’s got such bizarre warts and design choices and it’s more ergonomic than unstructured text pipelines despite that

i know it’s not that simple but still, lol

*linux has been my primary os for 9+ years, not throwing stones here

I still remember Zoë Keating commenting on torrents of her album on the pirate bay back in the day. Free marketing tbh.

There was this thing you all constantly choose to ignore, called the holocaust, that afaik not just a lot of antifascists see as a reason why Israel must exist

the vast majority of jewish people in eastern europe post-war didn’t migrate to either the autonomous oblast the USSR set up or Israel and chose instead to live in the eastern bloc or USSR proper, so they probably count as ‘a lot of antifascists’ that don’t see a reason for Israel’s existence

the ultra-nationalist settler movement

they’re all settlers

windows hasn’t overwritten my uefi settings on major update in 3ish years

I would not be surprised if more than 50% of that is on Linux.

Depending how you count “on Linux” the over/under is closer to 90%.

that’s ecofash shit but go off

I get it, we have instead of or any of the others for that reason.

That said the OP is entirely unambiguous.

I guess my method is a bit less robust.

ime they just break in different ways. pacman’s easier to hack around but nix is more portable

I use exa but I don’t remember why

The only one that has died since the end of Digg was Vine, and that was partially just because its owners didn’t really care about its fate anymore.

Vine was killed by facebook & its regulatory capture. Otherwise it would’ve killed facebook and we never would’ve gotten tik tok (for better or worse).

FB, the gram and now twitter are dying. Just because they still exist doesn’t mean they’re not on their way out. Anyone with accounts on the first two can tell you that the number of active users on their feeds has been the same people for 5-10 years and are dwindling (and the feed of the third is lmao since boosting paid user content). Their traffic numbers might look fine but that’s because they lie about those numbers and they make it impossible to delete accounts.

Most importantly, it’s been 15 years since any of these companies couldn’t get free financing. Often a focus on profitability results in misplaced user-hostility over short-sighted moves, which is what killed a lot of companies in 99 and again in 2007. We just haven’t had a financial climate that requires it since. Hilariously this climate would make it a perfect time to take twitter private to push it past the other two and tik tok but it got bought by the worst failson the world has ever seen.

Don’t mistake still existing for not being dead. Digg.com still employs dozens of people, that doesn’t mean its been a useful link aggregator for the last 12 years.

oh cool I didn’t realize they’ve got an AMD model now
