I’m guessing, you mean this then: https://github.com/edc/bass

But well, I was rather thinking of when it’s using Bash-scripting-syntax to combine multiple commands.
Like, maybe there’s a for-loop in there. You just can’t paste that directly into Fish and have it work. Granted, you should probably put that into a script file, even if you’re using Bash, but yeah, just temporarily launching bash is also an option.

I have that occasionally when I want to copy a complex bash command from somewhere. But yeah, I can then just run bash, run the command in there and then exit back out of there.

It still gives you basically no advantage compared to just making your terminal emulator launch fish by default. And well, it does give you the major disadvantage that scripts without shebang will fail.

To me, it genuinely makes a huge difference that I don’t have to manually press Ctrl+R for history search. Because 9 times out of 10, I accept a history suggestion from Fish where I did not think about whether it would be in my history.

This includes really mundane commands, like cd some/deeply/nested/path/. You would not believe, how often I want to cd into the same directory.
But I’ve also had it where I started typing a complicated docker run command and Fish suggests the exact command I want to write, because apparently I already ran that exact command months ago and simply forgot.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

Isn’t that still just an alias for Invoke-WebRequest though?

At least, I heard again of that being the case not too long ago. Might have also been outdated information, though…

Invoke-WebRequest has entered the chat

Yeah, you don’t need the urinal to be under the sink. You can just run a pipe to the urinal…

Yeah, have not heard about any of these problems before this post…

Back in 2010, the OpenOffice devs had to abandon that name for trademark reasons¹, so they renamed to LibreOffice and continued developing under that name.

OpenOffice theoretically also still exists, but it’s hardly getting updates. Unless you specifically like software from 2010 (including some security vulnerabilities, I believe), you want to use LibreOffice.

¹) The OpenOffice trademark was owned by Sun Microsystems, which got bought by Oracle. Oracle has a very bad reputation, so the devs did not care to wait around for Oracle to fuck everything up.

What country is it from?

Ah, I thought you mixed them up, because they both look Windows-y in their default configuration. 🙃

Mint doesn’t use KDE out of the box. They have an own DE called Cinnamon.

The crush probably had some incriminating evidence they needed to be disposed of for sure.

By “unit”, you probably mean a SystemD unit, right?

Hmm, interesting, thanks!

Yeah, I get called a tankie on the regular now, just because my user account is on .ml and I still don’t actually know what it’s supposed to mean. Apparently, I’m supposed to have political opinions on topics that I’m significantly more ignorant on than the people who call me that.

Yeah, but anyone willing to implement shaders for Luanti can just contribute it to the game itself. Then you wouldn’t need to do anything to get the support.

The Rust compiler is more sophisticated than most compilers, so it can be slower at the same kind of tasks. But it also just does a different task here.

One of the tradeoffs in Rust’s design is that libraries get compiled specifically for a concrete application. So, whereas in most programming languages, you just download pre-compiled libraries, in Rust, you actually download their source code and compile all of it on your machine.

This isn’t relevant, if you get a pre-built binary. And it’s not particularly relevant during development either, because you get incremental compilation. But yeah, if someone wants to compile a Rust codebase from scratch, then they have to sit through a long build.

Yeah, the good tooling also means it isn’t even terribly difficult for the dev to provide builds, but it isn’t quite as automated as publishing to crates.io, so many don’t bother with automating or manually uploading…
