Firefox always has tabs, in fact even the Mozilla Application Suite had them since 2001. Gmail came out 3 years later. Though I would have thought that there were about 5 years between these events


It’s a choice I can live without, I see the appeal of !! but usually, history is informative only, if I want something reusable, I write a function.


Ah, okay.
It shows that I’m not using POSIX shells


Yeah, I wasn’t sure there, the question mark was supposed to apply to all shells…


These additions are about user familiarity, not inter-shell compatibility is my point. Fish and bash are fundamentally incompatible. Just because they share keywords doesn’t mean they’re compatible. You wouldn’t say Rust got Python compatible just because it introduced a keyword or a concept from it.


Yeah, fish is a very comfortable shell in all regards. The standard installation does basically about 90% of what you typically want, probably more. Just very sensible in all aspects


No, but I feel bad when I need to deploy a big package for a bit of scripting.
For example, nushell is about 160 MB installed… which I find a bit much. It’s fine on my desktop, but I also have machines where this would be a significant addition.


I’m not the biggest fan of bash either, there’s a reason I use fish, though I also like elvish for interactive use (though it’s rather young all things considered) and in maybe going to use YSH for my next script project as that shell is very small (2MB or so) and yet makes sense.


Fish is really a pleasant shell, nothing groundbreaking but it’s just nice.
That said, I wouldn’t speak of “bash compatibility” just because another symbol/ operator from bash can now be used in fish (this happens sometimes), but this isn’t for compatibility but rather so that you don’t need to learn the fish equivalent. Fish has a different syntax from bash (e.g. command substitution doesn’t use , no do in for loops…) so they’ll never be compatible. There are bash compatible shells out there (I guess zsh, dash and probably oil?), but fish isn’t and doesn’t try to be.


Debian systems have optionally collected this kind of data way before systemd existed via adduser.
There’s always TempleOS.
NixOS is very tightly coupled to systemd, though there are efforts to change that


NixOS went from not being visible to… beating Manjaro!
Whatever that’s supposed to tell


It’s not their fault the average consumer doesn’t have a sizeable media library

People love to shit on GitHub for their recent outages, turns out it’s nontrivial to host a lot of software…
Yeah, you shouldn’t use GitHub anyways (I have a paid account on sr.ht that I use for my stuff and I think it predates codeberg) but codeberg has some teething issues as well.
Anyhow, yes, if you depend on codeberg, you should consider donating
