you mean THE DAMNED MOUNTAINS are the hands of the clock and not the hand-shaped thingies ? 😭 😂 😭

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!

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

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

notice how literally no american ever talks about the U.S. civil war with “the North invaded the South”

“War of Northern Aggression” anyone?

What’s France doing in red? That’s like the ONE invasion for which people had no complaints 😂 More nazi punching and less overthrow of democratic governments, please.

Finally managed to enable VSCode extensions without doing it imperatively or using home manager I’m so happy I could cry 😭 😭 😭

It actually wasn’t even that bad, I’m just terrible at understanding documentation I guess

Wow I had no idea you could do that, I’ll try it thanks ! °o°

I think I might have been misusing the term “outdated”, the packages are a few versions behind but they do work. I haven’t run into packages that didn’t work except because of path issues (fixed by using steam-run).

Wait how does Nix Unstable have a better score than the AUR? With four times less maintainers? That’s really impressive, especially considering how much more simple Arch packages are to make.

Yes it’s a headache if you don’t have a clue what you’re doing and suck at coding like me, but the good parts might make the headache worth it depending on what you want of your distro. A week ago I couldn’t wait to get a new laptop to reinstall Arch, but now I’m actually wondering if I should keep trying Nix… OH GOD HAVE I CAUGHT THE NIX BRAIN CANCER? 😭

Oh cool that’s good to know!

There’s one evil genius responsible for both JSON and JavaScript? °o°

Succinctly : “OH GOD MY EEEEEYES”

I’m not a fan of nested parenthesis… but aside from that I don’t know much about the language, is it more convenient? Does it also suffer from the error messages from hell problem?
