I’m an ubuntu user and it was like that for a brief period but then they removed it after an uproar. I think. I double check it once I’m at my laptop

Because Arch is at best comparable to sport fandom, at worst to religious cult. And fans/cultists do these kinds of things

rethinks ability to compete with netflix

Yeah, I canceled my subscription like 2 years ago, loosing my prize of 30% discount in the process (it was a thing since I had HBO GO). I don’t know if it’s a regional thing but there was just nothing new or interresting there. I remember just constant superheroes and Harry Potter. Went for Netflix and never looked back. So, good luck I guess, hopefully they change

Pfff I know all about the aptitude, who do you think I am? Someone who doesn’t know the aptitude? I use it all the time for a lot of … stuff the aptitude does

Here we go!!! I was expecting the enshitification of this thing for past couple of years

How can I contribute? Just making a pull request?

small tasks that you don’t expect to grow in complexity

On one conference I heard saying: “There is no such thing as temporary solution and there is no such thing as proof of concept”. It’s an overexaguration of course but it has some truth to it - there’s a high chance that your “small change” or PoC will be used for the next 20 years so write it as robust and resilient as possible and document it. In other words everything will be extended, everything will be maintained, everything will change hands.

So to your point - is bash production ready? Well, depends. Do you have it in git? Is it part of some automation pipeline? Is it properly documented? Do you by chance have some tests for it? Then yes, it’s production ready.

If you just “write this quick script and run it in cron” then no. Because in 10 years people will pull their hair screaming “what the hell is hapenning?!”

Edit: or worse, they’ll scream it during the next incident that’ll happen at 2 AM on Sunday

Ah. The system works.

I never thought I’d witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime

I dislike Arch btw

Yeah, well maybe you should put this into your graph as a choice. You might not like it but Ubuntu still has a major support for anything Linux related. Any manufacturer or software development - if they support Linux, there is a high chance that they mean basically Ubuntu, quite often they tested it just there. This is a HUGE advantage for any beginner.

Beginners don’t care about behind the curtain stuff, they just want things to work. And you might not like Canonical but Ubuntu does this

Can someone list those piracy subscription services so we can avoid them as responsible citizens?

Linux users really are like vegetarians/vegans - they want you to join them and when you do, then they judge you for not being vegetarian/vegan enough

I know this is a common joke but how many of us don’t have a problem like this?

Personally I usually have a horible memory but this is never an issue for me, I can stop at any moment and pick up relatively quickly later
