Basically every non-Windows system comes with a POSIX-compliant shell at /bin/sh. If you’re using shebangs in your POSIX shell scripts like you should, using Fish as your Friendly Interactive Shell shouldn’t be a problem.

It’s both real and an ad, which is why it’s effective.

Here’s a more technical breakdown from jfrog.

I agree, but this seems like a matter of poor communication. It doesn’t sound like the Talon dev knows that actual members of the KDE team are earnestly interested in making Talon work with their Wayland compositor. It sounds like they assumed it’s just another user asking for Wayland support without any way of helping to make it happen.

The Talon and KDE devs should open a direct line of communication to actually get this going.

TIL about kmscon. Getting actually readable font sizes in a tty is so nice.

…via virtualization, so not as exciting as the title insinuates.

Edit: apparently they got it working on bare metal too.

The zoom upscaling is wonderful 😻 I use it all the time and the additional clarity from the upscaling is very much appreciated!

I can’t tell if you moving the goal posts is a result of you missing the point or not, but I don’t care for your condescending attitude, so I’m not going to bother.

I’m sure companies will do the right thing when given additional tools to avoid doing so 🙂

I don’t disagree, but I’m also not focused on the GNU aspect of this. In many cases, non-GNU stuff, like MUSL is actually better (in my opinion). My issue is with non-copyleft licenses. I’ve written alternatives to various GNU utilities because I find some of their behavior to be undesirable, but I license them under the GPL because I think that the alternatives are a net negative on society.

And I think that Canonical, like any other profit-driven entity, will do anything to increase their profit, and when they think they can get away with something shitty and they believe it will make more money, they’ll do that. Pushover licenses give them the option to restrict things more than if they relied on copyleft tools.

This would be really exciting if Canonical weren’t using this in part because it helps them de-GPL their Linux distro.

Inb4 people say that it’s impossible to do anything shitty and if they did, people would just fork 😴 That isn’t how it works. Defaults matter and most people aren’t going to go out of their way to learn about this or replace their distro when they start locking it down.

Anyone know if the APFS driver is packaged for Arch and Fedora? This would be invaluable on Asahi installs.
