Well, I’m glad that we now have a font that makes it look like I’m not wearing my glasses… when I’m wearing my glasses.

C#/.NET is easily the best thing Microsoft makes.

I realize the bar is pretty low.

Fate favors fools, young children, and ships named Enterprise…

All good!

Agreed 100%

I was just making a bit of a joke… 👍

Well, this is the internet after all…

Yep, same here. I went to MX after starting with Ubuntu. Now I’m a Debian guy.

I’m a simple man. I see Debian, I upvote.

Is that Xfce?

Maybe, but part of the theme of the TV show (I can’t speak intelligently about the comics) is that the system is corrupt. As a prosecutor, you would be part of that system.

As a criminal defense attorney you operate independently.

Uh…. Well….

I have worn full rim, plastic frames for years now.

This time, I purposely bought glasses with metal frames, semi-rimless.

I’m in the same boat but I work in a Windows shop. Thank goodness for WSL.

I don’t want to lead you wrong, but I believe Kate has been ported to both Mac and Windows.

Use Kate.

This may an overly cynical take, though that seems hard to do these days, but I’ve always believed they are intentionally vague… even to their customers.

So, it looks like Bluefin used to do some PATH gymnastics to keep things working pretty smoothly.

But now, they just make sure that brew is last in the PATH. This prioritizes the CLI commands baked into the image.

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it!

So far, I will say that I haven’t run into any issues but it’s interesting to learn about some of the pitfalls/limitations too.

It’s all about trade offs, I guess!

I have also been a Bluefin user for a while now…

Could you say more about the PATH issues with brew? Or point me to where I can learn more about them? I was kind of enjoying brew for installing development tools, and was thinking about adopting it on my non-atomic machines too. Should I not do that?

Yeah, that’s also my question. Partially because I am a former-lawyer-turned-software-developer… but, yeah. How are the kernel maintainers supposed to evaluate whether a particular PR contains non-GPL code?

Granted, this was potentially an issue before LLMs too, but nowhere near the scale it will be now.

(In the interests of full disclosure, my legal career had nothing to do with IP law or software licensing - I did public interest law).

I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you.

Ok… I’m not shocked at all.
