Yep, here's my Starship prompt, for example:

So, I have it configured to show:

• the exit code of the last command (if it's non-zero),
• the duration of the last command (if it's longer than 2 seconds),
• the time (when the last command ended),
• the current directory,
• the current Git branch, and it also shows some Git status information, for example the $ means I have something stashed,
• and finally the technology in use in a repository/directory, so in this case that repo uses Rust and the compiler version is 1.83.

I could never get over how boring the gameplay of Infamous looked. Comparing it to a third-person shooter is pretty apt. Like, you've got these crazy lightning powers, but 90% of the time, you just use your hand buzzer to give folks a bit of a zap. Riveting.

Well, I'm talking about my team members at my dayjob. I'm a software engineer.

But it's also a lot less explicit than what you're probably imagining. It's rather that we have a meeting and realize that a problem re-occurred which we thought we solved months ago. So, then everyone starts collectively scratching their head and somewhat rhetoric questions might be thrown into the room, i.e. "Oh man, do you still remember how we did that?".

Then I might start typing the command how I think it would probably begin, often with the intention of then putting --help at the end to try to jump-start my memory. And then that's where Fish often jumps in and tells me that I'm apparently typing the exact beginning letters of the command that we used a few months ago.
Sometimes this even happens when I have no recollection that I ran a given command before, and someone's just generally asking how to do a certain task...

I just set Fish as the shell that my terminal emulator should launch. The actual default/system shell can stay Bash. And then, yeah, if you put Bash into the shebang, all the scripts will run with it, and you can just execute bash in your Fish shell at any point to drop into a Bash shell.

Occasionally, I'll realize some syntax discrepancy where I've kind of learned it the Fish way, but because I'm only using Fish interactively, there's really not a ton of syntax that I'm interacting with.

And yeah, ultimately I find it well worth it. In particular the history-based auto-suggestions are really useful. People will ask me what that command was again and I'll start typing into my shell and it just pulls out exactly what I wanted in quite a lot of cases.

Honestly, it's ridiculous to me, how much bullshit you can get peddled, if you're ready to eat it. Like, absolutely fuck the guy for being proud of firing his workforce, but I cannot blame him for believing the bullshit. At this point, you can readily find scientific studies claiming that AI surpasses humans, and if you look into them, they're just using a bad test setup. Because well, guess what gets you into the news. It's certainly not "AI is only reliably applicable for certain niche use-cases and needs guidance from someone with real intelligence".

Do you mean best FOSS terminal for Android? To my knowledge, there's only really Termux.

You can backup you home-directory and add it back into the newly installed OS. Some of the more dedicated distro-hoppers will even have the home-directory on a separate partition, which they don't overwrite during installation and rather just mount into the new OS.

The home-directory contains all your music, pictures, add-ons and portable software. It also contains your configurations under ~/.config/ and local files of applications under ~/.local/.
After you've reinstalled, you won't have all the same applications installed, but once you reinstall them, they should pick up the configuration from those folders and work as you expect. Sometimes, your new distribution/installation might use different versions of that particular software, so it's not guaranteed that everything works perfectly, but it does work pretty well.

To me, it's a matter of:

1. Doesn't do anything extra. openSUSE runs automated tests and reports bugs to the KDE devs before a release. They also maintain a Firefox patch to integrate it into the KDE MIME type system. Semi-decent distros will at least still package that patch and setup xdg-desktop-portal-kde by default. To my knowledge, Debian/Kubuntu/etc. do none of that.
2. Old dependencies, which sometimes cause bugs in KDE that you don't see elsewhere. But also just old versions of KDE Plasma, even though Plasma gets better and more stable with each new release. We've got Kubuntu LTS at $DAYJOB, and you would not believe the number of times people mention something not quite working as they expected or wanted, and I get to respond that this would be fixed already, if we weren't using such an ancient version...

openSUSE does the nicest KDE. It also comes with BTRFS snapshotting out of the box, so you could've just rolled back that broken update. Downside is that not as many apps are packaged for it.

Cinnamon didn't necessarily want to go back (otherwise they would have built MATE), but it was created out of dissatisfaction with GNOME 3 dropping the traditional desktop metaphor.

I can't believe, they chose Thank Goodness You're Here for the lead image, but wrote "thank God for that" into the title.

Yeah, that frustrates me a lot, too. They almost had it right, that they need to go beyond realism to make truly good-looking games. But in practice, they say that only to show you the most boring-ass graphics known to humanity. I don't need your pebbles to cast shadows. I can walk outside and find a pebble that casts shadows in a minute tops. Make the pebbles cast light instead, that could look cool. Or make them cast a basketball game. That's at least something, I haven't seen yet.
