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

Is that Xfce?

Slowly reaches for shotgun…

Well, I do wear a lot of hoodies…. But that’s more because I live in the PNW than the fact that I’m a programmer.

I also have the sleeves pushed up to my elbows most of the time. Only wear sunglasses when I’m driving and the sun is in my face.

Yes, it’s on my wishlist!

Try Cloudpunk! I really enjoyed that game.

Very true!

Season 1 of DS9 was rough? Cries in TNG… 🤣

It is rough compared to the later stuff but, man, it got off to a WAY better start than TNG did… I mean, Riker had to grow a beard for the show to get good!

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 really enjoyed Avowed. Played all the way through it. Sure, it’s not as open as a Bethesda game - it takes place in large zones. But it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the story.

Yes, a lot of programming language package managers do have similar problems as npm.

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

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

Yes. It’s “AI can never fail. It can only be failed.”

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?
