This reminds me of my dad, who shared Redd Fox with me because we both liked George Carlin.

That guy doesn’t look like the dinosaur guy. Not yet, anyway.

You must be a lawyer.

What manner of animal is this? Its mohawk is fantastic.

Fair though, thank you for the information.

I thought shin splints were pretty universal. TIL.

Is that … Not the case?

A bold take, let’s see how it goes!

Did the front fall off?

80s movies are already confusing and, believe it or not, I wasn’t born 50 years from now.

… I think.

I don’t know that I agree with the take represented in your linked article. If I’m reading it correctly, the primary reason not to switch shells is that those shells might not exist universally. That is a valid concern, but running which fish (as referenced in my original comment) should help to mitigate that risk factor. Scripts should always use a hashbang to specify their desired environment so, unless you’re overriding that, it shouldn’t be a concern.

I agree that you shouldn’t use shells that are not available to you. I don’t think that means you shouldn’t try to change shells if you are unsatisfied with your current one.

Interesting, I hadn’t heard that take. I’ll give it a read. Thanks!

You can change your default shell in a few ways. I’ve never used fish, but vipw should open your passwd file, in which you can change /bin/bash to the appropriate path for fish (which you can find via which fish). It’s probably best to only change this for your user.

A possibly simpler option (and one that I don’t believe requires root access) is the chsh command. I’ve never used it myself, so I’ll let this site provide instructions for it: https://www.howtogeek.com/669835/how-to-change-your-default-shell-on-linux-with-chsh/

That sounds fun.

For the first sentence or two, I thought you were talking about the unrelated book.

Thank you for the new media!

I was refraining from posting this, so I’m very glad someone else did. Back when we were masked up, I always appreciated the Maryland flag masks the most and made sure to compliment their wearers.

It has existed on every Pixel I’ve ever owned under the label “Hotspot.” This includes the one I’m using to write this comment.

I have not yet - I did join the relevant discord, but it hasn’t been much help at this point. Thank you for the recommendation.

I agree with you … But the contention mentioned above is mostly just a joke between us now. The good news is that I plan to be with her the rest of my life and die before she does, so how long we’ve been together is less of a concern to me than how long we will be!

That’s similar to what I was considering saying - my wife and I disagree whether we met when I was 22 or 23 and all the services we used to talk back then (IRC server, Skype, AIM) are gone, so there are no easily accessible records.

That said, I’m about to turn 38, so also fifteenish years is how long I’ve known her. We got married about seven years after that.
