@nixCraft Ah, that is why rsync popped up in my package manager ( Mint ) to be updated the other day.

@Mastodon It seems rare that American programmers do public service things like this. Makes me kind of ashamed. I guess the European system is different? That programmers can find themselves with the free time for large projects without getting kicked out of their homes for not paying the rent.

@nixCraft There is only 1 distro. They only differ in the package manager, what they will set up for you out of the box, and how many text editors they will install.

@nixCraft Someone will just fork Firefox to lose the AI the way Chromium is Chrome without the spyware.

@nixCraft 1999 was a dangerous year.

@nixCraft I'm rebranding and selling mine -- and on a subscription model! :-)

@nixCraft I'm technically doing "something" with it. An old blog I hardly ever update and my late father's art/painting site.

@itsfoss lol I was an EMACS guy in college. The only Vi commands still in my brain are :s, :wq. To be fair, I haven't used EMACS in 20 years and I only remember ctrl K, ctryl Y, ctrl x ctrl c.

@nixCraft I've used Firefox since it came out. I don't know what people have against it.

@nixCraft Except insomnia, anxiety, and stomach pain.

@itsfoss lol

@nixCraft I never "buy" anything on a subscription model. So far I have been lucky to be able to do that.

@nixCraft It was my first programming language. Thank goodness it was not Basic or Visual Basic.

@nixCraft I can just imagine astronaughts trying to find a vital setting and getting invited to read related MSN articles instead.

@nixCraft Kind of provincial. :-)

@nixCraft Is there a version for GitBash (Windows) ?

@nixCraft Does Recall require special hardware that Snapdragon brand computers have?

@nixCraft Stay away unless asked.

@nixCraft

Disagree. Microsoft gained it's foothold in the industry by making a user friendly desktop OS for non-tech end-users cheaper than Apple did. Different market.

@nixCraft Parking lot for late model TARDISs
