I kind of want to use master on all my projects and change to main on any that get popular just to weed out the lunatics.

Windows isn't Unix and as someone who has spent a career coding for Unix and Unix-like systems, Windows just isn't useful to me. I'm perfectly happy with Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD or even OS X or whatever it's called this week. The code I write generally runs on any of those and things behave as expected.

I've never really used Windows, but I have had to deal with the problems caused by developers using Windows. EOL chars, not putting a trailing EOL char in a file (postconf no like that), a lack of understanding of various Unix things. It's kind of tedious to deal with, but that's more the devs than Windows.

One quick tip: sort -u films.txt > films2.txt

If you only include the filename you could just feed it to vlc.

That's a pretty shitty outcome. And the LoucheBear character doesn't seem to contribute anything of value, just ignorant abuse.

All the more reason to buy your computers from companies that support Linux in the first place - like Slimbook and System 76.

It happened due to Microsoft disabling an Internation Criminal Court lawyer's Office 365 account. This has spooked EU officials that a rogue US administration could harm it and there's a stronger push now for digital sovereignty.

 

You can only use shell in Makefiles, right? Wrong! Here's how to use python or javascript or sql or whatever in Makefiles! (please don't do this)

Long ago I tried a cygwin based openssh server in Windows. Permissions were a real issue.
