Now you have two problems.

DBUS -> Crappy COM

SystemD -> SVCHost.exe

Iproute 2 -> You like netsh.exe?

Gnome 3, 4 -> Windows 8 wannabe

Mono -> C# road building path

GConf -> Windows Registry; heck, dconf-editor and gconf-editor look really close.

Can't wait for MMC.exe and GPO editing under Gnome.

A) LLM's caused disasters because juniors have no clue on the context of the applying commands.

B) With the current enshittification, your comment it's the obsolete one. 100 times over. Why? Enjoy your crappy iOS'ified OS with a maze of dependencies (Python3 for instance), SIP and updates breaking everything.

C) If any, the newbies are the doomed ones, as they don't know anything about computers. Solaris SMF commands (or AIX ones) blindly applied ro RHEL systems? Why not?

By "the basics", I mean the Unix command line model, with its shells and file descriptors and piping. What matters less now are the arcane details, like which flags to use when running a command.

Nerdfont sucks as it's non-standard.

Why is that important?

It deviates from the Unicode standard. It's doomed to fail.

there's enough support for it across various things that it's not going anywhere

They said the same about ISO-8859-* encodings, Webdings/Windings fonts under Windows. Gone. Forever.

Wingdings is available in OTF format to put on your web site as a webfont: https://www.onlinewebfonts.com/fonts/wingdings_OTF

So is Webdings: https://www.dafontfree.io/webdings-font/

Webdings even got integrated into Unicode 7.0, so all the Noto fonts support it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webdings

And recode(1) has full support for ISO-8859-*. As does iconv and the Python3 encodings.codecs module. I'm pretty sure browsers can render pages in them, too. Firefox keeps rendering UTF-8 pages as if they were ISO-8859-1 encoded when I screw up at setting the charset parameter on their content-type.

>Webdings even got integrated into Unicode 7.0,

That's the point. Think again.

Everything in life is temporary. If it lasts while I use it, it's as good to me as if it lasts forever.

ASCII and Unicode will outlast us. Not the case with Nerd fonts.

Hopefully the people after us will spend some time enjoying the things we have left to them; if they dedicate all their time to creating things that will outlast them, all our efforts will have been wasted.

You had Java in your national ID chip, on J2ME phones and under Android.

GPL doesn't extend to I/O.

How avoiding LLM's altogether and using Emacs with Recutils for instance?

Thanks.

More like you press a button and self-shifts a la Transformer into an F16 or even an interdimensional shifting UFO visiting *BSD cousins.

Roads? In my daily computing I don't use roads. I just shift between portals (IRC/Bitlbee, Gopher, Gemini, AWK/TCL/Lisp, SLRN+mbsync+msmtp...)
