rashil2000··on Safari tries to fill username
Why does this matter so much? Our team purposefully decided to use a really well known component library (Material UI React) so that it automatically takes care of browser inconsistencies. But no, I still find myself and my team scratching our heads writing a ton of Safari-specific CSS just to ensure it works on par with Firefox.

No, but Safari routinely causes many problems that seem utterly basic for Firefox/Chrome.
rashil2000··on Windows Package Manager 1.0
macOS is already *nix-based, so that's not really surprising. Besides my questions were completely different than what you answered.

> ...anything competes with Mac OSX terminal out of the box...

Would you like to explain how? Maybe not iTerm2, but the Windows Terminal is a pretty capable terminal compared to Terminal.app and it's development progress has been phenomenal.

> WSL1 and 2 aren't super approachable even now...

How so? WSL2 ships with a full Linux kernel, the GUI/Audio support has already hit Insiders and installing Ubuntu is literally two clicks on the MS Store.

> I hate how it prefers to display everything as icons instead of details.

It's actually the opposite. The view for each folder is dependent on what's inside, and if Explorer is unable to decide, it defaults to Details view.

Alternate title: GTA V made to look like GTA IV by new machine learning model :)

That repo is extremely outdated. Here's the official(?) supercharged fork, which is actively developed - https://github.com/chrisant996/clink
rashil2000··on Setting Up Arch Linux with KDE Plasma in Windows Subsystem for Linux 2
It wasn't necessary. I just wanted to experiment; I had some free time over the holidays. The blog is just a PoC. GUI apps on Windows are more than enough; there should be no need (currently, at least) to have GUI apps running in WSL.

It is my favorite too! I can quickly work in Bash/Zsh without starting any WSL sessions.

How would you feel if you were to ask someone "Hey how do I run Office on Linux (for whatever reason, probably work-enforced)?" and they replied "JuSt iNsTaLl WiNdOws!"

I would recommend you to read this article by a former Canonical engineer - https://boxofcables.dev/no-microsoft-is-not-rebasing-windows...

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'll get to work on the font right on. Regarding the `prefers-color-scheme` part, I haven't extensively tested on Firefox, but it works really well on Chromium-ish browsers.
rashil2000··on The Day AppGet Died
Hi, just wanted to chime in and ask a question. Wouldn't MS (or any company for that matter) get in legal trouble for endorsing/crediting a developer who has a history of making software that uses/manages pirated content? The software I'm talking about is Sonarr, and it’s made by Keivan himself. I'm not aware of the legalities here, so asking.
