A better example might be: in good ol' days when we were formatting with troff(1), passing arguments to the command line invoked other programs like eqn(1) and tbl(1).

Eventually, someone must take source code and build and package the software. When it's Debian maintainers, one at least knows the rules they are operating by. For random people on the internet, it's usually more difficult to ev

Wonderful project; loved the speed and responsiveness. But a humble request: please make sure that the planned "AI integration" is completely optional, not compiled-in, or, even better, a sister project ("aidoxx"?). Havi

Well, of course, in a multi-user system you can send an email to "user". Typically used for system processes to email "root" back in the day, or "postmaster" or other system accounts, as well. Bang paths host!u

Really? That doesn't match my experience. I've just tried: Open Notepad; write something, select and copy it. Exit Notepad. Open browser. Paste. What was written in Notepad gets pasted.

I love curated, consistent, and coherent metadata. Is the plan to also provide accurate (curated) metadata for security and compliance purposes?

An important lesson to learn is the way X11 does copy/paste (hint: it doesn't). You select (typically via the mouse) something on the screen. The client (the software that handles this, e.g.terminal emulator, browser, office editi

Back in the era of landline phones, AT&T calculated that around 70% of their cost was due to billing. People welcomed "unlimited calls with $X a month!" as a liberating innovation, but the truth was that the phone company was

I see no issue using (or even receiving) an SQLite file, where I can see the tables structure and even export everything to pure text format. The major problem of both human-readable and binary formats is not the serialized form, but the un

You should qualify the "often" for people not living in Munich, as some may interpret it to mean "several times per day" or "several times per month". I agree that, in cases where being on time is essential (li

The number of publicly visible forks does not represent the number of organizations compiling their own binaries and internally mandating the use of such binaries. Mind you, I never implied that there are thousands or hundreds of such cases

Of course, the Brotli default (built-in) dictionary is infamous for containing such strings like "Holy Roman Emperor", "Confederate States", "Dominican Republic", etc., due to the way it was created. One can se
