“Young Chinese women have small fingers,” the article reads, “and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said.”

Fucking what? Who are these supply chain experts? Did you pull them out of your ass?

This reads like AI. I’ve lost any speck of respect I still had for NYT.

I like the expression, but cashews are not nuts.

I don’t follow

Msys2 was not created for devops, I just happen to be a devops engineer who uses it. Their websites describes it as:

MSYS2 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with an easy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windows software.

Because it makes software building, packaging and distributing as simple aand standardised as it is on Linux, it means they effectively have a very good CLI on their hands. On my work laptop, I now use WezTerm with fish shell and helix editor for my workflow, and live in the terminal. Would this be possible to do without msys2 or wsl? Yes, but it would be a huge pain.

I was in the same boat as you, except that I came to the conclusion it was worth paying for. Then perplexity came out, and that decision was a little harder to justify, but I stuck with kagi.

Then my ISP gave me a year of perplexity pro along with my internet speed upgrade. As much as I hate AI tools being everywhere, some of them are good, and Perplexity pro is one of them. Now that I’ve tried it, I think it’s worth it to the point that I’d pay for it even if my ISP didn’t give me the subscription.

I could never figure out how to set it up a sort from the one with Git.

That’s because the one provided with git is a nerfed version of msys2. If you install msys2 as a standalone thing from their website, you get everything you need for a functional CLI on windows. Most importantly, you get a real package manager and decently populated repositories.

But if the people deciding what the meter was at first were allowed to make errors

It’s not that they were allowed to make errors, it’s more like they made errors and didn’t know any better.

why werent the people deciding what the new meter was?

They may very well have made a mistake, and we just haven’t noticed yet.

I’ve recently started using windows again for work, after not touching it for like 15 years, msys2 makes it tolerable.

I’m a devops engineer, and my company won’t allow me to use WSL. Go figure.

What? The two things have nothing to do with each other. A GNU operating system doesn’t need to be open source or have its source code available anywhere. A GNU operating system just means it uses GNU tools.

You could write a new kernel from scratch, never distribute a single character of the source code, make an operating system with your new kernel along with GNU tools, and even sell your operating system, which the GPL allows for. The GNU tools would still be open source, sure, but your operating system would be neither open source, nor have its source code completely available.

Which means it isn’t truly open source, just that the source code is available.

Don’t get me wrong, I love that the source for TF2 is available, but it’s not open source.

I’ve heard the term source available be used, though not sure how popular it is.

You can follow whatever you think is best. I’ll stick to and evangilise what I view to be the correct definition of open source.

Ubuntu is not FSF approved, and guess what, it’s still a GNU operating system

What makes Ubuntu a GNU operating system isn’t the fact that it’s FSF approved, it’s the fact that it uses GNU tools.

No, those would not be open source.

Definition of Open Source: https://opensource.org/osd

Just to be pedantic, if the source is available, but there are restrictions on how the source is used, it’s not open source.

Open source licenses do not forbid anyone from using the source code for any purpose.

Cashapp, if I had to guess.
