Bit late to the party. They got caught infecting their customers’ machines with rootkits back in 2005.
Ooh, worth a try. I’m not sure whether I have the necessary permissions, though. My work laptop is pretty locked down.
All I can really tell you is that I remember seeing a message about the new default being zsh, and that was back in 2020 or maybe 2021. So it def switched from something else to zsh, but whether it was bash -> zsh or zsh -> bash -> zsh…shrug
I had to go back and check. Apple says that the default changed from bash to zsh in Catalina (10.15). I seem to recall a message coming up on the machine about zsh. I definitely remember poking around at config files and looking at iTerm2 vs. the default terminal app at the time.
Does that make me extra nerdy? IDK. I can tell you that I was more focused on “What’s going to be comfortable to work with” vs. nerding out on shell differences.
I do miss homebrew now that I’m working on a Windows laptop.
I used a macbook for work for a while with zsh in the terminal. IDK whether I qualify as emo, but I am nerdy. I only think of myself as regular nerdy, though, not extra nerdy.


Ea-Nasir is at it again, eh?
Great, now I’m thinking it as though Hugo Weaving is reading it to me
Cape Verde? I didn’t recognize the flag, and searching turned out to be harder than I expected :\
Happy dog PTSD day…
And in yeehaw units, that’s… 20 vs 40mph
that doesn’t mean we hand drivers licenses to incompetent or irresponsible people.
Judging by the way people drive in my city, that’s exactly what it means :(
Oh, come on. They can’t ALL be the worst code I’ve ever written!
Calling the boiling point of water simply “warm” is a bit sus.
I’m always happy to see a HTCPCP reference!
I stopped reading at “the Internet got going in 1995”. FFS, even the web dates back to 1991!

But since the rest of the thread is in English, I hope you’ll forgive me for thinking of this in the context of predominantly English-speaking countries.


I’m Brian, and so is my wife!
Conway, is that you?
