I believe Apple’s iCloud+ option is $0.99/month.


You can do that at least for CLI apps with OrbStack. Not sure if it has X or Wayland support.


micro?


You literally, and I mean literally read my mind dear random stranger down to the wording. Micro is definitely underrated.

Micro is a truly goated software. I mean, it can genuinely replace vscode for small scale editing in the context of shopify that the parent comment was referring to.

https://micro-editor.github.io/

It also helped me in physics when I had to remember the units like 10^-6 being micro, 10^-9 being nano etc. and the funny thing is that I used to remember it in the start by seeing I am not sure if it was on micro's github or something but it was a comment on how micro has more features than nano and thus it's name.

So like for some time I definitely felt like I was thinking of micro software, then nano and making the feature comparison to find micro to be larger than nano.

Might seem kinda niche but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MICRO. Its the one software that I install everywhere, even on my android phone by using UserLand[1] with alpine linux.

I tried writing python code on my phone and it was definitely pleasant thanks to micro.

You could call it Elegant Variation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elegant_variation


In the case where it's rather forced, you could call it Inelegant Variation instead.


Exactly that, thank you!


If you make your Windows 11 USB with Rufus you can disable the TPM 2.0 and other hardware requirement checks. You totally should try a Linux install first though!


I expect they didn’t see it not being renewed coming because the contract was renewed every time for the past 25 years.



Yes, you can quote the values and embed them directly, but what if you want to do something like this?

    shell('echo "Hello, {user}"')
You would have to do something like:

    arg_for_echo = f"Hello, {user}"
    shell(f"echo {shlex.quote(arg_for_echo)}")
The main drawback of quoting values like that is that you can't embed them inside an argument in the shell. The environment variable "trick" I used avoids this problem.

Using quotes to sanitize arguments like that is how google/zx (library for writing shell/JS hybrid scripts) handles arguments: https://google.github.io/zx/quotes


My proposal:

    shell('echo '+shlex.quote(f'Hello, {user}'))
i.e. never quote any (non-constant?) shell args by hand.
