Want to use Proton Pass without leaving the terminal? This post is for you.

Our command-line interface (CLI) makes your Proton Pass items and vaults available directly from the terminal, including the ability to manage permissions for items and vaults.

I don’t know about fish completions specifically but there is a module for standard Unix completions: Microsoft.PowerShell.UnixCompleters

Which has the Import-UnixCompleters command.

They’re not though, that’s my point. With a yearly license you can stop paying and pick back up again when it’s convenient for you without losing access to the product you previously paid for. With subscription you do lose access. 4 security conscious stuff that ==, but 4 lots of apps it’s not.

No. But if my options are
1. pay a yearly subscription to have access to something at all,
2. or pay a yearly license fee for continued development AND have the ability to forgo updates but still use the software if I decide those future updates aren’t worth the value then I’m choosing option 2.

Nitpick, but as long as you can keep using it without requiring updates is that not still a purchase?

I’d prefer this with some better terms than an actual subscription requirement for use.

Yep, In my experience you have to actually tell it to render it for you or you’ll just see the text window.

A cartoon reading guide for the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. The guide is styled like an ancient scroll with illustrations of a skeleton and a book at the top. It includes colorful boxes connected by lines, each representing a book or series within the Discworld universe, categorized by themes such as Rincewind, Witches, Death, and Young Adult. The text at the top reads "The Discworld Reading Order Guide 2.2" by Krysztof H. Niezgoda and Anna Francuz.

There are several recommended paths! I like the one recommended in the second image (which is one I captured in Powell’s in Portland.

PowerShell works great on Linux and macOS too. No reason to change when you can use the one true object oriented scripting language everywhere

It’s going to be so great when this shit gets installed on everyone’s lowest-bidder work laptops, with 16 gb of RAM and 23 separate pieces of monitoring spyware. So productive.

Meh, I’m a free speech absolutist in that I absolutely believe the government should not be allowed to interfere in individuals rights to say whatever the fuck they want. But I absolutely believe that doesn’t protect you from any interpersonal conflict for saying dumb shit.

Concerns around PowerShell 7 and community involvement Β· PowerShell PowerShell Β· Discussion #26844 I’d like to raise some concerns regarding the recent progress and communication around PowerShell and related projects. I want to emphasize that I have a great deal of respect for the team and the ...

Over the past couple of months I've grown increasingly concerned around the future of PowerShell. It seems like the days of community involvement are getting less frequent so I wrote github.com/PowerShell/P.... Would love anyone else to share their thoughts if they wish to.

I prefer it, but it’s mostly familiarity. They both have good and bad features.
I prefer PowerShell’s verbosity and verb-noun convention because it makes it readable (when done right).
But PowerShells real strength is that it’s a dotnet program and lets you access all of the underlying c# types.

It’s pretty much the exact same idea, Linux just uses the filesystem as a K/V store and windows uses a database. But they’re both hard to find things in if you don’t know what you’re looking for

A screenshot of the β€œPay” section of the BLS data linked in the original post.

News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists
Median annual wages, May 2024
Media and communication
workers
$70,300

News analysts, reporters, and journalists
$60,280

Total, all occupations
$49,500

Note: All Occupations includes all occupations in the U.S. Economy.

Statistics
The median annual wage for news analysts, reporters, and journalists was $60,280 in May 2024. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $34,590, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $162,430.
In May 2024, the median annual wages for news analysts, reporters, and journalists in the top industries in which they worked were as follows:

Media streaming distribution services, social networks, and other media networks and content providers
$77,460

Television broadcasting stations
$65,670

Radio broadcasting stations
$56,230

Newspaper publishers
$46,640

Most news analysts, reporters, and journalists work full time, and schedules vary. They may need to work additional hours or change their schedules in order to follow breaking news. Because news can happen at any time, they may need to work nights and weekends. They may also work nights and weekends to lead news programs or provide commentary.

Yep, that appears to be the intent. I still disagree with the original framing that this is what the average American earns.

Though frankly I’m not sure that’s the best metric to use as the majority of Americans currently do not work full time…

Since the link he posted didn’t work for me I did some digging and it does appear that median full time employed income is around 62k…
