I use fish mainly just for the quality of life increase that its predictive features and command history give. I also really like that it uses functions to play the role of aliases, and it’s super easy to write and save new functions on the fly.

That said… I haven’t put in the time to really learn its nuances and I still write shell scripts using bash. Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but it works for me.

“How do you sleep at night? You obviously don’t own a My Pillow.”

Wow, that was cringe.

I did Startpage, then self-hosted searx for a while, then switched back to Startpage, and recently subscribed to Kagi, which I very much enjoy. I do not mind paying a provider for search built with the user in mind rather than their advertisers.

There’s a Firefox addon called “Add custom search engine” which will allow you to add a local instance of searx.

You’ll want to give it the full search query, with %s where the search string goes. for you, it’ll be something like:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/search?q=%s

I find the lack of Space Quest titles in this thread unsettling. For me, it’s Space Quest IV, but they are all absolute gems.

I left Thunderbird ultimately because of dwindling O365 support. How is it now? My work and school emails are all O365, because evidently companies think Microsoft is the only option.

“Dad, don’t call me Jeezy Creezy! Holy Ghost, this is not an episode of Scooby Doo!”

I have Comic Mono too, it’s great. I’m using Comic Code for ligature support.

Comic Code has ligatures, but it’s not free. Still $30 well spent for me. https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code

I love Comic Mono. I use Comic Code - it’s not free but it does support ligatures, which was worth it to me. The legibility boost is excellent.

You’ll have to pry Comic Code from my cold dead hands!
