Hey #fishshell fans: fish_update_completions is an astoundingly useful command that I just discovered today.
It searches all your man pages and generates completions for any commands that may have been installed since you installed fish. I might need to run this on a scheduled basis. #linux
@bean thank you for this:
If the & character is followed by a non-separating character, it is not interpreted as background operator. Separating characters are whitespace and the characters ;<>&|.
it was really-annoying to send URLs including a & to yt-dlp and get a pointless background task running because of an unescaped ampersand
How marginal are you?
Me: Firefox, Thunderbird, Android, Pear Launcher, Fedora Linux, COSMIC desktop, Fish shell, Mastodon
Somewhere between “mainstream-adjacent” and “fully self-inflicted” 😄

I believe fish shell doesn’t get enough attention. I’m really suggest you to try it out.
It can replace oh-my-zsh without or almost without plugins, while providing even better user experience.

Today, unlike many days before, I woke up to seeing a project I use and like very much on the path towards taking a stand against LLMs.
Today is off to a good start, thank you #fishShell.
All these quality of life improvements in #ghostty. 😍 Congrats to the whole team for 1.3.
The native notification on command finish! I've had a #fishshell plugin for I don't know how many years for this... I'm going to need to test this magic. 😎
