That's good. There are also editors that can run it for you and highlight the issues whilst you type, neovim being one.

$() for me, to quote from

https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2006

Backtick command substitution `...` is legacy syntax with several issues.

  1. It has a series of undefined behaviors related to quoting in POSIX.
  2. It imposes a custom escaping mode with surprising results.
  3. It's exceptionally hard to nest.

$(...) command substitution has none of these problems, and is therefore strongly encouraged.

What a shame that film wasn't better but maybe Aeon Flux's feel could never be captured in live action

Cyclists have hailed a new multi-million pound cycle route as a "gamechanger" as construction nears completion.

The Gloucestershire Cycle Spine, a segregated cycle lane linking Gloucester, Cheltenham and Bishop's Cleeve, has caused months of disruption but is now due to be finished in March 2026.

A cycling campaign group has hailed the ambitious scheme, which in future could end stretching 26 miles (42km) and all the way to Stroud.

Gloucestershire County Council said the scheme was already causing a boost to the number of people cycling.

The £48m scheme has been criticised after roadworks caused disruption in both Gloucester and Cheltenham.

Does such an app exist?

I guess so, the readme states:

The game Cave Story was released in 2004 and made available in the freeware version after more than five years in development...

It is good, a nice mix of story and action I think plus the (unique?) concept of your owl carrying characters who have their own abilities is interesting. The puzzles are pretty simple it's mostly about the combat though there's also a little bit of stealth needed at times.

Difficulty does ramp up quite fast, or at least compared to something like Mario Wonder but Owlboy is a shorter game so I guess that's to be expected. The pixel art is luscious and there are some memorable scenes. In reviews I think it ranges from 70-90% and I'd give it 80+ for sure.

If you have a linux machine Cave Story is also freely available via flatpak: https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.gitlab.coringao.cavestory-nx

Owlboy, continuing my slow progress. Reminds me of Cave Story a bit.

He highlights Denmark’s attempt to treat a person’s face and voice as property — a creative way to counter deepfakes through copyright law.

Interesting!

Proton has already begun to cut some ties with Switzerland over "legal uncertainty." Lumo is the first product to change home, with Germany currently hosting its servers.

The company has also confirmed it's developing facilities in Norway, while investing over €100 million to build a "sovereign European stack" for its services, ensuring it "can’t be held hostage by Switzerland" if the laws change for the worse.

Switzerland's loss is Germany and Norway's gain
