I can't wait for some pope to tell the Africans it's wrong to use these. Again.

It searches for a process named vim using grep (which searches within provided lines), but since grep vim also contains vim, we then exclude grep too, so only the actual vim process gets found without the grep vim process. Sounds a lot like this post, doesn't it?

ps aux | grep vim | grep -v grep

Honestly I can't say that I miss installing rootkits with terrifying privileges just to play games. I'd rather limit the privileges games have with Flatpak etc., not give them even more.

From their FAQ:

Q: What shells does Wave Terminal support?
A: We currently only support bash. […]

Seems at least dishonest to advertise it as a "terminal" if it works only with a specific shell. It's okay to have extra features enabled by escape codes emitted by the shell, but if it goes beyond that, I'd say it's not just a terminal anymore.

Now that I think about it, any of the kids could do much more with their power. Fine, "heart" can control animals. But then we have earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis and whatever flamey shit fire can do. Basically if we drop the limitations of the user not willing to go all out, they all get buffed and "heart" still sounds underpowered. Unless it can control human minds too, now we're talking!

Hah, good point.

What's the deal with both the oatmeal and nickelback?

All kinds of Indian curry. I cannot get enough of it.
