This may an overly cynical take, though that seems hard to do these days, but I’ve always believed they are intentionally vague… even to their customers.

So, it looks like Bluefin used to do some PATH gymnastics to keep things working pretty smoothly.

But now, they just make sure that brew is last in the PATH. This prioritizes the CLI commands baked into the image.

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it!

So far, I will say that I haven’t run into any issues but it’s interesting to learn about some of the pitfalls/limitations too.

It’s all about trade offs, I guess!

I have also been a Bluefin user for a while now…

Could you say more about the PATH issues with brew? Or point me to where I can learn more about them? I was kind of enjoying brew for installing development tools, and was thinking about adopting it on my non-atomic machines too. Should I not do that?

I am parent of two elementary school aged children. I have just lived through the “6 7” era.

I will regard “let’s go” as a blissful respite.

I agree… but I also think that applies to LOTS of other foods, particularly in the setting of a restaurant.

Yeah, that’s also my question. Partially because I am a former-lawyer-turned-software-developer… but, yeah. How are the kernel maintainers supposed to evaluate whether a particular PR contains non-GPL code?

Granted, this was potentially an issue before LLMs too, but nowhere near the scale it will be now.

(In the interests of full disclosure, my legal career had nothing to do with IP law or software licensing - I did public interest law).

You got me!

I’ll be 44 on Easter Sunday.

Lots of veggies. Lots of strength training, but nothing too complicated. Also, doing stuff with my kids like Little League and Cub Scouts keeps me moving.

That is correct

I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you.

Ok… I’m not shocked at all.

This is a great suggestion. I also like the DS9 Ops one that has very faint character dialogue in the background.

Yeah, Morrowind is my favorite game of all time.

These days I play it with higher res textures and a mod to make the wildlife less insanely hostile via the excellent OpenMW.

Yes.

The purpose of technology is to improve our lives, help us overcome problems or disabilities, and make our world better.

Instead we have allowed a small group of sociopaths to turn that on its head. We now work to produce “content” for LLMs to slurp up for the purpose of creating more bullshit.
