It’s probably there just because it was one of the many files preinstalled on one of Epstein’s computers that the FBI nabbed. Still funny.

    I hate how I need to put URLs in quotes now that I switched to zsh. But over 2025 I finally internalized the fact that I have to.

    Otherwise, as a CLI novice, I have not noticed much being different.

    (macOS, I finally ran the command to migrate a year or two ago)

        I wouldn’t be surprised that it was just the few things I use that didn’t care. YouTube-dl was one of them. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was living a lie, and zsh enforced what should have been normal across the board.

        I’m not that aware or savvy about the structure of the terminal and what a shell even is. 😅

      Look into “Oh My Zsh” or similar plugin managers. OMZ is bloated as fuuuck and you’ll probably want to replace it with your own custom configs at some point, but it’s the easiest way to see what a decked out zsh feels like. It’s a good starting point for sure.

      Personally I’m down to just 4 plugins with minor config tweaks on top of a bare zsh install. I’ve read good things about Starship but I’m happy with my current setup.

          I have been unfairly biased against fish ever since Phil Fish became public enemy #1 many years ago. I don’t even remember what the controversy was about, but fuck him and the unix shell he has absolutely nothing to do with.

          Aahhh, so true! 😅 I tweaked zsh more and more and… then tried fish and found it to be what I wanted from zsh with some extra funbits I’m happy to have anyway :3
