When I was 10, I moved to another country and started studying in an international school. I essentially only spoke Portuguese (my mother tongue) with my parents and my brother, which meant I was fully immersed in English for a huge chunk of my formative years.
English isn't technically my mother tongue, but it might as well be. I write better in English than I do in Portuguese, because that's the language I wrote in in school. My Portuguese is flawless, and nobody would ever say that is isn't my mother tongue, but in some situations my English is just better. I consider myself to have two mother tongues, even though I'm technically an ESL speaker.
I have also not been able to replicate my level of English in other languages. I'm fluent in German, and I have no difficulty with any aspect of the language, be it reading, speaking, writing or listening, but it's really clear that it is not my mother tongue.
"Young Chinese women have small fingers," the article reads, "and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said."
Fucking what? Who are these supply chain experts? Did you pull them out of your ass?
This reads like AI. I've lost any speck of respect I still had for NYT.
Msys2 was not created for devops, I just happen to be a devops engineer who uses it. Their websites describes it as:
MSYS2 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with an easy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windows software.
Because it makes software building, packaging and distributing as simple aand standardised as it is on Linux, it means they effectively have a very good CLI on their hands. On my work laptop, I now use WezTerm with fish shell and helix editor for my workflow, and live in the terminal. Would this be possible to do without msys2 or wsl? Yes, but it would be a huge pain.
I was in the same boat as you, except that I came to the conclusion it was worth paying for. Then perplexity came out, and that decision was a little harder to justify, but I stuck with kagi.
Then my ISP gave me a year of perplexity pro along with my internet speed upgrade. As much as I hate AI tools being everywhere, some of them are good, and Perplexity pro is one of them. Now that I've tried it, I think it's worth it to the point that I'd pay for it even if my ISP didn't give me the subscription.
I could never figure out how to set it up a sort from the one with Git.
That's because the one provided with git is a nerfed version of msys2. If you install msys2 as a standalone thing from their website, you get everything you need for a functional CLI on windows. Most importantly, you get a real package manager and decently populated repositories.
TachiJ2K is the fork that debuted bulk migration, and, while relatively inactive, it's technically still maintained. It's very much feature complete though, so I wouldn't much about it not being super maintained.
Personally, I've been using Yokai, it's basically J2K, but actively maintained and getting feature updates.
I'm partial towards bato.to. It used to be the aggregator before MangaDex came around, it even had ads and revenue share with the scanlators who uploaded there. Alas it eventually got a massive DMCA just like the MangaDex one, and combined with constant DDOSes and overall maintainer burnout, it died. It recently came back under different ownership and seems to be a very complete aggregator, which leans even harder on the piracy aspect, as it hosts official translations.
The cake is a lie!
