Fish rules (piefedimages.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com)

fish, the friendly interactive shell, is a commandline shell intended to be interactive and user-friendly.

fish is intentionally not fully POSIX compliant, it aims at addressing POSIX inconsistencies (as perceived by the creators) with a simplified or a different syntax. This means that even simple POSIX compliant scripts may require some significant adaptation or even full rewriting to run with fish.

I really like Fish but for simple stuff like youtube-dl you always have to put quotation marks around the YouTube video's address because Fish thinks the question mark is an operator. So annoying.

    reinstalling Fish right now

    Alright:

    > /usr/bin/fish --version
    fish, version 4.0.1
    

    For whatever reason openSUSE doesn't ship 4.0.2 despite the fact that it's in its development repo since months. Oh well, could be worse.
