You can whatever shell you like and still write scripts in bash, as bash is a part of (practically) every system. When you write a .sh script the first line will indicate which shell to use, so you can run bash scripts from any shell so long as you have it installed.

My gut reaction to this article was probably the same as a lot of people here "this is just baby boomers complaining about younger people again" and it kinda is, but it's mostly a targeted parliamentary review into the effects of ageism on the older generation, and I would expect the government to do a similar review on the younger generation, if they haven't already.

I do believe that pinning negative stereotypes on whole generations is wrong. It was wrong when the boomers did it to the millenials, it is wrong when millenials do it to gen z, and it's wrong to go the other way.

Where does all the power and wealth concentrate? Amongst the boomers and older Gen x. Are they all wealthy and powerful? Fuck no! We're all being exploited by the top 0.1% of the population, let's not forget that.

Hmmm, I must be cycling into a headwind constantly.

This is why calorie count alone is an imperfect measure of how "healthy" a food is.

Also, I'm pretty sure that even the idea of calories is flawed, and practically useless as a nutrition indicator.

Yeah I remember that time very well. Unfortunately I don't think the campaign in favour of AV was handled very well, the opposition were able to just churn out lies and fear-mongering without having effective push back.

This is why we need voting reform, and also why we probably won't get it

I have been looking into setting up a pixelfed server, but I don't know if I could afford to run it at the moment.

Carrie Underwood doesn't surprise me, but The Village People news hurts.

Well, to be fair it wasn't just her. Kwasi Kwarteng helped too!
