I don't follow

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.

But if the people deciding what the meter was at first were allowed to make errors

It's not that they were allowed to make errors, it's more like they made errors and didn't know any better.

why werent the people deciding what the new meter was?

They may very well have made a mistake, and we just haven't noticed yet.

I've recently started using windows again for work, after not touching it for like 15 years, msys2 makes it tolerable.

I'm a devops engineer, and my company won't allow me to use WSL. Go figure.

TachiJ2K is the fork that debut 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.

Got it, thanks.

I read that, but my question still stands.

Not sure I entirely understand this, would this function as a replacement for the *arr stack?

I'm allergic to subscriptions, but I might just consider it.
