But, it's the Canary®™... of coal mine fame.

So old. Like 12 years old.

That's only 10 Petabytes per cartridge. The Internet Archive is currently sitting at 212 Petabytes.

I rarely see imperial hex.

(in my experience in the UK)

Well, yeah.

Isn't everything?

I know this is from Kindergarten Cop, and it’s unfortunate that it just happens to sound like right wing rhetoric in the current political climate. So know that at least one person didn’t downvote you.

I also didn’t upvote to counteract those downvotes because it’s kind of a dumb, low-bar joke.

They’re also the company who mainstreamed the software subscription model.

It used to be that only services required subscriptions. Applications would be a one time payment. But, Adobe converted to the subscription model and because they hold a monopoly over the design space, people/companies had no choice but to go along. Once they were successful, every business in the world decided that they also wanted that sweet monthly payment and now software licensing sucks.

I refuse to even pirate Adobe products on principle.

TL;DR Fuck Adobe, use open source.

What your talking about is called a clipboard manager, and there are tons of them out there. All with varying features.

MIT gives YOU more freedom

After years of debate about licenses for my own software (that only I use...), my philosophy has been boiled down to this: MIT for libraries. GPL for programs.

This way, other developers can freely use your library, and your program remains free.

I’m sure there’s some obscure key bind to go directly there

It's just Cmd+Shift+H (for Home). The shortcuts for many of the most common locations are extremely intuitive.

  • Cmd+Shift+A (Applications)
  • Cmd+Shift+D (Desktop)
  • Cmd+Shift+L (~/Library)
  • Cmd+Shift+C (Computer)

Same with Python. I use a combination of the platformdirs and xdg libraries.

XDG gang, rise up!

Also, I know that this community and dot-files in general are Unix based, but this holds true for Windows development as well. You should be putting app files in the users' %APPDATA% directory, not their user folder. It's probably even more important since Windows doesn't autohide dot files.
