I think they mean using curl to grab something and piping the output to bash so it it executed locally.
And it is pretty common. Things like ohmyzsh use it. I find it scary because you’re running things direct from the web without any package signature architecture. I would trust the omz people but what if their GitHub was compromised? But don’t check any of the source? No. I don’t anyway, but with a bit of fear :/

I think the problem is that the law is likely to be applied differently to big organisations compared to individuals or smaller organisations, and that the intended purpose of copyright is mostly forgotten.
It was meant to protect creators ability to earn from what they produce for a while so that they would be encouraged to create and share with the world.
Big orgs monopolising access to scientific writing is not what it was for, and it definitely was not meant to have exceptions that let big orgs ignore the rights if creators in order to build software that then endangers the ability of individual creators to earn from what they create.
Ooh, I will take a look and expect some nostalgia!
Not the commenter you asked but… I played Rapier Punch on the Vic20 and I can’t remember anything else. I never knew anyone else with one so maybe not that popular?
I met the two brothers that made dizzy. They told me the that the IP is still owned by their old company and that’s why they could never make more. It was one of my favourite games as a kid, played on the Amstrad CPC and it was sad to know there were never more due to this.
Nothing, just me making a bad pun. Arse as in butt.
Arse technica
Gene Wilder as Willie Wonka.
It was different across platforms but there was also a much later remake I think.
I’m not sure there is. It’s pretty much a perfect reply. Actual useful advice and a play on words that is simultaneously very apparent but not forced or detracting.
I also had this fear. It lasted later than six years old, too. I don’t like the sound even now as an adult. I never questioned it until recently when discussing sensory issues. It was pointed out that while I keep saying I have none, there’s actually a a list of things I’ve mentioned that are what other people call sensory issues.
Hmm. I really struggled to type that and now I know why. Clearly my brain knew something was wrong but my conscious mi d was not seeing it
But also fantasfuckingtastic seems fine, to me. Just one letter moved.
I agree with you on the ending. It felt like they intentionally left a lot unresolved to encourage calls for a second season, at the expense of the story. It would have been much better if there was some resolution to a few aspects and/or a hint at the fallout of the actions in the season.
Good subtle world building, too.
