Huh. Never realized that. I’ve only ever heard Linux users call it CLI, so I just assumed it was what most Linux users called the Terminal. And I assumed Terminal was the generic name since Mac also has a Terminal app.
Also, side note: it’s called Terminal on Windows now, too. Windows unified their Powershell and Command Prompt programs into a single app (on the surface, at least). You can open either Powershell or Command Prompt using tabs in the app.
To be fair, Windows really hasn’t pushed Powershell all that much. They haven’t even fully ported over all of Command Prompt’s commands. You have to prefix those with .\ (I think; it’s been a while) in order to get them to run even though the error message that comes up if you don’t include that will tell you, “Hey, there’s a command named this. Prefix it with that to use it.”
Now, instead of simply porting everything over, they have one app (named Terminal) running both programs.
I think it’s the Linux equivalent of Windows Command Prompt.
I can’t remember the last time I got a DLL error on my Windows laptop, honestly. I don’t think that’s ever happened on my current computer.
So it’s Scoop, but for Linux? (That’s a compliment. I love Scoop.)

Just an FYI for the RSS thing: if a Bluesky account is set to be viewable to logged-in users only, its RSS feed will not work. It only works if the profile is viewable publicly without logging in.
In general, yeah. Private torrent trackers tend to focus on specific types of content. Some might focus on cartoons. Some might focus on anime. Some focus on books. Some focus on video games. Public trackers, on the other hand, generally focus on everything, which, of course, means they won’t have a lot of the older or more niche stuff, and they might be lacking in one or more categories (music, anime, books, TV, etc.).
It’s also much less likely that a torrent on a private tracker will die because most private trackers enforce certain rules about seeding and because the people there are generally much more into seeding than most people on a public tracker. (Probably most people on public trackers simply download what they need and stop before seeding anything back.)
Private trackers are also typically the first (and sometimes only) places to get scene releases. Scene releases, which are done by private groups, are usually higher quality than stuff on public trackers. Sometimes, they leak onto a public tracker, but not usually.
Eh, Aniwave was a pretty big one for the anime community. From what I understand, it’s the one most people fled to after KissAnime was taken down. Aside from that, I’ve never heard of any of the other sites they mentioned.
Me waiting for the next “mothership” to pop up so I can use it:
Aniwave (formerly known as 9anime) was, from what I understand, the site most people fled to after KissAnime bit the dust.
You just have to use the side of your foot (like in soccer) instead of the front.
Any more details?
This sounds like the setup to a fun story.
If it was the second Tuesday of the month, probably updating.
I’d heard some hospitals were affected. They cancelled appointments and non-critical surgeries.
I’m guessing it was mostly their “behind the desk” computers that got affected, not the computers used to control the important stuff. The computers in patients’ rooms may have been affected as well, but (at least in the US) those are usually just used to record information about medicine given and other details about the patient, nothing critical that can’t be done manually.
But the computer is within leg’s reach.
Their computers may not be affected, but their everyday lives might be. Some of the affected services include 911, stoplights, banks, hospitals, and a whole other smorgasbord of stuff.
It wasn’t a virus definitions update. It was a driver update. The driver is used to identify and block threats incoming from wifi and wired internet.
