- It is different from a package manager because it isn’t platform specific because you can add scripts for any distro or architecture.
- It isn’t really comparable to something like that because it just stores and runs bash scripts to install stuff.
- It can install any app, from anywhere, not just specific to zsh.
- It’s mostly convenience. Also, not all websites have a script to remove once installed, or automated ways to update.
Berserkware@lemmy.mlOPtohomelab@lemmy.ml•Where is the best place to buy used enterprise servers?
1·3 years agoWhere would one find ‘local’ stuff? Should I just email places and hope they have old servers they need to get rid of? Thanks.
Berserkware@lemmy.mlOPtohomelab@lemmy.ml•Where is the best place to buy used enterprise servers?
0·3 years agoThanks. Would the noise and heat from a dedicated server be noticeable in neighboring rooms? Also how much of a power consumption increase would be expected?
There is always libreoffice

Open Source@lemmy.ml•The NZ government is requiring use of proprietary software to do our important tests.
0·3 years agoMy theory to why they don’t allow firefox or linux is that due to the freedom of both of them. This makes it so you can stop the website from knowing that you are not focused on the tab/window, and you can stop the website from locking fullscreen.

3·3 years agoI tried this and it worked. I still don’t think my school will allow it due to the fact that I can access the web from outside the vm, which would allow me to cheat.

8·3 years agoIt is possible to make the website think I am using chrome and windows, but I don’t want to get in trouble for cheating. Even if I use degoogle Chromium it still won’t allow me because I use Linux.
Definitely Terraria, Factorio, or Project Zomboid.

Berserkware@lemmy.mlOPtoGeneral Programming Discussion@lemmy.ml•What are the benefits of not using JavaScript in website front-ends?
4·3 years agoAwesome. I have found a way to work my project without JavaScript, and it actually makes the back-end a lot cleaner.
Berserkware@lemmy.mlOPtoGeneral Programming Discussion@lemmy.ml•What are the benefits of not using JavaScript in website front-ends?
4·3 years agoThanks. I think I will remove the JavaScript from the website I am working on right now. I don’t really like JavaScript anyway.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•when Fox News wrote their 3-point "Github Dictionary"
7·3 years agoThis reminds me of the “who is this 4chan” meme.






The point is not to have the script directly install the program (e.g. getting the binary, putting it where it needs to be, and making a desktop file), but to have the script be used as a wrapper for any of the methods you mentioned above. This would allow for a more consistent installing experience, and in the future, a unified CLI. It would also be better for the reasons mentioned in my post.
