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.

Or anywhere poor or remotely interesting.

My antivirus is extra paranoid: it scans new files as soon as they're unzipped or as soon as I try to run them for the first time.

GOG Galaxy has the ability to download offline installers. They're listed under Extras on the game's page. It's arguably even better there than on the website because you can download those .bin files all in a single click.

Prime Gaming gives away free games every week or so. It's one of the perks available to those subscribed to Amazon Prime.

Those games can be on EGS, Amazon's own launcher (that nobody uses), GOG, or Legacy Games Launcher.

Actually, from what I can tell in my brief 15-minute internet search, every version of Windows since NT has accepted both because DOS 2.0 supported both. The exception to this was Command Prompt. But, these days, it supports both. Not sure when they made that change in Command Prompt, but I think it's been that way since at least Windows 7.

Technically, Windows understands both / and \. I personally always use / just because it's easier to type that.

Yeah, I think Firefox's translation feature is technically still in beta.

From the SmartTube GitHub:

install Downloader by AFTVnews on your Android TV, open it and enter kutt.it/stn_beta or kutt.it/stn_stable, then read, understand and confirm the security prompts. (You can also enter 79015 (for beta) or 28544 (for stable), but this requires an extra step to install the AFTVnews Downloader browser addon if you haven't already.)

The AFTVnews Downloader is available on both Google Play and Amazon Fire TVs. After installing SmartTube, it can self-update on its own without needing another app.
