100000%. Developers, include screenshots in your READMEs! This one did, but it can’t be said enough.

Seriously. I had to read that five times to see if I was missing sarcasm. What a fucking awful product.

No thanks. Although, it’s a nice sign of Linux’s inevitable dominance.

The file extension doesn’t matter much on Linux. If you’ve got a shebang at the top, the shell you’re running from will invoke the correct shell according to the shebang.

In some situations, you may want to use something like bash <your-script>, but that would only be when you’ve got a script that doesn’t have a shebang, but not having one is bad practice and you really should be using them. Fish isn’t the only non-POSIX shell you’re going to encounter on a Linux system. Python, Perl, and probably some others will be there, and using a shebang ensures no shenanigans. So whether or not you use Fish, you should always use shebangs.

Did ALARM have reproducible builds? They go into that in the article.

It doesn’t appear to rely on ALARM, does it? I haven’t dug through the sources thoroughly yet, but I haven’t see anything there that indicates they’re using ALARM stuff.
