The curl and wget aliases don’t exist on the PowerShell 7 version which is the cross platform one. Only the old powershell.exe builtin to Windows has these aliases and it’s worse today because curl.exe is builtin and the curl alias takes priority when you run just curl.

uv didn't just happen in a vacuum, there has been lots of investment in the Python packaging ecosystem that has enabled it (and other tools) to try and improve the shortcomings of Python and packaging.

There's PEP 518 [1] for build requirements, PEP 600 [2] for manylinux wheels, PEP 621 [3] for pyproject.toml, PEP 656 [4] for musl wheels platform identifiers, PEP 723 [5] for inline script metadata.

Without all this uv wouldn't be a thing and we would be stuck with pip and setuptools or a bunch of more bandaid hacks on top making the whole thing brittle.

Don't get me wrong I can empathise with whitespace formatting being annoying and having both forms be valid just adds confusion it's just surprising to see this was the problem.

Now they aren't perfect, charging can be a bit fiddly over time but they certainly are nicer than the normal headphones. Maybe you just aren't the target audience but clearly they are popular enough for most people.

It would be great if Linux had a mechanism where the host itself could act as the principal to retrieve the gMSA like on Windows but the GSSAPI worker model just works differently there and runs in process. A similar problem exists for using Kerberos FAST/armouring where Windows uses the hosts' ticket to wrap the client request but on Linux there is no privileged worker process that protects this ticket so the client needs to have full access to it.

The closest thing I've seen is gssproxy [1] which tries to solve the problem where you want to protect host secrets from a client actually seeing the secrets but can still use them but I've not seen anything from there to support gMSAs for armouring for client TGT requests.

This is all a guess, the POSIX subsystems were a bit before my time and I've never actually used them. I just know how symlinks work on Windows/NTFS and when they were added.

There are so many features that .Net 5+ brings to the table. Even if features aren’t important the performance improvements you get with the newer versions should be enough to justify moving to it.

I agree the support side is annoying but honestly the support side is really just “security” fixes with security being a very hard thing to describe here and gives MS a lot of wiggle room to not actually support it.
