For those who don’t know the image source, it’s from Kung Fury, a short comedy (half hour) on youtube. Fully recommend for over the top parody of bad 80s action movies.
I don’t use the termulator for opening apps that can bepened through GUI simply because the termulator has to stay open and that clutters the taskbar.

&either (I know&&but I’m guessing it’s different), but you can ctrl+z it, then usebgto run it in the background, thendisownto divorce it from the terminal.I’ll try
firefox &when I get home and see what happens though, I’m assuming that’s what he meant.&runs the program in the background right away.I tried & and it lets you continue sending commands into the terminal. Typing firefox & and then disown and closing the terminal yields the same result as opening firefox through the GUI.
Dude awesome! Good to know, thanks!

Yup!
When you’re going up against Adolf Hitler and need to travel back in time, it’s the right equipment for the job.
Adolf Hitler? Ive heard of that guy!
I thought a bazooka was the preferred weapon for that.
You mean the Kung Führer?
If anyone’s curious as to whether this scene was considered cringy when the movie came out, yes. Yes, it was.
As a 10 year old, this was the best movie I’d ever seen. I watched it again a few years ago, and realised I’d somehow failed to clock that the whole thing is one huge, expensive advert for Nintendo.
But it was still great.
I was 13 when it came out, and I knew it was an ad for Nintendo, but I didn’t care. It was exceedingly rare to see video games focused on like this in a movie and I really liked it! Even today, it’s cheesy, but not a bad movie.
me at the ripe age of 12 discovering i could type

What, no black hoodie? I thought all hackers had to wear a hoodie to hack
Not all of them…some wear white hats? 😜
These kids and their hoodies. Everybody knows that hackers look like this.
There must be a “the virgin Mr Robot hacker vs the chad Kung Fury hackerman” comparison out there somewhere
FYI on a Mac you just type “open” and give it the file name. Works with any file.
Not sure how this works on Linux because I only use it via the cli
xdg-openseems to do the same in Linux, since ‘xdg-utils’ oversee file associations.
More like, the app complains about not being able to find the window manager due to some environment variables missing in the shell env, and refuses to launch.
Do you even export DISPLAY, bro?!??
I need to watch this again
Man, if this guy has access to a Mac, Spotlight’s gonna blow his mind.
Alfred beats the pants off Spotlight as a launcher. Because of the custom actions, in particular.
But have u used tiling window manager?
