Re:Scripts I wrote that I use all the time by chipsrafferty on Thursday October 23, 2025 @11:24PM (#45690432)
In my experience, it's not "maybe" but "almost certainly" which is why I stopped doing this. Every time I get a new system I would have to set everything up again, it's not cross platform, doesn't work when using someone else's computer, suddenly breaks for some reason or another, or you forget it exists...

The annoyance of all these factors for outweighs the benefits, in my experience. It's just that the scripts feel good at first and the annoyance doesn't come until later and eventually you abandon them.

Sounds like something you could automate with a script :)
