  • Back in the Python 2.7 days, curl | grep sh was the standard practice for installing the package manager, pip. Even better, the shell script actually had a binary blob somewhere in the middle. It was shell script up top, binary blob in the middle, and back to shell script at the bottom. Until Python 3.5ish, pip wasn’t bundled with Python, so this was standard practice.






  • You can watch YouTube in DuckDuckGo to the same effect as you mentioned in the description. A boring answer is that you can install basically anything if you can get access to cmd, power shell, or terminal. You can also install almost anything to user space instead of for all users. On Mac, this is kind of a hidden feature now, but you can make a ~/Applications folder and put apps in there. Generally, if you ask IT, they can be helpful. “Hey, I need uBlock Origin so I waste less of my time at work.” isn’t going to make anyone blink twice.



  • I would argue the overarching story across Resident Evil isn’t that important. The first 3 are kinda close, but the rest take place across the world and there’s a new virus/outbreak each time. The only overlap is the characters. They’re all very different games, RE1 and RE4 have basically no overlap in play style, so pick what looks fun and start there. Odds are you’ll never get around to playing them all.
