Ripgrep 14 Released
I wanted to like sd but it doesn't support my main use case of recursive search/replace. Imagine every time you wanted to grep some files you had to build a find+xargs+rg pipeline... it just takes me out of the flow too much. I'm glad people are posting other options here, I'm looking forward to trying them.

https://github.com/chmln/sd ftw (sed rebuilt in rust, much easier imho) ;-)

What modern utilities should be a standard part of a modern unixy distro?
sd is a more intuitive alternative to sed, focussing on making find and replace easier - which is all I ever used sed for.

Delete all occurrences of a string
If it's in multiple files? To be honest, I'd just use a terminal and sed (or sd if you want something with a more friendly interface).

sd: your script directory
I love the idea and I'll try it out, but a heads up in case the author is around: the name sd clashes with another tool [0], which works as an alternative to sed.
I use that one pretty often, so maybe my first managed script will be one which symlinks binaries :)

Rust Easy! Modern Cross-platform Command Line Tools to Supercharge Your Terminal
sd is a find-and-replace CLI, and you can use it as a replacement for sed and awk. It is way more user-friendly and modern. It is also magnitudes faster than sed.

Help compiling a package with a compiler flag from an official Debian source
The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

How do I change default image and video interpreter program through environment variables for nnn file manager ? (Asking herre bc r/linuxquestions doesnt allow posts)
You can get the 'default' nuke plugin script from https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke and customize it if you need to. You define files by extension or mime type and set default and fallback apps to be opened with.

Can't figure out how to change icon theme in nnn
The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.
