Downloading Microsoft Edge Webview2
And then another dialog that's mostly the same except with two funny little unicode boxes

Super Mario Strikers. Dolphin Emulator. The goal is to make the in-game "infinite power ups" cheat actually infinite.
In Super Mario Strikers, power ups are given in 3 situations:

| # vim:set et sw=2 ts=2: | |
| # estimate space actually used by snapshots of a dataset | |

| #!/usr/bin/env bash | |
| # vim: set et ts=2 sw=2: | |
| # changes: run through shellcheck, fixing several bugs | |
| set -euo pipefail | |
| HERE="$(realpath "$1")" | |
| if findmnt --noheadings --output FSTYPE --target "$HERE" | grep -Pq '^zfs$'; then | |

Sensei, the haskell test runner, is marked as broken in nixpkgs. The build must be failing. But why?
Build it. It's broken, and because flake registry points to master by default, specify github branch so I don't download an extra 3 GB just getting newer coreutils. The --impure is so nix recognizes the envvar, as it's an "impure" input.
NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1 nix build --impure 'github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable#haskellPackages.sensei'
Fails 13 examples. All of them mention posix_spawnp. Example:
