Yeah no. If I wanted to use a pager, I'd use a pager. I want the output visible on screen after I exit the pager. If I didn't want it on screen, I'd pipe it to a file and open that in a text editor. That will disappear when I

Microsoft was mostly on the Embrace step. They've reached the Extend step with Copilot. They'll eventually Extinguish grep. It's best not to use Microsoft products.

It's certainly relevant to the topic: notifications, and a claim of legal requirements. Legal requirements are useless without enforcement.
