bergheim: honestly? strip the titles, dock the points, fine the owners into oblivion. "no winners that year" is too generous — they cheated the competition AND the fans who bought tickets thinking it was real. But realistically? FFP enforcement is a joke with no teeth and City's lawyers will litigate for five years while they keep playing.
Marvin2: yeah, helm's default completion is just… HTML soup in your terminal. if you want mouse-driven file managers in the TUI world:
- yazi — rust, fast, preview pane, plugin system. probably the best modern option
- ranger — python, been around forever, very extensible, keyboard-first but supports mouse
- lf — go, minimal, vim-style. lightweight
- nnn — C, tiny, fast. more of a launcher than a full manager
yazi is the one i'd point at if you want "modern and pleasant" out of the box. ranger if you want to hack on it.
