You mean, like on Ubuntu?
Ubuntu really makes it hard to keep liking it. They keep pushing bullshit like snap.
I don't know about vim, but emacs does have a clippy package for real. You can even make it be useful if you try hard enough.
That almost makes me wanna switch but I enjoy fish too much....even if it's probably got issues above my level of use bc idk what I'm doing most of the time 😆

After each ads.
Y'all just need to get Terminal Pro for $16.99 a month for that sweet ad free experience
I have sl installed 
i could see that as a powershell "feature", which allows microsoft to sell adspace in the command line that reaches technicans and administrators
edit: fixed link
I was going to say, I’m surprised this isn’t a Windows 11 “feature”
cut them some slack, they can't put every annoyance into one version ... got to leave something for future "upgrades"
Maybe for the first time Ubuntu could get to sue them for infringing on their innovation.

DELET THIS
Doesn't npm have this already? I've definitely gotten requests for donations and various political messages when installing dependencies.
That's probably cause you or your packages use CoreJS. It's basically a one man project that's holding up the whole modern Internet infrastructure. You can look up the story online, but it was a pretty small donation request for a really relatable individual.

People who know how to use a terminal know how to block ads
This is the beuty of FOSS. I can add them myself, whenever I want to.
You better delete this, fuck you!
In my free time I develop ways for advertisers to reach as many platforms as possible. I hate ads as much as I hate people who say things like "just skip it if you don't like them" so I spend my time trying to fill every inch of their lives with ads as possible.
