I have Gemini set to decipher HN comments that I don't immediately understand. This is a macos only command `pbcopy`?

Aside: Gemini mentioned it didn't want me to ask it questions about bikeshedding what shade of blue on a website header so I think it's got our number.

Though, if you have a preferred shade of blue, you can actually use it for the HN header in your user settings.

Yes pbcopy is a mac thing. On Linux, there are of course many different commands in different environments/distros. xsel, xclip, wl-clipboard, wlclip to name a few.

On windows, powershell has Get-Clipboard and Set-Clipboard, and cmd.exe has `wsl` to fix the issue of having used cmd.exe to begin with.

There's also clip(.exe) on every version of Windows I've bumped into recently.

On Linux I made a ~/bin/pbcopy that does the right thing because all the Linux commands are stupidly difficult to remember compared to "pbcopy".
