I downvoted this via GUI. Using a touchscreen. Whatcha gonna do bout it?
Oh yeah? I'm gonna steal all ur megahertz by typing really fast!
Not if I unplug my monitor first.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

The unicode "three dots" character is making me irrationally angry. In the terminal, just use three dots!
I feel like this was written using chat gpt, or at least a cli version of it. The fact that it still uses "biomass" and the unicode dots is pretty weird.
I'm high school I attended a summer programming program where all of the computers we used were CLI Unix boxes. No GUI, no Windows XP. Just the command line and you. Learned quite a bit there, from basic C++ to very simple shell scripting.
I liked making my terminal environment black with lime green text a la The Matrix because it made me feel like a h4x0r.
Green on black is easy on the eyes. I used to rock an amber on black monitor on my
486/33486 DX 66 (I upgraded the CPU). It was full SCSI, coax networking, dial-up modem, and Red Hat (Halloween). The disc came with either a book or a magazine. It's been a minute.I still have the machine in storage. Fully wrapped in cellophane.
EDIT: When I finally shut her down, her final uptime was a little over 2300 days. We were moving so down she went.
The terminal is itself an application or GUI where the input is text. What you really want to do is enjoin your spinal cord nerves to the chip interconnect so that you communicate efficiently using just electrical activity or the change in voltages.
Daily driving a cli only linux distro is surprisingly feasible these days due to the resurgence of various TUI applications. I'm still not insane enough to do it myself tho
Web browsing is still kind of hard though. And games. But that’s because they are designed around graphics these days.
But for the rest of it, there’s a LOT of work I can get done on a nice terminal or three.
May I recommend "w3m"? Its an awesome text based browser. It even supports images if your not running in a pure tty.
neither the graphic user interface nor the text user interface are immortal, but the graphic user interface is slightly longer lived because visual indicators are not tied to language, which is constantly in flux.
bash and *nix commands are an absolute immemorable mess. powershell is the command line shell with the most staying power, due to its standardized commmand naming scheme. but the reality is, a 🗑️ symbol will keep its meaning for much longer than “rm” “del” or even “Remove-item”.

Core Unix commands have not changed since the 70s my guy. The syntax of modern
ls,taretc are still 1:1 compatible with versions that predate the invention of the concept of a GUI. Go 10 years back in GUI design back to 2014 and see how similar things are to today.The one exception to this is Powershell, which has the core Unix command names as aliases to the equivalent Powershell commands without any attempt to convert the flags between them. Microsoft really desperately wants to convert *nix programmers and sysadmins back to Windows, and they're failing spectacularly because no one wants to use a shell where
ls -lthrows an error.bash and *nix commands are an absolute immemorable mess.
that sounds like a skill issue.
"grep" is an English verb, change my mind.
Yeah I can never remember the syntax for a few commands, but surprise, those are the commands I don't use often. And the command line being standardized means that using a shell on a Mac (work) feels... basically the same as using one on my Linux home servers.
alias 🗑️='rm'ok what now
Ehm, as long as team-*nix doesn't uninvent the wastebasket :)
Nothing lasts forever, not two random letters that may have some meaning nor a weird emoji 🕳️

Jokes on you I use gui linux

So true
Took me a sec. I need to finish Boltgun…
