you’re an optimist

The US economy is going TO THE MOON!! HODL!!!

… and you believe that it’s because they are a “CLI person” that they are unable to be honest. Because that’s a thing that a sane person would say.

Why is it so hard for CLI people to be honest?

Interesting if unseemly glimpse into your psyche.

See, in my mind, a CLI is a line buffer-based interface, whereas a TUI is an interactive character-based interface. sed or bash is CLI and vi or rogue is TUI.

The alternative to memorization is the analog to “hunt and peck typing” where you just search the whole fucking screen/program.

Yeah, that stopped being a factor decades ago. I now hate it just as much as any iPhone user. There are reasons beyond “I like how it makes my brain feel”.

It’s not a universal effect. Some dyslexics or people with related challenges like dysgraphia will find the CLI easier.

You are taking “replace Twitter” as an endorsement, when in reality it was intended as a condemnation.

There is another interpretation. Calm down.

Oh god, no, everyone hates Javascript, the most-used programming language in the world. Paradoxical but true.

Where I live, shopkeepers are obliged to use the posted prices if it advantages the consumer.

Yes. It’s fun. Fun is secondary to survival. When you have paid your bills, you are free to program for fun! Or, you can forsake your most marketable skill where you have spent the bulk of your character points and compromise your ability to survive for the sake of … fun.

Play is itself a means to an end. It makes you interested in doing things that you can learn from. Play can be rewarding in itself, but hedonism is a trap.

What are the concrete risks that you are afraid of happening as a result of these technical differences? I understand that they are not LITERALLY the same thing. I don’t see how the risk profile is significantly different.

Uploading an image of your face to the internet is a less specific action than uploading an image of your face to Facebook. But in the latter case (kind of moving the goal posts, but we can still discuss it), the horse is already out of the barn! You’ve already surrendered your actual social network, your interests, the most intimate things about yourself to Facebook, if only by your browsing habits. It seems dumb to worry about having images on Facebook, WHILE BEING AN ACTIVE USER OF FACEBOOK. Surely the latter is far worse.

I would advocate that no one use Facebook for anything. And not sweat it if their face appears on the Internet.

Care to elaborate? I’m not seeing whatever it is I’m meant to see that says it’s meaningfully different.
