Social medias thrive on engagement, and controversial content is king of engagement.

So social medias companies push content like Andrew Tate and co because it makes them money and they don’t care about anything else.

Young people are impressionable, and they get pushed that crap over and over.

If everyday of your life you get told that women are just baby factories, you will eventually start to believe it, some sooner than others.

Also: the big complaint about working with gov is either apparently expensive stuff and/or apparently slow progress .

And it isn’t different in the private sector. Except that there is less controls usually.

A few pockets here and there.

It makes sense. It is clearly to show to dumbfucks who voted for this how their dumbfuck decisions cost them.

Never tried it, but I will probably be more at home than python.

I prefer strongly typed languages. Using bytes isn’t intuitive.

Transforming certain data types into other data types is often not straightforward.

The identation is the worst though. Let me format the code however I want.

I just learned that in Python, it’s fucking terrible. Python is a fucking mess and my next script will be in a different language.

What a fucking leap. CLI does not equal complexity.

If you can write and read, you can use a CLI. Can you read and write? Great, you can learn CLI cmds.

People don’t want to use CLIs because unless you’ve been using computers before windows 95, chances are that all your life you’ve been using a GUI, and humans in general don’t like changes.

Going from Windows to any Linux distro is a big enough leap, and adding a new way to interact with your tool on top of that is too much at once for the vast majority of people.

With that said, a lot of Windows issues require you to use the CLI and mess with regedit to fix them. How is that any different than asking people to run a diagnostic command to troubleshoot their PC?

You can use a Linux distro through a GUI pretty much 99.9% of the time, just like Windows. The only difference is that on Linux, the CLI is much more powerful than the GUI, so the majority of users will use the CLI to troubleshoot.

Yeah, but regedit is a GUI. So it’s all cool and dandy.

I’d say that the nazi salute on live tv sealed the deal.

If it looks like a Nazi and squeak like a Nazi, it’s a fucking Nazi.

Who are you targeting with that message? Because what’s going on with the current US admin is straight out of the nazi playbook.

It feels like you are trying to get validation for your position.

I use it to generate a little function in a programming language I don’t know so that I can kickstart what I need to look for.

Were you drinking before posting this reply?

I much prefer using the terminal than the GUI if I can.

But I understand that not everyone likes the terminal.

To be fair, I couldn’t tell you how to run my file manager as root from the GUI because I don’t use it that much.

You don’t see how terrible Windows is until you’ve switched to another OS and need to interact with it again.

The constant pop-ups, the ads everywhere, the settings hidden away.

It really feels like your PC isn’t yours.

No please. Use a password manager with randomly generated usernames when possible.

Yeah and like anything getting big, here we are, Discord trying to go public and fuck everything over. The cow is fat enough to be milked then butchered until it’s nothing but bones and scraps.

It’s so long ago that my memory might fail me. Skype didn’t need a hosted server and that made it accessible.

Wasn’t Skype the best audio/video protocol at the time? Everything else around it was terrible, but I remember that skype was the only voice call software that worked well for me on shitty connection back in the day.

Is there a reason why the focus is always on books only?

I read technical documentation pretty much every day, I read technical blogposts every other day and news daily.

I read a lot, just not a book.
