Yeah, I don't see how this post would be good for networking. This is the not the kind of person you want to work with.

You are correct in principle, but Lemmy isn't on a blockchain. It's much less permanent.

The question is: do they even want to do the right thing? Look at Fetterman, for example. I don't think he's a coward. I think he's just wrong.

Catering to conservatives is what got us to this point.

I'm assuming you mean "evolution" in the colloquial sense, not the biological one.

I love fish, but I can see why POSIX purists would hate it. I haven't run into any problems, but if I need to use bash, I have it installed, too. The biggest problem is that it doesn't have wide adoption, so everybody assumes you're using bash, and a lot of the bash commands don't work in fish. So you have to be a bit of a power user if you want to do anything fancy.

Fortunately, Linux terminals are gorgeous and easy to use. I never wanted to use Windows' com because it was so ugly and user-hostile. I know Powershell is a thing now, but it still looks ugly to me.

Was gonna say, never had anyone tell me to use a GUI over CLI

Do you ever use the CLI, though?

[–] zarkanian 0 points 1 day ago

It isn't condescending. It's the easiest and simplest way to do a thing. Additionally, there's a wide variety in GUI options on Linux, so if I'm helping somebody out, I'm going to give the terminal commands. Not because I'm a terminal elitist or some nonsense, but because I know it will work regardless of whatever their GUI setup is. I might know where to go in KDE, but I don't know where it would be in GNOME or any other desktop environment I'm unfamiliar with. The terminal command is going to be the same for everybody, though.

How were you installing from the command line? Like, what commands were you using?

[–] zarkanian 2 points 1 day ago

You just need to know the name of the package you need to install.

On Garuda, you can enter the command in a terminal, and if isn't installed, it will search and give you a list of packages to install from.

"Dry" sarcasm doesn't use tone. Take a look at British sarcasm, for example.

A lot can be done with context and inference. It's how somebody can tell that an article is satire, even though there's no tone to listen to.
