It’s a sad time when the onion cannot compete with actual real news.

The solution is to provide housing, and whatever else help they need.

but then people who struggled to own a home would throw a fit about it, without connecting the dots on how they too were screwed over. They should receive help too.

Tax the rich, and there will be more than plenty resources to do this.

Empathy is a skill.

solution: a checkbox for “show advanced settings”.

also, sounds like i should try kde

a cluttered ui that works is better than a pretty ui that doesn’t.

i imagine a perfect world in which everything has guis and the guis contain all the information I could want about what it does including the relevant terminal commands. In this way, the gui is also the manual.

what they can do is burry the setting on the website and make it impossible to find. Or have it error out every time you try to change it.

If the GUI is good, then it’s self documenting.

I’ve got a new favorite quote: “I don’t need tutorials, I need verbose tooltips.” -Wonderbot

that would actually be aweful

I imagine a perfect world in which full guis exist for every setting, and in the tooltips for those settings you can find an explanation of the terminal command to also do the thing. In this way, the gui is the manual for the command line.

To quote Wonderbot: “I don’t need tutorials, I need verbose tooltips.”

ivy vs mint, deathbattle rules, who wins?

you could eat the mint

This thread has made it clear to me that I should wait another year before checking on gimp again.

anime style anything and gpt will stick a character in it

so whatever happened to that lawsuit against valve for using skibidi assets in half life?

wish i could take credit for it, stole the quote from a reddit comment from a few years ago. I’m sure the guy i stole it from stole it from someone else.

they tell a thousand lies in the time it takes to fact check one. We tell one lie, and suddenly every complaint we’ve ever held against them is invalidated because we’re liars.

I think it’s obvious how absurd this is.

Back in the day, I learned how to network winxp machines together, without a router, and without being able access the internet to find instructions, all because everything I needed to know about any given setting was in the gui where I could manipulate that setting. I had lan parties featuring dozens of pcs, all manually configured. Was this the correct way to do things? Fuck no, but it worked. I was able to make it work because I could see everything I needed to as I was doing it.

None of the above would have been possible if CLI was the only option.

be me

do awesome work that is well done and makes perfect sense

derp shows up “Hey anon, what dipshit did this?” points at my work “This is stupid.”

I explain the what and why.

derp still thinks it’s wrong and stupid.

I finish my work, with time to spare.

Later, derp does the work. Takes him twice as long as it took me and it all looks like shit.

Derp leaves at the end of his day, the work isn’t actually done and I have to clean up after him.

I explain the above to Herp and Gerp, both think that Derp was right and I was wrong.

Anons, am I the stupid?

Empathy is a skill and he doesn’t have it.
