Terminal has plenty of convenience benefits over GUI as well. For example you can queue up long-running commands to go one after the other, something I didn’t realise how useful it was until I was using Linux full time.

I use this one all the time for archiving stuff and moving it from my PC to my file server. Tar archive a folder, generate a checksum, move the new files over to the server, and then delete the original folder:

tar -cvf folder.tar folder && cat folder.tar | sha256sum > folder.tar.sha256 && mv folder.tar folder.tar.sha256 /path/to/remote/file/server/ && rm -rf folder

The && part stops execution if there is any error so the folder is only deleted once everything else is done without issues.

Can’t do that with a GUI. Just make sure to proofread before you press enter.

Germans tend to be pretty heavy build too, pretty severe impact damage. Take cover.

Highly recommend reading the Red Deal, which is written by Indigenous socialists on what they think decolonisation should entail.

Also keep in mind that every Indigenous community has different views on colonialism and the land and sovereignty issue. Some really just want to be left alone on their historical territory, others actively want to work with non-Indigenous people living on and around their ancestral land, and everything in between with tons of nuance. There is no singular “Indigenous attitide” on this though there does tend to be similar schools of thought. The most important thing in decolonization is to listen to all of them and respect their wishes.

For those interested, native-land.ca is a collective project to map the ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples.
