helenslunch, to linux in Why do you use the terminal?

How can it not be true though?

How can it? It’s very simple, it takes far less time to click a mouse than it does to type a command.

Imagine doing this in a GUI: list the files in a large directory, ignore the ones with underscores in them, find the biggest file, read the last 1000 lines from it and count the number of lines containing a particular string.

Okay. I’m imagining it, it’s incredibly easy. What else?

Thats a couple of pretty straightforward commands in a terminal, could take 30s for an experienced terminal user. Or the same task could take many minutes of manual effort stuffing round with multiple GUI applications.

My guy, you’ve never used a file explorer?

I have no idea how GUI users can be even remotely productive.

Back at ya

There’s no way that’s true unless the GUI is straight garbage.

Because I have no other choice?

You can’t install them at all

Okay well. I don’t have a script. I just use a computer.

If I need a script to make it work properly, it sucks.

I didn’t know that. But that’s sort of the problem. As a paying user, I shouldn’t have to go searching through my settings to disable it. They do the same shit with user signatures.

There is no “religious cult”. Just users who want a better experience.

Use anything you want

This is literally never helpful advice.

They still put unremovable ads in your inbox when you buy premium. They’re fairly subtle but still incredibly frustrating.

I mean that’s fair but it doesn’t make what I said “bullshit”

Interesting, my understanding is that they should appear on PeerTube but maybe they have disabled that.

like i’ve seen mastodon users’ comments here

You simply follow the Lemmy community (displayed as “groups”) on Mastodon.

and lemming comments on peertube

Just follow the PeerTube channels (displayed as “communities”) on Lemmy. As seen in the OP.

am still figuring out how i get on the other platforms from here

Not sure what you mean by that. You can’t log into a Mastodon server with a Lemmy account. And I don’t think you can follow a Mastodon user from Lemmy. They’re just designed to be separate, for good reason.

is this community the Peertube channel?

Lemmy “communities”, PeerTube “channels”, Mobilizon “Groups”, Kbin “magazines”, and Mastodon “Groups” are all functionally the same thing in the Fedi.

You can follow Lemmy communities on Mastodon as well, it just has a different (bad) UI. That’s why you’ll occasionally see users on Lemmy annoyingly @ 12 people in a reply.

He has a podcast as well, if you’re into that. He actually just interviewed the CEO of Proton Privacy.
