Not really going to justify my usage but suffice it to say my business is largely dependent on networking with the people who are active on social media.
Twitter and Reddit I am “read only” via Stealth and Squawker.
These are not tracking links in the conventional sense where they append tracking data to the legitimate link. They just hijack the link that someone else posts and replace it with an entirely new tracking link with a l.facebook.com domain.
No link cleaning software I have found works because of this.
You realize your computer won’t work without scripts, don’t you?
No, I don’t. In fact every Windows, Android or Mac computer I’ve used in my entire life works perfectly fine without manually running any scripts at all.
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.
