You realize South Park is a comedy, right?

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.

I don’t care how fast you can type, you can’t type faster than I can click.

If the GUI takes any time to load at all, it’s garbage.

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.

That’s unfortunate for you but really besides the point.

Because I have no other choice?

I can make a 20 click’s process in a gui be a single character command in the terminal.

If you can make it a single command in the terminal then you can make it a single click in a GUI and the GUI still wins…

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.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

No.

Use anything you want

This is literally never helpful advice.

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

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 don’t know what it is and don’t care. I’m tired of jumping through hoops just to install the software I need.

@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Well. That doesn’t solve this problem. But thank you.

Links from Twitter shouldn’t have any Facebook tracking info

That’s not what I’m saying.

helenslunch,

It removes the trackers from the ends of URLs

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.

Not helpful, thanks.

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.

No it’s not, you misread my statement. It’s regarding the type of link and not the site itself.
