     @nixCraft akshually 🤓 clock speed has hit a wall, and if you want 1TB of RAM, just get a decommissioned supercomputer node's rack! They are quite commodity-like nowadays.

     @nixCraft at the same time, everything related to standard tools is not bloated and works on both relatively weak and more powerful hardware

     @nixCraft I see me speaking in shell commands to a all powerful AI in a dystopian future...

     @nixCraft 2034: GUI of Windows 22 (really, really the last Windows version) is full of advertisements so CLI remains as the last resort of usability.

     @nixCraft It is because the command line is stable and does not change all the time. GUIs also generally lack consistency and modularity. It could be different in theory. i don't know why GUIs arre so bad and need to be change all time.

     @nixCraft 2024: These AI prompts are so useless, I'd rather just enter a shell script at the command line using "cat" or "echo!"

     @nixCraft Yeah, IF you have a good memory, which many users do not. GUIs are great for people with poor to average memories (also for people with little to no typing skills) but for some reason some geeky types think it is okay to make fun of GUI users, just because they presumably have great memories and can remember all those obscure terminal commands and their options (or don't mind spending hours reading and re-reading documentation). #unix #linux #macos #freebsd

     @nixCraft I am at the point where I almost feel like pushing use of the command line as the best/only way to use #Linux etc. is a form of discrimination against people with poor memories. It's kind of like saying the only correct mouse to use is one designed exclusively for right-handed people.
