The problem with the cli is you need to memorize a whole bunch of new words and syntax in order to do anything. You also need to memorize what not to do so you don't accidentally erase your system while using rm or cp or whatever.

Even something as simple as copying and pasting, which works the same in every single other program has new rules in the terminal. I mean, think about that. If you're just learning bash, then the first thing you'll be doing is copy pasting commands. But even that has the hurdle of 'oh, I guess this is the one program where ctrl-c means something else

Like, how do you look at sudo, cat, man, and apt, and think 'yeah that's intuitive'. And forget about multitasking, new users won't even know how to quit most programs (is it ctrl-q? Just q? Esc? Ctrl-c? Ctrl-d? Wait how do I undo that, is it ctrl-z? Wait where did the thing go

I've tried to run Ubuntu, mint, Debian, and couple other distros without the terminal to see if I can actually recommend it to non-geeks. And every time, I conclude I can't because the fucking "software center" (or whatever it's called) is always garbage, and it's easier to just use apt.

The only time I'll recommend Linux to a non-tech person is when the hardware is so old that it would just be junked without Linux.

Teddy wasnt just an imperialist, he was a part of the "progressive" movement. Which means he was an imperialist that also wanted the government to give nice things to white people

Yes, and in the script in the OP, wakko is genderless and nonbinary

Nah. Abed in Community is the best example of how you can have great representation for a group (autistic people) even if the character wasn't initially written with that trait in mind. He was initially just written as a character, not an autistic character. Animaniacs had plenty of gender fuckery going on that kids like me noticed in the 90s

Chicken nuggets shaped like dinos are a better example

It has its issues but the graph showing temperature/precipitation/wind can't be beat IMO. I try to use other apps, but wunderground is the only one where I can open it up and almost immediately have a good idea of the weather for the rest of the day and the rest of the week
