    You know, I think it’s kinda weird. Chatbots are all the hype and yet people hate terminals. Maybe we just need a very over-engineered terminal that insults your pitiful attempts at bash before they are cool again.

      I’m convinced the reason people hate terminals is because there must have been a disinformation campaign against them by the Microsoft sales department in the 90s.

      After that, even people who were comfortable with using BASIC on their 8-bit home micro-computers somehow became convinced they were too stupid to do anything without a mouse. Its Orwellian, honestly.

    PShaw, that’s how I had to do it. Slackware on floppy. Pre-internet search engine, one computer per household. No cellular data.

    windows -> Dial up -> look at some docs, take nodes -> reboot into Slackware -> mess with the console -> get stuck -> reboot into windows -> repeat

    I learned the most about linux back when stuff didn’t work right out of the box
