Reminds me of that one episode where Mr. Spock figures out there's a problem with the computer because it loses at chess. And he knows it shouldn't lose at chess because he programmed it himself.

> if you want to render icons

...then you shouldn't be making a CLI app? I mean rendering and command line don't seem like they go well together.

It's like fan fiction: sneaking into theatre to watch a movie without paying for admission is illegal, but writing fan fiction about the movie and publishing it on AO3 is legal.

The following is completely off topic, but I was mildly bemused how the article ends:

> Reflecting on the evolving nature of street scams, one commenter noted, "People are becoming hesitant to help strangers on the street for a reason. It's a dangerous world, making people colder."

Yeah, I never contributed to FOSS to get credit; I contributed because I wanted something improved which I thought was not very good and thought that sharing the improvements with the world would be good (sharing is caring, after all). From a Free Software perspective, I actually quite like that Generative AI allows people to create the software they want and adapt it to their wants and needs. Free Software is about freedom, after all (free as in free speech). Unfortunate GAI tends to be quite resource intensive, which is bad; but local models are getting better all the time, so hopefully eventually anyone can run a GAI model on their own computer and have it create any and all software they want.

It's a bit like Bob Ross' Joy of Painting: if everyone can paint then anyone can make any painting they want to see.

No idea why you're being downvoted, your correction is correct.

> the last company in the industry that atleast tries to pretend they care about the consumer

Are you talking of underage gambling facilitator Valve? I suppose 'pretend' is a good choice of words there.

For modal editing there's also meow, god mode, and devil. Personally I quite dislike modal editing because of how you have to work very, very slowly and smash every key to make sure you don't accidentally do something like delete half the file, save, and quit; but I do have escape bound to god-local-mode for those rare times I need a long chain of chords. M-x some-command is usually good enough for me when I can't be bothered to memorise the chord, though.

When I read:

> What we've never seen is a unifying system that treated the TUI itself as the primary user experience.

I immediately thought 'this person has never heard of Emacs'. And my heart ached with pity.

No, it's not. C♯, with a sharp sign, is the sharp note. Exchanging the number sign for the sharp sign is like exchanging the Latin capital letter R for the Cyrillic capital letter Ya (Я).

Java. Fortran. C#, which in pronounced 'see sharp' despite being written with a number sign rather than a sharp. Algol.

Can't prove a negative. Proving 'it's an image of me' is as easy as holding the image next to your face. Proving 'it's not an image of you, but of a doppelganger' requires proof such a doppelganger exists.

Because people generally don't like having bits of millstone in their flour.
