    I said continuous vertical lines and literally posted a screenshot of it not being able to do it.

    But it’s literally doing that in your image. When a horizontal and vertical line cross the horizontal line breaks.

    No, it’s not. The human brain does not process dashed lines as easily as it does continuous lines. A whole bunch of dashed lines are objectively harder to follow than continuous ones.

    Oh, did you mean the points that represent actual commits? You’re arguing it’s trash because there’s no line between two adjacent commits? Really?

    You can think that’s not important, but the literal decades of UX research and attention to fine grained user interaction, can prove that you’re just flat out wrong.

    You’ve brought it up multiple times now so I think it’s time you also source that claim. Cmon, source the claim where the code editor with better visual fidelity increases productivity.

    Literally just go ahead and try and visualize a basuc cube with this base point and dimensions through a CLI and watch that wow, maybe a fucking typewriter interface isn’t the best for absolutely everything:

    Not only is this a stupid argument but it’s one that I’ve already addressed. Yes, terminal can’t do everything, but I don’t think anyone is using VS code to look at a cube either. Actually, I’m not even sure if there is a VS code extension that draws cubes? So you wouldn’t use VS code for that either. Just like someone using terminal for development would use a different tool to visualize a cube you’d do the same thing if you were using VS code for development. What the fuck are you even arguing here?

    I think you meant horizontal line because lazygit is drawing vertical lines. And if we were to get pedantic when to lines cross in vs code then one of them also breaks which means vs code also doesn’t have continuous lines. It’s functionally the same visual representation of data so you’re literally arguing over it not looking like you want it to look.

    Getting an automatic terminal window when you start up vs code is no different having two panes in tmux, one for VIM and once for terminal. You can get a visual project tree representation in VIM by using neotree plugin. Your git doesn’t need to look like that, you can use lazygit. The only things you can’t do within a terminal are reading the pdf or checking assets etc (but I personally wouldn’t look at those things within vs code either), everything else you can do just as easily within the terminal without it looking like the image you gave.

    I gave you the benefit of doubt by stating you don’t know how to set up a terminal environment. But if you’re going to be adamant about knowing what you’re talking about then you should also know you’re deliberately misrepresenting the alternative to make your arguments seem more valid.

    While I agree with your general idea that there shouldn’t be any dogmatic insistence that terminal environments are superior and everyone should use them. But the points you’re bringing up tell me that you don’t actually know how to use a terminal environment for development which makes your point equally as dogmatic as the terminal purists.


  • Yeah, I would always pick the law over the union. I once had an employer try to fuck me over the pettiest thing. they had incorrectly, probably deliberately, terminated my contract so that I was ineligible for unemployment benefits. They don’t pay that benefit and it takes them literally 5 minutes to fix it, so it pretty much would cost them nothing to make that change. But it meant the world for me because that would’ve been the only way for me to put food on the table. I argued with them for days and the entire time they’re gaslighting me with “You don’t know what you’re talking about, we did everything right. Nothing is wrong.” Eventually I got fed up. I told them “I don’t need to deal with this shit. Give me the official reason why you can’t change the reason for me termination. I’ll forward it to the labour office and you can deal with them.” literally the next thing they said was “fine, we’ll fix it.” and 5 minutes later it was done.

    I imagine a union would’ve also helped me in that scenario, but I enjoyed the safety of knowing I could stick the law in their face and tell them to eat shit. My opinion is that worker unions are great but labor laws are even better.



  • Because it’s largely irrelevant? If someone says “This is the best lock you can use on your front door” and someone else replies “not if you leave the key in the lock” do you think that’s a important thing to mention? No lock is safe if you leave the key in the lock. Maybe it’s important to remind people that you shouldn’t leave your key in the lock, but that statement says nothing about the security of the lock.

    Similarly maybe it’s important to remind people that their phones might already be rooted, but that statement says nothing about whether Signal is good or bad from a security point of view.

    Just a PSA, The Finals is playable on Linux and is F2P with a very reasonable monetization (cosmetic only with some free cosmetic options as well) and the new season just began.

    For me it scratches that multiplayer itch because the destructible environments make matches feel very dynamic.
