it’s easier if there’s plausible deniability.

if someone says linux is hard to learn, that person isn’t making regestry edits.

That said, windows used to be intuitive, but they peaked with xp and it’s been a downhill slide since.

i imagine a perfect world in which everything has guis and the guis contain all the information I could want about what it does including the relevant terminal commands. In this way, the gui is also the manual.

what they can do is burry the setting on the website and make it impossible to find. Or have it error out every time you try to change it.

If the GUI is good, then it’s self documenting.

so whatever happened to that lawsuit against valve for using skibidi assets in half life?

be me

do awesome work that is well done and makes perfect sense

derp shows up “Hey anon, what dipshit did this?” points at my work “This is stupid.”

I explain the what and why.

derp still thinks it’s wrong and stupid.

I finish my work, with time to spare.

Later, derp does the work. Takes him twice as long as it took me and it all looks like shit.

Derp leaves at the end of his day, the work isn’t actually done and I have to clean up after him.

I explain the above to Herp and Gerp, both think that Derp was right and I was wrong.

Anons, am I the stupid?
