Not OP. Used Linux since the late 90s. My daily driver is NixOS. GUI here is synonymous with TUI.

What about GUIs appeals to you over a command line?

I like the GUI because I can see what options the tool can execute in this state. I don’t have to pass --help to grep or keep several man page sections open. The machine knows what it’s capable of and I direct it.

With CLIs I feel like I’m always relearning tools. Even something as straightforward as ‘enable a flag’ has different syntax. Is it -flag? --flag? --enable-flag? Oh look, a checkbox.

Not to say that I think a window environment is best for all things. When using an IDE, I have the terminal open constantly. Programmers are as bad at visual interfaces as they are module interfaces. If no UX designer was involved in displaying complex data or situations, I’m likely to try to fall back to the commandline. Just that - when there are GUI tools I tend to prefer them over an equivalent CLI tool.

tl;dr GUIs can represent the current state of a complex process and provide relevant context, instead of requiring the user to model that information (with large error bars for quality of the UI).

Anyway, I hope you take this in good humor and at least consider a TUI for your next project.

It’s either hyperbole or you can double down.

Instead you look like a clown.

Lemmy has RSS feeds. Follow catalogues you like, subscribe to blogs when you like articles and the feed seems to have high signal to noise. I started with 6 feeds 2 months ago, now I subscribe to just under 90 different feeds of personal blogs, substacks, and media organizations.

Muting also works for RSS (depending on client). If a feed is generally good but posts a sponsored “deal of the day” in a way that can be filtered, you can add that to your filter.

Also, your local independent newspaper may have an RSS feed. Follow what’s going on in your neighborhood, not just online.
