You use terminal because you know what you are doing.

I use terminal because I want to feel like a hacker in a 90's movie.

We are not the same.

You use the terminal because you like the UX experience.

I use the terminal because the best IDE I can install on my work server is vim7.4.*

We are not the same.

*VHDL and SV. I can't install python for TerosHDL

I use the terminal only to install something I need

[-] ShellSurf@kbin.social 10 points 3 years ago

Terminal is even more impressive if used in full screen

[-] Seraph089@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 years ago

If you want impressive, you have 4-6 seperate terminal windows that take up the whole screen collectively. The laymen assume you're hacking the NSA or something if they see that.

Yes, I use PowerShell with garish colors. Yes, I have to Google every step. No,I don't understand the Microsoft docs.

[-] xthexder@programming.dev 9 points 3 years ago

To be fair, I used to work there, and not even Microsoft understands their docs.

[-] Hammerheart@programming.dev 3 points 3 years ago

Legitimately relieved it's not just a me problem

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 1 points 3 years ago

I thought it's the learns now?

[-] CaptainAlchemy@lemmy.one 9 points 3 years ago

Me when I run sudo pacman -Syu

[-] ozoned@beehaw.org 3 points 3 years ago

WHOA! SLOW DOWN with throwing out the mystical text! You wanna summon a demon right here?

[-] CaptainAlchemy@lemmy.one 3 points 3 years ago

We live dangerously around here >:)

Text scrolls past

[-] Somewhereunknown7351@kbin.social 9 points 3 years ago

You use the terminal

I use the Command Prompt

We are not the same

[-] jeff@programming.dev 9 points 3 years ago

You can do both with Windows Terminal!

[-] operetingushisutemu@feddit.de 1 points 3 years ago

Nice try, Bill.

People know what dropdown menus are called :O

[-] EricAux@kbin.social 5 points 3 years ago

Yeah, my mom would say "Where's all the stuff" to refer to buttons, drop-down menus, etc.

[-] PCChipsM922U@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago

Yeah, found the lack of knowledge of what their name is shocking as well.

[-] CausticFlames@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 years ago

"Yknow the uh, the.. um. The selection thingy."

[-] digitallyfree@kbin.social 5 points 3 years ago

That's so true as a Linux user in front of non-techies.

[-] tappyturtle@programming.dev 4 points 3 years ago

sees a monospaced font

omg is that hacking????!?!?!?!11

[-] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 3 points 3 years ago

It ain't hacking unless I've got a ski mask on.

[-] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 2 points 3 years ago

I've lost count of the amount of times my terminal has been referenced as being the matrix. Hasn't happened much since WFH though.
