Tending back to command lines

2025-04-24 17:49:54.001106+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Back in January of 2000, I observed that with the advent of search and "jump to" boxes on web pages, we were returning from the world of point and drool click to command-lines. So this seems pertinent: tante @tante@tldr.nettime.org

It is kinda funny. Terminal applications are always seen as too clunky and unwieldy for average non-nerds to use but that's exactly what chatbots are: Command line apps with unspecified parameters and outcomes.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
