Something poetic about how spellcheck has no idea what to do whenever I misspell 'bureaucracy.'

Sometimes I think about Wikipedia, and what they're trying to do, and what they could be, and compare their budget with the funding for LLM slop machines, and it drives me a little insane. We tried to build a library of Alexandria that would not burn, then tried a library of babel for profit.

I'd argue this is less about the terminal and more about the need to manually duct tape parts of the OS when things break/don't work how you want. That hardly ever happens these days (though it *does* still sometimes happen).
Terminal is objectively superior as an expert UI though.

Here's a cool thing for tech-savvy linux nerds:
How often do you *have* to actually use your terminal for something linux related. How often does your OS actually make you have to do something in the terminal.
Not whether you use the terminal, but whether it is voluntary or involuntary.
