If you look at the numbers, the % growth in terminal multiplexers in the last hundred years has been absolutely staggering. Way more than just a fad!

(I love tmux)

where do you get those numbers, boss?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I make them in a factory. I buy the raw bits at a bulk discount, and then workers assemble them into numbers by hand. Then we export them to people who need manufactured data, like elementary schools and consulting companies in North America.

It's not super exciting, but it's a living.

Or, more importantly: does it matter?

Ummm... Do people not realize this is satire? 😅

It's very poorly done

Satire or not, it's still correct lol. Terminals and terminal emulation need to be destroyed. Modern systems with graphics and windowing systems are not VT100s and that's a good thing.

Ummm.... Nope. You'll pry my terminal from my cold, dead hands. There's no faster way to get many system tasks done than the command line.

I use GUIs all day, but there's almost always at least one terminal open on screen because that's where the real work gets done.
