    The thing about CLI is that everything is hidden by default. You come to the application with your own mindset and a goal in mind and you figure out how make it do what you want.
    When there’s a GUI, you often see everything that’s possible from the start and so the application dictates how you use it.

    Though, you can do either with CLI and GUI as well. That’s the sweet spot I think is the best. I love it when a CLI app guides the user through a process and gives options. And a good GUI should disable OK buttons and show validation errors if not everything is entered correctly.

    In a perfect world, every app has a CLI mode, interactive and non interactive and a GUI mode with full validation and responsive UI changes. But realistically, good UX is what we need, either GUI or CLI.









  • It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:

    • post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
    • another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
    • post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product creates an effective advertisment

    It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.

    I played GTA 5 on the 360. Retro my ass.

    But seriously, I have started considering this console as retro. Going back to 2006 and beyond is when I started looking at N64 as retro and GC/PS2/Xbox as ‘the old’. Now PS4/XBO is ‘the old’ and well… yeah… its been 20 years.

    I think just the fact that we’re playing some of the same games as we did on 360/PS4 is whats keeping it alive for longer and out of the retro light.





  • I mean yeah, I get that… but why would I believe that? Its trivial to add a label in an app and make it say that. I’m questioning trust here. My question should have rather been: why do people trust Meta will do exactly what they say? Its Meta, that immediately sends alarms to my brain saying to stay cautious. Like I said, there’s no way to verify what that piece of text says and the people who would be interested in e2e encryption are also that kind of people who should know what a trusted authority is.
