Reading about the Tulsa race massacre is so crazy, like World War 1 planes, some say up to 12, others at least 8 of them doing stuff like: ".. turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs being dropped and men shooting from planes". Some also suspect the use of dynamite, so it's possible they were quite literally dropping bombs.
I don't mind using the terminal, but how the fuck am I going to remember something like kwriteconfig6 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot false? (In fact, there aren't even man pages for that command). Like the scribbles of a mad man I've had to put down commands like that in a sort of personal instructions manual, because ain't no way I'll remember these commands by heart.
And you often end up just saving the most used commands as aliases or functions in the .bashrc meaning you don't retain the syntax for the commands you use. Well, maybe I'm a unique case of fish memory..
The thing about humans is that we greatly rely on our vision, and having GUI's to show what's possible greatly improve ones understanding of how to manage it going forward.
Who was the lady that was deaf and blind, and famously overcame those?
Might be Helen Keller, very famous deafblind activist. A quote from wikipedia kind of shows how hard communicating when senses are limited:
The next month, Keller made a breakthrough, when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of "water". Writing in her autobiography, The Story of My Life, Keller recalled the moment:
I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgottenβa thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that w-a-t-e-r meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, set it free!
Just last week I was looking up ADHD and autism in blind people, but I was also questioning whether blind people could have aphantasia. Or rather, how does blind people perceive roundness or a circle in their mind? They know what it feels like at least, so is it tied to some other sense? I'm guessing blind people have a way of mapping out surroundings and 3D space, but I imagine explaining how a person thinks about stuff like this is as hard to describe as whether two people perceive the same colours the same way.
"Bloody Just Stop Oil protesters blocking the road, preventing me to go to work just so they can spread the message that we're all going to die! I HAVE A MORTGAGE!"
Who am I to say that one can make a file in the home folder called .XCompose where you can easily input emoticons for easy access using the compose key Β―( Ν‘Β° ΝΚ Ν‘Β°)/Β―
Makes sense, they don't want to be pointed out from a lineup for just following orders.
