I really don't think that the command line is a uniform interface. Every command has its own syntax, its own take on what its switches mean, its own take on regexes/globs and so on. Moving and editing files is something completely different: one is a simple command to move a file elsewhere, the other is a whole experience which replaces the command line with something that looks completely different and is controlled completely differently. What they do have in common is just the medium - the terminal.

Many developers of command line tools try to at least keep a similar design language as the rest of the world, but it is far from perfect. A lot of these interfaces are like they are for mostly historical reasons without proper planning of the user interface, so imho even something like Material Design is already closer to being the "same interface" in the GUI world than the various command line interfaces are.

we can’t simply reuse the command line

We absolutely can and some of us do. I often manage my files, todo list, etc. in Termux. Its not always the best thing to do, but I like that I can keep a consistent interface no matter what device I am using. Its still the same terminal, just on a smaller screen with a worse keyboard.

Im not sure how difficult it is to setup a Tailscale client, honestly.

The Zerotier setup is just installing and joining a network by an id. The Windows version has a bit of a GUI, where you have to right-click on a status bar icon, click Join network, paste in the id and join. The Linux version of the client has a cli, which is imho even better, as you can just send them a whole command to copy into the terminal.

I admin a Zerotier network for a bunch of kids that wanna play Minecraft, and they havent had many problems setting up.

There is a bunch of information on self-hosting the whole system, but Ive honestly never tried any of that. It was just nice that this was "just the open-source LogMeIn Hamachi with a superior implementation of everything".

Can confirm, very easy to setup clients. And since its not a VPN but a VLAN, you wont run into problems connecting between different clients.

This is pretty much open-source Hamachi.

Which LLM is that?

I mean, it might compress it (Im using Eternity on lemmy.world, no clue if images get compressed on federation or if my client chooses a lower quality).

That red color cant have much better contrast on a less compressed image tho.

I so want this to be true, but dont they produce radio waves?

And the red color on a somewhat-dark gray background with compression artifacts really does not help.

Which streaming service? I last used yt-dlp with the --live-from-start option on Youtube, it worked fine there.

Ive been using Yggdrasil to connect my devices. Unfortunately this doesnt autoconnect wifi, and doesnt have an IM app built for it. It does however allow you to use pretty much anything that uses a direct IPv6 connection, so its really useful to be able to ssh into my devices nearly whenever. Lately Ive been looking at Reticulum and the LXMF protocol built on top of it. I mostly just tried the Android Sideband app, but ran into battery usage issues.

Im not aware of any. Most clones have a very different architecture (and programming language, most clones dont run on the JVM) than Minecraft, even tho some projects go for feature parity and support the original Minecraft multiplayer protocol.

So, no licencing problem Im aware of, mods are free to be shared under whatever licence and many are FOSS, but a technical problem.

Im pretty sure it isnt internal.

!0 is shorter than true, !1 is shorter than false. You are looking at minified javascript.

Ok, so? As I said, Im ok with paying for an upgrade. I am not ok with an app not working offline when the only online functionality of it is license checking. I am not ok with an app not working not because the service it connects to changed their API, but because the developer of the app itself said so.

They dont degrade the service until you pay. They dont lock features behind a paywall, they dont have ads. They beg you to pay, they dont extort you. Why does it matter that they seem desperate?

Yes. I want my old version of an app that will never stop working when someone decides it should. Im ok with paying to upgrade, Im not ok with apps that needlessly need an internet connection and that stop working when someone shuts down their license server.

Cant they? Sure, they would have to make up new users instead of simply saying a number, but what is actually preventing that?
