Not to be facious, but in simply asking this question you’re already beyond the scope of the people most GUI tools are designed for (I.e. novices who either don’t need this tool often enough to learn the CLI, or don’t need the advanced features you’d get from doing so).

I agree on CLI text editors. I get why they exist, but for most users they should be a last resort, not the primary instruction.
Instead of telling people to use Nano, just tell people to edit the .conf in a text editor and let them choose!
Many users won’t understand that what they’re being told to do with Nano is literally just edit a text document with a funky file extension, and that they don’t actually have to that it in CLI (in-fact it might even be easier not to if you’re not familiar with them).

Technology@piefed.social•HSBC blocks app users for having sideloaded [Bitwarden] password manager
6·23 days agoExactly. They’ll secure their app so deeply they might as well install rootkits onto your phone…
But for your data they’ll secure it with a crappy password policy, and over-a-decade out-of-date 2FA system.
The priority is so wrong its stupid. Securing the app instead of the actual fucking data.

News@lemmy.world•Her Parenting Time Was Restricted After a Positive Drug Test. By Federal Standards, It Would’ve Been Negative.
4·24 days agoI thought the standard test was 300ng/mL, and even that can give false positives if you’re a prolific enough poppy-seed eater.
Testing for less than 20ng/mL is begging for false positives to occur!

Honestly, I think consumers allowing manufacturers to start integrating screens into cars was a mistake.
Knobs and dials are way easier to nevigate blind (whilst focusing on the road like we’re meant to), and none of that stops you plugging in your own third party device for other features, or replacing the headboard yourself.
Giant tablets with complex menus are dangerous to drivers, and only serve to milk the consumer for things they already had access to in their car as standard not 10 years ago.
For now… I fear the day a competent Government tries its hand at the corruption game.

News@lemmy.world•Santa rounds up migrants for ICE in Trump administration’s Christmas-themed AI video
16·1 month agoI can’t help but feel like a real life Santa, who famously gives gifts to children of all creeds, would not side with ICE agents…
I think they’d all be on the naughty list, and he’d be pelting coal at them instead.



If anything in the stupid rumour-mill that is modern mainstream news can be true, can it please be that this AI bubble bursts in spectacular .COM style
