Well today has been rich in boring dystopic news…

    So contrary to our dispositions, most people are afraid of CLI, REPL and other acronyms that exclude the possibility of mousey clickie and box go swoosh.

    This has lead to an industry of middle men, because people would rather pay someone to run a command line process than deal with the issue them selves.

    CLI should be taught at schools, like the new form of handwriting… also: handwriting.

      Not to disagree with you, but PKHex is not a CLI application. It relies heavily on a visual interface.

      The problem is not (necessarily) using the program, but loading the save files to it.

      Modding an OG switch is relatively simple but dangerous process if you do something wrong. Modding any modern switch is practically impossible to do as a normal individual.

      But once you have that it’s a dead simple process to do it, and just a little bit time consuming to gen and trade the mons

        I think you missed the point.

        What I’m saying is there’s a crapton of middlemen and the only reason they have a job is because some people are afraid to make an attempt, do some experimenting and generally going exploring. There’s also tech anxiety, tech fatigue, etc.

        But largely, if people weren’t so scared of learning new things, or conflating certain computer processes (i.e CLI) with something that’s overly complex (spoiler alert: it isn’t), and also not having learned basic computer sense (like copying data and working on the data), then a lot of people would lose their jobs.

        Also, who tf thinks Arch Linux is hard?! nano -w /root/Install.txt, a couple cups of coffee and you’re off to the races. Yes, that was another aside.
