Having a tui file picker in the pipeline can be a powerful technique. Sometimes it just makes sense to have an interface that is slightly more interactive than pre-selecting all the files makes the flow smoother. Being able to put that into a script/alias/whatever is nice.

Other CLI things benefit from this "have a minimal ui interface in the workflow for the one step where it makes sense".

A poet can't inform people of things?

Seems like a weird take. Poets, musicians and artists have a very long history of inspiring and contributing to movements. Some successful, some not successful. Sometimes heeded and other times ignored until it was too late. But to say being a poet is not trying to inform people is ignorant at best, and is a claim that will need evidence.

Sure, back in ye olde thymes. Things are different in the attention economy and messaging has to be crafted to the audience it serves.

Compaction doesn't lose snow. It loses air. This causes the pile of snow to shorten.

My ISP (AT&T) is a tier 1 transit provider.

> it is an RFC violation

I hate to break it to you, but RFC violations power the internet.

It's at an altitude of 8500+ ft - UV is much stronger and the sunburns can be bad if you're not prepared.

Hack the planet!

We have no names, man. No names. We are nameless.

The proper experience is to copy it onto an old VHS, worn out and a bit stretched in places. Play it for the umpteenth time on a 1980s VCR feeding a fuzzy old tv in the basement for background noise (and a killer sound track) as you beat your head against a crt monitor wondering why your code won't compile.

Bonus points if you pause to watch the movie and wonder "how have I seen this movie countless times and only just now noticed there's a 6th hacker in the 'main' crew?".

Who’s that? The girl laughing as they rack up the score and declare a tie, then we never see her again?

Or how about when you realize you never see Phreak again once he makes his call from the jail?

> The girl laughing as they rack up the score and declare a tie

Yes exactly.

Wouldn't celebrating hitler's birthday be good for his far-right bromance?

Whether or not they attempt rug pulls, or other slimy measures to extort money from entrenched users... this VC backed OSS startups have given us some nice things. People fork the permissively licensed code when the scumbuckets get too smelly and the company goes on to irrelevancy while people use the actually OSS version.
