Ummm... Do people not realize this is satire? ๐
Satire or not, it's still correct lol. Terminals and terminal emulation need to be destroyed. Modern systems with graphics and windowing systems are not VT100s and that's a good thing.
Or maybe terminal emulation needs to be brought up to speed with modern computing. New terminal specs and all that.
Nothing is better for remote computing and administration than a terminal. It's far too data data dense for anything to be competitive.
Nothing is better for quick and easy iteration of programming ideas than a quick text output in a terminal.
It doesn't need to be destroyed, it needs some iteration. It's an old technology with a lot of cruft.
Yeah, I agree. I should have been more clear lol. See my other comment.
