Sure. I just wouldn't expect to get particularly far with that strategy.

We're talking about a preference of which terminal emulator to use. Is there some larger social consequence that should be addressed this way?
Having openly genocidal racist attitudes are "dumb opinions" that are worthy of public challenge. Whether or not I want to use iTerm2 because they added LLM interfaces is probably not.
- whimsicalism 2y agoi feel like you are treating 'dumb' as synonymous with 'reprehensible'. worthy of public challenge? we're commenting on an internet forum. not using a terminal because it has added a feature that is opt-in seems silly to me, it doesn't have to be racist or genocidal to reach the threshold of 'worthy to comment on'
- paulmd 2y agoyou’re being silly on this just as much as you’re being silly about iterm yes, in the context of an internet discussion about iterm we can of course say that you’re being silly, even if genocide exists. Don’t be silly. not exactly like the front page of the NYT is discussing akira2501’s iterm stance instead of genocide, here, you’re just having an emotional tantrum over some random computer thing. people have just gotten silly over this whole thing, visceral emotional reaction is about right.
