So, as has been made clear both by myself and by others responding, there are tasks for which a GUI is absolutely essential, and tasks for which it is optional, and tasks for which it is actually sub-optimal.
This is perfectly normal, as far as I'm concerned. The question of which is "better" is a nonsensical question -- there is only "better for what".
So let's say you had to live without GUI programs for a year. Not that you or I will be doing this, but game it out with me. You can still technically have a GUI, as you can use X/Wayland, your choice of window manager, and your choice of terminal emulator, but all your actual applications must run in the terminal emulator.
Let's start with the hardest stuff: web stuff. There exist text-mode web browsers, but they really aren't that great. You can forget most modern web sites and web apps.
Mastodon or Bluesky? There are TUI apps for that, so at least you're covered there. Email? Lots of choices there. Pick a text editor you like, you're going to be using it a lot.
I don't know if you'd consider it cheating, but browsh is _insane_ as a console browser. It relies on Firefox under the covers, but I consider that acceptable, it's still text mode π
There is certain software I use for my job that only has a gui, but if there were text based equivalents, I could probably survive. I'm assuming TUIs count.
I'd have to really restrict the things I work on (heavy CAD user) but it would be livable. I did it for half a year with with a 1998 dell laptop with i386 dragonflybsd, no X even
well would you consider newer terminals that are compatible with or have their own version of libsixel as qualifying? I think a sixel based browser would be super cool while still being technically in the terminal ..
Back in the day, my 286 worked fine in text mode, the only thing that was really missing was multitasking (to not block the whole computer by one long running task). (S)VGA graphic looked better than text mode, but its only real advantage was that you could put more information on screen. OS/2's Workplace Shell actually made use of the graphic mode, but, long story short, the Unix command line is so powerful you could get almost all of WPS's benefits just by having several terminals open at the same time. So far, every Unix desktop I've seen is a downgrade from the command line. More convenient, but less powerful. Ever since I switched to Linux, I've always had several terminal windows open (which I never need in OS/2).
So, yeah, I'd survive. My only concern would be I'd like it too much. I'd probably switch to Emacs, though, finally learn LISP, and never touch a Unix desktop again.
Basically, anything that has to playback video or render 3D environments is the only thing I *need* a GUI for. I don't feel comfortable using it for creating partitions, but that's just because I'm scared of accidentally nuking my backup drive with a Linux installation again.
My main problem with UIs, especially web UIs, is the inconsistency.
Cases such as filling up a form with values and choices. Why does this take 800 different appearances and behaviors ? And I am not looking about personal choices for themes, which could always be on the user side (or even an option offered by a site).
The site owner in the end wants a JSON + validated fields. I want my browser to open my local data-entry window and give me consistency. I should have my own native data entry tool that just sends back the JSON according to requirements.

what? if this petition would reduce the amount of rich people instead of just taxing them i would answer: society. or professional factory builders who earn the same money as the fabric workers.
But nobody would do it then. First, you need a concentration of capital to build the factory, this isn't a function of how much the builders are paid, it's a function of the cost of land, the engineering, the materials acquisition. Second, if you can get the same pay for flipping burgers as someone who goes to college for 8-12 years to learn a really complex subject, why would anyone do that? Communism didn't work. History is packed with it's failures and not a single success.
sounds like you are wrong and that could easily be done. you don't even would need "communism" to do it. but as i already said: thats not the target of this petition so this is off topic here.

Do you think if a Indian person saw a White person pooping on the street and bowing down to a statue of a hindu god that they would promote that White person in a Hindu or Indian infiltrated corporation
Also would this explain the stories about Elites doing grotesque rituals
Are they trying to fit in with the Hindus or Indians who have poop throwing religious ceremonies and similar things

@shortstories If you want to get right down to it, we all appear to have a relationship with each other, every form of life, every animal, plant, single celled organism, there are some genes such as those having to do with energy production or transcribing DNA to RNA, these things are common to almost if not all life forms. At some point when there is enough genetic drift, it is no longer possible to line up chromosomes and form a new organism, too many pair mismatches. Australian Aborigines are the only human beings on Earth that we know have some difficulty reproducing with other humans, and even for them it is not impossible, but this comes from 40,000 years of genetic isolation. In addition every modern human language in existence can be traced back to a common language in Africa. So yea regardless of what racists say we are the same species. And as much genetic variability that there APPEARS to be within human beings, it is actually much less than that of many other species because humans went through a genetic bottleneck between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago in which there were believed to be fewer than 1000 individuals world-wide.

People have tried to claim that both Hinduism and Judaism are ethnocentric religions but I would suggest that Hindu's are not trying to prevent White or Black or SouthEast Asian or Hispanic people from practicing Hinduism but instead people from these other ethnic groups simply for the most part are not interested in becoming Hindus, some are interested in Yoga but for the most part they are not interested in setting up a Statue to a Hindu deity and performing rituals
@shortstories My is whatever God created everything or is everything if you're more of the pan-psychism bent is the same God for all of us, whatever name we give him/her/it, whatever figures we imagine to be God's form, and whatever silly rituals we might partake in, none of these things are relevant.
@shortstories @ToxicFemininity I don't want to worship white people's idols, any idols, statues are inanimate, no spirit in them. I think gratitude and love are more important than worship. Do you want your children to worship or to love you? The former only if you were extremely egotistical, I don't think God in whatever form it exists is egotistical. Granted, some people, through their actions, make that very challenging.
@ToxicFemininity @shortstories Well there are Jews and then there are Ashkenazi that call themselves Jews. I am personally convinced that a gene for psychopathy is common to Ashkenazi.
@ToxicFemininity @shortstories Sure it is, YOU BELIEVE THAT NOTHING SUPERIOR TO YOURSELF EXISTS, which is at least as unprovable as believing in a God.
@MountainJay I think it's relatively easy, if you've baked bread/dinner rolls before. Roll the dough into balls, pierce the middle with your thumb and work them into shape, then drop into a boiling honey/malt water bath. There's good resources (e.g. king arthur) for cooking them the first time.

Ive run into chefs who are obsessed with evenly sprinkling spice over food.
I think that is a huge mistake. You want some variation on the amount of spice on say a fish filet that you are broiling. Not a completely even layer over the entire fish. For one thing the fish itself has a thicker central area of the filet which tapers off towards the sides (upper and lower fish).
But just looking at the shirmp here. Some variation in the amount of spice on each shrimp gives a variety of flavor combos. Those with less basil and thyme, allow the butter, lemon and garlic to step forward...not to forget the mild flavor of the shrimp itself.

In Central Alabama, we get daily trucks up from Mobile with fresh shrimp on ice. It's not as good as eating shrimp on the coast, but it's still pretty damn good.
I buy frozen bags of shrimp, too, but I always, always check the label and make sure it's not from India or China. I only buy the frozen gulf shrimp or the wild caught Argentinian shrimp. They charge about 5-10 bucks extra per bag to not include Indian poo. Money well spent.
I've been wanting to visit Bayou La Batre for a while because there's a weird Soviet mini submarine that ended up there for some reason, and you can see it from the highway that goes into town.
Bayou La Batre is more or less the inspiration for Greenbow, Alabama from Forrest Gump. There are shrimp boats lined up in the bayou and several fish markets where you can buy fresh seafood. I'm planning to take my mini fridge with me when I go and come back loaded down, and put on a feast.
I found out AFTER I moved away from Florida that state residents are allowed to harvest some ridiculous amount of fresh shrimp without a permit, like 2 gallons per person per day. You can just put out a cast net with a punctured can of cat food and they'll flock to it, then you pull the net up.
There ain't nothing like fresh, just came out of the water and got its little head popped off shrimp.

The Russians aren't impressed with Trump's threats. One half expects the idiot president to start accusing the Russians of election interference. He may as well do so, since this is MAGA's war now. Trump owns this war now, the fucking moron. He has let Joe Biden, Tony Blinken and the other idiot, Jake Sullivan, running the last administration, off the hook. He's as senile as Biden, which makes him analogous to Biden 2.0.
Trump thinks that his base is made up of pure fools, if he does, he may be right about that. He made promises that the taraffs were his plan to abolish the income tax, as if anyone with IQ's above room temperature, would believe that. However, it seems that his tariffs are actually a way for the US to keep financing her forever wars.

Russiaβs natural resource wealth and new role in accelerating multipolar processes incentivize the West to continue its Hybrid War on Russia even in the event of peace in Ukraine.

Thatβs why theyβre expected to refine their ongoing Hybrid War on Russia in the coming future through the following three means.

White Rice is one of the things that I just couldnt give up. I found this higher protein white rice which was bred by Louisiana State University and is being grown in Louisiana for commercial sale as Parish Rice.
It's still not the healthiest choice in the world but the higher protein content reduces the glycemic index of white rice (processed high starch) from like 60-70 down to mid 40s. And put white rice back on the table from time to time for a nice treat, for me, for stir frys and red beans n rice, ettoufe, Charleston red rice and so on and so forth.
