abadideathis is how I feel when a program’s output is written like “I could not find the file” instead of “file not found”
Tachibana Kanade@0xabad1dea I wonder if earlier computer users had this complaint for all plain-text error messages that weren’t like “ERROR 54” that you then had to go and look up in the manual.
@h0m54r I don’t want the error to be uselessly terse. I just don’t want it yapping on like it’s a sentient being with ethical standing
@0xabad1dea Oh, I don’t disagree—sorry for derailing your point with a tangential hypothetical musing
