I'm all for shunning and making fun of reddit but this post is just kinda sad and pathetic. Have fun talking to a bot I guess.

If you're talking about pure TTY, the scroll-back feature was removed since Linux 5.9 due to being unmaintained. Here's the removal note.

- Thanks ! I could swear it used to be possible.
  
  I assumed that debian/proxmox were using a stripped down tty console to save memory on something rarely used.
  
  I did not realize this was part of the kernel.
  
  Not having scrollback makes the console much much worse in my opinion. A scrollback with unspecified glitching would have been way better than no scrollback at all, in those few cases where you actually have to use them all.
  
  I suspect all consoles will eventually be removed as they get more crippled and people use them even less.
  
  Why does it have to live in the kernel at all anyway !
  
  Chatgpt suggest trying KMSCON or systemd-consoled or FBTerm instead

  You can probably just use screen or xterm, it has scrolling and a whole lot of other features.

This is pathetic. Many of us here left reddit when it was clear the direction it was heading. You left because you were too toxic for even reddit. Good job. Now you're bragging about using ChatGPT instead, on Lemmy, which has communities that are designed for the question you asked ChatGPT.

Grow up.

- If I understand correctly, your beef with reddit is that they don't suppress enough voices ?

  I didn't enumerate my issues with reddit, and I don't intend to. That's a perfect example of a straw man, though.
  
  The only argument I'm making, and the only argument I care to talk about is that you're toxic.

- Careful, the taste of boot lingers a long time in the mouth

  Ah yes not being able to tell people to kill themselves is perfectly exemplary of a boot on your neck. /s
  
  Grow the fuck up

Setting aside whether or not you were banned from reddit for legitimate reasons:

I think this thread, funnily enough, demonstrates that feedback from a community of actual people who might care about a subject is AT LEAST as good as ChatGPT.

Across 2 separate comments you were given both a succinct explanation for why the problem exists, and an acceptable solution for you. And it took way fewer words than all of what you show of the ChatGPT output, which AFAICT gave you neither, at least not in all the text of your screenshot.

- Yes, human made answers are often better But you have to navigate the social landmine to get it I'm happy with AI's good enough answers if that means not having to do that. In particular having to self-repress and self-censor. I rather say what I have to say to a mindless robot than endure that again.

  What did you stop "self-repressing" about that got you suspended from reddit?
