    So when helping others, you prioritise how convenient it is for you to help them, rather than how effective that help will be for them ?

      I dont help them at all, i am here just trying to understand the people who help others. Also, do you want people to help or not? Do you help ppl? I think you should appreciate any help you can get. Even if it is the evil CLI help.

        Bad advice is worse than no advice.

        And I help people with tech problems all the time, and I do them the common bloody courtesy of tailoring my advice to their level of tech literacy. If you’re too lazy to do that, then you shouldn’t be offering your help in the first place.

            Yes, teaching people to paste random CLI commands they don’t understand from random ass internet comments is in fact worse than no advice at all.

            Just like telling someone how to fix their own home wiring is worse than no advice at all. It reinforces dangerous and bad practices that could lead to system damage or data loss. It takes one fucking typo in a CLI command, or a wrong root directory, to go from deleting one folder to wiping your entire system. People who don’t understand the commands they’re pasting, should avoid using the CLI as much as possible, completely if they can.

            And resorting to insults like that is pathetic, child like behaviour, and the sign of an insecure and intellectually dishonest mind.
