      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.
