    What if the person you’re helping has a different UI language? Or when buttons get hidden based on available screen space? Or when you need to get an older person to use a dropdown menu with hover and click options?

    Sure it’s doable, but it’s so much easier to just copy and paste a command. Of course, whenever I tell someone to do something like this, it comes with a lot of warnings about the shell. If they’re close enough I just tell them to never run a random command without consulting me first.

    If people actively realised someone can read all their chats, I’m sure these services would be far less popular.

    And here’s the autism slop because I can’t think of the proper term for “actively realising” and do not have the energy to make it readable anymore:
