    But then the CLI wouldn’t be faster anymore and the whole argument most people keep bringing up falls apart.

    It is much faster for the one giving the answer. Also, the looking up the man page is something you only do the first time. With the gui the user should also verify before blindly following instructions, but it is usually harder to find proper documentation of gui features than cli commands.

    Also those man pages aren’t even remotely written to be understandable by Linux novices most of the time…

    That is a fair point. They are dense, technical and at times pretty hard to read. But when a novice asks for help they are always going to either trust blindly or verify. Verifying can be a difficult task for a novice no matter if gui or cli is suggested. I do think most novices would trust the gui way more and feel more in control of it, even if they are basically doing the same thing.

    Introversion isn’t an example of neurodivertion, but I suspect there is a large overlap. Many types of neurodivergence make social situations require more energy to be in, which I reason might cause an increased likelihood of being introverted.



  • It’s probably not, but let’s say that replying to a comment deep in a thread required an update to every parent comment (very unlikely), if the attackers knows this they could trigger that very expensive SQL query many times very quickly by letting some bots comment many times to create a very deep comment chain and force the server to make the queries. If the server didn’t, it would either mean that no one could comment in that way it would have to know what is and isn’t an attack which isn’t easy.
