5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

GUIs which I use as I am also stupid.
I disagree, GUI's are more visually appealing and allow for faster intake of the most important information (according to the designer) information. If it was all plain text I think the internet would be a terribly boring place to crawl through.
Yeah, using Lynx browser or BBSs is a neat novelty but would be super tedious if it were all like that.
...although maybe one could argue the way we present information would have taken that format into account, if it had stuck around longer? 🤔
Fair point I'm just speaking from terminal based interaction to GUI which was done for accessibility.
Yeah, because we were stupid back then lol. I still have some people swear to me that using a mouse is a crutch, but those are getting fewer and farther between
