ChatGPT is extremely good at generating both Python and Bash code. Of course the user must check what has been generated and verify it before running it or posting it on the web.

“Votes have the above effects and we should not ignore those effects.” This is the most important part of this answer and might be as well written in 72pt on every SE page. :P Seriously though, I fail to understand how an anonymous downvote without any further explanation would be more polite or friendly than a carefully worded, non-confrontational comment accompanying it.

I'd upvote 100 times if I could. Actually, we are lucky that Ask Ubuntu is really way above average in terms of friendliness and welcoming to new users. We rarely see high rep users patronizing newcomers, or finding every possible excuse to claim a valid answer is "not an answer". It is, in a sense, the opposite of Interpersonal SE (which I left after witnessing repeated bullying against me and other users).

@Seth not to play the designer's advocate here (I am a developer, after all, not a designer) but whitespace also makes sense sometimes. I know for sure that developers often tend to try and cover every pixel with something, forgetting to leave space so the content can breath. IMHO the bar is not that bad.

@muru but does that make it NAA automatically? Wouldn't it "simply" make it a "bad" answer? (in which case downvotes seem the way to handle it, as far as I understand)

@VladSpirin yeah, mine was just a joke. :) I browse Ask Ubuntu using macOS sometimes. :D

A Windows screenshot? So sad. :( :P

@dessert, that's not a need. :)

"better ways to emphasize" There is absolutely no need to emphasize a correctly type kbd tag.

@pipe links to external resources are generally OK provided that the answer summarizes their content (adding a link is also good so the Wayback Machine gets another chance to crawl it). Unfortunately APT links are not summarized, probably we should just point to apt://.

@jpaugh I am sorry, I am not quite sure I understand what you mean...
