This feels obvious to me but Im sharing it anyway. Im constantly surprised at how uneducated the under ~30 crowd is with stuff like this.

Seems obvious, it is not.

Surprising most people aren't willing or curious to learn. Help somebody solve a problem and they're not even interested in knowing how you solved it or how the problem occured. Even things to do with the most basic technology.

OMG

I don’t know what I’m looking at. Looks like a basic job posting. Am I supposed to have an x account so I can read the rest ?

Tldr.

The job posting looks legit but asks to open a command prompt and copy past some “text” into it.

Installs malware.

I thought nobody could be that dumb but… here we are.

🧡👊🏻🍻

Wow. I wonder if the text is sudo installmalware

I’m too stupid to understand this.

Dont ever open up a command prompt and paste “text” in there from an untrusted source.

It can install malware.

Creative zappers titles.

It’s not a statement you can generally follow though. More like, don’t do it if you don’t trust the site. Even better if you first download and take a quick look what you downloaded before running.

Plenty of legit programs have ‘curl’ or ‘wget’ based install instruction.

For example:

nvm

brew
