I only figured it out because I read your comment.

I'm here cautiously making sure it's a joke that I don't understand. Problem exists between keyboard and seat.

Not even that, it's not a problem at all. They're just saying that when you open a terminal program you get access to the shell. That is exactly the point of a terminal program. It's a bit like "exclusive, shocking report: water is wet!"

I mean, I guess part of the joke is if an attacker can get into your computer they can do nefarious things, but that's not as funny.
