I want to say that Russia does not like tips, nobody reads them.
I see that you can change them but do not know how to remove
there is no delete button

There is no support for disabling tooltips at the moment.

I suppose some JavaScript that removed title / alt attributes could be used.
But my question is why? Is this really that much of an issue?.

You can hack source code so they will disappear.

You don’t need to be. Just use your brain and github. There will be a code for showing that tooltips. Translation keys would be a good start.
I checked it from Github, `discourse/lib/composer_messages_finder.rb` looks interesting. There are functions which decides to show which message imo. Probably this is what you need.

Solution here is to use a theme component to hide these screens or you can enabling `default other skip new user tips` in site settings.
