I’ve been doing the OverTheWire Bandit over the past couple of days and have become stuck on the earlier levels. I deem this very embarrassing as this is supposed to be an “easy” and “recommended for beginners” type of puzzle that requires hands on understanding of the Linux terminal. But I have been using Linux for 9 months now, I wouldn’t do the most complicated things (other than break my whole os) only the things required to make my overall user experience somewhat enjoyable. Now this makes me very sad to come to the conclusions that I may be below the average Linux beginner which I didn’t know was possible according to my knowledge. I am only asking of tips and tricks to these puzzles and maybe to positive reinforcement to make feel better about myself. Now I will not tolerate spoilers as in the official rules of OverTheWire clearly states, and I hope you will follow this rule for the better sake of my learning and understanding of the Linux terminal ( and for the sake of the game itself)
This isn’t a discussion about “entitlement”, but ease of use.
A user is not owed “ease of use” for every random thing on GitHub. It’s appreciated, but unless something is given in return for the software, it’s on the user to figure their shit out.
I’m not against helping users. If they’re civil, they should be addressed. But anyone coming with anger and entitlement, like the original meme, should absolutely be shown the door.
At the end of the day, GitHub is a developer platform. And release distribution is a feature to make the developer experience better. Take it or leave it.
I already covered this in the comment you just replied to.
This was also covered several comments up. If you don’t have anything new to present, I’ll bid you good day.
