  • I think that’s slightly critical of Damaris.

    They are asking a question regarding something they do not understand.

    It is a true statement that roads are used to transport goods and services.

    They then simply ask who in the video is carrying goods and products into stores/homes, and how workers move goods from ports to the stores.

    They don’t know how a system like this works when it comes to, for example, stocking a grocery store, because they have not worked or lived in a place with infrastructure like this.

    It’s just ad hominem and poor practice to call someone blind when they aren’t familiar with something, particularly when they seem interested in how it works, and works contrary to convincing people of the cause.

    If someone has worked with punch cards to program a computer all their life, and someone showed them software written the python programming language and they said:

    “But the punch card is so that the computer can read in bytes to know what to do, in this text I don’t see any bytes, there’s nothing telling the computer if this is little endian or big endian, it all looks like a book. How does the text tell the computer what to do?”

    Then my response would NOT be “Well the list comprehension here is yielding a range of numbers which are sent to the print function, and this class is acting as a signal handler. Aside from punch card brained, you’re also blind”.

    My response would be a very happy opportunity to explain to them the benefits of a modern programming language versus punch cards, and how it works in comparison.

    Unless this is a person known to be explicitly anti-bike and pro-car, it is bad to be this critical of them and works in no one’s favor.


  • You might also be interested in cron/crontab. You can schedule scripts/software to run at specific times of day, week, month, year etc.

    Also if you want to learn more about the linux command line, three super useful commands for you are ‘man’, ‘help’ and ‘apropos’.

    man followed by a command, like ‘man find’ will show you the manual pages for the command ‘find’, showing you how to use it.

    In some cases man wont work for some commands, in those cases try ‘help theCommandThatDidntWorkWithMan’.

    apropos followed by a query like ‘apropos network’ will show you any commands that have ‘network’ in their short description to help you find commands that you might want to use for something.


















  • Ehhh, I think its probably code for

    "We want to try to convince you that this was unintentional and not a calculated business decision that was made with the objective of profit at your expense.

    We want you to believe that our multi-billion dollar company did not foresee this even though we have hundreds, if not thousands, of business analysts who work for us globally who definitely suggested this was a possibility in the first 10 minutes of account linking on PC after 4 months being suggested internally.

    Also our PR people probably suggested it as a possibility.

    Also our legal team probably suggested it as a possibility.

    But even though we analyze the industry and the market and the users, and the business, and the case studies, and the marketing, and the games constantly, not stop, day and night, globally; please believe us that we are still trying to learn whats best for PC teehee.

    In the future, we will be sure to try to force you into account linking from the beginning with any future release.

    Please ignore our transgressions and instead give us money. Goodbye"
