True, and ICE cars don’t need to use brakes on long hills either. Use your transmission; that’s why they put those manual shift features into the car

The developers aren’t in charge of what’s in the game, the PMs and accountants are

what “crazy pills” are you taking?

1. Hear people praise SyncThing
2. Open the Play Store by depressing the tip of my finger on its icon
3. Search “SyncThing”
4. Click on first result
5. Press “Install”
6. It doesn’t work

Ok awesome, thank you. I’ll try it out. I was not aware of the discrepancy with the Play Store version

Yes. Enjoy 30 minutes of unhinged (but logical and highly enjoyable) ranting about this, if you care to:

What is this SyncThing fork? Is it on F-Droid or something? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills because everyone praises SyncThing but it straight up does not work. I can get it to sync once, then the next day it will just not connect at all (Android 15 P9Pro/CachyOS)

Bite bite pass

You can only use these substitutes to make French omelette

It really is. And such a stupid fucking thing to try and be pedantic about

Well yes it has to be like that, so they can stack. Stupid measuring cups though, I hate useless cooking gimmicks like this

The “hallucination” is not a bug that will be fixed; it’s a fundamental flaw in how it works.

You’re not wrong that it’s a flaw. But also, fundamentally… it’s actually the main feature! That’s actually how it can even do anything. The flaw is baked into the core product.

Well, understandable. It’s one line out of a book, out of context. What he means is that no metaphysical nonsense actually matters, if it doesn’t have real-world consequences. I.e. someone can claim Russell’s Teapot actually exists, and rest of us can just ignore them because it’s untestable and inconsequential.

This has made very many philosophers very angry, but I don’t expect anyone who’s not interested in philosophy to care.

That’s my strategy when playing poker too. Just all-in pre-deal every time. It works for me and I never lose any money, because I don’t play poker

Sure:

It appears, then, that the rule for attaining the third grade of clearness of apprehension is as follows: Consider what effects, that might conceivably have practical bearings, we conceive the object of our conception to have. Then, our conception of these effects is the whole of our conception of the object.

– C. S. Peirce

It can’t hold up in court. It ultimately does not matter whether someone is compelled to do evil, or chooses to do evil. Society must be protected in either case

I agree. But then I am a pragmatist, which tends to make people extremely mad

The forbidden knowledge is to butter the saltines like toast

I’m excited to bring you news of grapes that are easy to fork

It’s definitely much better than, like, supermarket butter. I usually don’t buy it because of the price, but if I had infinite money I would absolutely get it. I recommend trying it

Damn, this guy went super hard.

I, through intelligence

Only hope that the baby will prove

Ignorant and stupid.

Then he’ll be happy all his days

And grow into a cabinet minister.
