It’s weird though. One of the accounts I tagged has just become more and more reasonable and I feel like. Idk. They certainly weren’t all bad or deceptive people – and being mean to and about them won’t really help them figure it out … OTOH fuck ppl who do stupid shit because they’re too proud to accept inherent complicity in the evils of the lesser.

I misread the spine of a book when I was 10 and looking for my first username. George Eliot is fucking phenomenal though and no regregts.

I tagged loads of accounts at the time, thinking they were just bots or plants, but a couple are still around and now I think maybe they’re just well-meaning morons who couldn’t quite figure out the implications…

What’s even cracrazier is knowing that with modernerer technology they have the same ethical assumptions as previously but with more targets and less precision!

I’d disagree with that argument and draw an analogy with the short reactive pathways triggered by e.g. that thing where you tap a knee with a hammer and it jerks; I don’t think the reaction loop there counts as a sense, and only when you add in the CNS and perception of it does it even connect to one. But it’s hardly a cut’n’dried argument and I’m sure there’s a lot left to plausibly disagree on here

It was a pretty funny comment you made on the article, but like obvs the wrong place to post it lol

What’s a tree’s brain in this analogy?

Ok fair, sorry for being snappy, I think fusion is cool and probably pretty close these days and get a bit defensive when I feel I’m misrepresented.

Wow, that’s not my attitude at all, I said ‘not there yet’, I’m sorry you can’t read bro

Fusion power ain’t there yet though, bad example?

Philosophy is in entirely the wrong place for some reason. Should be slightly to the right of maths.

The downvotes are probably because of the annoying thorn usage. It’s disruptive to reading and a gratuitous irritant to discover in what’s otherwise a perfectly cromulent post

Halfway to a great comment there but it fizzled out a bit

I had issues yesterday getting an aur package of scratchjr as a desktop electron app from 2021 running on my daughter’s laptop. Worked fine when I tested it on mine, so not sure what the issue is there. Means she can only use it on the website with an internet connection for now, which is not the ideal flow from my perspective.

Other than that, pretty great, no notes.

Edit: I was missing the libxss dependency. A fact that was immediately obvious from journalctl. Working now.

testregex is an absolutely wild suffix

I took this in the spirit that there isn’t a single MIT license, so you’re correct, but more gooder would’ve been to mention the specific variant that was in use by the project

I remember being able to play fairly old games with 'run in compatibility mode for ‘98’ or something (a right-click menu item maybe?), so guess we have different recollections there

Microsoft windows has historically had pretty great backwards compatibility compared to macos, android or iOS; and pretty great device compatibility compared to basically everything.

True but sometimes I think ‘is it strictly necessary here?’ or am physically around children and unconsciously self-censor. I swear when I want to, I asterisk when I want to.
