It’a close. Isn’t it at 4% market share? That’s higher than Firefox.

If you have to tiptoe around to use it “correctly”, it doesn’t “just work”

Why would you recommend people make the effort to switch to Podman if you can’t name any benefits of doing so?

Fuck

Russia

They’re made by people who are wealthy

This is awesome! Portable identity management is one of the holy grails of federated services IMO, and this seems like an immediately usable Fediverse-applicable way to do it (as opposed to something like Solid Pods)

You can always tell they’re insane just by their eyes

Love this game!

Yup. Determinism doesn’t actually change anything-- but it tricks people into thinking it does by giving them permission to remove all meaning from the world. You can accomplish the same thing by believing in nihilism.

Plus, if I’m wrong it doesn’t really matter and I never could have been right at this point in my life anyway.

It’s kind of like the free will version of Pascal’s Wager, amazing

on a scale that’s grand enough to make the proverbial apple fall upward

Not necessarily. An apple teetering on the edge of a cliff requires no grand change in initial conditions to have two very different journeys. If “you” are a metaphysical entity capable of altering the signals in your physical brain, your brain could deterministically amplify and enact your will, like gravity does to the apple on the cliff. If you have a metaphysical existence, this is a pretty reasonable mechanism for it to work.

Why do people always stop one step too short?

If there is no free will, the concepts of justice, blame, etc. still survive funtionally intact. If “chemical you” commits a crime, “you” are only not responsible if “you” is a metaphysical entity separate from (and that cannot control) the chemical you. But there’s no evidence that “you” aren’t simply the “chemical you”, and therefore fully responsible for your crimes. If “you” are a metaphysical entity separate from the chemical you, then “you” do actually have free will.

This is only not true if the metaphysical you exists but cannot control the chemical you, which seems reasonable but like… you can move your arm right now, by willing it to be so. Either metaphysical you has free will, or your conscious experience is the chemical you. Either way, your conscious experience is either the same as or commands your physical form, and therefore is responsible for the actions that you take, and can be blamed and given justice.

No

I thought Linus didn’t come up with the name Linux

Wow, that’s more than I thought!

I mean his name is “Dr. Disrespect”, they pretty much got what they were there for
