Any empath who has familiarity enough with it will acknowledge that, like any other thing you see externally, mistakes can be made. With empathy, those can go pretty deep, too.

That said, I’d no more discard empathy than I would vision, and I’m not fool enough to discard a sense just because I’m not always right about how I interpret it.

you’re not wrong.

No problem. It’s fake. No need to look deeper.

sorry, I just don’t relate.

KDE connect and/or Synching/Syncthing-fork.

I don’t think you’re ready for self-hosting, but getting these installed and sorted out will help you move along that path, plus it will meet your needs in the mean time.

Bit, as others have suggested, get familiar with networking a bit.

You might want to get a raspberry pi or cheap SBC with a good amount of memory and disk space, and fuck around for a bit, trying some things.

You think that preventing exposure to problematic concept prevents infection. you’re right, in the short term. But in the long term, you destroy collective immunity to the concept.

Let it live, fight it when you have to, but don’t think you can eradicate it. It’s to be learned from, not simply destroyed. Otherwise, the experience is wasted, only to be repeated by the next generation.

No, it won’t solve the problems you think it will. You are misidentifying the problem as being religion. …but the problem is human, and psychological in nature - and, because you can’t see that, you’re just as susceptible to it as any other sot out there, drunk on the idea that you’ve got this one weird trick that solves the issue, and doesn’t involve you sorting your own shit out.

yep. But nuance isn’t visceral enough to grab their attention, so they get owned by those who are nuanced enough to wield the generalized binary concepts.

Literally, a mind virus they can’t recognize - likely crafted intentionally by someone at some point. But even if not, the irony is that this kind of wholesale buy-in to binary concepts is exactly what causes the behaviors they despise in religion.

you’re just voicing another ideology that wants to exterminate others. Religion is your whipping boy, and you’re lying to yourself if you think that getting rid of religion fixes the problem.

no, they in no way implied that bad people shouldn’t be stopped.

exactly.

but everybody got their rocks off catharsis and the feeling was expressed - even though the reason for the feeling was never addressed.

I mean sure you can use the chaos to try and get cover for something specific. But generally, people rioting are on-tilt and looking for easy targets that look like their oppressors. Then, everybody gets catharsis and the riot disappears.

It’s just lazy. but, better than nothing, i guess.

rioting is not the answer. if you are going to take action, be careful and deliberate.

you can zoom.

snaps! hiss

Yes, ish. There are aspects of it that are really valuable, and fit some use cases extremely well. But, in some senses, yes. Like any DBMS, you’ve got to know it’s strengths and weaknesses. And if you do, there are definitely circumstances where you’d choose it over others. But not always.

This is kinda absolute BS at this point, though.

Mongo has acid transactions, and has for years now. Although this is only within the same database, there are plenty of dbms (including rdbms) that don’t support cross-database transactions.

Mongo also, since time immemorial, has had “write concern” to ensure that it’s written to disk (to the journal) before the transaction is completed.

Grow up. he did.

he has. people just prefer to go on judging. how you supposed to feel good about yourself if the people you hate for hating stopped hating?
