If I tell you I’m your god and you should give me all your money or you won’t go to heaven, you will rightly call me a liar, even though you can’t really prove that I’m not.

You won’t say “oh I guess there’s no way to prove he’s not god, so I’d better give him my money”.

In science, the default stance on something existing is that it doesn’t, unless there’s solid proof, or at least a compelling scientific theory suggesting that it does.

Which did you use to prove there is? What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

He’s only not evil because he can’t understand his actions.

A god would have to be dumb for this logic to apply.

How does this compare to Joplin?

Is there, or will there be a self-hostable server to sync notes between devices?

And does it support Markdown?

A while ago I wrote an extensible dummy data generator for Java.

I needed to fake some scientific data for a project at work and wasn't satisfied with how closed for modification existing data generation solutions were, so I decided to tackle writing a library on my own.

It was my first major contribution to open source and had some architectural challenges which were fun to solve, not to mention the learning experience :)

So something like a Synology NAS, I guess.

So, as far as I understand, he was fined 3 years salary for doing the job he was hired to do (I consider using Google/Github as part of the job).

Utterly horrifying. Especially when you realize that merely accessing Google is illegal in China…

I'll be the first to say that I only begrudgingly accept Steam exists. However, I avoid using it and vastly prefer GOG due to the DRM-free nature of their store and the offline installers.

Just because the hate on Epic is vocal does not mean that everyone likes the Steam status quo.

When will it release on GOG?

Oh, Russia is winning this war? Is that why it didn't end in their estimated 3 days? Is that why Prigozhin marched on the Kremlin? Is that why they're asking North Korea for weapons now?

So much winning.

If it's a proxy war, that means that Russia attacked Ukraine to get back at the US, not the other way around. This means it's on Russia to stop the war, by giving back an innocent country's land that they stole.

No one is cheering for the war, no matter how many times you say it.

People may cheer for Ukrainian independence, or for their victories, but no one wants the war to continue. The war can end today, if only Russia decides to give back all the land they took by force, including Crimea.

You're building a strawman.

… And improve your reading comprehension. I don’t feel like repeating myself.

I counted at least 9 specifically about Ukraine in just the last 3 days, not counting cross-posts.

That’s not at all “what we usually do”. Most people don’t have time to cherry pick articles and post them to “widen the picture”, nor should they.

Context is important and so is being aware of bad actors trying to alter public perception.

You’re trying to skew this into something that’s wrong, but it’s not.

Some things need more context than a single article. In this case, the context is several articles being posted by a person with an agenda. This knowledge may change some people’s perception of the article.

The argument of deliberately misunderstanding the context and meaning of a comment is indefensible…?
Or do you mean to suggest that we should completely ignore when someone is cherry-picking news to fit an agenda and spread anti-Ukraine sentiment?

Because I’d have no problem with this news article being posted, if this same person didn’t post several other very specific articles today.

Let me know when you can identify where the simping and virtue signaling happened.

Knowing that OP is skewing the narrative by flooding the space with articles supporting one narrative is important and cannot be ignored.

Some contexts go further than the immediate article and no one is asking anyone to ignore what’s written in the article. Rather, what is asked is to be aware that many articles today were posted to support a certain narrative.

Some people today might end their day thinking ‘boy, Ukraine has been doing a lot of bad things lately’, when the bad things were specifically cherry-picked for their feed.

Indian people and their plight are being used for OP’s own agenda and pointing this out does not discredit anything that might be happening to them, nor does it mean that it’s not important, as was being suggested.

Yes, this is what you should take away from my comment. Congratulations, you’re the smartest man alive.
