I thought land of the free and home of the brave was Scotland

One huge advantage of a rolling distro is that generally only one thing can break at a time :)

It was a good thread here too: https://lemmy.world/post/43447694

I guess the nature of the fediverse means that some post duplication is necessary for exposure coverage, lol, so who am I to accuse a repost of not suitably linking the source.

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?

We must imagine Sisyphus as happy

I won’t break it down, plenty of people have done that already. It’s one of those sorta zen points that’s both almost trivial and very difficult to understand
