The readme doesnt ever explain what a smart playlist is. Is this a term that most people know that i’m just out of loop on?

Of course the danger is that this is cancelled out by increased carbon emissions from a making a commensurate amount of toast.

So this new carbon sequestering program is going to be kind of a good news / bad news thing. …

Funny, I just finally gave up on it just a few months ago and moved on Quod Libet.

…spilled his arithmetic overflow on the ground.

Well, it seems to me that “cognitive problems” explains a lot about this guy, including him not the sense not to reveal that.

Oh they thought of that, there’s a whole bunch of cushions glued to that side of it.

You realize the world is full of people and organizations with many different opinions and interests, don’t you? It is impossible for anyone to do anything, or fail to do anything without people being unhappy and critical about it. The bigger and more powerful you are the louder that will be. There should be nothing surprising about this.

Check out JOOQ.

Is that beard to make him look younger? Because it looks like that beard you sometimes see on young guys figuring out that they can’t really grow a decent beard…

Rowan?

Only if we can claim a scary reason for it. Government mind control? Aliens?

Well “it’s human nature” can indeed be a cop out. It shouldn’t be a discussion ender. And it shouldn’t be a justification. Murder is a part of human nature too. However it is a reality to be worked with. And one can ask, in what conditions is this behavior brought out, and in what conditions discouraged?

Oh I agree with you. I didn’t mean asking why was flawed, but specifically asking why with the implicit assumptions we tend to carry about human actions being rational and conscious. I agree that asking “why is this a part of human nature?” is a good question.

Asking why like this has the implicit flawed premise that human behaviors like this are products of conscious thought. They are not. (I don’t mean this as a criticism of you particularly, it is inherent in our culture to look at everything humans do as if it were rational and conscious, despite the reality that so much is it is not.)

I’d answer this by saying it is human nature. Most people don’t think about it and are not aware they are doing it. Many might even deny it. This is not to say individuals can’t stop and reflect and be conscious and rational about. Some do but most don’t.

And further thanks for taking this much care wrt backwards compatibility and helping clients avoid breaking.

I just bang my head on the table and save a step.

But not fark?

Didn’t sourceforge go to shit some years back with ads, embedding bloatware into downloads, and I don’t remember what else? Did it get better again?

Also, we’re living in kind of an unprecedented part of history that enables is to be independent of other people in ways never before possible. So that gives people a very distorted sense of that, a lack of any notion of the importance of community. And of course this “independence” is achieved by a complete dependence on this huge ubiquitous economic machine.
