  • Fyi the syncthing-fork guy (catfriend1) who’s still updating has a donating button on F-droid via Liberapay. It’s up to you if your financial situation allows you to donate, but the more of us help the remaining developers for their time, in particular those of us that rely so much on their work, the better off we’ll be. Let’s give them a little motivation to keep working on this.

    FYI2 syncthing-fork (as written and confirmed in this thread) has an import button for your folders from syncthing Android.









  • So the point is not wealth but spite ? You don’t have to act in good faith to cooperate with others. Like i said, in trade, a prosperous peer is worth more and generates more wealth than an ailing one.

    This is not an argument on good faith, it’s self interest and selfishness. It’s right there on game theory and pretty much the entire course of biological history and evolution. One might profit from destroying and seizing the resources of a peer, but in most cases that profit is inferior to quid pro quo cooperation.

    To me this is just acting deranged and nonsensical. Just being belligerent for the sake of cruelty and destruction. It’s more believable to me that its motivations are about projection of power and hegemony like other commenters have pointed out.



  • So it’s 2020 and the US is still using special forces to carry out coups and arming rebel militias around the world, often to mediocre results and incredibly hard consequences, such as runaway rebel militias and an absolute mistrust of the US as a partner.

    Yeah good job US. It would be worrying if the CIA & co were not so famously demonstratedly laughably incompetent. Stop orchestrating coups and arming militias. It will never work out the way you expect. It’s so ridiculous. One would think that after some 50 years of failure in the middle east and south america a country would learn what not to do, but here we are. I guess some countries take a little while more to learn.



  • I’m not a religious man, but i honestly can’t understand how someone can go like “my god is good and this is what my god wants. I’m doing a good thing for my god in their name” and then proceed to do this. Remember they’re doing this in the honor of the shabbat, so it’s really a message for high up.

    Either these people are completely delusional on their actions or their god is a being of extreme prejudice and hatred, unworthy of being worshipped by anyone.

    Either way the entire Jewish community and history is forever tarnished because of Israel. Jews everywhere and in the future will never completely ever live this down. It’s shame of the highest order.


  • Ever since Germany was united by Bismarck they’ve been on the wrong side of history. The 2 world wars, the stance on nuclear, their policy on EU international relations with Russia and now their stance on Israel.

    I find it impressive how they can beat all statistical odds to always choose wrong. They’re really good at doing things and very hard working. They just suck at choosing the right thing to do, most of the time.

    They did help fund the EU and they are keeping other EU countries in check from wanting to spy on every European’s private messages, like France, Sweden and apparently Belgium, and i really like that.


  • Like most places in the middle east, peace could have already been accomplished without US interference. That’s all it takes.

    However the US keeps funding and arming belligerent actors in the region, causing war after war after war since the beginning of the cold war. Without US interference, they would have fought it out and reached some sort of compromise to survive. Everything the US gets involved in is in for death and misery for decades in the region and will always end up worse than it began.

    The current Israeli-Palestine situation is not a 70+ year long accidental mishap that nobody knows how to fix. It’s a cafefully orchestrated stage going according to plan. I mean they stopped Germany in the 1940s. World powers could easily stop Israel too, if they wanted. I don’t know if anyone can stop it. It seems that not even registered voters in the US can stop this.


  • Trump would only win if the Democrat party found someone seemingly more inept than him.

    I am impressed that the Democrat party managed to present not one, but two outstandingly incompetent candidates. In a row. That’s some bottom of the barrel advanced scraping techniques right there. They even managed to get a representation of both sexes.

    I’m sure Mr. Biden will be terribly distraught, as soon as he is able to understand what’s happening around him at the moment.
