In German it’s higher pitched and you need to put your lips into more of an o shape than for the -ou in the English ‘you’. ‘Jü’ would be a sort of high pitched version of ‘you’ but definitely cute :3

Oi, that’s not nice, give it back!

Same for me on Windows. I switched to Linux and now everything runs fine and the few issues I have are ones I can fix.

I guess that’s just how things go huh?

I didn’t need to know that…

It does? (Schmecken?)

I did something similar to my mother. Except I came downstairs with blood all over my face and hands (I hadn’t found a tissue yet) and then tried acting like a zombie. I thought it was hilarious. She was shocked but got over it pretty quickly.

Depends on the version of Java you have to use and most places still say to put it in a class because they’re outdated too. (Is anything about Java modern?)

When I wrote “I wonder whether all species or even just one actually have a (shared) purpose? As humans couldn’t we all just try to find our own?” I was trying to say that I don’t see a species or all species as obviously having a purpose. Basically stating that what you said in the following quote is not a given to me.

Species on the other hand they all share a same purpose, which is to thrive as a whole (grow in numbers, but not too much in order not to endanger the very space they need to live in). At least that’s how I see it.

And that I see species very similarly to the way you see life here:

To me, life has no purpose beside maybe being what it is.

If it comes up again it might be best to use the same definition for ‘life’ I personally like the one from Wikipedia: Life is a quality that distinguishes matter that has biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from matter that does not.

A species is only one possible configuration of life that produces similar copies of itself. What would give a species its purpose of thriving as a whole? If you ask me it just does, just like simpler systems also try to find a balance.

I’ve just realized that I made an error assuming that an individual having a purpose and their species having a purpose would be mutually exclusive. Though I do find the possibility of a species wide purpose for one to fulfill slightly constraining though I suppose it can be pretty permissive.

And then there are individuals. They may or may not have whatever purpose they fancy within a somewhat restrictive 'species limitation’.

I think we pretty much agree here.

I would say we’re more or less free as individuals to be what we want to be.

Whether or not we have free will is something have not been able to decide for myself but it seems unlikely that it would require us to be able to control the reactions in our brains. Unless you really want to I would rather not open that whole new can of worms. Anyway I think there’s nothing stopping whatever we are from being what we seem to want.

On the other hand, I have no idea what the idea of the individual could evoke in a bee’s mind? Or ‘personal desire’?

The personal desire seems impossible to answer. I’m also not sure how a bee could find its own individual purpose and I find likely that it is incapable of comprehending it. But could a beekeeper or even the bee’s environment assign it an individual purpose (maybe less applicable to a bee than other species but I hope I’m making myself clear).

Imho, that is a very nice objective to pursue.

Thank you very much, it’s nice to hear that. :)

I’m very much enjoying this back and forth so far.

Edit: Fixed formatting lol

This was very interesting but I wonder whether all species or even just one actually have a (shared) purpose? As humans couldn’t we all just try to find our own?

For me it would be to be a net positive to society in certain ways (that I’m not sure how to put into words and the bits I know how to could get long) before departing.

In a way we are just a very complex system that can reproduce and we are just configured to do so. Life is very good at persevering but does that make it our purpose?

And one oft them has helpful manuals, forums and possibly a wiki that can help.

Wouldn’t this be reverse nominative determinism?

I’ll take that as a yes.

I’m assuming you mean the super key that some operating systems decided to reuse under a different name.

And uh yes I did press it but why would I use an OS with such a bloated default config? Setting up Hyprland was fun :> (but I never did add that hotkey lol).

Sounds awesome

If I know I’ll have to talk to them again soon I’ll just awkwardly look away, hoping they figure it out themselves but other than that I try to be the exact same.

But what if want to set them gay?

That’s another thing that should work fine on BSD.

The only Linux exclusive software I can think of is a bunch of drivers.

And the BSDs support it too, right?
