So if I declare you to be an idiot nobody ever has to listen to anything you have to say in the future?

Aside from the obvious problems of how to determine “established oneself as an idiot”, what implications does this have for the concept of redemption?

What's your point?

I'm saying that SirensOfTitan's comment adds nothing that isn't already present in the linked video (and he freely admits that he didn't watch it) and therefore really serves no purpose (other than to boast, "I know things about this topic already _and_ I don't even need to watch the video".)

Your defense of SirensOfTitan's comment's supposed utility is to make your own tangential point which does nothing to argue that the original comment is valuable.

So I maintain: What was the point of SiresOfTitan's comment?

You make a lot of good points, but the conclusion is, depressingly, as always, that power and influence necessarily win out over truth every time.

There’s no reason to expect truth to prevail in an environment where it doesn’t have an adaptive advantage.

Why are you commenting if you didn’t take in the content of the link?

The little fact you drop here for some reason is right there in the video description.

I haven't looked into any automation options, but I doubt it. Seems like Working Copy takes a specified folder in the "Files" app and treats it as a git repo (in this case, the Obsidian/YourVaultHere folder). When you launch Working Copy you're basically sitting at a (very nice) git UI, so all the standard git workflows are present.

I'm used to using a variety of editing software and then manually pushing my notes repo, so the lack of automatic syncing doesn't bother me. In fact, I prefer it. I've been burned by auto-syncing before and it makes me nervous.

Confirming: Working Copy is _itself_ amazing, and solves the syncing-obsidian-to-github-on-ios problem.

> Did you use some plugin that helped with the committing and pushing?

No, it's just a folder of markdown files that I keep in version control and access through a variety of software, including (usually) Obsidian.

Is there a non-paywalled version somewhere?

It had this quality seemingly out of the gate, not after a period of selection. that’s part of the problem.

aren’t the weapons a bit different? or do you think rural americans are stockpiling rocket launchers and AK47s?
