What are you even responding to? You don’t seem too keen on learning anything honestly. Can we at least agree that saying “panpsychism is woo/mysticism” is a form of ignorance, willful, stubborn ignorance in your case? It’s fine, it’s impossible to learn everything in a single lifetime, but at least let’s be honest.

That someone like Russell subscribed to a form of protopanpsychism is not a proof that his position is right. It does indicate, on the other hand, that it could be a kind of metaphysical position that’s more serious than you believe it is, serious enough that vaguely recognizing a few words in a few sentences on wikipedia is not enough to actually understand it. Not only that but it’s had actual scientific productivity through ergonomics (eg “How the cockpit remembers its speed”), biology (biosemiotics), sociology (actor network theory), and even arguably in physics through Ernst Mach and information theory.

Can you explain how you reached that conclusion? Since you’re a rigorous thinker, no doubt it would be trivial for you. After all, you’re notably up against Bertrand Russell, one of the writers of the first attempt to ground maths onto rigorous foundations, so since it only took you a few minutes to come to your conclusion, you must have a very powerful mind indeed. Explaining your reasoning would be as easy as breathing is for us the lesser-minded.

She sucks when overextendeding her aura of expertise to domains she’s not good in (eg metaphysics and esp pan-psychism which she profoundly misunderstands yet self-assuredly talked about). Her criticism of academia is good, but she reproduces some of that nonsense herself.

Finally, good web design.

Then yes the solution of @onlinepersona@programming.dev is fine, no need for anything too complicated.

Can you show your exact folder structure?

Edit: OP actually has a simple folder structure, and transmission-create works fine, so no need for anything more than just looping over 1st level folders and files with a simple shell script.

Basically you’d want to map seasons to folders within the torrent files. I found the torf python library on github that looks good, but there are two questions:

• what’s the structure of those XML files, what do they contain?
• seeing the mass of torrents you want to create, it wouldn’t hurt to cache the cryptographic sum of the files’ blocks for the chosen block size, unless this is already in those XML files

Not that I’m implicitly saying I’d write a program to do this (I’m very unreliable), but looks like you’d need to go the programming route (you or someone else). It’s a matter of walking your folders, finding those XML files, parsing them with a library (python has a built in one), finding what to do with that info exactly, and passing it to torf. And preferably, saving the cryptographic sums, as well as the progress of the program. If you have the cryptographic sums in the XML files, it’d be worth it to make the program concurrent with threads, as it would be about reading and writing files as fast as possible, and this could be so fast saving progress would be pointless.

People have warned about this risk since disqus started getting popular. Based on my experience, no matter how nice you try to be about it, people choosing this kind of solution can give zero fucks about this, and consider that immediate convenience trumps everything. So, cheh.

It’s been less “mechanistic” so far: fewer canned replies, fewer “oh this post again”. It’s partly because of there being very few bots and less astroturfing, but also I think it’s just the mindset, people here may be less likely to be passive consumers. On reddit I kept having the issue of people misreading everything I posted, because they barely cared about what they had on their screen and wanted everything on it to cater to their taste. Big social networks encourage a form of algorithmic solipsism.

I’ve followed “gender critical feminists” for a while, and in the early 2010s they did claim “TERF”. It’s only when it became better known to the outgroup and that they, accurately, overly focused on trans women to explain how evil they were, that they tried to rebrand and used “TERF is a slur”.
