But does it really matter if it’s possible for us to make such predictions? If a hypothetical omniscient observer (i.e. Laplace’s demon) could predict all your decisions, then that already shows that they’re deterministic. Us not being able to actually do the determination wouldn’t change the fact that there is a definitive state of the universe for any point in time.
What would annoy me about it at least, is the implication that whatever you’re currently doing doesn’t matter at all. To him, whatever is currently on his mind takes precedence over anything you could possibly be doing at the same time. He doesn’t even think about how important or relevant to you the thing is that he wants to show you, because he doesn’t value your time the same as his. You’re supposed to just drop everything and do as you’re told.
Not telling you what it’s about also increases the sense of urgency (the implication being that there’s no time to explain; the bird could be gone from the windowsill or the kid could have fallen out of the window) while at the same time making it harder to make an informed decision about actually hurrying over or refusing. If you’d ask for an explanation, it might already be too late after all.
Have a look at rsync-sidekick maybe.
Not sure why I see this one recommended so much. Seems like it’s run by just one dude who won’t always be able to respond to support requests, security issues and other emergencies in the time frames you’d want with such a service. I also really wouldn’t want to bet my ability to securely access/send/receive important emails on that one person in Delaware not randomly getting hit by a car or something.
IMO KeePassXC’s UI is way better than Bitwarden’s, but Bitwarden has very convenient syncing and a browser extension that actually works with almost any website.
I used to use KeePassXC and KeepassDX on my phone, syncing them through Syncthing. But depending on Syncthing and the clients always making the right changes to the one database file without destroying something never felt good and always having to run Syncthing in the background on my phone probably didn’t do its battery life any favors.
Add to that some frustrations with the browser extension and that’s why I decided to switch to Bitwarden in the end.

You can download them or just play in the browser. Someone also made the collection into an Android app, which I usually use.
