  • Peter Thiel is delivering 4 private sold-out lectures at a club in San Francisco—about the Antichrist

    Jump

  • "his Christian faith"? Is Thiel Christian? Or is he just calling himself that for cultural political reasons, like Peterson and Musk?

    (For the record, I am Christian, and I'm constantly horrified at what passes for Christianity in the US.)

  • It’s time for Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to step down | Mehdi Hasan

  • Primary them.

  • Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?

  • Ah, it's just a fancy ad. That explains the poor writing.

  • Russia emerges strengthened from Ukraine war, with profound implications for western imperialism

    Jump

  • What a poorly written piece of garbage propaganda. It starts with the lie that the US started the in Ukraine, when it's only Putin who wanted that war, and only Putin who can stop it. If it was a proxy war, would Trump be sucking up to Putin? If Ukraine was the US's puppet, Trump's surrender to Putin would have worked and Putin's conquest would have been successful.

    Instead, the Russian economy is struggling because a million soldiers were sacrificed at the frontlines while many others fled the country. It's only China propping them up that allows Russia to continue their pitiful war.

  • Bazzite has gained nearly 10k users in 3 months while other Fedora Atomic distros remain fairly stagnant

    Jump

  • I did recommend Mint (although I use EndeavourOS myself), but he's not interested anymore.

    It probably didn't help that I recently recommended him to buy Nvidia rather than AMD for a recent upgrade, because Nvidia had lower power requirements, and I don't his his PSU would have been able to handle the comparable AMD.

  • Oit of control capitalism was the one thing that made him lose his temper.

    And yes, "love the sinner, hate the sin", but also protect vulnerable people from harm, and a lot of those conservatives are explicitly looking to hurt people.

  • My son also picked Bazzite, which I hadn't heard of before. Unfortunately he didn't like it and it back to Windows again.

  • Donald Trump says people are in Epstein files who ‘don’t deserve to be’: ‘It’s a Democratic hoax’

    Jump

  • There's no list, and it was made by the democrats, and some of the people on it don't deserve to be on it, but Bill Clinton is on it too, so that's why I won't release the list that doesn't exist.

  • Apple's Greed Is Finally Backfiring

    Jump

  • VS is itself short for Visual Studio, the first IDE I ever used, and the first MS product I liked. So VS Code Studio means Visual Studio Code Studio.

    Why Visual? Because 25 years ago MS was pushing Visual C++, where you would drag and drop visual components together and then figure out where to put the C++ code to make them work.

  • There are a lot of Christians of many different varieties. None of the Christians I know would agree with conservative Americans.

  • I don't, but the various books in the Bible were written in specific times and contexts, often times when slavery was common. The bible puts limits on slavery, says at various places to release slaves after 7 years, to pay them, to treat them well.

    One place in the NT that deals with slavery (and is pretty controversial because of that), is when Paul sends an escaped slave back to his master, with a letter to the master telling him to treat the slave as a brother, because they're brothers in Christ, both children of God.

    Paul was trying to spread Christianity in Greece, where slavery was very common, and outright condemning it would probably make a lot of Greeks reject it. There are a lot of places where you can see Paul being very pragmatic about stuff as long as it helps spread the Word. So I guess "here's you're slave, but remember he's your brother" is his compromise with slavery.

  • Love them? But also counter their false teachings. Loving the people they mislead or hurt, and save them from harm.

  • As a Christian, I'm utterly disgusted by how these people are perverting my religion that's supposed to be all about love for others. For your enemy, even.

    Feed the poor, shelter the homeless, heal the sick, visit the imprisoned and welcome the foreigner. That's how we will be judged, according to Matthew 25.

    The pervert the words of Jesus. First the Prosperity Gospel, and now this.

  • Yeah, real shame Maemo never got anywhere. I really liked the idea.

  • Trump says the Smithsonian focuses too much on 'how bad slavery was'

    Jump

  • Atop being so negative about slavery, because we want to bring it back.

  • All these tech giants have their own area where they are the absolute worst, and other areas where they're not as bad as some of the others.

    Apple sucks on app store restrictions, but on the desktop OS, the respect user privacy more than Google and MS do. Google is the absolute worst on ads, tracking and using search to leverage their monopoly, but they've also made a ton of cool stuff, including Android. MS makes the worst piece of shit OS and forces everybody to use it while they make it worse, but I'm sure there's also something they do right.

  • I like the idea, but I'm annoyed by the inconsistency.

    The þ is the th sound in "both", but not the th sound in "the"; that's a ð.

  • Dude, if you're going to do this, you should really be spelling 'that' like ðat.
