Yeah. I'm not a big "celebrity" person but he's had a net positive impact to the world and devoted his life to his cause. I have a signed copy of his hacking book from a seminar in college. I hope he comes out on the other side. I have a lot of respect for him despite his eccentric statements.
Why do people use these crap apps when podcasting is the only media which, from it's inception, is entirely liberated? You can get a FLOSS app and access pretty much everything. Anything you can't access doesn't deserve your attention.
It provides a false sense of security for the left even though they should still definitely be worried. The past week is reminiscent of 2016 when everyone thought Trump was a joke candidate and Hillary was going to crush him.
They will have to rip Bitwarden (soon Vaultwarden) from my cold dead hands.
The scummy sales person is a stereotype. They exist sure but if you've ever worked with a good one they can really help particularly if you're buying something complex. I used to work for a company that sold complex manufacturing equipment and without a salesperson theres no way most customers would know what they needed to maintain it etc.
...so it's like it was during the hunter biden laptop story and covid?
They aren't. Vaultwarden is the selfhosted version.
Youtube Premium offers a fraction of the benefits of something like Newpipe.
It's going to translate into a trained AI that takes all of those jobs.
Getting a split keyboard is the biggest ergonomic improvement I've made.
it just freeloads
I watch a number of creators that YT has demonetized so I'm not worried about it.
YT can clearly see what people want in these apps. They simply need to provide the exact same functionality and set a price. They won't though because they want control and data as well.
Someone gifted me a Le Creuset rice cooker. I use it at least once but often twice a week. At $200+ it's truly something I never would have bought myself.
I have a thinkpad that runs this. It's a great little distro.
I'm not a programmer but I've been using linux for over 20 years. It's crazy to me that someone who develops software for a living would not just run Windows but have never meaningfully ran linux. 🤔
This is common in arab countries
The death penalty is anti-christian imo. Man's judgement is fallible and we are all made in the image of God.
This is the stupid simple and stable solution. Nextcloud was always giving me grief but Radicale is rock solid
Podverse! I'm pretty sure it's the only FLOSS app that has implemented all the podcasting 2.0 features. The only thing it's missing is Android Auto :(
Bingo
Newpipe
Call your senior relatives
Good advice. I don't regret any of the time I spent with my Grandma. She was hysterically funny and would always stop what she was doing to chat. I could tell she really valued the time. She also taught me a ton of stuff about cooking, canning etc
Regular interaction helps them avoid senility as well.
:laughs in Newpipe:
The problem is defederation. It basically breaks the entire concept of the "fediverse" and will prevent critical mass. Each instance becomes a little fiefdom. There should instead be the ablility to create and share extremely configurable filters (ala ad block lists). People can say and do whatever whilst simultaneously choosing what they do and don't want to see at the individual level. The benefit is everyone sees what they want while also not losing access to any communities simply due to an egotripping instance provider. Kind of like an urbit model that isn't so esoteric and weird.
Lol this is exactly where my mind went
I can't leave KISS launcher. I've tried.
I agree. I refuse to watch ads or to pay for an experience that offers less than a fraction of what Newpipe offers. When Newpipe is no longer viable I'll repurpose that time to chipping away at my reading list.
I recommend you read "Religion of the Apostles" by Stephen De Young. He explains the common misconceptions of the early Israelite beliefs. The "Gods" are lesser divine beings that were meant to protect the 70 tribes after the Tower of Babel fell. The deities rebelled against God and led the nations astray and were worshipped. The tribe of Israel worshipped the God of "Most high" which is the one true God above all divine beings. So they aren't henotheistic because there is only one God. The term "Gods" was used because they were divine beings but they were created whereas God the Father is not. Everything proceeds from him.
A great podcast that explains evil and suffering is "Whole Counsel of God" with the same guy. In short, suffering is unavoidable because man falls from Eden after sinning and the consequence of sin is death. Making death the consequence is a mercy because man can become sanctified during his life and through death re-enter the kingdom of God. Consequently suffering draws people closer to God than anything else.
I'm not a theologian and wrote this on my phone but that's my quick recap. The book is way more thorough of course.
I replaced my bullet journal with logseq starting this year and it's great. I sync it to all my devices with syncthing which is another great tool.
Fellow Caddy user here. I'd love to set that up. Can you share your Caddyfile or at least the important snippets?
Interest rates were way too low for way too long which led to the situation we're in now. While the Fed will probably lower rates this Summer they really shouldn't because inflation hasn't stabilized at all which was the entire point in the first place
I use it all the time for work especially for long documents and formatting technical documentation. It's all but eliminated my removed work. A lot of people are sour on AI because "it's not going to deliver on generative AI etc etc" but it doesn't matter. It's super useful and we've really only scratched the surface of what it can be used for.
"His" main critique is against evolutionary theology which is common amongst reformers and Christian critics. "God was seen this way. Then it changed and he was seen this way. OT God is angry. NT God is compassionate etc" This is not a new idea and has been held by the Orthodox church since it's inception and has been codified for the last 1200-1300 years. The Orthodox view everything consistently through a Christological lens which is why their view of sotieriology etc is so different than what you will get from Protestants or even Roman Catholics.
Fr. Stephen De Youngs book is just a readily consumable encapsulation of ancient arguments, historical findings (such as the Rosetta stones) with his own analyses and contributions. Would you be better off reading the church fathers and primary sources yourself? Possibly but you'd also need to know ancient Greek and Hebrew.
Christians and academics love to argue and I'm not surprised to see that people are critical of the book. I don't think there is any religious commentary that hasn't received criticism.
At any rate I encourage you to look at Orthodox theology more generally. You will find a logical consistency and depth of analysis that the secular world usually says is lacking in the Christian worldview.
Also that the US has been at war for the past 20+ years and has very little to show for it's efforts. People are war fatigued and want things sorted out at home because domestically things are terrible.
Thanks! I'll try this out.
Can't argue with you here. I think this is perhaps the biggest issue we face in the United States. Our government is for sale.
Even if I don't agree with you on all of what you said I agree with most of it. Sound reasoning and all that. The autism/aspergers 'excuse' is definitely hard to accept given his history.
Regardless, someone like him simply shouldn't be at the positions he has held if the open source community is to gain progress.
I'm conflicted here. The fact that he's a weirdo is kind of irrelevant imo. He's philosophically uncompromising and unmoved by social pressure. The only thing separating him from most tech CEOs is that he lacks an organization investing millions into his health, image, publicity etc Most big time executives are degenerates but no one cares because they are good at what they do. I think he's good at making software free even if he's a socially inept [insert criticism here] in his personal life. Additionally I'm saying this as someone who disagrees with him on basically every other issue he takes a stand on.
To be clear I wouldn't give them my money even if they did offer all the same features.
I have a media server that I use and if I'm going to watch something I think that's the only way to go. With things being the way they are though I'm starting to think that we should just return to books. The "content" industry is just a gambit to extract money from people while turning their brains off.
Someone needs to make a browser extension that hides any article with "experts say" in the title
