Someone’s been studying the 2 guardians puzzle.
Someone’s been studying the 2 guardians puzzle.
Gotta say outright, a god that punishes people for not believing in the correct interpretation of him… is a God who’s heaven I wouldn’t want to go to. Just do the math on regional factors alone. Fact is if you believe in a god, if you are born in a heavily muslim area, there’s a 75% chance you’d believe in the muslim interpretation. If you are born in a christian area, there’s a 75% chance you’ll have the christian belief, same for hinduism, bhudism etc…
Fact is no matter how you slice it, if there is a correct version of god to believe in, at most maybe 1/3rd of people are in the right place to believe in that version of him. Meaning 2/3rds of the world is at a cultural disadvantage to not correctly beleive in the right version of god, and thus would be doomed to hell. That’s before factoring in hundreds of other factors like life circumstance etc…
Simple fact is if a god exists, and is good, and has an afterlife (none of which are facts I believe in). I don’t think belief or knowledge is any sign of fairness for such a being to do, and certainly sending things to hell for something that they are literally incapable of even trying to think about… is just nonsense for anything but the most malicious and evil interpretations of a god.
I mean looks isn’t even really the thing, The main 2 things are default programs, and the package managers. IE arch based are good if you want the bare minimum, and for most packages to be the bleeding edge. Buntu based if you want the default packages to be more stable versions (at the drawback of not always getting the latest without setting up a repository).
Basically it’s the installers and configuration tools that are the main differences. You are right that on a practical level if you ask me to make an arch system look like a debian or ubuntu system that’s set up the way you like it, I could almost certainly make it barely distinguishable.
also worth going further on library size. There’s twice as many steam deck verified games, than there are ps4 titles. Not counting any titles that work in steam deck but haven’t bothered to be verified.
In the US the law does that. Even reaction videos that basically show the original are generally OK. The problem is that generally places for the general public to post things, don’t want to spend the legal costs of checking every claim. So they do a guilty until proven innocent approach where if someone has a registered business if they accuse someone it gets yanked immidiately, and then it’s up to the users to prove it’s not infringement.
Seconded here, at the bare minimum you need a VPS or similar. Quick detail here, if you say you are using it to “sail the seas”. and you are talking about self hosting.
Point of a VPN for piracy purposes is best explained. In short, You connect to the VPN host, the VPN host connects to the tracker or whatever pages you are going to. Should an anti-piracy bot connect to the tracker and follow the leads, it will find the VPN instead of you, and hopefully the VPN isn’t keeping logs and has enough people connecting to it that they can’t keep a specific link to someone.
Problem with self hosting, is it kind of misses that value. If the same happens but instead of finding your computer, it leads them to… a computer in your living room. Well obviously the same is going to happen as if they found just you.
It would be kind of interesting to see if there’s a ratio of evil characters to their actors doing crimes. I mean the most obvious that comes to mind is Kevin spacey. Though it doesn’t seem to be higher rates for celebs that play evil characters vs ones that play lovable good characters. Least most don’t consider Bill Cosby or OJ Simpson to have played particularly evil characters. So I’d say in general money and fame cause an increase in likelyness of being evil, the on screen persona doesn’t seem to be a huge contributing factor.
Yeah to me the obvious end days was when the “half priced but with ads” plans came out. It’s going the route of cable. the patern is so predictable.
Year 1: Ad free - 5-10,
Year 2: Ad free 10-15
Year 3: ad free 10-15, low price ad tier 5-10
Year 4: ad free 20-30, ad tier 10-15
Year 5: ad tier 25-30, ad free 75
Year 6: Due to low demand, ad free tier is removed. ad tier 40-50.
That’s of course counting the shitification of their being 20 services, which are equally sharing shows of every genre so that no matter what type of shows you like, you’ll need to use 3-4 services to get the main shows you want.
Agreed, russia has proven themselves more dangerous, and more laughable at the same time. Their ability to underhandedly destroy us from within is far stronger than we ever were allowed to believe. Their ability to mount an actual attack, is far more laughable than we thought.
Though I do suppose the real scary part of it is. The potential death throws kind of attack. Putin’s immaturity, narcissism etc… is far scarier than we have ever understood. Russia quite frankly is the superpower that I could easily see hit the point of “If I can’t run the world, I’ll destroy it so you can’t have it”, and quite simply we’ve never seen or understood the potential of Nuke vs Anti-Nuke warfare.
I mean I’d imagine it’s pretty expected.
Lemmy.World was kind of the go to instance for exiting redditers during the mass exit over the API changes, while a majority of subreddits protested. As we all know, most of the subs did not stay closed. So a majority gave up
Honestly I feel any situation in which they put a touch screen near you, and have an ordering system should be done like this. Waay off topic but my local sonic has touch screens on all of their 50 pull in spots, that can only be used to turn through ads before you hit the button to talk to the person over the shitty half working intercom system.
I’d assume same reason most politicians are. In a capitalist society, those that pool the most money will tend to gain the most power and influence. So the churches that talk to the rich man and say “of course god is blessing you because you are such a good person” get more money, and thus more influence, than the churches that pay attention to the “It’s harder for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven”. “Succesful” religious leaders become the ones to teach the next generation of religious leaders. Causing more drift into the same idea.
Then of course the pro-corporate candidates also do really good virtue signaling. Because when the religious leaders do not want to focus on the Rich, they still need a bad guy to rally against, and since nobody needs the church to tell them murderers and thieves are bad… the church takes a more strong stand against things that are accepted by society that they can consider against their faith. (abortion, LGBT etc…)
I’d imagine the cause of death would be a huge factor. Pain receptors quite often don’t detect major things. Hence a scratch can go undetected, but a deep very quick cut might destroy every pain receptor near it and you won’t even notice an enormous wound.
Point is it’s a stroke of a pen to change the priority… One president or one DEA switch away. The supreme court upheld Roe V Wade which was why it wasn’t important to codify it into law… until it was.
