There’s really nothing special about Jesus, if you accept that the voices he heard in his head were not really “the all-powerful creator” speaking to him.

What I mean is that Jesus did not say anything more remarkable or ground-breaking than say Socrates, Marx or … I don’t know Iain M Banks or any other story teller. Way less remarkable in fact.

There’s this persistent idea that Jesus was some wonderful caring hippy, and before Jesus everyone was just a callous exploitive bastard. But there’s nothing new about the share-and-share-alike philosophy Jesus espoused. It’s basic game theory and has been present in society since before our species even evolved. Even chimps grasp those ideas.

Jesus was just a poor Jewish common person who thought he was the messiah. Just like his compatriots of the time, he believed the Jews to be the “chosen people”, and his message was only directed at his compatriots. He had no more grasp of humanity as a whole than any other common person of his time. As the messiah, he believed - as did his followers - that he was going to usher in the end of the world.

It’s complete nonsense, and if you truely understand what a scam the modern church is, you would stop promoting him as some kind of revolutionary.

I feel like MAGA might not come to his defense this time.

Hope this isn’t wishful thinking. Trump thinks his son is a l33t hacker for being able to turn a laptop on. Musk on the other hand owns a major social media platform and has access to skilled technicians and programmers, as well as huge server farms which he doubtless uses to analyse voter behaviour and find the weak points where efforts should be focused in order to have most impact on electoral choices.

Trump certainly understands how essential to the disinfo effort Musk is, even though it’s way beyond the grasp of your average MAGA. IMO Trump is not going to abandon Musk in a hurry.

a sign of utter desperation on the human’s part.

Yes it seems to be the same underlying issue that leads some people to throw money at only fans streamers and such like. A complete starvation of personal contact that leads people to willingly live in a fantasy world.

It was also a true AI wasn’t it? It ran locally and was never turned off, so conversations with it were private and it continued to “exist” and develop by itself.

Must’ve been a hell of a shower if adding a whole nother layer of weirdness in the form of time-travellers somehow made anything seem more logical!

Here’s a list of well-supported USB WiFi adapters - https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/USB_WiFi_Adapters_that_are_supported_with_Linux_in-kernel_drivers.md

Can you just stream video and audio directly, like a standard IP camera? This list of solutions in the Raspberry Pi documentation could have some ideas - https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/camera_software.html#stream-video-over-a-network-with-rpicam-apps (there are some RPi specific solutions, but also general Linux approaches e.g. ffplay)

yeah, they’re not actually using dead bodies as a fuel source, rather they are already expending a ton of energy to burn bodies so why not capture that heat and use it for a second time to heat up the living.

Don’t leave us in suspense - what was the opinion?

I think they mean that ARM became dominant by widely licencing its RISC architecture to pretty much anyone. This startup wants to make RISC V designs and licence them to various chip manufacturers - so they won’t be in the business of making chips themselves, just the design.

But as long as they are RISC V chips, then they would run the same software as any other RISC V chips.

Would that be a risk? Isn’t the whole point of RISC V that its ISA is open and free to use? That’s not the case for ARM or Intel’s x86 architecture.

In case you don’t already know about it, paccache (part of the pacman-contrib package) will let you easily remove old packages from the pacman cache

fraid I generated a tl;dr for this rather verbose article:

“Home directories are a mess because too many apps ignore XDG spec and dump dotfiles everywhere. The problem isn’t just legacy software—new apps do it too, often out of ignorance or laziness. Windows has similar issues with profile folders. Fixing it requires devs to actually follow standards, but many resist due to inertia or ‘my way is better’ thinking. Users should push back and demand proper XDG compliance to keep $HOME clean.”

Well like it or not, your footer is just a part of your comments, and so people are invited to respond however they wish when you post it on lemmy. If you don’t like people making the same replies, you can simply stop posting the same content in every comment.

artistic licence innit - based being the opposite of cringe.

Bethesda (and other companies) don’t owe anything to the very small community of modders

Disagree. I bought Skyrim VR (even though I already had the non-VR version) only because mods exist which make the game worth playing in VR. Same for Fallout 4 VR - would not have bought that without mods.
