As a counter point Jesus would have also said “What on earth is a ‘government program’?”

Erm… it preaches being “slaves for Christ”, with very few safeguards on what are good boundaries for leaders to have over you. I agree on the ideals, but the power dynamics also “treat people terribly”

While I agree with your sentiment, the problem with the Bible is that it doesn’t contain democracy. It only really has examples of god ordained despots. So one can “follow the Bible” and have results that are wack.

Israel was supposed to still be loyal to King David even though he was a liar, murderer and adulterer. Jesus has the opportunity to tell people to reject Caesar but instead choose to more or less tell them to let Caesar be Caesar and keep whatever is God’s separate. It was tacit acknowledgment that sometimes you have to obey evil rulers. (St Paul carries this on in Romans)

So obviously that was necessary in first century Judea. The problem is that’s the only scenario the new testament deals with.

Add to that that all Jesus’ ethics are person based, without a single word of what a government should or shouldn’t do. Minus all the common sense tradition amalgamated in Europe over 1600 years, and you have the religious right of America.

That part of the Old Testament still applies somehow because reasons.

That’s because Romans 1 also says gay sex is bad

Humans are apes. It’s monkeys we’re not descended from.

Since I was quite young at the millennium, but old enough to totally remember it, they’ll come a day (hopefully) when I’m one of the few very old people in the world who “remembers the 20th century”. Like how there were a small number of people kicking around in the 1980s who could remember the 1800’s…

Am seriously considering founding a not-for-profit to provide an ad free / spam free / bot free basic community. Would cost a dollar or two a month. Chief differences to the lemmy would be one account per person via proof of identity signup (I think this would improve behaviour and discourage spam), a single authority to tackle voting abuse and other things useful to be not federated.

Aside from that revenue would cover technical staff costs + hosting and the rest could go to some good cause. There’s be no ads. No data selling. Not conflict of interest over how the platform evolves. Would be open source. Adults only.

Id keep it as basic as possible to try and capture the spirit of 90s fora. Am not even sure I’d allow inline images or vid.

Thoughts?

Should be a filter on tinder

Of all of them my experience is that younger gen x / older millennial are the most hands-on technically literate. Grew up in 80s 90s as home computers became main stream but required a good deal of tinkering. They currently form the body of 40-50 year old electrical engineers, senior devs and consultants. Not really in game development (where crazy hours are a young man’s game), rather IT and business as a whole.

Ah understood

How is “lol if you’re using a developer resource expect to need to follow basic technical instruction” boomer energy?

The accusations comes from them wanting to use a small tool for specific nefarious purpose (tracking people across social media). That’s what “script kiddie” generally means: younger people lacking technical expertise seeking to use the “hacking” tools that others have made.

The more I see of Gen Z the more I feel secure in my IT job. There’s no new generation of home grown tech nerds coming to push us out. Half of these guys think hacking is hitting view-source on a webpage or (hushed whispers) finding the developer tools menu…

I mean, shit on production companies all you want… but if I was selling a product and people were finding easier and easier ways to simply copy it for free then I might get a bit… risk averse…

Indeed the new one, in attempting to the faithful to the book, but minus any of the critical inner monologue, just manages to be bland on a big budget.

I love the campy 84 version, even if it departed wildly from the text. The characters were colourful, over the top, memorable. Current version everyone’s a slightly different dark haired man in a dusty suit. Give me some dated CGI and theatrics any day.

intelligence != “thinking”

Things only have a price if they have to. Price is, to some degree, an indication of power exchange. If they wanted or needed you to talk about it then there would be a price. As it happens you do it for nothing.

Responsibility occurs in proportion to the ability to stop or control a thing. Individuals are responsible for most of their crimes but not all. Society is to blame for some crime but not all.
