I’d say this is just like a nice e-mail provider that provides you with email and a bit of cloud storage and a place to sync your addressbook and calender for like $5 a month. We could do the same with social media and the Fediverse.

Though the majority of this community isn’t Marxist or Communist. The developers are, but major parts of the community hate it, and they migrated towards other instances… Which make the majority of Lemmy as of today. You just have to avoid lemmy.ml and lemmygrad (and hexbear)

Yeah, I mean you’re probably right. And it’s a super complicated topic anyway like all theology 😅

I’m with netcup.com and I’ve been happy. But some people complained their support isn’t the best and they sometimes don’t answer. I’m not sure about the details as I’ve never needed support. Maybe you want to ask someone else. And make sure to choose the correct server location as most of their servers are located in Europe and you don’t want that latency if you’re living in the USA.

I think he paid for our sins, and not fulfill the laws? Unless you mean the foreshadowing in the Old Testament and how the story picks up on that. Thanks for raising that point! I think that might be it. Afaik Jesus died for the sins of everyone, not just the Christians. But you got to accept his sacrifice to get salvation. Which I’d argue is the thing that technically makes you a Christian. And it’s simultaneously the excuse to look down on other people who then aren’t going to see forgiveness.

Hmmh, thanks. I wrote another comment here, detailing how I wasn’t taught that Jewish faith is outdated. Their way of living and civil laws, yes. But most of their books is what we look at to see how the world was created and what happened until Jesus was born. And that’s pretty much in place as is. But I’m not a theologian. I don’t think they taught me much about Islam, though.

And sure, I can see how it’s different the other way around, if someone declares a messiah and it’s not the same belief any more.

That’s not what the catholic church taught to me. I believe they said something like that the new covenant means we get a new relationship with god. But it doesn’t invalidate the old one. It’s more or less civil laws and ceremonial laws that don’t apply anymore while the deeper morals shouldn’t really contradict each other. And the history and stories stay relevant. (And they made us learn a good amount of them, like what the Samaritan tribe did and a few others, the main story arcs with Moses, Abraham, the flooding and Noah, Lot…) I mean we wouldn’t even be able to tell how the world came into existence without relying solely on the Old Testament.

But is that rejection, or what are the consequences? I mean even every denomination of christianity thinks all the other ones are wrong. All the holy books are in itself full of contradictions, so people interpret them and deem every scholar of their own faith wrong, once it opposes their own take on it… So I’m not sure if they even think like that. I mean in practice it turns out that way. Everyone forms tribes and they’re the only ones blessed with the truth. But I think that’s way smaller groups, and kind of the other way round. Because religion is to a large degree about tribalism and not intellectual arguments. Though they have that, too. But it’s slapped on top. Maybe I’ve answered my question with that… 😆

Yeah exactly. I mean it takes some balance and they absolutely need to be sensitive. But it is like this in some professions. Once you put in the effort to put away your lunch, put on the gear, drive somewhere etc, you’re then going to engage, almost no matter what. At least talk to people and try to assess the situation. Same for firefighters, paramedics and even some technicians. And it’s the right call in lots of inconspicuous situations. At some point they stop giving a f… and just bother people because the alternative is they’ll occasionally have to return to the same situation several hours later and it’ll usually have become worse in the meantime. Plus after some days in any of those jobs, you’ll notice that half of the people lie to you in one way or another. So you start to not trust people anymore, but make sure yourself.

(And I think this situation kind of matches this. They could have asked for an ID because it’s standard practice, or because they’re bastards, or because they needed some lame excuse to spend more time talking to OP to assess the situation and see how people react and behave.)

To be fair, it’s often difficult to judge a situation over the phone. Some crazy people sound like regular ones. And even more so in the opposite direction. Normal people might sound crazy in emergency situations. So there isn’t really a reliable way to tell them apart. And they then need to dispatch someone to find out.

It’s an extreme perspective and an oversimplification. So necessarily wrong if you state it this way… Neither do all people in Israel seem to support this, nor is “innocent” any attribute that fits the purpose. Technically like a newborn baby should be pretty much innocent. An adult may not, even if it’s just an act of omission. But it’s not really a philosophical question in this case, is it? And it’s not even what this is about. So I’d say that sentence is immediately wrong on technicalities.

Lol. Did the cops handle this well, at least? Did it take them time to judge your age, or did they just laugh and leave?

I mean you can host anything. It’s just not reachable from the outside. And Fediverse or anything that gets data pushed in, won’t work. The common method to handle all of this is to use some tunnelling solution.

What’s your definition OP? I think I’m going with the textbook definition: Someone who posts deliberately offensive or provocative messages.

I pay 6.84€ a month for a VPS plus 4.65€ a year for the domain. That gets me a VPS with 4 cores and 8GB of RAM so in addition to Matrix, I can also fit a few Fediverse services, Nextcloud, a homepage, …

What do you mean with the word “reject” in this context? I mean they’re all Abrahamic religions and share that foundation. But they all disagree on who is the last prophet. Islam would even acknowledge Jesus. He’s just not the most important prophet. And we christians have all the old Jewish stories in the Old Testament and we study them and deem everything to be true. What the Israelites and all the other tribes did in the Iron Age and how it all came to be. And our messiah was a Jew. So there is a strong bond between those religions. But I’m not very well educated on the Jewish perspective on this renewal and spin-off of their religion.

Lego robots, those drawing robots, something that you can program to move forward, forward, left… A line follower. I’d be cautious at 5 yo and just letting them swipe on tablets and stare at flashing, colorful videos/games for too long. That just teaches them to mindlessly consume content. So I’d allow them to plat KTuberling, draw something in Paint and program a toy robot, but wait before giving them a whole PC or tablet of their own. And a tablet teaches nothing. That’s the reason why lots of people these days don’t have a clue how technology works.

Btw, Christians, Muslims and Jews worship the exact same God.

Yeah big drama, you found someone who is punk or antifascist… Why don’t you block them if you don’t like it?

Whatever you do, it’s not working properly. You seem to be mentioning me? All I get is a notification bell and your eyes emoji here. But I’m lacking context. So… You need to repeat your question or info, if this isn’t just a technical/federation error.
