  • On the internet? In general I take someone that spells "God" with a capital to be a theist (usually only 2 of 3 monotheistic believes, because Muslims usually use "Allah" probably). Or perhaps raised as a theist, lost their faith, but not bitter against their old faith. while if someone uses "god" they are probably not a theist.

    Makes sense to me too: I as a theist would refer to "Thor" as a "god" because to me it is not an entity that exists. It would only make sense for someone that is an atheist to not use a capital to refer to my "God": They don't believe it to be a real entity after all.

    E: although, I guess fictional characters do use capitals, so maybe I'm wrong.

  • I'd probably cut down my current job to about 1 day a week (because I still love my job).

    I'd Spend the rest of the time making all kinds of weird abstract artpieces that nobody would understand.

  • Early testsresults in the Netherlands have shown great succes. Less cyber bullying, more socializing by students, and better engagement in classroom. The students actually prefer it too.

    I thought it was stupid too, but I've come around to it. A box full of dopamine hits is not for teenagers to decide wether they can interact with it or not.

  • I know this is just a showerthought, but what do you define as religion? The term religion doesn't necessarily need a God.

    Or do you mean the 3 mainstream monotheistic religions? (Christianity, Judaism, Islam)

  • To be fair, I'm the opposite of efficient with my tab usage. I close tabs often as soon as I switch to a different task, only to find out I still needed that tab.

    I only just weeks ago discovered that tabs are kept open after rebooting (I had to turn power off during a session). That is how automatically I close tabs normally. A blessing and a curse.

  • About a year ago, I started buying DVD's from thrift stores. I rip them all and put them on my Plex server. I recently aquired a Bluray player and starting to collect those too. Since those take up MUCH more diskspace, I only watch bluray with the physical disk (storage in Europe is unfortunately more expensive than in the USA)

    I also started collecting CD's again (mostly from thrift stores too). I rip these to FLAC and also put them on my Plex.

    The beauty of this system for me is that I still have to physically flip through stuff to build my collection. Since it takes up physical space, I limit myself to stuff I actually really want to see/listen to. But by digitizing it, I have the advantage of having acces to that curated content everywhere. The added timesink of ripping and metadata correcting gives me more satisfaction and appreciation for what I bought. A sense of pride and accomplishment, if you will.

    So I buy Physical to make sure the collection stays curated and manageable, but digitize most of it for the convenience.

    Due to the appreciation of my collection, I now watch more movies and listen to more music than when I had acces to netflix or Spotify.

  • I guess that's where I have a limited understanding of how Internet and maybe even exploits works: how would people even find my machine? There is little to no incentive, unlike with a corporation. They must know where my door is to even use the keys.

    Can you just sort of do a brute force scan of all machines currently on the internet? Seems unlikely. In my mind, you can only access a machine if you have some idea about it's whereabouts, either physically or digitally. But then again, I have no knowledge about these kinds of things.

    Mildly Interesting @lemmy.world

    In this CD booklet, they forgot to remove some Japanese lyrics.
