Seems like if you were that desperate for Reddit information it would be easier just to bite the bullet and go to Reddit. Seems like a while lot of effort for no reason
It's generally correct for a quick answer. I don't think anyone here would be naïve enough to think it can't be wrong at all but if say it's definitely right more often than it's wrong.
And at least it has the openness to say (citation needed) unlike many other websites
I used the time honoured technique of posting a cute picture of my cats and hashtagging it. Also found some interesting people to follow - liking it a lot!
I saw a pathetic statement from that woman in the news the other day - "we can trust the games industry to regulate itself blah blah"... Can we fuck. Typical free market Tory politician.
I left Twitter back in 2016 when I realised I wasn't using it anymore and it had come up in a you've been pwnd result. Figured I'd just delete the account instead of resetting the password and didn't miss it.
But I signed up to Mastodon today, because why not? I don't really see why it's being called hard to use. There's some nice apps as well, which is making me more excited for a Kbin app when I wasn't so bothered before...
Whenever someone brings this up, which seems to be daily, I just think of the amount of different subs I was on Reddit for for the same or similar things and think well it's not really that different. There were always several for reading, history etc and the same is true here so...
You can just do a quick check to see the most active group and join that one if you really just want the one which I sometimes do. Or just join loads and see which ones are best which I also sometimes do... It's all part of the fun for me but it really seems to bug some people
Huh, maybe it's all Christians then... I don't know I started to get the feeling like I wanted to explore more about faith (I'm a permanently wavering agnostic) and started reading the New Testament. And very early on in Matthew Jesus says something along the lines of don't pray in front of all the others in the temple to show off how holy you are but do it in private. And that line of thinking inevitably leads to questioning the need for a church
Of course it was St Paul and not Jesus who formalised things a bit more.
Yeah it's a real extreme-Catholic/Orthodox thing to focus on the blood and pain I think. Catholic art, especially those little wax icons tends to show more of the blood running from the wounds on the cross. Mel Gibson is one of those extremists, hence his barely concealed antisemitism.
I've been reading about the history of early Christianity, before there was an official New Testament and what people believed was a bit more chaotic with a lot more of what we would call takes on Christianity flying about - that's why I love things like Dogma and Good Omens. To my mind they aren't being disrespectful, they're just interpreting what Christianity is and where it comes from, and why it's important.
That's why George Carlin's priest is such an idiot - he's not interested in belief, he's interested in golf and his own ego, and becomes a sinner with his whole buddy Christ idol anyway (which is one of the funniest things Smith ever created!)
I'd definitely have to add Life Of Brian to the trinity of comedies that handle religious themes respectfully but well. So many underrated lines - "he is the real Messiah, and I should know, I've followed a few!"
A built-in search tool to find communities all over fedi (kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon groups, etc.) with an indication of how active they are
I didn't realise this was something only Kbin did. It is extremely handy.
I like Kbin a lot - there's no OS app but the PWA does me alright. It was the UI that win me over but I couldn't do without having a good search tool now I've got used to it I have to say
But I was just giving my perspective as an outsider who stumbled across this post because messing about with the terminal had the opposite affect on me as someone who appreciates the concept of Linux but doesn't really have the level of passion to learn programming for it.
Red Dwarf is great - series 2-6 were its peak for me. It played with sci-fi concepts in an intelligent way and the humour came from the people.
It was originally pitched as 'The Odd Couple in Space' I believe if that gives you a feeling for the dynamics between the main 2 characters, a stuck up deadpan snarker and a slobbish loveable rogue
Anything using the terminal... I once tried to do something on Linux because a friend told me it was great. I gave it another go when it came up on my Chromebook and tried to teach myself. I just don't get it.
I'm not a programmer at all, so anything that involves typing commands is going to baffle me!
Same, I'm not really technical at all but because I can use formulas in Excel I'm Gandalf.
A V-Lookup? What witchcraft is this?
