  • Hmmh, always the same thing. On release, it's just an announcement with a promise to open "key components" sometime. I'll add this to the list of bookmarks to revisit at a later date. I wish they'd just get it ready and only then publish things.

  • I'd say Live-CD/USB and use the recovery mode to fix GRUB. Grub has to appear so thet's the first issue. If you're lucky it's the only one and you can skip the more complicated steps.

  • Yeah, definitely weird. I like VeganCheesecake's comment. I've seen some Youtube videos about internet scams and seems one of them is luring people in by being nice to them and faking some personal interest and then sell some investment opportunities or crypto...

  • Before jumping to any conclusions, you kind of have to try it several times, though. Just once could be a fluke, as there is randomness involved in AI. And the topic of the conversation is completely unclear, so the AI makes something up.

  • I'd say if it's as power hungry as people say, it'd maybe make a good on-demand backup solution. Install some NAS distribution and power it on once a month, make backups of your *arred collection and your laptop/workstation and shut it off again.

  • Hmmh. And I've missed another point. If you want to do things like add communities later on, and this somehow propagates to existing subscribers, this can't work together with anything but one subscription per whole feed.

    I haven't made complete sense of the feature and the consequences yet. I thought I'd just open the feed from the top bar and use it to categorize stuff for myself. And I'll open it every time i specifically want to see just Linux stuff or wholesome stuff. But yeah, that's not the main point of it. And I've never used multi-reddits or starter packs or similar features... I'm probably just very tired, I'll stop talking for today because what I say doesn't make a lot of sense anymore. Wish you all a nice day or night or whatever it is.

  • Feeds subscribe you to those communities

    I mean if you click on subscribe, to subscribe to all the communities within, that's kind of intended behaviour?! If you just view it, it shouldn't really be an issue. I guess there is some way to figure this out in an acceptable way.

    But yeah, we can scrap my idea if it's used this way. Maybe just don't offer one big subscribe button for all of the group, so users need to make a deliberate choice and click on all the communities seperately?

  • That's a valid concern. And I think to solve that in a clean way and altogether, they need some options to restrict commenting or voting to subscribers only. Meddling with other features and how communities can be found, so people can keep hiding in Lemmy's noise... is a very indirect approach and doesn't go all the way.

    I've seen a bit of that issue in connection with the All-feed. Back when AI was still largely hated on, we regularly had some amount of downvotes creep into the few dedicated AI communities. And while I support people downvoting the flood of AI related stuff in general news and technology communities, I don't see any reason to drive-by downvote an AI post in an AI community. But that has stopped since. And I don't think I've seen anyone come in and pick fights or something. It was just some minor but noticeable and constant stream of downvotes. So I can definitely see how these things would be annoying to some people. On the other hand I think people wanting to subscribe to things and having curated feeds, might also be a valid request.

  • 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.

  • 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... 😆
