No? That’s not what it means.

Let me try an analogy: suppose you got out in a snowstorm, God is someone who loves you and got after you to light a fire so you can be warm, what happens if you still insist on going away?

Depending on the interpretation the “I was” should be “yourself”.

As God is the source of all life and good, choosing to turn away from Him means hell is self-inflicted.

I’ve managed to run some old games on Linux with Bottles/Wine that didn’t work on Windows anymore.

IMO the “year of the Linux desktop” will come when distros are designed for people who shouldn’t even be allowed to use sudo.

The copyright thing doesn’t bother me much, but the absurdly inflated hype and pushiness from the companies does, and using it at this moment only feeds into it. Probably after the bubble bursts I won’t feel bad about using it.

I recently used one “agentic ‘AI’” to help writing unit tests. Was surprisingly productive with it; but also felt very dirty afterwards.

The funny thing is that the person who approved the law increasing the prison time for that crime was… Bolsonaro.

For me “Christian Nationalism” is an almost physically painful oxymoron.

In my understanding, Christians should see ourselves as and live as exiles, as our nation is Heaven.

free market means consumers are free to choose where to buy from, it absolutely requires government regulations.

Yes! The beta was much more fun than the full release.

It being abandoned by the devs is a bit sad, but at least it means great mod stability.

For Brazil I’d suggest Curitiba or Florianópolis as the safest and most likely welcoming. Other cities might be more welcoming but less safe, or more safe and less welcoming.

Cupid should try moving to the Southern Hemisphere, February is the perfect time to do that.

Peertube still needs improvements to start looking attractive.

While it is technically federated, using it still feels like it’s just a bunch of small disjointed sites.

I completely agree. Here in Brazil there’s a great example of how badly these binaries fail with Getúlio Vargas.

He got into power with the help of the fascists against the communists. But he was an ultranationalist and those were foreign ideologies, so he persecuted both.

He instituted many workers’ rights and was called big father of the poor, but was also a cruel dictator who committed genocide against the natives, and also persecuted white Europeans who did not had Brazilian culture.

After being deposed he got reelected and committed suicide in a way that saved Brazilian democracy from a military coup.

Strong evidence for the horseshoe theory.

Only works in written form. Unless the alien says the number as one-zero.

Also, in a bijective number system, every base is 11. (they don’t have 0)
