What the fuck

You can be perfectly skeptical of the miraculous claims about Jesus, but he’s about as well attested in history as Alexander the Great.

This is an insane take. There’s like 2 or 3 references to him from the 1st century CE written by sources not affiliated with the early Christian/proto-Christian movement, which is enough to conclude he probably existed but not much more.

The consensus is that he probably existed, but he’s far from one of “the best documented historical figures ever”, there’s like 2 or 3 mentions of him in sources outside of the early proto-Christian movement from the first century CE. That’s better documented than most, which is why he probably was a real guy, but we can’t really say more than that with any level of confidence. Calling him one of the best documented historical figures ever is genuinely unhinged imo.

Roman censuses also didn’t make everyone return to their ancestral home because that would be inefficient and dumb. They almost certainly made that bit up to make Jesus fit prophecies about the Messiah (explaining how Jesus of Nazareth would be born in Bethlehem, even though it’s wayyyy more likely he was born in Nazareth)

No one in antiquity would have thought he was born of a virgin, the word used in the original greek is parthenos, which also just means young woman. The virgin reading is just a translation error afaik.

Iirc the current consensus among critical/secular Bible scholars is that he was probably a real guy, but the stories about him in the Bible are mostly fictional (eg, he was probably born in Nazareth, not Bethlehem, did not have any supernatural abilities, and did not resurrect after being executed). Pretty sure Josephus, a historian who wrote a few decades after the historical Jesus would have died mentioned him, and iirc there’s at least one or two other mentions of him in non-Christian sources (or non Christian adjacent, Christian orthodoxy hadn’t really formed yet) from the first century CE.

Imo the most likely scenario is that the historical Jesus was an apocalyptic Jewish preacher who publicly opposed the Roman state and was executed for it, and most of what we consider modern Christianity was invented by Paul and his clique.

Every accusation from fashoids is a confession.

I don’t care if people look at the leaked Windows source code, frankly they should lie about doing so to avoid being sued. I don’t understand what your point is supposed to be.

KDE has nearly all of these now. Not all of them are official Wayland protocols (I think global keyboard shortcuts fall under that umbrella still). Some of the issues you’re complaining about I’ve never even seen a Wayland desktop have (eg not letting you set a window to stay on top, literally every wayland desktop I’ve ever used has had this).

And graphical performance for Wayland native apps has been on par with or superior to xorg for a while, however running software through XWayland does add some latency, so for very fast-paced games running in Wine, X11 is still the move.

Wow. Project that started out by framing itself as the anti-woke X11 server is developed by obnoxious shitheads. Who could Possibly have forseen this. 🙄

I don’t fundamentally disagree with the sentiment, but local models are mostly benign as long as you actually understand the code you’re submitting and rewrite it to remove the slop portions. Plus prohibiting it entirely just means people will lie about using LLMs. I do think Debian should have mandated people disclose whether/how AI was used for any given commit tho

I mean the best local models are only a few months behind the the best proprietary cloud models. Just look at Qwen 3.8 Flash or 27B. Imo local models are more than sufficient if you’re going to use AI for programming. Who cares if the small model can’t oneshot the whole patch, you shouldn’t be submitting raw LLM code to public repos anyway. Imo the only acceptable use of LLMs for coding is as a way of rapidly prototyping ideas that you will later mostly/entirely rewrite by hand, or as an extra static analysis tool for finding potential security holes.

And as someone who frankly doesn’t give a shit about intellectual property over code, my main ethical issue with LLMs is the monstrous resource consumption of hyperscale datacenters, so local models are strongly preferable. Also for privacy reasons.

The only difference between MAGA and the Taliban is which proper nouns they use.

“Hindsight can he 20/20” applies to forgetting a restaurant is closed on Sunday or something, not for deliberately allowing a child to die of preventable disease. They should all be prosecuted for negligent homicide.

For hardware over 20 years old? I don’t think the manufacturers planned on it lasting this long lmao

If you still have the discs, it’s really easy to rip CDs to FLACs.

Just burn the CDs to your phone? You can get digital audio off a CD and put it on whatever device you want, no idea why someone would give up their CD collection without at least backing it up to a hard drive first. Even if you don’t have any PCs with a disc drive, you can get a USB DVD-ROM drive (or even BD/BDXL if you wanna play blu-rays or save backups to BDXL discs because AI has murdered the price of SSDs/HDDs) pretty cheap.

Stop complaining what the government and change it yourself. You have the voting power. Get off your butts. Stop complaining about wages and unionize. Etc etc etc

You realize these are not mutually exclusive, right? This seems like the lead poisoning talking ngl.

you guys like to hit on boomers

Also that is Not what “hit on” means lmfao. I’d rather hit on a slime mold.

Comparable blood lead levels though

And then you lead-poisoned fox news boomers voted a pedophilic fascist into the white house. This isn’t even a “don’t throw stones from glass houses” situation, your house is made from tissue paper.
