If you’re interested in finding out, why don’t you buy one and try for yourself? They’re not that expensive (at least the non-electronic ones)… I hear some people like it. And I mean if you’re not fond of the current situation, you should switch up things and try something different anyways.

(Edit: I’d get a cheap one, see if I like it and the either throw it in the trash or have learned something and then decide if I want some $250 device with all the bells and whistles and buttplug.io integration. But YMMV on that.)

GDPR for Dummies. GDPR is DSGVO in German, “Datenschutz-Grundverordnung”.

I think what you mean is compound words vs other words?

Wikipedia says there are lots of compound words in English.

Plaintiff is borrowed from Old French. Litigation from Latin…

I suppose it boils down to when and under what circumstances a term was needed to describe something. Sometimes there was a word from another language available. Or the whole subject came from a different culture. And sometimes they just described it with a compound of what it resembles. And how to make up terms probably also depends on what is en vogue at the time.

Agree. But that specific article seems pretty alright. Also talks about the relics and history records for example by Tacitus.

There also is a Wikipedia article which I think is not written that well. And a lot of education material by churches or religious organizations which I did not cite for obvious reasons.

(And the German Wikipedia article about sources for the historicity of Jesus seems very good. But it’s not exactly OP’s question and I don’t know if it helps: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Außerchristliche_antike_Quellen_zu_Jesus_von_Nazaret )

Tl;dr: No.

My opinion: It’s a nice story. And with stories the most important thing is what it teaches us or makes us feel. Not that it’s true. Maybe they took inspiration from several preaching hippies who lived back then and made one story out of that. Exaggerated everything and made stuff up. Probably all of it because the bible was’t even written close to his supposed lifetime. It’d be like you now writing a story about a dude who died in 1870. Without any previous records to get information from. [Edit: The first things have probably been written down like 40-50 years after his death.]

And I mean if Jesus existed, he would certainly disapprove of what people do (and did) in his name.

American values aren’t important to them. They want different things. A strong leader, be heard, simple truths and/or some people below them to hate and pick on.

It’s a hashtag. Pretty much invisible but I can still see it.

Well that shouldn’t happen. I guess it’s technically possible because I can also change my own comments and they’re not signed or anything… But changing other people’s comments is kind if lying and being disingenuous. Either it’s a technical issue, or your comment was so offensive that it warranted an exception to the rule, or the mods/admins don’t know what is right and what is wrong.

Hmmh. I guess Lemmy should display that kind of information more prominently. But there isn’t much progress UI wise… Guess you could just look it up in the modlog. Or do it like that 😆 Thanks for the report anyways.

bummer.

I think they don’t take inspiration from Photoshop. Either it’s been a clone of a different product at some time or they developed it themselves. Hence the differences. I mean the whole UI doen’t really resemble similarity to Photoshop.

Yes. I have like 3 different apps but I regularly use Eternity. I think you’re right and a decent part if it is Eternity. Like half of the empty messages show up in other apps or the web interface. But not all of them. I don’t quite think it’s just deleted messages. Some others are definitely there and also don’t show up in Eternity… Maybe it’s a combination of factors. Honestly I didn’t quite pay attention when I was using which app. I’m still trying to figure it out. But this definitely seems to be part of it.

Ah. maybe hand it over to the next person? I suppose people still need to switch painlessly? But I get it. We used to host lots of stuff in my university years. A forum, chat, classifieds, filesharing… A big photo album for all our pictures and events… As far as I know all of that has gone. Either due to lack of interest or nobody was able and willing to pick it up.

There are some blog posts on annas-blog.org from 2022, talking about IPFS.

Day of the Tentacle

The article doesn’t talk much at all about all the interesting technical details.

The press release talks about trouble with payment providers… So I suppose they accepted credit card payment.

Maybe the court documents are publicly available if anyone is willing to dig them up in order to find out… I don’t think I’m that interested. If it’s a good story, maybe someone will do a documentery or podcast episode at some point. Would probably do for a “true crime” show.

I think most people here have went through the 5 stages of grief. And at this point they don’t care anymore. At least not to the degree they used to. It’s been a year. Life goes on. Don’t waste your time on being negative and spamming someone who once let you down. Look forward and spend your time on something useful. At least that’s my opinion.

But yeah, it’s a question. I just think other people think it’s pointless and they don’t care. And some of them are going to downvote you for that even in No stupid questions. And lots of other people aren’t going to upvote something like this. Hence resulting in that ratio.

Hmmh, not sure. I think broken images show up with some character. But that post also has one comment that shows empty in one App and text plus a picture on a different App. I think I need some time and figure out what it does on the computer.
