We should be careful about normalizing the use of scmp as a news source here. While they can be reputable in some areas, at large they are quite biased.

I would hope that people here don’t want this community to take the same path as the .ml news communities.

It’s a figure of speech. No need to get your knickers in a twist.

You’re not wrong. NIV is very generic. Lol.

The thing that stands out to me in the translation you have is making idles to yourself. Instead of for yourself. That and using the term Jehovah. Those to me are major pointers to using the NWT, which among the Christian diaspora is seen as less reputable.

I’m a secular person now but as a formally very religious person I know a bad Bible translation when I see it.

Assuming you a referring to Leviticus 26:1 a better translation from the NIV is:

Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God.

Given this I can see how Catholics can justify having statues and art and the like.

In case you don’t like the NIV here is a meta comparison.

I’m sorry. I can see how someone with very thick fingers might struggle.

My father has a similar issue. I watched him write a message on his phone and I think I found the issue with him. He cared very much about the accuracy of each letter. Doing so made him slow and caused a lot of unhappiness.

My advice to him was to stop caring and just trust autocorrect. It will autocorrect away mistakes and enables people to write quickly. But if you try to get everything letter perfect as you go there is no point to it. It’s a different mindset.

As for programming yah I understand the discomfort here too. I slow down a bit when at the command line on my phone too. Particularly with the flags and such. I recommend the fish shell though. It has an amazing autocomplete set of features above and beyond even zsh. It’s not just looking at histories. It looks at man files and gives autocomplete recommendations. Just Ctrl-F to complete.

As for programming, I have to ask, do you program on your phone? I would use my laptop here.

My “raw” error rate is quite high. My actual output error rate is quite low. I can’t speak for swipe keyboards though. I just use the standard tap keyboard. For me the in context predictive autocorrect works wonders.

With my old keyboard phone things were slower because I had to press down on physical buttons. With a touch keyboard I just lightly touch type without the need for effort or rechecking. It all just works out.

As for me I could never go back to a slide out setup. It was very klutzy and thick. Like 2cm thick. Crazy.

I’m happy with touch keyboards because they are faster for me and enable things like folding phones. But to each their own.

Thanks for showing me how passionate you are here. :)

Edit: the ellipsis leads me to believe that you might have been into tech while the n900 was around. You write with the passion of a n900 user. Did you have one?

I can type faster on my keyboard free phone then I could with my old phone with a qwertz keyboard.

Plus when I’m not typing I get more screen real estate. It’s a total win win for me. Not bad at all.

You need to relax a bit. No one is denying climate change here. (At least at the time I am writing this)

While I do agree with you that many Americans are, in fact, dumb, you should drop the use of slurs. They’re not conducive to a healthy environment and they make you look like an edgy 13 year old.

I do most of my cad stuff on openscad and I will say that is impressive!

Particularly since the openscad language is purely functional and side effect free.

I think it’s worth taking the time to learn IPv6 property. If you have a good understanding of IPv4 it shouldn’t take you more than an afternoon.

Eliminating NAT and just using firewall rules (ie what NAT does behind your back) is incredibly freeing.

I don’t get people complaining about typing out IPs. I like to give all of my clients full FQDNs but you don’t have to. Just using mDNS would be enough to avoid typing a bunch of numbers.

Imagine being so much of a Russophile that you are forced to defend MANDATORY antipsychotics for neurodiverse people.

I get disliking the west but this dose not mean one can ignore harm when you see it outside of the west.

State run is not the same as state influenced. You can’t honestly say they are equivalently influenced.

Also I will restate you posted a literal Facebook post. If you had a better source I know you would rather use that.

This link is to a Facebook post by the CCP controlled “China Central TV” network.

I would be interested in hearing more, but I’m sure you understand why a better source would be a necessity.

Schwip Schwap is my favorite. Mountain Dew is also quite nice when I can find it.

I really appreciate your super stark pro libre software attitude. I want to support you here. You should know that the approach you are taking is ultra abrasive and would probably cause more harm than help.

People would just associate libre software with militant weirdos, if all they saw where your posts.

If you want to make meaningful change I strongly recommend taking a softer less abrasive approach.

We want libre software to be connected with safety, friendliness and personal autonomy, not militarism, chanted phrases, and dogma.

Even on Lemmy the ultra pro libre software social network (relative to non federated networks) your current approach is off putting. I want you to succeed and I think a different approach may be better.

Just my two cents.

If that’s how you feel about it, then it may be a cudgel against you. But I am certain you do see and have seen people who proudly self label as tankies.

Nothing wrong with that.

I’ll take that as a yes for you. If you are a Tankie you should stand up for your values and be proud!

The only reason why you would deny it or hide it is if you have an agenda.

But that’s not a no.

Hey. There is no reason to feel useless. Everyone has value. And the best part about Linux is that we all can make our own choices. If people hate systemd they don’t have to use it. That’s ok. Void linux I think is actually a pretty cool distro. It reminds me of the BSDs for some reason.

I use systemd because I like how it works and I think it’s well designed. As for desktops I am a huge fan of sway. Gnome isn’t bad on a laptop or tablet though. What do you use?
