I was in highschool and I begun to date my ex-girlfriend this year (she’s now my wife).

I love typewriters. When I write with them, I write differently than when I write with my computer. Just one example: if I write something i find shitty with my computer, I just delete it; if i do it with my typewriter, I have to physically strike the “bad” text. This has two consequences : I have to think more of what I’m writing, and if i finally change my mind the bad text is still there for me to work again or put somewhere else in my text. The “tangibleness” is important not only for conservation reasons.

But computers are better at sharing what in wrote, and polishing my texts. I like to scan and OCR-ize my pages and finishing the work on a computer. I don’t oppose analog and digital, but i find it sad that most people chose one (the digital generally) and reject the other. It’s like not using your left hand.

God helps, i’m convinced of that too. But there’s no shame in seeking help from a professional too, there’a no stronger force to change one’s life than when the spiritual and the psychological work together.

And a method in which beliefs are important. Not the religious ones, of course, but there are other kinds of beliefs.

There’s !dumbphones@lemmy.world, but it’s not a very active community. !degoogle@lemmy.ml is too restricted in scope maybe (and .ML…) but !technology@lemmy.world, even if wider in scope, may be a good place to share your experience. Wherever you share it, I’d read it with great interest!

When the bubble will explode, Microsoft will suffer, but as they’re a monopoly, they’ll grow again. Nvidia won’t, at least not at these proportions.

He also sold his Vistra actions. Linked to the bubble too, as the data centers are very electricity hungry?

It’s absolutely not.

Union dues aren’t an income.

In Swedish it’s also different. Mor is mother, far is father; mormor is the maternal grandma, farmor is the paternal grandma, morfar is the paternal grandpa and farfar the paternal grandpa. I love this system, it’s almost the only thing I remember from my study of Swedish 😅.

Of course science evolves, but that shouldn’t be a reason for a vulgarization book to teach something else than the scientific consensus of the time.

I didn’t read Sapiens, but if this book claim that homo sapiens is responsible for the disappearing of Neanderthals, you can close it. This idea was disproven by research long ago: when sapiens arrived in Europe, Neanderthals were already on the verge of disappearing.

I understand the reaction. The Bible is sold by a lot of churches as “the word of God”, and if it’s the case, God is a lying asshole. But nowhere in the Bible it is written that the Bible is the word of God; according to the Bible the word of God is Jesus-Christ so… it may not be the right approach according to the Bible itself.

I love the Bible, I read it (almost) every day, I use it as a guide in my material and spiritual lives, I studied the story of its interpretation in the university, I even thought about making that my speciality. Yet I don’t understand how someone could believe in biblical inerrancy. It’s very clearly a human work, written by error-prone normal humans. I believe that God spoke to its redactors, but it’s still a human work. And ours is (according to me) to listen to the voice of God through the human form; and that’s why we have the Church, as it’s not something one can do alone.

I do not really know. I was not raised in a practicing family, and my country is very secular.

Philosophically, I’m agnostic. I’m not convinced either by arguments for or against the existence of God. I think a being which could exist outside time and space is not approachable by our reason.

But I can’t stay neutral, the question is too important. And I feel the presence of God in my life. This feeling came first, and when I tried to understand it, I went to the culturally nearest place of worship, and it was Protestantism, and I felt at home. I read the Bible, not as a theology manual, but as the story of people who try to understand the presence of God; sometimes they’re right, sometimes they’re wrong, but their quest is mine, and theirs inspires mine.

Oh yes you’re right!

Very interesting story but: why are the books in the wrong side?

No, I love them unconditionally. But the level of affection I show change according to certain parameters, one of them being how much they are affectionate themselves. Affection is not the only way to show love, though.

I wouldn’t say the RSF is atheistic, but it’s a secular group, in a country which was islamist until 2019. Officially, the regular forces are secular too, as the religions and the State were separated after the protests of 2018-2019, so it’s not the main difference.

I’d say it’s mainly a fight between two dictators who tried to form an alliance but were not capable of sharing the power. There’s a little more ideological diversity within the regular forces though, as the RSF is deeply and strongly Arab-supremacist.
