I was a altar boy in my teens. One time in winter we had to attend a funeral. First we were in church, so I put on the white rope stuff during the mass. But then we had to go out to the graveyard for like half an hour more and stand there in the cold.

I told the priest that I would just quickly put on the jacket underneath because it was freezing outside. But he forbid in and said I should have thought of it before the mass and had it on under the ropes in church all the time because now there is no time for that. He forced us out without jackets into the freezing cold.

Right there I started thinking what kind of a priest do we have who cares more about dead people and make it convenient for them instead of the living. And if the priest represents god here in our community because he talks to him and can forgive our sins in his name and so on, then this is also gods will. So what king of a God am I worshiping here?

Anyway, I think that was the start of me stopping believing in God. I stopped being an altar boy, later stopped going to church and started actively researching those deeper questions around organized religion and god. Over time it led me to became an atheist who hasn’t seen any evidence for existence of any god.

Why doesn’t he move to China?

Uhm it looks very odd, like you somehow have miniature wrists.

Nice, when they introduced the AppStore I was convinced that this would happen within a few years and as a developer I moved off Apple products and towards more open hardware and software. I was confused why - while they did it from the start on iOS - they kept allowing side-loading on their computers. In the end they just tried to cook the frog slowly so it wouldn’t jump out of the saucepan.

PieFed also just shows one number.

1. They are to far away to reach us
2. If they have technology which would make it possible for them to travel faster than light, they have such high intelligence that they don’t recognize us as intelligent beings like we don’t recognize viruses as having any intelligence, so they would never think of visiting us and communicating with us.

What is the alternative?

I was thinking of changing the gender after the fact but was to lazy to edit it.

There is a difference doing it on the farm where it’s only up to some hours old and from the shop where god knows how long it was sitting somewhere without refrigeration.

God would never use VPN, he has nothing to hide.

Hm, Animals as leaders? But it’s not very thrashy.

A notes app for gnome and libadwaita which feels native with CalDAV as it’s Backend.

Now that you say it, I have seen her mom and aunts doing that on family gatherings, I never connected those two.

How would that limit anything? If the company changes their mind - like Twitter did with a lot of things, especially the API access - they just change the code and make your instance incompatible.

So do I understand it correctly that they are leaving Twitter, which was founded by Jack Dorsey who then sold it to Elon Musk while creating the alternative Bluesky which everyone is flocking to expecting that it will not be sold to the next billionaire?

Oh man congrats!

I remember when mine told me she is pregnant, I was so happy I wanted to jump!

After coming back from a year of parental leave I didn’t lose my job.

My previous project came to an end just before I went on parental leave and the company couldn’t secure new projects locally.

But because I was involved ipartially in a different department before, that department secured a internal budget for me as a Subject Matter Expert.

Now I’m advising on that topic and was also brought in to a big internal project, so my job is secured for some time now.

For me it’s extra difficult because I moved to a different country and have a really hard time learning the language, which is a must to get a different job here.

That a win for the whole health industry, think of all the people you will now need to treat of Polio, measles, tetanus and so on not to mentions all the grave diggers! This is a job creation machine! /s

Just FYI; Twitter and Reddit had API usage available free of charge for more than a decade too.
