We’ve got some strong Star Trek nonsense brewing in !tenforward@lemmy.world

I don’t care if it catches on, I’m enjoying it here where the people are still awesome.

I skimmed that link and it’s pretty interesting, I’ll have to spend more time on it. I definitely liked the part at the end about God being the observer in this context, so what’s a day to him.

Thanks for that

I don’t see why God must be incompatible with evolution or the Big Bang or really any of science. God created us to be clever, surely that includes using logic and science to learn about the world.

Personally I’m agnostic and I try not to judge people. I do judge people who dismiss science and decide faith alone is better.

Also this doesn’t say anything about the Earth.

Plus you can give a liberal reading of the bible to be:

1. god created the heaven and the earth. God created the heavenly bodies.
2. God created the sky - earths atmosphere and climate
3. God separates oceans - creates continental forms, and plant based life
4. God creates the moon and sun and stars. This one seems out of order to me… maybe just the earth and solar system stabilize. I don’t know how plants exist without the sun, so maybe it’s microbes or something.
5. God creates birds and sea creatures. Maybe birds are dinosaurs.
6. God creates modern land animals, then creates man and woman. That makes sense, mankind is certainly new with only a few hundred thousand years of records before civilization starts.

That doesn’t have to imply the earth is 4000 years old. Even the original wording could be read as eon instead of day.

I certainly hope so. It’s been great seeing PopOS and Linux Mint pushing the bar on what a good linux desktop experience can be.

I’d love to see Linux become a stronger competitor to macos (which is what I’ve used for almost 20 years).

Adium was awesome, that was the golden age of computing and the internet in my opinion.

I miss Adium, I used it for a bunch of protocols, and I customized the CSS/html to make it look really awesome.

I had an app called snakeskin or something to skin my Mac OS X to be dark themed.

Nudge

It’s a great way to save on number boards

Surely that can’t be uniform random though

But they’re just using it for a seed, so the output would be impossible to predict, but it feels like a checksum or something would approach a Gaussian distribution (the more numbers you add up, the more Gaussian it would be, since we know an image will have a mean and finite variance).

Is there evidence of this happening?

And if so, I think I would just plug it into an old router via ethernet with no external connectivity.

Yeah I remember when they rolled that out… it does not give me hope for the future of privacy.

Canada needs to really ramp up our privacy laws, I’m not crazy about GDPR specifically, but there needs to be something more substantial here.

Correct

Never connect your tv to the internet.

Hey boss, I’m logging this ticket as tech debt. We need to take this on to hit our marketing deadline, and as soon as the project is over we need two scrum cycles to resolve it.

Two years later…

This ticket has been open forever, can we just delete it since nobody is ever going to clean this up? It’s messing up our velocity metric.

How did GRRM get rich again?

oh yeah he sold books he worked on for decades, totally the same WB.

It’s a separate but adjacent problem.

No school should ever be allowed to take the doors off bathroom stalls.

That just seems to be the alternative that don’t places are doing to deal with kids congregating in the bathroom to vape.
