    He literally mass produced food for a crowd and gave it away for free. Fucking conservatives haven’t read their own manual, they just memorize some parts they like.

    He converts C into Rust which is also 200% more efficient

    The problem is, being omnipotent, he has intimate knowledge of every commercial product that has and will ever exist, so he automatically loses any lawsuit

      No no, that’s because he’s omniscient (all-knowing).

      Omnipotence (all-powerful) is why he wins every lawsuit despite having a legal disadvantage due to the omniscience you brought up originally.

      But maybe he’s into open source and just wants people to treat the authors better rather than port all their projects to a more memory-safe platform.

    he wouldn’t have been an American-style MAGA conservative, that’s for sure. “Let thy government abduct thy neighbors because they don’t have paperwork” is hard to imagine him saying…

    The amount of Bible verses with Jesus absolutely condemning the rich and the wealthy is overwhelming. And it’s not like “oh that’s open to interpretation”. He’s very clear in saying that rich people won’t go to heaven. He’s very clear in what to do with your money (help the poor and sinners).

    His entire message is about “living as he lived”. It’s amazing how much Christians in America have been able to completely remove all of those aspects by just saying “well, Jesus did that so we don’t have to. He died living a selfless life. All we have to do is ‘believe the story’”.

    It has to be the laziest, most American interpretation of a religion ever. It’s just fucking embarrassing to me though. Like, Im not Christian, but even I am embarrassed by most American Christians.

    There are exceptions. But, most Americans use their Christianity as a shield for being shit people. Their religion isn’t even Christianity, it’s capitalism, and worship of wealth. The Christians that go to church every week are much more interested in hearing their pastor talk about how Trump is enacting gods plan. They know talking points for why Trump’s not a pedophile, why Musk is a genius, or why trans kids in sports are destroying the economy. They couldn’t tell you what Jesus said about where Christians should “store their riches”. They’d probably say “a bank or a safe”.

      I’m a priest (Episcopal Church) and one of the things that I frequently remind my parishioners is that Christianity is intended to be a practice, not a belief. What’s happened is that the term “Christian” has been severed from any concrete form of practice (by utilizing the whole “faith, not works” thing and misconstruing it). When Jesus says “I am the way, the truth, and the life” He’s using active language (a way can only be walked, truth sought, life lived). But so many Christians have turned that saying into something about precepts.

        It’s the biggest thing about Christianity, its supposed to be a philosophy that you live your life on, not a get of jail free card or to sell you indulgences. One of the best books I’ve ever read was “christ vs religion” by Witness Lee. God came in the flesh to give us a way of life.

        I thought “wait, how does the awesome Pickard Maneuver not already know that?”

        But then I remembered instead to say

        Congratulations!
        You are one of today’s lucky 1000.

        I say 1000 rather than 10000 because I estimate only about 1/10 of the people I know know what copyleft is. Then again, I don’t wasn’t to assume you’re American randomly.

          I’m very surprised too. I’m on Lemmy a lot. I’ve been using Linux full-time for nearly a year now and learning about open source projects. Somehow that term has just slipped under my awareness until now.

            Thinking about it, I came across the terminology when I was deciding what licence to use for a side project I was coding, and it was on the webpages telling me about various licences folks use for open source projects.

            So I’ve only learned this term from looking at licensing from the other side of the table, so to speak, so I suspect that most people who aren’t programmers wouldn’t come across it because it’s not even included in the text of most licences. It’s a unifying concept, rather than a contract term.

            It’s always nice when I’m about to install some software and it says the name of a copyleft licence in aware of. When it says GPLv3 as the title, for example, I stop reading and say we’re good to go.

        The guy who first described the concept of FOSS is the same guy who popularized “copyleft”. Although by his own admission he wasn’t the one who first thought of the pun.

        On one hand, glad you like it and congrats on being part of today’s lucky 10,000.

        On the other hand, I’m a bit dismayed that the concept remains so obscure that even somebody extensively on Lemmy hadn’t heard of it. It’s a fight for freedom and your comment shows we’re losing harder than I realized.

    Scholars have long been mystified by what Jesus (who famously did not leave any autobiographical writings) was writing on the ground with his finger in John 8:6. Turns out it was early code for an open-source network based storage option.
