Given Christianity's dominance in US, Trump raises eyebrows with anti-Christian bias initiative
  • How is Christianity dominant if an Antichrist is president?

  • If you could rearrange the days in a week, what would your ideal month look like.
  • Personally I prefer it starting on Sunday, but also here with Portuguese being the main language it only makes sense to start on Sunday, Monday to Friday are called second-fair, third-fair, fourth-fair, fifth-fair, and sixth-fair. Fair as in either market or festival.

  • Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.
  • Hello from Mastodon.

    All of these "talk" ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.

  • Learn to code
  • I will never not complain about bugs that obviously someone put in the effort to do the wrong thing when the correct would have been easier.

  • My heart goes out to shell programmers who have to support posix sh
  • I usually only use the terminal when I don't find an alternative, but powershell usually feels a bit saner than bash.

    I've also tried nushell, also nice, but in a few situations powershell despite usually being verbose was more "elegant".

  • My heart goes out to shell programmers who have to support posix sh
  • I'm glad powershell is cross-platform nowadays. It's a bit saner.

    Better would be to leave the 1970s and never interact with a terminal again...

  • Time travel is easy, it's just lame
  • For the "present" of the rest of the universe it is just empty space, the Solar System is in a bubble of spacetime completely disconnected from the rest and continuously shifted 15 minutes.

  • Time travel is easy, it's just lame
  • It is a plot point in the sci-fi series Perry Rhodan, where they push the whole solar system 15 minutes into the future (iirc) to hide it from the rest of the universe.

  • Meritocracy of Serving Capital
  • What I know is that in medieval times gender roles were much more flexible and "undefined", and it was Enlightenment that pushed for strict categorization and definition of these things.

    If you are thinking about that letter from Paul, I won't claim to know for sure, but it might have been a prohibition in a specific situation, as it's a personal letter, and in another Paul highly praises many female leaderships in church.

  • Meritocracy of Serving Capital
  • Yes?
    That's what I meant.
    And it became much worse after the justification of enlightened "reason".

    The Protestant Reformation is an odd case in that while Martin Luther may have been misogynist, it succeeded because there were a number of very strong female leaderships (specially his wife). These women were only pushed to the sidelines when the cultural Enlightenment pushed the church into a congealed orthodoxy.

  • Meritocracy of Serving Capital
  • It's exactly about those that I'm talking about.

    I'll just partially disagree on the phrasing of "religious beliefs like racism and misogyny". Yes, there was misogyny in the Church, but it was not so strong before. And racism was "invented" and retroactively connected afterwards.

    It's what I learned in school and through my life, but I don't have sources on that.

  • Meritocracy of Serving Capital
  • The Enlightenment and Positivist narrative is problematic, even before there was Capitalism.
    Many things that are blamed on previous times are actually products of the "enlightenment", later like Capitalism may as well.
    Like:
    "Now that we don't live in the darkness of superstition anymore and are enlightened by reason, we now know that a woman's place is in the kitchen, and black people's place is serving the white, until they are enlightened as well".

  • What's making it into the good parts, my fellow philosoraptors?
  • As a theology nerd:
    All the parts that show that The Path of Christ is sacrificing oneself for the freedom of the "lesser".
    Which I'd say is most of the Bible, much of the early Fathers' writings, a lot from Martin Luther (I know he also has some really evil stuff, leave those out), most of Bonhoeffer's, a lot of C. S. Lewis, and certainly a lot more im forgetting.

  • Pointers for writing software tutorials
  • Unpopular opinion: it's not the 1970s, if you begin with terminal/command line you already failed.

  • Hope you had a great christmas
  • Brazil certainly should be broken down by state, I imagine the USA as well.

    My state in south Brazil has VERY strict controls on animals entering the state so we can use less antibiotics and other stuff.

  • Flu surges in Louisiana as health department barred from promoting flu shots
  • Hopefully I'm wrong, but that's what I learned of the world. If I'm being disingenuous it's not intentional.

    Search images of "favela", tens of millions of Brazilians live in those, and Brazil is one of the "developing" countries; most countries are poorer.

  • My favorite Goya painting
  • A curiosity: despite the common interpretation, the intended meaning of the original painting if there was any, is unknown. It was found on a wall of his house after his death.

  • Christmas music
  • Why? The 12 days of Christmas go until January 5-6 😉
