Are We That Helpless? | Tennessee Bible College https://www.tn-biblecollege.edu/08/are-we-that-helpless/

It is high time for people to take personal responsibility, to have some courage, and to stop acting like helpless children. This is not about being stubborn and proud. It is about using the mind God gave us. It is about having the strength to listen to the lessons of history and common sense. It is about trusting in God and His Word instead of being addicted to the news.

One of the best things I've read lately.

@nvk exactly. Even if they truly were safe and super effective I would never support forced vaccination.

I approve of the way Drew DeVault characterizes the Apple CP scanner:

> Police to begin regular, warrant-free searches of homes for child abuse material

ClassicPress (democratically run fork of WordPress 4.9) shows a lot of promise. They have a LOT of documentation work to do.

I should join that project and work on the docs.

Follow Zuby on Twitter. He has understood everything.

Offences commited during Feeding of the 5000 (in the bible):

* no covid-safe plan, greater number of people than maximum gathering size, no masks, no QR check-in enforced, no covid marshals, no per-square-metre density limits or enforced social distancing
* no gluten free, low sodium or vegan option (medical, faith based discrimination)
* no toilets provided, no infant care facilities, and no disability access (OH&S laws violation)
* No refrigeration, fish out of fridge > 2 hours, no valid food handling certificate, no council licensed food premises to serve from (Food Safely laws)
* No 'working with children' checks, police checks, or "working with children and vulnerable adults" training and guidelines (Duty of Care)
* Event staff weren't wearing proper identification
* No qualified first aiders or paramedics were organised to be in attendance
* No liability insurance

These things are all well and good, by the way. I don't mind that we do them, it just feels a bit ridiculous sometimes.

Here's a little thing that may not be obvious to many people....

When you install an open-source app from Google Play or the Apple app store, there is no guarantee that what you install actually matches the public code.

@fdroidorg are doing a great service. They independently build the public source code for apps from scratch, review for common issues, and publish their builds. Thanks to "reproducible builds" it's possible to verify they do not tamper with the code.

@aral, I don’t think the @fsf has ever issue any statement similar to JS is dangerous. I think its official stand is only against non-free software, which includes client-side code. GNU LibreJS is recommended by the foundation instead of disabling JS all together.

Mozilla is basically a not-for-profit/for-profit that protects/violates your privacy.

I don’t understand why some people are confused. It’s really quite simple.
