@indie1337@vivaldi.net Do you have a celebration for the Resurrection?

@techlore Don't get me wrong, both are bad. But the idea that a piece of software commonly installed on American devices is under the control of China, an enemy, is pretty concerning. Data mining as a general practice is just one of the concerns.
We don't enjoy installing closed-source software from the country we're in, much less installing closed-source software in bulk from an enemy overseas.

@cyberghost@fosstodon.org @tblock Over 4 million... wow!

@survey I'd like to say advanced — I'm certainly not a beginner — but truly, I'm not advanced yet. I'd say intermediate.

Art is an interesting thing. A picture is worth a thousand words, and art has the potential to change hearts and convey meaning at a deep level.

AI art cheapens art.

I'd really hate for meaningful artwork, something that required dedication and heart to create, to be generated at a mere text prompt....

@RevEricBurrowsStone That's OK. Thanks!

@avoidthehack @mullvadnet Worth noting that the article is written by a VPN organization, which could have motivation to lie on this topic. I'm not saying they did, and the article relies on direct quotes a lot which is nice. (I still think it is good content and I'm #boosting!)

@Aslanmane I've been thinking a bit about church unity lately. Some denominations and branches are so tight on what they believe that they don't work together with other denominations and branches. One might hear names like Baptist Health Care, Lutheran World Relief, and Catholic Relief Services. Have you noticed how many Christian organizations' names have the branch or denomination in the name? This makes more sense for church names, but for other organizations...? Are we that divided?

@Aslanmane Oh, I'm talking about *before* marriage. Once you're married, it would (should) take something MUCH, much bigger to part the two.

@Aslanmane I doubt that a Protestant+Catholic marriage would be a good idea. Especially with children — how could you raise them and train them in Jesus, together? Every other Sunday go to Catholic mass, every other Sunday go to a Protestant service? What about the Apocrypha? Tell them it might be true ...? do you teach it or not?

@indie1337@vivaldi.net Well, if everyone is special, then no one is normal.

@indie1337@vivaldi.net Thinking about what happens with apples in pies, I could see apples being good on pizza.

@zomda Looks like he or she is playing with something dangling above :)

@RL_Dane Well, better days are bound to come!
