Butlerian Jihad, NOW!
This is *exactly* the rationale that the US gave to invade Iraq.
The metaphysical significance of Satan, in Western tradition, has always been rebellion against God for choosing Man to be His favoured child. The Adversary is fundamentally associated with dethroning the primacy of Man in the cosmos, replacing it with the inert World.
Good. High time the US got some competition.
I think the two are intimately related, even if you don't realize it.
Microbes die when boiled, and stars perish when they run out of nuclear fuel. What's your point?
Hard disagree. Last point seems incredibly misanthropic. Forgive me if I'm not so eager to roll over and die.
Is Gossip better than the iris.to desktop client?
Since then, Obama and Biden have only kept up with the proud tradition.
I always got the distinct feeling that Mastodon is for thin-skinned, whiny people.
I’m a Linux noob — I’ve never used anything other than Ubuntu, but I’d like to explore more. What should I do next ?
Iris Desktop is here! No more dependency on Iris.to domain name, hosting provider or internet access. This version doesn't have the autoupdater, so I can't even push broken versions.
Macos, Windows and Ubuntu versions available. They're built by Github CI, so they're unsigned for now. You'll have to override the "unidentified developer" warnings. Mac instructions: https://www.macworld.com/article/672947/how-to-open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer.html

Nice! Good to see some love for macOS Intel platform 🙂

Two features I believe nostr should have:
1. Private message metdata must be private.
2. The user must have the final say in deleting anything they've signed.
Forceful revolution + cultivating mass popular consciousness and support; at historically opportune moments. The Dialectic of History can't be short-circuited. No way out but through.
Excellent question. The answer is yes, and no.
Capitalism by itself is not antithetical to Christianity (or even Communism, for that matter). It is considered a necessary, even welcome, stage in History. The catch here is that this applies only to Industrial Capitalism.
On the other hand, Finance capitalism, and the entire apparatus required to sustain and propagate it globally, *is* antithetical to Christianity. It's Mammon.
