Kolanaki lore

This is the type of story I was expecting on Lemmy

Exactly. Isn’t this essentially the Israeli Palestinian conflict because the Jews once owned the land? Then the Arabs settled for a few hundred years, then the Jews come back and are like “Mine” and now the Palestinians want it back again? Something like that. Was probably owned by some canaanite tribes before either of them as well.

Why can’t we just maintain the older bits ourselves

Keep playing poverty olympics with your fellow working class while the billionaires hoard another billion

I don’t know why we can’t just build off of Android. Just build one without google play services and good alternatives.

That’s not FOSS

You’d need it to be able to run android apps

My unpopular opinion is that we should federate with threads. “Embrace extend extinguish” would depend on existing fediverse users migrating to threads. Quite frankly, I don’t see that happening. In fact, if there’s no federation, there’s more incentive to use threads to have a presence.

Embrace extend extinguish, if done on the fediverse, may cause an uptick in signups on other instances, and when extinguished, a portion of those users would leave.

With the Google Chat / XMPP thing, people were using Google Chat, had xmpp support, it was cool, then google pulled the rug so users seemingly dropped.

I don’t think Meta has enough goodwill at all to even convince it’s own users to return to it’s platforms these days. I think Bluesky is more of a risk as it claims to be decentralised to rope people in, but isn’t.

Why would they protest and make it opt in? The whole point of the fediverse is that your posts are completely public. Literally anyone and anything can scrape it, your server would hand it to them on a silver platter. That’s the point.

What’s wrong with wordpress

I think he had it by birthright but just had to claim it/exercise it. So technically in the eyes of the law he was always British. But that doesn’t change the fact he chose to exercise it

It uses the camera to tell

He became br*tish

I love the liberties it takes as well. As someone who is Autistic, having Matthew there is very pleasantly surprising and enjoyable. You can see why they made the choices that they did. Like Matthew’s attention to detail and helping Jesus with the sermon on the mount (which makes sense because Matthew wrote the most about it) or Peter being a big hothead (which makes sense due to the ear incident)

The Chosen

How would you explain the omnipotence paradox?

Literally sounds a lot worse. Imagine telling your friend in Europe from the USA “ugh, I have to get up at 10 AM for work!” And the european responds with “10am is pretty late!”
