Atheism Pamphlet (archive.org)
submitted 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) by illectrility@sh.itjust.works to c/atheism@lemmy.ml

Found this pamphlet in my mailbox this morning. I pretty much agree with it and I think I'll keep it for the next time Jehovah's Witnesses decide to show up way too early in the morning.

Edit: I linked the digital mirror that was printed on the back of the pamphlet. Also, it's CC0 which I think is cool

What's with these headlines? What's next? "How CO₂ may be influencing climate change"?

We've known this for more than 50 years. If policy makers won't start making fossil fuels adequately expensive (which they won't), nothing will change.

Mastodon, Kbin, Lemmy and such are "compatible".

Here's an example of how to do it:

Sorry but a word processor that doesn't trigger a 9 second laggy animation with every button press is just simply unusable

So, recently I was talking to a friend and somehow we got to talking about religion and stuff. When I complained that religion is often put on a huge pedestal and that it's really just a glorified opinion and should be subject to the same criticism as any other opinion, they told me that that was a really hot take.

According to them, belief and religion is more than just an opinion since it's such a big part of people's lives. I countered that opinions are also big parts of people's lives and personalities. I mean, a huge chunk of your personality is based on your opinions, right?

We agreed to disagree but I kept thinking about it. I don't get why religion shouldn't just be treated like any other opinion just because people tend to cling to it. I get that ~~it~~ people are emotionally invested but that's not just the case with religion but other opinions too. I would appreciate your thoughts to help me understand better, is it really a hot take?

I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask this, I also asked over at !python@programming.dev.

So what I want to do is this: Two RasPis are at different locations. They're on different networks but have internet access. Pressing a button on one of the Pis turns on an LED over at the other Pi via GPIO. How can I make the communication work? My first thought was Telegram bots as I'm familiar with those for notifications but you can't have Telegram bots communicate with each other, sadly. Is there a good (and secure) solution to this? Preferably using Python code and without continuous costs like server hosting, etc?

Thanks!

There is a point in everyone's education where they realize that their teachers are actually just adults, who are just old children, that went to school a couple years longer than you.

Mad respect to teachers though. I specifically remember my computer science teacher to be the coolest and most knowledgeable guy ever.

Not really no. It's a meme. Although, now that you mention it …

[-] illectrility@sh.itjust.works 156 points 4 months ago

Well first of all, fuck you smartass.

But also yes, you're right

It's Eternity now but yes it is

Mint is Ubuntu-based so yeah, most stuff will work.

But also: The only reason I don't recommend Ubuntu is because of Snaps and telemetry. If someone decides that they don't mind, I don't care. Everyone should just use the distro they like best

You can look into Organic Maps, it's FOSS and made for hiking

[-] illectrility@sh.itjust.works 22 points 9 months ago

Organic Maps and Magic Earth are awesome. The best I've had so far. Magic Earth is more optimized for driving, though if that is what you're looking for.
