Well, given that the world is pretty much on fire right now, it does feel a bit out of place to start rambling about Christian hypocrisy. So, like, yea, I get your point and I do believe most religious people are hypocrites (nor is that a phenomenon that only affects Christians), but...how about, if we want to follow that line of thinking, pointing the finger at the ''''''''''Jewish'''''''''' state and its genocidal '''leader''', that rabid dog no politician anywhere is willing to put a leash on? We would be talking about hypocrisy at a much, much higher level and it would be, at the veeeery least, as relevant...
...and you are figuring that out in 2025?
Yea, but The Church (or, since you're specifically talking about Gringoland, rather, churchES) are capitalist enterprises - hence you can't expect them to criticise capitalism (even less, capitalists).
This idiotic 'administration' is a porn parody of itself.
"Trumpin' Donald: America Fist"
They wanted America First, they gettin' it.
From a purely technical perspective, I am very interested in reading/researching just how they are planning to implement this.
From a social/democratic perspective, I am very interested in finding out just what the hell they mean by 'a well founded suspicion'. Interesting times ahead.
Turns out...You can't claim to be superior if you aren't superior. Who would have thought.

You're absolutely right. Sorry for that (admittedly catastrophic) omission.
It's 2025. If you are getting a 'free' software product, there's a chance of about 99,9% that the answer to that question is either 'analytics/tracking/telemetry/customer retention' or a combination of many or all of them.
'mostly open source'? I'm intrigued....
I love Lemmy.
Here we are, in this holy year of our lord 2025
Wondering if cats have post-nut clarity
Have you never had a corporate job? A technology can be very much useless while incompetent 'managers' who believe it can do better than humans WILL buy the former to get rid of the latter, even though that's a stupid thing to do, in order to meet their yearly targets and other similar idiotic measures of division/team 'productivity'
Congratulations !
Thx, corrected
It's also not the first or only 21st century technology that is or was waaaaaaaaay overhyped.
First it was the Blockchain
Then it was the Cloud
Now it's Artificial Stupidity.
We do. 'Spring fever' is very real. What's less clear is why.
I have a friend who was addicted to both cocaine and alcohol. While he, of course, is convinced that cocaine is one of the worst substances to have ever existed, he is even more wary of alcohol because of: (I'm obviously both paraphrasing AND excluding most countries with a Muslim majority here)
a) Social acceptance. No one is ever going to judge you for quietly sitting in the corner of a bar drinking your beer. Try snorting a line on the same setting and see what happens.
b) Availability. Even in sparsely populated areas, you are never too far away (say, a 10 minute walk) from a bottle of wine/spirit/beer.
c) Practicality (which is what answers your question). You don't need a syringe, spoon, knife, bill, bong or lighter, not even another recipient, to start binging on booze. Once you buy/steal the stuff, you're all set - and drinking something definitely IS more 'natural' (as in, it's a reflex) than injecting or smoking something.
Pink pussy 😈
Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example
The prequel to the 'A Quiet Place' saga got me thinking.
spoiler alert!
There is a scene in which many humans march towards a safety point. Each individual human would have been relatively quiet, but because there are a lot of them (potentially hundreds), they end up being, as a whole, loud enough to alert the monsters so they get all killed.
This would suggest that many sources of noise which are near to each other and generate more or less the same amount of noise end up adding up so that the end result in dB is more or less the sum of the individual dB levels.
But then again, it's fiction.
Back to reality, I work in a room full of different servers which have also very different levels of noise. I have noticed that from my standpoint, the noise of the quietest server seems to disappear whenever the loudest is running, so it kind of does blow my mind how our perception of noise works...
