Beeper is partially open source and I've used it for many years now.

I understand and completely agree from someone who is knowledgeable about this subject matter. However, MOST people are NOT. To clarify again, (and this is something that is getting very annoying to repeat over and over again) the general public have almost NO knowledge about the differences between operating systems.

Microsoft Windows is heavily marketed and, for most of the general public that aren't aware of Linux, is a cheaper option compared to Apple/Mac/iOS.

I worked with/on Windows for two decades. Through those years I became more and more frustrated with the bugs and vulnerability to outside attacks. Windows is going to be attacked more, and for other reasons, because it is used by more people (a greater attack surface to exploit).

Back in 2008 I switched to Apple/Mac/iOS. I have never regretted it.

IF you have the time/knowledge (which most of the general public doesn't have) to use Linux, then I'd recommend it.

Please, stop with this 'fan-boy' shit about operating systems. Use logic and rational thinking which I believe that I've shown above.

I've been involved with the academic study of the biblical texts for a long time. I am the founder of 'Ask Bible Scholars'.

These texts are rife with bias, politics, metaphor etc. Furthermore, how these texts were understood and/or interpreted is heavily explored in what academia has named 'reception history'.

Personally, I am a 'theist' in the sense that I believe that there is something 'higher' or there is something going on that is outside of our earthly reality. To put it another way, I believe that consciousness continues past human existence.

I am a critic of religion. However, I believe that Saul (i.e. Paul) said it best.

And now faith, hope, and love remain, these three, and the greatest of these is love. - 1 Corinthians 13:13

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

This love has carried me through five decades of life without fault.

The Dems must know that they can beat Trump with another nominee. Otherwise, they would not have been pressuring him to step down over the last several weeks.

I love the Diablo franchise, so I'm playing both Diablo 3 and Diablo 4.

Doesn’t matter.

It matters that Trump does NOT get elected.

Still need more pressure to keep project 2025 from never seeing the light of day.

Yes, of course.

Playing video games, lawn mowing, taking the dog for walks and hanging out with my two sons.

...women coming to the polls to vote for their reproductive rights might skew the numbers more in favour of Democrats, independent of polling.

Precisely!

I watched it. The fear of waffling instead of confidence. I get it. I understand. However, I'm just one person. In the end, the Democratic party will choose what to do. Personally, I believe that it would be disastrous to have Trump (and his cronies) in office again. So, my choice comes down to voting for whoever is the opponent of Trump.
