Agree. But that specific article seems pretty alright. Also talks about the relics and history records for example by Tacitus.

There also is a Wikipedia article which I think is not written that well. And a lot of education material by churches or religious organizations which I did not cite for obvious reasons.

(And the German Wikipedia article about sources for the historicity of Jesus seems very good. But it's not exactly OP's question and I don't know if it helps: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au%C3%9Ferchristliche_antike_Quellen_zu_Jesus_von_Nazaret )

Tl;dr: No.

My opinion: It's a nice story. And with stories the most important thing is what it teaches us or makes us feel. Not that it's true. Maybe they took inspiration from several preaching hippies who lived back then and made one story out of that. Exaggerated everything and made stuff up. Probably all of it because the bible was't even written close to his supposed lifetime. It'd be like you now writing a story about a dude who died in ~~1870~~. Without any previous records to get information from. [Edit: The first things have probably been written down like 40-50 years after his death.]

And I mean if Jesus existed, he would certainly disapprove of what people do (and did) in his name.

American values aren't important to them. They want different things. A strong leader, be heard, simple truths and/or some people below them to hate and pick on.

In the last few weeks, I frequently see some empty comments. It's just the username and no text beneath.

Is there a deeper reason behind this? Do people nowadays strip away the text instead of deleting a comment? Or did some script surface that 'makes the internet forget'? First I thought people did this before deleting a comment and the deletion just didn't get federated. But I scrolled through some older posts and they also still have comments like that, so that can't be it. Right?

Can anyone educate me?

Plug it into a computer and see what the computer says.

I usually use Linux for that because it offers good error messages and I know the tools. But other operating systems might help, too.

And if you start writing to the card or executing recovery tools, make a backup / image first.

If the files are very important, maybe don't tamper with it and ask for help. Like a repair shop, your local Linux community or any trustworthy computer expert friend.

The biggest enemy is probably encryption, if it's encrypted. The files are definitely still there if you just ripped it out. In the old days you could just run a recovery program and get everything back.

Correct answer. And this is going to help way more than adding a few trackers. Also consider doing the port-forward in your router, if you're behind a NAT and it doesn't do it automatically. That makes even more peers available.

FYI: There's also AnLinux, Linux Deploy, Termux, tainer, UserLAnd, ...

Some of them aren't maintained anymore. And they don't necessarily have hardware-acceleration. But don't all require root and system patches.

Sure. I buy tickets to their concerts, have bought CDs, movies, buy their game in the next Steam sale or on Humblebundle, rarely Patreon or support indie things on Ko-fi or whatever. I buy a novel if I enjoyed the first chapter(s) and want it on paper. Or go to the library. I just can't afford all the music and Spotify isn't paying the artists properly either. And I don't want a DVD collection, so for TV series they don't get money from me. Except for what the one streaming service I pay for forwards to them.

But reading that text like they tell you to do, is kind of an exercise in futility if you choose topic two. (the benefits of artificial satellites in telecommunications) I'd be angry at that point.

Look at the USA, UK or countries like China. I think they're all ahead if us. Leading in different fields. A skewed balance between capitalism and citizens rights, surveillance in general, and a dystopian surveillance state.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. The Github issue also is very helpful. Seems that's exactly my answer to "Why do I need a fourth store in addition to F-Droid, AuroraStore and Obtanium" 😉

Have a nice day, thanks for the STT keyboard! I didn't really engage in the discussion because I'm exactly in the same situation as other people here. I already have the FUTO one and Sayboard... But eventually I'd like to replace FUTO software with free software alternatives. I don't like their licensing. So this is very welcome.

Sure. There isn't any paragraph on how it compares to other appstores or why the author started the project in the first place despite several other stores being available.

So I'm looking for the selling point. (Aside from your App being available there.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (8 children)

Can someone enlighten me oabout the specifics of the accrescent.app appstore?

I guess it's somewhat like Obtanium in that it fetches releases packed by the original developers, just plus an index, metadata and signing, thus more convenient and secure? I guess it's open-source and everything? What are the unique benefits?

 

My laptop is getting old and i can't have Element eat up half of my RAM. There are many more clients out there but which one is good? aka "the best? ;-)

My requirements: lightweight, encryption 100% supported, active development/community. runs neatly 24/7 in the background.

Should also support the latest features, let me customize when to get notifications: priorities / muted chatrooms. And ideally also look clean and run on the Pinephone. But that's optional.

I don't care which desktop environment or cli.

What do you use?
