Doing a Fasting project for my "Christian Spirituality and Prayer" class. My partner and I chose to fast from all digital technologies for 1 hour per day. It starts in 3 days, so we'll see how this goes :D

Psychology doesn't work by just declaring someone is mentally ill because they think differently than you. I will say this flat-out - this is a dangerous ideology that led to the oppression and killing of *a lot* of people, and goes against the very core of what we have established with modern science. Homosexuals were once considered mentally ill, for example. Christians and Jews were killed for the first 300 years of Christianity's existence because they were different from the polytheistic greek/roman religion that was popular at the time. At least have the decency to recognize the damage the Enlightenment had, leading to racism via Social Darwinism, and co-opting of evolutionary theory to justify oppression.

Fun Fact: Some Jewish traditions have developed the notion that God gives you your soul (spark/breath of life) at/near birth. Therefore, your soul already pre-existed your physical body. Additionally, when you sleep, your soul goes back to God for the night, and then when you wake up, your soul is given back to you, and that's why you thank God for "giving me back my soul in mercy" right when you wake up. There are similar-ish conceptions of this in other religoins like Hinduism where everyone has an Atman - a divine spark - that reincarnates with the goal of getting off the cycle/wheel of life (samsara) and merging with the Brahman - the transcendent divinity within the world.

"charity is a two-way process. One receives even as one gives. This should remind us, according to the Vilna Gaon, that one who gives today may have to receive tomorrow." - Etz Hayim (p. 523, Intro to Ki Tissa Parshah)

"Avarice suggests a lengthy old age, inability to perform manual labor, famines that will come along, diseases that will arise, the bitter realities of poverty, and the shame there is in accepting goods from others to meet one's needs" - Evagrius Ponticus

Being "nice" on the surface means nothing if you veil your insults under sarcasm, jokes, "politeness", and snide remarks.

Fun Family History Fact: My mom was born in California near a military base, I believe, since her father was in the military. He was also a pastor.

For any gemini server developers here, make sure that the matching/checking of the domain name is case-insensitive. It looks like a few servers are case-sensitive with this, which goes against the URI spec.

Soon my Ponix server will go through a rebranding, so lookout for that. The certificate and domain name will also change.

I love how people claim Lagrange is so bloated when it's one of the ones that doesn't even use a GUI library - the GUI is completely custom - and tries to use very few libraries. I suspect the people that are hating on how "bloated" it is are just being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.

Saying that people should be forced to not use or advocate for a popular browser that they like is deliberately oppressive and these people need to know how dangerous this idea really is. What reduces a "monoculture" and "monopolies" is more competition, not forcing people to use or not use specific browsers. The latter is called taking away people's freedoms.

So, just had a trackfire of an argument about using compressed files in geminispace on the mailing list. I should have known it was not going to be productive, lmao. Just for anyone that doesn't know, the Gemini spec doesn't prevent or "outlaw" specific filestype from being downloaded over the protocol - that'd be called censorship, basically. Letting browsers open compressed files is not against the spec, whatsoever.
💬 1 Reply · 2 Thumbs · 8 months ago
You may have your opinions on what gemini client you like to use, but getting mad at someone for supporting a client they like and looking down on a person for wanting a certain feature in a client is very insulting and not productive. People are allowed to like the browser they like. You don't get to force people to like or hate what you like or hate.
