It has some application in technical writing, data transformation and querying/summarization but it is definitely being oversold.

"Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Mk 12:17

Saints offer prayers to God. If you’ve ever asked someone to pray for you then you have done the same thing that the Orthodox do when they venerate an icon. No one is replacing God with Saints. Saints are only Saints because of Christs work in their life.

It’s funny hearing a Protestant make sweeping claims about what is or is not true Christianity.

Bingo

Lol did you even look at the poll that we’re all commenting on? Clearly people are over the immigration bullshit across the board.

Illegal entry should defacto prevent residency. We have to put a stop to it. This is historic levels of uncontrolled migration.

I have empathy. It’s just not expressed in the way you want it to be. Ultimately this is a humanitarian problem that shouldn’t exist but has snowballed into a massive quagmire that will require significant investment and policy changes. The most empathetic thing for the immigrant is to prevent illegal entry. If they have asylum requests they can come in through a port of entry. If someone comes in illegally there should be consequences since many immigrants did the lawful thing. Empathy is impossible with chaos. You have no idea who these people are or why they are coming. Many of these people are human trafficked and their families are under threat of narcos back home. The citizens of this country also deserve to be protected from unknown millions.

I can’t go to Ecuador and just live there. I’ll get kicked out.

Are you 14?

What’s your point?

I gave you my criteria. Whatever editorializing you want to add to it is your business.

Yeah they should wait to be processed. Currently they are apprehended and then let loose to go live in America while awaiting a court date they will probably not show up for.

Illegal immigrants should be first informed, second prevented from entering and third detained if they still decide to enter. They are law breakers by merely being in the United States without entering via port-of-entry or overstaying a visa. It shouldnt be dehumanizing but it must be manned and they shouldnt be allowed to leave. We have 23 million complete randos in this country. It’s neither okay nor sustainable and they should be sent back. Frankly if it is not profitable to be an illegal immigrant then they will stop coming (at least in such numbers). Ultimately the solution is prevention but no one wants to do anything about that be it physical barrier, more border guards or prosecution of American businesses. There is no kumbaya solution to this problem.

patriot act and seeing the continuation of right wing authoritarianism

The Patriot Act was an overwhelmingly bipartisan bill.

Cool I might get a test number to play around with before I consider porting my main one.

A well deserved rtfm

How is the call quality?

An Fdroid version of the app? Awesome. I’ll check this out. I started out on GV but left years ago when I degoogled.

Edit: How is the call quality?

I’m not a programmer but I’ve been using linux for over 20 years. It’s crazy to me that someone who develops software for a living would not just run Windows but have never meaningfully ran linux. 🤔
