The optimistic view is that this was an intern project… But the fact it was funded by two councils?

I didn’t like it honestly. A main issue is, for example, the first prompt, if you download a video, it assumes you will share it. Or if you “explore the topic further” you go on a racist rant. I would have rathered the character explores further and finds out it’s BS or something of that nature. The tiktok scene is stupid, where if you “do your research” you get radicalised, so the correct option is to “just ignore it” and then you find out apparently a charity is doing something the government stopped doing (how is that a good thing???).

Then at the end you nearly get arrested if you attend a protest. Not a good message to send.

Another issue is at some point it mentions an “encrypted” messaging app using the term “encrypted” like it’s a spooky ghost and automatically bad.

Also quite sloppy how when you do choose the correct option you literally lose all of your friends. Couldn’t they have had you do research and debunk your friend’s claims?

A de-radicalisation programme would have been very good, but I think this one actually in fact backfires. Part of me suspects it was even made by someone on that side of politics as a sabotage tactic, it’s that bad.

It could have been a great concept with many outcomes. But nope.

I think the best way to actually make someone less racist in the youth is to create an environment where they can befriend immigrants

Goth is when choker

I presume it’s just AI

No.

That sounds an awful lot like eugenics…

minimum requirements

Like what? White, middle class, heterosexual…?

You know this will essentially be taking human rights away from the most marginalised people?

Are we seriously trying to normalise eugenics now? This is the second post I’ve seen doing so in like a week

How would you enforce this? Most likely murder whether or not it is a pre or post birth abortion

He had 12 witnesses who saw the plates

That sounds like a frontend issue

That sounds like a frontend issue. Not a protocol issue

In what ways?

I think instead of promoting Lemmy as a whole, promote individual instances separately (but evenly)

Isn’t that Matrix?

ActivityPub wouldn’t work because it’s not a messaging protocol. It’s a publishing protocol. The closest thing you have is Lemmy- where you have a server (instance) with channels (communities).

It’ll be easier to achieve something like this using SMTP (email protocol) than with ActivityPub.

Matrix and XMPP are your best bets (although XMPP doesn’t necessarily natively have video call, usually you’ll have an accompanying TURN server)

What you can do with email, xmpp and the fediverse is have the same username. It is possible for someone to make a platform which gives you one name and it accepts email, xmpp and fedi. Unfortunately, Matrix, for some strange reason uses the format of @name:server instead of the standard name@server (activitypub might use @name@server but that’s close enough and a lot of lemmy frontends don’t even care for the initial @. In reality that initial @ is probably just being used to ping them, now realising.)

The European Union has an ideological focus on the death penalty, but I would like to ask them if they have a better solution.

Mr Branson is entitled to his opinions. These opinions may be widely held in the UK, but we don’t accept that Mr Branson or others in the West are entitled to impose their values on other societies. Nor do we believe that a country that prosecuted two wars in China in the 19th century to force the Chinese to accept opium imports has any moral right to lecture Asians on drugs.

Nothing we have seen in the UK or in the West persuades us that adopting a permissive attitude towards drugs and a tolerant position on drug trafficking will increase human happiness. Where drug addiction is concerned, things have steadily worsened in the UK, while things have steadily improved in Singapore.

Man they are absolutely cooking here. Both in calling out the white supremacist attitudes of the west and in being rational.

I think the home screen is just Niagra launcher

That’s because there is an objective morality and we know the differences between right and wrong naturally. But society can twist them, and it is now and has done many times before.

But let’s also not pretend that God’s rules are all great, either. If the guy who enacted a worldwide genocide and commands fathers to kill their sons is your moral compass

You are seriously taking these concepts out of context to the point of dishonesty. For the “commands fathers to kill their sons” I assume you mean the narrative about Abraham and Isaac. The whole point of that is in a world where people were being sacrificed to a god, the true God didn’t require human sacrifices from men. In fact, the whole story in of itself is a prophecy

Genesis 22:8, 11-14

Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together.

But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.

Interesting that it was said that God will provide a lamb, but instead there was provided a ram?

So Abraham called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide” as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”

It shall be provided.

John 1:28-29

These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

As for the flood- That is just God purging evil from the world. He is well within His rights to do that.

Fair. Most of the pixel’s magic is in it’s software.

Looking at the site, it appears to have everything. Even qi wireless charging

What’s so bad about the camera? I’m no expert, it advertises a high megapixel but I know enough that megapixel doesn’t mean everything

It’s weird how it’s being advertised as a second phone - it looks like it has the same capabilities of any other android phone? Just a smaller screen and a physical keyboard

not wanting anything to do with the mass murderer Jesus is by no means “just”.

If you hate and oppose the literal embodiment of Perfection, then yes. Yes it is.

God knew it was made to torture humans, how can you tell? Because He uses it to torture humans. He describes their torture.

It’s described as the “The lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels” while heaven is described as “I am going there to prepare a place for you”

God knew they would be raped, because He commanded “His People” to enslave (and marry) them. The lucky ones were murdered.

You’re referring to the Old Testament now. Marriage was permitted at one point to captured women because the people’s hearts were hard and it was a concession. It instructed that she was to be afforded the privileges and dignity of a wife, and thus wasn’t a sex slave.
