I didn’t even like combined universes/mulitverses in comics in the 80s/90s.

It’s always been bad. We’re just seeing the same bad play out theatrically, now.

I don’t know what to tell you. The text hasn’t changed in nearly two millennia. It’s right there right now as it always has been.

It doesn’t say that at all, though.

The context here is explicitly It’s about Israelites - but even more specifically Jewish leadership (e.g. the Sanhedrin, of which Nicodemus was a member) rejecting Jesus status and authority as Messiah despite both the evidence and Jesus unambiguous claims.

See also Luke 7, where Nicodemus suggests his peers hear Jesus out, and they essentially reply: “Pfft, nobody from a redneck backwater like Galilee could ever be a prophet.”

Excuse? It’s a scathing rebuke to Nicodemus face.

Jesus claimed to be the Messiah, but this claim was rejected by Jewish leadership… yet Nicodemus (one of said leaders) visited Jesus under cover of darkness and pressed him further.

Read 16-21 again, remembering who Nicodemus was and that he did not visit openly, but secretly in the darkness, and that his line of questioning was patronizing at best, and bad faith at worst (which Jesus does not let him get away with).

How is that related to OpenAI’s app? It’s not an Apple product.

The quiet part once again being said out loud.

That Apple has any say whatsoever over competing App Stores means they are shirking both the letter and intent of EU law.

That’s an understandable sentiment, honestly. I constantly remind people that we - westerners living 2000 years in the future surrounded by magical objects and an utterly alien culture - were never the audience for these stories. As a result, almost all context is lost without a background in the history, language, and culture of the time.

Very little in scripture is mysterious… but modern “Christianity” has a vested interest in obfuscating and hiding the context.

The fig tree story was a scathing rebuke that was readily understood by Jesus followers. The Parable of the Minas is about the Resurrection of the Dead (the topic that incited the story was whether the Kingdom of Heaven was coming immediately). That is, at the end of all things, all those who have died will be raised from the dead and judged. The righteous, who did God’s work and reaped dividends for him, will be rewarded… and those who rebel (actively worked against him) will be annihilated… that is, truly, finally, eternally dead.

Most decent password managers (e.g. 1Password, Proton Pass) have MFA built-in. Use those.

The fig tree was a lesson, as Jesus was very fond of parables and “props” in his teaching. Israel is depicted in scripture as a fig tree, so the lesson was that Israel was not prepared for the arrival of the Messiah (which, as foretold, would have had no season) and would face harsh penalties as a result. The lesson was a rebuke of Israel, that through it’s own self-determined nature, it had failed to do what it had been commanded.

The second one you mention is a single line from a parable (specifically, The Parable of the Minas) that you have taken out of context.

In that case, I didn’t misinterpret you, either. You argued in favor of labor theft.

Yeah. There is no left wing party here. Decades of right wing propaganda have convinced our populace of the Ingsoc motto. 😭

Can we have some of this in the US, please? While we still exist.

Why do you care so much about defending unimaginably wealthy corporations stealing the labor of regular people?

See, now we have both misrepresented each others comments.

This is why I focus on distribution rather than training. If you commercialize a model trained on things you don’t own/license, and it generates anything remotely infringing, you should be fully on the hook for every single incident.

But if a model is trained and distributed freely as FOSS, then it’s up to anyone running it to ensure the output is not infringing. This protects fair use while also ensuring that big companies tread more carefully when redistributing models that can violate fair use by competing with those whose work was trained on without permission and are subsequently being emulated without permission.

Unfortunate, at that point we’ll all be history.

Thanks!

Is that because of the food products themselves, or because of the non-stick coatings frequently used to package/cook/brew/prepare them?

Ah. Ok, that makes sense!

Does the Android version already have gamepad support, or would it be touchscreen only?

I can’t imagine wanting to play a mobile game on Steam Deck… but having access to other native apps sure sounds like a win. Didn’t consider that.
