daddyjones , to Ask Lemmy in Seriously, where do I go?
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

Apparently I should live in Denver - no idea if that's actually good though.

What I need is one of these for places worldwide...

daddyjones OP , to Coffee in I know it looks more like a butt than a heart...
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

You're quite right - I should crack my way into my own little niche.

daddyjones , to Ask Lemmy in Chip Enjoyers - What's your favourite brand/type of chip?
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

Whilst I definitely enjoy proper chip shop fat chips, I'm also very partial to nice salty "fries".

daddyjones , to Ask Lemmy in How do you pronounce the "ques" part of "question" ?
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

Kwess

daddyjones , to Today I Learned in TIL the origin of the word 'dog' is an etymological mystery. (The same is true about the word 'squid' but obviously I already knew that.)
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

AH yes - I thought it must be an American thing.

Yeah - I reckon it must be an American thing.

Who on earth calls their feet "dogs"? I've also never heard of "putting on the dog", but that's probably just because. 🐶

daddyjones , to Linux Gaming in Best Graphic card for Linux Gaming
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

and each closed-source drivers version only works with a single kernel version. It might work OK as long as the drivers and kernel are kept in sync (I think Pop! or Nobara have nVidia specific versions for this reason), but otherwise each kernel upgrade is a risk.

Are you sure this is true? I make no attempt to keep my kennel and driver in sync and have never had any problems at all. I'm pretty sure you're wrong about this

Plus nVidia drivers are basically shit with Wayland and cause a ton of issues.

This is kind of true, but overstating. I use nvidia with Wayland also the time and, apart from some games, it works really well. Many of those issues will be fixed when explicit sync is released.

That all said, is she that AMD is currently best for Linux.

daddyjones , to Showerthoughts in "BeReal." FOSS alternative? Yes please!
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

You're often old? But what about the rest of the time?

daddyjones , to Ask Lemmy in What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

I hate the recent trend of using "onboarding". It sounds clunky to me and as if you're trying to sound all cool and up to date.

daddyjones , to Videos in Cat Distribution System
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

Wouldn't be a Wombat and would be a cat, so I'm going to pass.

daddyjones , to Asklemmy in What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

And that's fair enough. Claiming you can definitively disprove the existence of the Christian God and having some objections that you haven't heard a convincing response to aren't the same thing though...

daddyjones , to Asklemmy in What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

None of this is new or hasn't been thought about, written about and deflated for centuries. I doubt you have any theologians shaking in their boots.

The meaning of omnipotence as it translates to Good has always been nuanced. There have always been things God can't do - sin being the obvious example. You could debate whether he can, but just never would because of his character, but it amounts to the same thing and has been orthodoxy for centuries.

The apparent contradictions on the Gospels (especially synoptic) have been done to death. Debated and answered more times than you've had hot dinners. There is no serious theologian or biblical scholar who would hear that argument and be at all concerned by it.

Honestly the same applies to the idea of a good god and suffering.

daddyjones , to Asklemmy in What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?
@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

Unless you claim, as OP did, that you can actually disprove it.

I agree that the Bible is not sufficient in the sense that it proves anything or sews up their arguments, but to suggest its historical value as evidence is the same as modern day fiction is absurd.

@daddyjones@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, you said that, but what exactly?
