Never - he was a Jewish prophet. Christianity was invented by Paulus.

It was worse. The difference is that now companies are making money off of scaring you with headlines so that you will click, click, click …

It’s your assumption that I’m not right. That’s fine.

There are plenty of diverse opinions here. You just don’t recognize them as such since they’re expressed respectfully instead of polarizing.

Correct, but the troll infested discourse in other places polarize everything on purpose to sow discord in society. In Real Life people really are better at voicing different opinions without it looking like pure hatred.

You’re just used to seeing troll factory inflamed opinions on other platforms. On ad-supported social media moderators don’t ban the trolls because “user number go up!”. On the fediverse each user is a cost so when we find bad actors we simply eject them promptly.

My experience is the opposite actually. I do browse All on Lemmy though just to be able to surface interesting stuff.

Well as one of those persons who did development on home computers in the 80s I know exactly how they spread … :) Bootsectors mostly, but there were some that hid themselves in executables too. You copied a disk from a friend, ran it and the virus was then resident in memory until you turned the computer off again. Any new disks you inserted would be at risk of getting infected.

Remove one instance of “internet” from the question and you’ll get serious answers.

I drive a Volkswagen ID.7 since soon 2 years now, had a Tesla Model 3 before that. Absolutely love the VW. It’s a “real car” with manual controls where you expect them yet all the modernities you can imagine. The AR HUD is absolutely awesome giving you all the relevant information incl. navigation where you’re looking without having to take your eyes off the road.

There’s a big screen as well though, but it’s not something you have to poke at to do regular stuff as in Teslas.

I built a $700 Bazzite-based Steambox with some parts used and the Steam Machine seems about par on performance and is both better looking and has additional features so … yeah
