From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why do these exist? And I mean all those religious book reading applications collectively. Browsing through f-droid it feels like every third beginner's project is a Bible-, Torah- or Koran-reading app.

The short answer is they were indoctrinated from a very (too) young age to center their existence on it for no other tangible reason than that's what happened to their parents.

Edit: what a shock, objective fact gives the indoctrinated a big mad. 🙄

Go back to reddit. Im sure they miss your valuable input on religion bad. Certainly its not the same half baked drivel spouted by every college freshman.

I just love it when people make it easy to know who to block. Bye bye.

Bigots lke you always use "objective fact" when they mean their small-minded ideas they focus their bitterness/resentment on. If you had any evidence, you wouldn't need to refer to it in such a hyperbolic way.

Bigots

Snigger

Pot calling the kettle black.

If you had any evidence

ROFL didn't it occur to you how ridiculous that would sound coming from someone defending religious people?

It's kinda funny to see, I'm always surprised to see so many in the wild. My guess is just that it allows the developers to get familiar with the technology they're using by making a relatively straightforward kind of app, harder than a counter, but easier than a full-on data wrangling beast

That's my guess, as well. But is it really necessary to publish every single one?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

why not? publishing open source software is a good thing. the failure is in fdroids search and discovverability features imho

Your not wrong lol.

My personal reason was because I simply enjoy the historical aspect to it so I wanted to share it in a more accessible way
