I would have no problem if that popped up in my feed while I was in a public place.

That said, I don't think it would be safe for work, so the nsfw would apply. But I would not be browsing Lemmy at work either.

That is a bit of a selection bias. What you are effectively saying is "the biblical names that have survived to today have staying power".

But even that isn't true here as almost all of the names you cite are significantly different now than their original forms. Looking at your list we have Yeshua, Shemuel, Mikael, Rivka, Yohanan, Miriam, and Paulus. Adam is mostly the same, as is David (with a bit of an accent difference), but the rest didn't exactly emerge as they were.

My understanding is that it is working much better now than a few months ago. I haven't actually put it to the test yet, but it is on my list of things to try once I have time to set up my index again.

Separation of church and state is not in the Constitution. The closest you will get is the first amendment, which prevents Congress from establishing a religion, or preventing the free practice of one.

I'm with you that religion should not be forced in schools, but you can't use the Constitution to prevent this particular issue.

The point being that isn't in the Constitution

There is no current game I want to play that doesn't run on Linux. Valve really has done an amazing job with proton and getting games to work as well or better on Linux.

Now, that said, I am not big into competitive multiplayer, so take that into account. Anti cheat is still a problem since most of the current ones need permissions that are not normally given on Linux.

Well it was about that time I realized this judge was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the plethazoic era.

Whataboutism doesn't suddenly make the action ok. Two countries doing something wrong doesn't suddenly excuse the act.

Having been in the military, I find it hilarious and accept that it is not a place everyone should be. The recruiter likely has a very similar realistic understanding of where the military stands with people right now.

My power comes from the two sets of solar panels and batteries on my land. It is possible to do without fossil fuels. We're not there yet for everyone, but the problems you point out are solvable, and if solar/EVs had the same amount of backing from the government over the same timeframe that gas/ICE cars have had, we would be in a very different place right now.
