That's an impoverished view of the writings attributed to Paul in the NT. He's also called the author of stuff like 1 Corinthians 13.

A sampling:

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, 5 it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, 6 it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

this certainly wouldn't be a problem for Catholics since, like most Christians today and basically all Christians before the 18th century, they aren't biblical literalists.

The integralists and post-liberal techbros are gonna get together to make an AI sedevacantist pope for their little fiefdom. Which would certainly explain why a gay billionaire would pick JD Vance as his political protege

Because the current admin needs someone to pin this on to appear competent and strong because that's the foundation of their entire worldview. And they need him to fit an ideological profile so they have something to point to as justification as they continue to escalate their response to political dissent.

Case in point: Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air for deviating from the accepted party line because the FCC threatened ABC/Disney with retaliation.

yeah, I personally just check the fridge the night before and write down what I need.

I know I'm on the "technology" community of an internet website but I find that adding computers to something that is sufficiently addressed with some forethought and a piece of paper is just making things unnecessarily complicated. Call me Ted K I guess lol

it's easy to do something in the heat of the moment when passions are running high (and your favorite show is in-between seasons) but let's see where the boycott is in 6+ months after everything has cooled down and about 300 other new little fires from the current admin have come and gone from the headlines. That's the true measure of these kinds of "low temp" protests.

the rampant consumerism in nerd spaces seems to disprove the Lemmy title in the large, even if this specific example indicates the opposite wrt marketing by software firms aimed at developers.

the only thing I could think of with a smart fridge is being able to check the contents from your phone while you are at the store to see if you need milk or whatever...but that's not really a problem that justifies ads and the absolute invasion of privacy and the fact that the thing is likely about as secure as a wooden fence on a bank vault
