TFM claims:
"If you believe Jews are the sole cause of Western problems, explain Rome. Their decline happened centuries later with no Jewish involvement."

Jews claim:
"They created Christianity to conquer the goy, Paul was a double agent, they destroyed Esau through Christianity, St. Peter was a rabbi who infiltrated Christianity to aid the Jews, etc."

Who do you believe?

Self identifying Jews who do not consider themselves Christians have told me that Jesus is not the Messiah because he failed to defeat Rome

But now I am told by based accelerationist Jesus is a made up story used to defeat Rome

Orthodox "Jews" certainly tell each other Jesus was real in their writings where they say he was a very bad man and is in burning excrement or semen

Where in their writing does it say we made up Jesus to trick the Goyim?

@shortstories
If you watched the video, then you would know they didn't say Jesus didn't exist, they said Paul was a double agent, who made up the magic tricks and the myth surrounding Jesus (who they believe was a regular Jew, not the messiah) to prevent Christianity from infiltrating Judaism in Israel and instead go convert the goyim, as Jesus supposedly wanted.

It's that simple.

What is the earliest Jewish written source to confirm that Jews taught that,

"Paul was a double agent, who made up the magic tricks and the myth surrounding Jesus (who they believe was a regular Jew, not the messiah) to prevent Christianity from infiltrating Judaism in Israel and instead go convert the goyim, as Jesus supposedly wanted."

Maimonides is after 1100 AD

These people on the video were filmed after 1900 AD

Source before 700 AD ?

@shortstories Are you for real? Look, if you don't believe the takes of the top influential rabbis on Judaism, that's fine. The point of this is to show what rabbis teach, this is what they preach in Israel.

Some of these rabbis also have youtube channels, you can send them money and ask for their pre-700 AD sources, if you're so inclined.

But there is no denying that Christianity is 100% Jewish and that Jesus did not perform any magic tricks, if he even existed at all.

Maybe their most recent take of the top Jewish Rabbis in the 20th and 21st century is that Christianity was a Jewish PsyOp but I am not convinced that Jews who were not Christian who were alive before 700 AD viewed Christianity as a Psyop created by Jews

Rabbis have a long track record of creating new stuff on the fly and claiming it was what they taught all along since ancient times

Clergy who call themselves Christian also do that

@shortstories According to these rabbis, most Jews didn't think Christianity was a psyop, it was simply a competitor to the mainstream form of Judaism at the time, with an army and everything. They were converting Jews in Israel to their side and the elites saw it as a threat. Only Paul, Peter and a few other top rabbis, knew about their plan to lead the Christians away from Israel and to turn the whole movement into a psyop for the goy.

"According to these rabbis, most Jews didn't think Christianity was a psyop"

"Only Paul, Peter and a few other top rabbis, knew about their plan to lead the Christians away from Israel and to turn the whole movement into a psyop for the goy."

So basically more than one thousand years later some Rabbis speculated that Christianity was originally created by other Jews as a PsyOp

But this is only their unproven guess about history

in reply to Based_Accelerationist

mastodon - Link to source

shortstories

The question is were they subverted or were they a psyop to begin with

But it would be very difficult for me to meet the academic requirements for a history paper with proper citations and get a A grade with the claim that I know 100% for sure that Christianity started out as a Psychological Operation By Paul & friends to convince Gentiles to become Noahides and that Paul & "eye witness" friends did not sincerely believe Jesus rose from the dead

in reply to shortstories

Based_Accelerationist

@shortstories Actually no, even at the time of Maimonides, some rabbis said that Christianity had been created by Hashem to bring the nations to the Jews.

This is what rabbis have been saying for a long time, now you have all the most influential ones on video repeating it.

Of course this is heresy to Christians but, as it's written in their bible: "You worship what you do not know, we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews."

First I think because of belief in Jesus whether or not Jesus existed the Roman Government was defeated and replaced by a combination of Churches and multiple governments

Second it was defeated over many centuries without violence

Third I think it's defeat was a good thing because in the long run it led to competing government and competing religious systems

Fourth I am anti-clerical and hope for the Roman Clerical system to be defeated further

in reply to shortstories

My desired end goal would be for people to no longer believe that clergy have special authority to let people know what is morally right and wrong and to no longer believe that they have a moral obligation to obey clergy simply because they are clergy

When I say clergy I do not limit this to "Christian" Clergy only

And I would say the same for people in government or corporate office positions as I said for clergy but with word substituition

Japan seeks to grow Africa investments to ease reliance on China

Japan is supporting its companies to grow their business in Africa and develop trade ties across a continent where it’s mainly been seen as a key donor.

The second-biggest Asian economy’s emergence from a three-decade period of deflation has boosted its private sector’s risk appetite, Takehiko Matsuo, vice-minister for International Affairs at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said in Abidjan, the commercial hub of Ivory Coast.

Zorin OS 17 doesn't use the very latest, it's based on GNOME 43, not 45. The Software store is the one from GNOME 45, but other apps are the version from GNOME 42, like the image viewer or the file manager.

You still get access to desktop layouts, which let you change how your desktop looks and feels in one click. You also get a Zorin appearance app with accent colors, dark mode, support for other themes, and a few other options to change how the interface looks and feels, but that's all stuff Zorin OS 16 already had.

As per Zorin specific changes, the default Zorin menu now gives you a search box, to find anything you want, it uses the GNOME shell search backend, so you can enable or disable providers in the settings. You also gain an "all apps" category to see everything sorted alphabetically.

Also, Zorin OS seems to default to Wayland now,

It brings back the desktop cube. It can be enabled in the Zorin appearance settings, and it's triggered as a replacement for the activities view: instead of the strip of desktops, you get the desktop cube. You can make it turn with touchpad gestures, and windows are laid out with a nice parallax effect, floating over the desktop.

The alt tab window switcher can also be replaced with a more visual, 3D version of the default, and again, it looks good, but it's not more usable: you don't see all windows as well as a basic alt tab strip of thumbnails and icons, and it makes it harder to actually get to what you're looking for, because you don't have the full list of app icons visible all at once.

Zorin OS added advanced tiling. Again, it needs to be enabled in the Zorin Appearance settings, and it gives you not only quarter tiling, but also a lot of other options. When you tile a window to a screen edge, you get a little pop-up to fill the rest of the space with another open window, and it creates tile groups, meaning that bringing one of the window to the fore will also bring the other one alongside it.

You can also turn on tiling layouts. They're not the most legible or easy to create, as you can't just place your windows how you want them, and save that as a layout, you have to enter relatively cryptic series of numbers to define the percentage of the display each zone occupies.

Under the hood, Zorin OS 17 is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, so you're getting packages that are close to being 2 years old. It adds snap and flatpak, with flathub enabled.

Zorin uses the Linux kernel 6.2, which, ehhh well it's end of life, and has been since May 2023,

You're also stuck at the nvidia drivers 535, so not 545, the latest ones that fix a LOT of Wayland related issues, and the mesa drivers are 23.0, where 23.3 was released recently, with a lot of improvements for recent hardware.

Zorin OS also still keeps the cool things they add on the side: first you get Zorin connect, which is KDE connect and the GS Connect extension for GNOME shell. You also get an easy one click install of Wine, called Windows app support. It installs Wine, and PlayOnLinux, so you can try and run various windows executables, but both of these are super outdated.

Tomorrow is the first day of pride month and to celebrate, I think it’s time to remove celebration of corporate allyship (did they ever ACTUALLY care anyway or only want our money?) and go back to the roots.

Pride is a party!

Pride is a riot!

Pride is a rejection of shame and an embracing of wholeness. 🥰

So happy early pride to everyone who isn’t performing it as a show, but is actively living and loving their full being along with that of others! 🥳

There is a story circulating “Trump administration hires plalantir to make a database that spies on every American.”

This was made up by the New York Times. There is no evidence other than a contract for database services or whatever the fuck, which happens every week, that is literally what Palantir does.

It could be something, but also Eriner could be trans. There is not much of a reason to elevate either hypothesis.

Yes and selective service, but the administration is publicly dissatisfied with those databases. It’s all shit mainframe tech.

They’re probably going to replace the mainframes with something that also prevents fraud.

NovaCustom Website: configurelaptop.eu/

NovaCustom is from the Netherlands, and they're specialized in laptops, you won't find desktop PCs in here. They put the focus on customization of your laptop to your exact specifications, they ship Linux out of the box, and they use coreboot.

They offer 3 years of warranty, and they guarantee spare parts availability for your device up to 7 years after your purchase.

They have 14 inches, 15 inches and 17 inches, the cheapest they have is 749€, and the most expensive goes up to 3900 euros but that's with all the options ticked

Of course, you can change the specs, but you can also add you own logo, you can change the boot logo, you can engrave the palm rest, you can pick between Windows and Linux, or you can ask them to create a dual boot.

You can choose yo use your own keyboard layout, in ANSI or ISO, change the look of the super key, change keyboard illumination, ask to completely remove the mic and webcam...

Framework goes further, since you can even replace the entire motherboard and keep the whole chassis, keyboard, panel, webcam and ports. They don't have as many models and sizes though, and until the 16 inch model releases, you're not getting any dedicated GPU options, and you're limited to 13 inches.

Novacustom is more about customization, repairability, and allowing users access to their own hardware, where Framework is more about keeping the exact same device, and making it modular, and allowing complete upgrades.

In terms of price range, Framework will be a little bit more expensive than NovaCustom for the same configurations, but they do have better panels, and newer CPU options, plus Ryzen options that Novacustom don't currently offer.

My review unit is the NS51 series, their mid range laptop. In terms of build quality, it feels very rigid, the hinge is super solid. The whole thing is pretty heavy, 1.7 kilos, and it's quite sturdy.

The only real issue I can see is the position of the power button, next to a USB port

All the spare parts are accessible for up to 7 years after your purchase, and they give you a complete service manual.

My review unit came with a core i7 1260P. In terms of I/O, on the right, you get gigabit ethernet, the ill placed power button, one USB 2 port, a micro SD card reader, and on the right, you have your barrel charger, an HDMI port, a USB 3.0 port, and 1 thunderbolt 4 and 1 type C 3.1 Gen 2 port. You can charge the laptop using USB C.

This laptop came with coreboot, with Dasharo firmware.

In terms of performance, the CPU gets a more than honorable 2498 in single core, and 7450 in multi core. As per battery life, this chip is relatively power efficient, it lasts for about 7 hours at mid brightness, wifi on, watching youtube videos in a loop.

Now let's look at the various things this laptop comes with. The display is 15.6 inches, 1080p, 16:9, 300 nits of brightness. It covers 98% of SRGB.

As per input, the keyboard feels pretty good to type on. They keys have good travel, they bounce back well, it doesn't feel mushy for a membrane keyboard, and it sounds pretty good. It's a good keyboard.

The touchpad is decent, it doesn't feel like glass, but it's smooth enough, large enough, and it feels precise. It did wobble a little bit and you can feel that when just using tap to click.

Now, the webcam is the usual potato quality fare, it's 720p.

The microphone is the same, it will be suitable for short video conferences, but it makes you sound distant.

And finally, the speakers, they're your average fare.

In the backstory bible for the world in which most of my stories take place, I have a thing called "The Blight". It is an agent of Oblivion and serves to bring all of reality back to absolute zero, no heat, no light, no movement, no time. It undoes creation.
But I'm left unable to name its opposite. What do you call everywhere, everywhen, every thought, every color, infinitely bright and hot, teeming with immortal life?
What's the opposite of a naked singularity?
Ubiquity?
Omnilarity?
What do you call the thing that starts The Big Bang?

I don't even know what hashtags to put on this but it's appreciate any suggestions for terms to use.
I know you must pass through The Gleam to find it but The Gleam is not of it. The Gleam is the shining world while what lies beyond is blazing.

For a donation of $1000 you get a PhD in Media Deconstruction which includes a gorgeous diploma."
