Atheists do not have theological beliefs, atheism is characterized by a lack of religious faith. If one is lacking in faith then they cannot still have faith, that is an incoherent position.

I try my best, haha. Hope the app works out for you!

Hey there! Databases aren’t something I’ve done yet in Obsidian, although I’m at my computer right now so I took a quick peek and I think maybe https://dataloom.xyz/ is what you’re looking for. Seems to be angled specifically at Notion users.

As someone who loves both apps, you might be surprised with the functionality in Obsidian’s plugin platform. I have to-dos, kanban boards, book reviews, media embeds. You can even use JavaScript to code with your files and their properties (not that everyone needs to do that of course).

I use Notion at work still, but Obsidian has come really far since I first heard of it. I will say though migrating has not been an easy process.

I was a little curious about this as well, how can you know whether or not this is dissuading the content scrapers? I’m familiar with like robot.txt but I’d imagine AI models don’t respect that type of thing the same way.

While they would no longer be competing in the US market, any ‘competitor’ would have to do the work of gaining billions of customers in other countries, that are already entrenched into Tik Tok user space. I think that worry is kinda moot if you’re TT leadership.

Well for one, because if they don’t then they will get precisely 0 money. If it is indeed about the money then we would absolutely expect them to sell no? Otherwise… There’s no money

I’m not as sure of that as you are, but I hope we get to find out soon.

No, did you read it? The US government also advocates for a two state solution, even if it isn’t by means you like they’re still aligned with you.

Edit to add: You are deflecting from the point I made also

Yes, basically the whole planet is aligned with you there. Is there an actual point that you have? Why not discuss these two different entities in terms of the unique problems within their societies? You can’t just say “Israel” if you disagree with someone, you have to use your words bub.

I mean, that ship has sailed though right? Israel will never agree to that unless it’s destroyed.

Israel is a different government and we should consider it as such… Unless you think there should be no Palestine? What is your point exactly?

Under this thought process, if Gaza isn’t Palestine, should the Palestinians’ state be recognized, what happens to Gaza? Is it absorbed into Israel? From what I can tell I don’t think this is gonna fly, almost anyone talking about this and the Gazans themselves don’t agree it seems

Do you honestly think the UN is that effective when it concerns international human rights? They approved a ceasefire in Gaza and nothing happened. There’s a two-year long genocide in Ukraine and the UN just let’s the Russian Ambassador carry on, and they’ve done nothing to stop them.

Things like food aid and whatnot they’re obviously helpful with, but if the League of Nations was toothless then the UN is wearing dentures in my mind lol

Can you link me some reading material about this?

we literally suffered 9/11 because of Israel

I’ve never once heard Israel come up in the story of 9/11

Whoever down voted you is coping, this is easily seen all over their products. RCS, headphone ports, charging ports, not allowing you to side load apps, the walled garden, yadda yadda. Apple makes good (really expensive) hardware but the rest is marketing.

Can you help me identify what in this article is propaganda? I wasn’t able to find anything that set off alarm bells for me, and Reuters tends to be about as factual as media comes.

This doesn’t address your question directly OP, but something I’ve been doing here (as a sad former redditor of over a decade) is to relentlessly upvote anything I like or that contributes to communities I’m subscribed to. I was more of a lurker on reddit but I think if we can push more niche communities and posts into the “everything” feed this problem will hopefully resolve itself eventually through organic growth.

To be clear here, when I say “reason” I mean the fundamental capability humans have to use logic, rationality, and data to make decisions and inform their behaviors. If this is the understanding you had when you wrote your comment I suppose we just disagree fundamentally, and that’d be an exceptional take on the matter.

We can be both emotionally and logically intelligent creatures, the two aren’t mutually exclusive and reducing people to their base emotional responses takes away from their agency. In my experience people are typically much more reason-based in their decision-making, even people who are victims of the term “unreasonable woman”. We don’t go around doing things just because.

How far do you take this perspective? As a lefty that doesn’t sound like a very leftist take, rather it sort of completely eschews the principles of solidarity and reason-based argumentation…

I do agree that feminism is about helping women (and that’s great!), but should mothers not advocate for better mental health resources for their sons? Should I not advocate for better access to birth control for the women in my life because I’m male or for Ukrainian liberty because I’m not Ukrainian? Denying someone access to public discourse about a topic because they’re not suffering the consequences of the topic seems a bit silly to me. And of course, men do actually suffer under patriarchy, albeit in a different way than women obviously.
