Not the phone’s problem

RIM no longer own BlackBerry. The Clicks Communicator has some of the blackberry team on it’s team.

I think the only compromise is that it doesn’t have a flagship camera and a smaller screen which is a given for the keyboard. Not sure how the IP rating will be, though. But it looks really promising as a phone that would suit the majority of people who aren’t trying to use their phone as a gaming console

I think he is referring to his knob

The Chinese just made a symbol for each word/concept

I remember seeing China building hospitals within 48 hours and thinking we were screwed because here we would never manage that. Turns out we did something similar although with existing buildings.

The UK, people generally respect the law via a norm called “policing by consent”.

Also interesting that in China, it was where serious riots happened, which probably did the opposite for them showing them they had less power

I blame COVID more

I remember the Moto E. Phone wasn’t that good. My proper first phone was a Moto G (original gen 1).

I distinctly remember Pokémon Go not working very well… I think that’s Pokémon Go’s fault. Still has issues on my pixel.

That sounds like a frontend issue

That sounds like a frontend issue. Not a protocol issue

In what ways?

Isn’t that Matrix?

ActivityPub wouldn’t work because it’s not a messaging protocol. It’s a publishing protocol. The closest thing you have is Lemmy- where you have a server (instance) with channels (communities).

It’ll be easier to achieve something like this using SMTP (email protocol) than with ActivityPub.

Matrix and XMPP are your best bets (although XMPP doesn’t necessarily natively have video call, usually you’ll have an accompanying TURN server)

What you can do with email, xmpp and the fediverse is have the same username. It is possible for someone to make a platform which gives you one name and it accepts email, xmpp and fedi. Unfortunately, Matrix, for some strange reason uses the format of @name:server instead of the standard name@server (activitypub might use @name@server but that’s close enough and a lot of lemmy frontends don’t even care for the initial @. In reality that initial @ is probably just being used to ping them, now realising.)

I think the home screen is just Niagra launcher

That’s because there is an objective morality and we know the differences between right and wrong naturally. But society can twist them, and it is now and has done many times before.

But let’s also not pretend that God’s rules are all great, either. If the guy who enacted a worldwide genocide and commands fathers to kill their sons is your moral compass

You are seriously taking these concepts out of context to the point of dishonesty. For the “commands fathers to kill their sons” I assume you mean the narrative about Abraham and Isaac. The whole point of that is in a world where people were being sacrificed to a god, the true God didn’t require human sacrifices from men. In fact, the whole story in of itself is a prophecy

Genesis 22:8, 11-14

Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together.

But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.

Interesting that it was said that God will provide a lamb, but instead there was provided a ram?

So Abraham called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide” as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”

It shall be provided.

John 1:28-29

These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

As for the flood- That is just God purging evil from the world. He is well within His rights to do that.

Fair. Most of the pixel’s magic is in it’s software.

Looking at the site, it appears to have everything. Even qi wireless charging

What’s so bad about the camera? I’m no expert, it advertises a high megapixel but I know enough that megapixel doesn’t mean everything

It’s weird how it’s being advertised as a second phone - it looks like it has the same capabilities of any other android phone? Just a smaller screen and a physical keyboard

Rebellion to arbitrary authority and servitude to a God who tells us arbitrary rules like “love your neighbour” and “give to the poor” and “you shall not murder” “you shall not commit adultery” “you shall not steal”, etc…

Yeah bro that rebellion is nothing to be proud of
