Every finite range has 2 limits. A bottom limit and a top limit.

But that still doesn’t change the belief that a creator could have created the universe in whatever state it currently exists in. That’s why these arguments never go anywhere with hard core young earth creationists. It’s also not worth the energy arguing with them because they often believe that anyone trying to convince them otherwise is an antichrist trying to lead them astray.

There’s a lot of stuff everyone has that they don’t need. What’s your point? Are you going to go vegan? because technically you don’t need meat. Are you going to stop driving an automatic transmission? Because you don’t need that. Oh, social media (Lemmy included), you definitely don’t need that.

Yes but that isn’t changed by the amount of data used. There is no cost to supply per kb supplied, only a cost to maintain the equipment that governs the speed of the connection.

Here’s an analog example. If the city you lived in started charging you more for the water to come into your house faster as well as charging you for the amount of water you use. Obviously you should pay for the amount of a finite resource you use but the speed at which you acquired that resource should be limited only by the physics of the water transportation system.

Data on the other hand, is not a finite resource. There is no limit to the amount of data one can acquire given endless time and energy. So the only way to bill for that becomes the speed at which you acquire the data. You pay for the data speed and that funds the infrastructure to supply that speed indefinitely. End of story. The only reason data caps exist is that they want to charge more money for you to use less bandwidth so they can sell that bandwidth to other people. When what should really happen is, they should invest in higher bandwidth capacity and sell that to their customers to return on that investment.

Either supply me infinite speed and bill me for the amount of data used or supply me infinite data and bill me for the bandwidth. Not both.

This is not me saying you’re wrong because I don’t think you are, but as a fun thought experiment, I know the argument for this from the theologist perspective. There’s quite a lot of philosophy behind it.

Being both omniscient and omnipotent simultaneously would require a totally different perspective of time. God would need to be an observer to all that is, was and will be at once as if you were looking at a painting. But to make changes to that painting, if you will, God would need to enter time to interact with the people of his creation to make things so.

You have this sort of chicken and egg situation as a result. While God theoretically knows Abraham is faithful, he knows Abraham is faithful through the trials of Abraham which God would have had to perform to know what he knows. So in effect, God knows the result of these actions before hand, but the actions still must occur, otherwise God would not know.

I don’t have time or the memory to drive deeper into this discussion but I remember this was a very long discussion I had during my theology studies before I left the church.

Just let Elon Musk handle it, it will be ready in two year tops. Perpetually two years away.

An MSP is an IT company that supports several other companies. They’re saying they have users who don’t know how to open PDFs all the time in multiple industries.

We didn’t call WW1 a world war until america joined 3 years into the European war. The second world war wasn’t called that until after the war had formally ended. Who knows.

TS has always, and I do mean always, been garbage.

There’s a few zombies in there. It’s like playing wheres waldo

It’s TPLink. Budget networking equipment comes with budget security principles.

It’s not that I can’t journal, it’s that journaling isn’t part of my routine. And introducing new things into my routine is a Herculean feat. My doctor recently added a medication that I’m supposed to only take while I’m eating dinner… After 20 years of taking all my daily meds in the morning while I brush my teeth… I can tell you I’m missing at least half my doses.

Queue neurotypicals saying “have you tried using a planner?”

I’m glad it worked out!

Not directly from macrium. I also wouldn’t recommend using software from unofficial sources or that are out of date. Especially when it comes to your data. I use disk genius now. Works a treat.

I use disk genius. It’s pretty great. Haven’t had a single failed clone yet.

No longer free

I mean… Zombies are a Haitian voodoo thing.

I think this could be better for reading but harder for writing. Like you could write a script that converts between this and the easier to write way if you are working on a project with others.
