I was raised Catholic and had the misfortune of going to a Catholic school, so I can give you the reasons they believe these things. To start off, I know nothing about eastern Orthodox Catholic beliefs

  1. Catholics believe you're not praying to the saint or whatever, but praying through them. What they hate is praying to stuff. (I know, confusing and makes little sense)
  2. Probably the answer would be "artist interpretation". One religion teacher (literally studied Catholic theology) I've also had said something along the lines of "Adam and Eve likely weren't really the first humans, they were just a representation of something" (sorry I couldn't be clearer, I never paid attention)

I liked it except for that "ad blocking is piracy" shit he snuck in there

Yeah people on the Internet tend to be very very jumpy at anyone It could very well have been that people just took your tone as condescending or whatever better adjective describes it. It isn't your fault

I found that thread because I was curious I've skimmed it and saw many instances of people going "but it's only on the snapdragon x chip", as if Intel and AMD aren't gonna release the same CPUs but capable of more AI shit

Has ddg ever really claimed to use its own index? I've always thought of it being a bing frontend

edit: Apparently start page pulls from Google and Bing (going off of this)

Yeah I tried installing it a year or two ago, but a lot of the hardware on my laptop (only machine atm) was not compatible. It was stuff like the touchpad not even being detected. I booted into the same install iso a few months ago and somehow it all worked.

It's a shit show sometimes, but it can surprise you

I disagree. I've used KDE's discover thingy to install stuff basically through dnf on fedora. It's incredibly possible for the average user, who basically just browses the web and maybe writes documents.

I stumbled upon this like 5 hours too late, but hi this is your reminder

I just say Google hoping that the trademark will eventually become generalized like escalator

I'd bet someone either edited a screenshot or just made a quick gtk application to popup that error

Yes, but your comment has a real "all lives matter" vibe to it
