I thought doubting God was a sin and I’d go to hell if I died with doubt in my heart, so I avoided atheist material out of fear that it was Satan working through them to tempt me to doubt.
But eventually I just couldn’t resist, and figured the atheist arguments would clearly be false, and God’s truth or whatever would show through and then I could always refer to that event to shake any doubts.
The first video I watched was a debate between a pastor and Christopher Hitchens.
Absolutely shook my faith to the core. For a couple days afterward, no matter how I tried to twist it, I couldn’t find the fault in Hitchens arguments.
After that, I began to research the history of Christianity with a more open mind, and it became clear what a shit show the whole thing was. I became agnostic, and I suppose in a way I still am a bit, in the sense that the existence of reality itself is quite puzzling, but I can say with certainty that no religion on earth has any answers toward that end.

Sunset Riders and Wild Guns are fun little western shooters.

Rock’n’roll Racing is a fantastic racer.

The Wario games are pretty superb for quick sessions
Personally I’d recommend Linux Mint, as you’re likely to have a very positive experience with it.
Fedora hasn’t been all roses for my particular setup either, since they fully dropped X11 in the latest version, but my hardware combo isn’t viable yet with Wayland, ultimately making me land on Linux Mint (which has been pretty dang nice).
I also tried OpenSUSE slowroll before trying Fedora, which I love the concept of, but an update on that seemed to bork my system (second monitor would remain blank upon booting), which made me a bit skeptical of its claims of extra stability over normal Tumbleweed.
I haven’t experienced any friction from DNF, so personally I don’t see it as a con. I just think Fedora has a useful middle ground between new packages and stability.
Fedora is a solid middle ground between Arch and Debian.
Even with the automated testing, Tumbleweed will still sometimes introduce problems with updates. They mitigate the risk of that with Snapper, so you can rollback to a previous state if things get borked.
Personally, though I’ve tried it a few times, I just can’t get on with openSuse distros.
I’d honestly just go for Fedora if you want up-to-date packages, perhaps Nobara if you want it more pre-setup for gaming and codecs. It’s much more slick overall.
In case it’s not obvious, this is an educational game to teach how the oil industry is able to control our governments and destroy the planet.
Unfortunately, I believe you’re right, and I’d get a similiar reaction from my own mother :(
The type of person who would be interested in this video likely already agrees, as we both do, and the ones who need to see it and see its urgency the most will be bored to tears with it, or as you say, just shrug and do nothing. I’m not sure if there is a way around that, short of somehow incorporating this message into the story of a popular game or movie, but even then I’m not sure if there would be a lasting effect.
A very difficult problem to solve.
For those needs, an old used thinkpad off ebay would be pretty ideal. Affordable, well built and reliable. Only downside is I think the smallest model is a 12"
Perhaps a Chromebook known for being compatible with being flashed with Linux?
When I played the first game, I eventually become a bit annoyed at how some systems worked, such as how frequently henry became hungry, so I downloaded a mod that extended the time between meals, which made the experience a bit more realistic and less annoying.
Though on the topic of degrading equipment, I kinda like shoes wearing out of it’s not too frequent, because for some odd reason I find it enjoyable to have to plan trips around such limitations 😄
Depends on your needs. Matrix can mostly replace the functionality of Discord, which makes it stand out despite its flaws.
If you just need group chat, encryption, and 1 on 1 calls, XMPP is easily self hosted and highly scalable.
SimpleX seems to be another decent option that’s decentralized.

I’ve always been able to rely on her reviews, love her stuff as well ^^
I agree, though unfortunately, the developers of both Lemmy and Mastodon appear to have little interest in improving compatibility between the two platforms :(
Ah, I see the issue now after looking at this post from your mastodon instance. I am not posting from Mastodon, but from a Lemmy instance (a federated Reddit-like platform using activitypub). The way Lemmy seems to federate link posts to mastodon users is by sharing the Lemmy post itself, which contains its own comment thread, not the YouTube link directly. That intermediate site you’re seeing is the Lemmy instance I’m on, slrpnk.net.
Bananas Screen Sharing may one day be able to replicate that functionality, though at the moment it does not pass-through audio (The dev mentioned they hadn’t implementet that because it’s difficult to do on Mac OS, but seems to be viable for Windows/Linux).
