  • I think what you mean is compound words vs other words?

    Wikipedia says there are lots of compound words in English.

    Plaintiff is borrowed from Old French. Litigation from Latin...

    I suppose it boils down to when and under what circumstances a term was needed to describe something. Sometimes there was a word from another language available. Or the whole subject came from a different culture. And sometimes they just described it with a compound of what it resembles. And how to make up terms probably also depends on what is en vogue at the time.

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?

    Jump

  • Agree. But that specific article seems pretty alright. Also talks about the relics and history records for example by Tacitus.

    There also is a Wikipedia article which I think is not written that well. And a lot of education material by churches or religious organizations which I did not cite for obvious reasons.

    (And the German Wikipedia article about sources for the historicity of Jesus seems very good. But it's not exactly OP's question and I don't know if it helps: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au%C3%9Ferchristliche_antike_Quellen_zu_Jesus_von_Nazaret )

    Tl;dr: No.

    My opinion: It's a nice story. And with stories the most important thing is what it teaches us or makes us feel. Not that it's true. Maybe they took inspiration from several preaching hippies who lived back then and made one story out of that. Exaggerated everything and made stuff up. Probably all of it because the bible was't even written close to his supposed lifetime. It'd be like you now writing a story about a dude who died in 1870. Without any previous records to get information from. [Edit: The first things have probably been written down like 40-50 years after his death.]

    And I mean if Jesus existed, he would certainly disapprove of what people do (and did) in his name.

  • Why are Republicans/Conservatives embracing fanaticalism these days?

  • American values aren't important to them. They want different things. A strong leader, be heard, simple truths and/or some people below them to hate and pick on.

  • What games did you have a good time with that you just never finished?

    Jump

  • Yeah, Back when I was a kid we used to roam those point and click adventures a lot. We'd get stuck all the times. Sometimes a friend would have an idea and we'd make some progress. But the internet was slow and we still had dialup. I guess there weren't that much walkthroughs available. At least not in the parts of the internet I knew my way around... Yeah, and English is my second language. So information was kinda scarce antways, before I learned the main language of the internet in school... Everything developed and now I have everything available. I even have those old games sitting on an SD card on a Raspberry Pi and waiting for me. I really should finish that game at some point. On the flipside, I'm an adult now and it's difficult to find the time to play point and click adventures all day long 😆

    And regarding the items: I tried ManiacMansion, which I believe is included in DOTT. That's properly impossible without an expert at your side.

  • What's the reason for the empty comments, lately?

    Jump

  • It's a hashtag. Pretty much invisible but I can still see it.

  • What's the reason for the empty comments, lately?

    Jump

  • Well that shouldn't happen. I guess it's technically possible because I can also change my own comments and they're not signed or anything... But changing other people's comments is kind if lying and being disingenuous. Either it's a technical issue, or your comment was so offensive that it warranted an exception to the rule, or the mods/admins don't know what is right and what is wrong.

  • Hmmh. I guess Lemmy should display that kind of information more prominently. But there isn't much progress UI wise... Guess you could just look it up in the modlog. Or do it like that 😆 Thanks for the report anyways.

  • Anyone tried a Matrix <-> Discord bridge?

    Jump

  • bummer.

  • I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp.

    Jump

  • I think they don't take inspiration from Photoshop. Either it's been a clone of a different product at some time or they developed it themselves. Hence the differences. I mean the whole UI doen't really resemble similarity to Photoshop.

  • What's the reason for the empty comments, lately?

    Jump

  • Yes. I have like 3 different apps but I regularly use Eternity. I think you're right and a decent part if it is Eternity. Like half of the empty messages show up in other apps or the web interface. But not all of them. I don't quite think it's just deleted messages. Some others are definitely there and also don't show up in Eternity... Maybe it's a combination of factors. Honestly I didn't quite pay attention when I was using which app. I'm still trying to figure it out. But this definitely seems to be part of it.

  • Ah. maybe hand it over to the next person? I suppose people still need to switch painlessly? But I get it. We used to host lots of stuff in my university years. A forum, chat, classifieds, filesharing... A big photo album for all our pictures and events... As far as I know all of that has gone. Either due to lack of interest or nobody was able and willing to pick it up.

  • The article doesn't talk much at all about all the interesting technical details.

    The press release talks about trouble with payment providers... So I suppose they accepted credit card payment.

    Maybe the court documents are publicly available if anyone is willing to dig them up in order to find out... I don't think I'm that interested. If it's a good story, maybe someone will do a documentery or podcast episode at some point. Would probably do for a "true crime" show.
