Lol, we're all upvoting but not commenting until we reach the new quest... I'm on the 14th floor in yesterday's daily, what about you?

Getting used to the new runes and scrolls designs might take a while.

Thanks Evan & community!

RIP. The best.

I love it too, bookmarked and hopefully adopted! Did you write about it somewhere?
Re:Magnifica Humanitas (Encyclical Letter) on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @08:10AM (#48278625)
Appreciate the answer, but then I have some questions:

So, according to that theory, god could substantiate again, this time into an "imago dei computer", giving the computer "machinity"?

A computer that is god, makes divine stuff and is, for example, at one point unplugged, but comes online miraculously three days after, etc?

That would be Jesus-like, but we could posit an Eve/Adam-like computer, would that be imago dei too?

Has god become only human, or has it become other animals, plants, or things?

Not trying to be facetious, just unable to follow some thinking when it would involve observable miracles on earth.

Seems logical.
Agreed.

Re:An Introduction to Obsidian on Tuesday April 14, 2026 @07:46AM (#47764356)
In the last paragraph, OP mentions using Logseq "for short daily notes/journaling", which suggests both Obsidian and Logseq fall short in some ways.

As I'm currently contemplating using one of these tools, I'd love if you elaborated on that.

Great article, thanks.

Try Phanpy for the fediverse: https://phanpy.social/

Maybe the best web app I've used.

Live bookmarks was how I started, and what I've come back to after all, using this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/livemarks/

When I'm familiar with the source, the headlines are enough for me to know if I want to read, navigating the folders is super quick, and the feed indicator makes adding new ones very easy too.

Thanks a lot for that link! I know nothing of Apple stuff and a friend has got an old iMac that he thought was unupdatable but it seems there's a way. Cheers!
But you did, and Firefox flies these days, thanks!
