I'm just a Greek American, but I would assume it's mostly a cultural thing more than an actual belief in God. I was an ordained alter boy and my church was kind of a "training" congregation for years before we got a permanent priest. A lot of the guys who came through used the seminary as a way to get out of whatever Balkan backwater they grew up in.

Bucket_of_Truth, 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in Is there a way to directly transfer files between laptops and PCs using regular USB cables?

If you're on the same network I would just use Filezilla ftp client. Download it on both devices and you can transfer whatever between them.

Are you planning on keeping the old laptop? If it's not a proprietary drive type you could probably just take it out and pop it into your new computer. Most newer laptops can support two
SSD. If they're both M.2 drives you wouldn't even need a new cable, just a screwdriver.

I beat it for the first time over the pandemic and was totally blown away, instantly one of my favorite games of all time.

The soundtrack is fucking amazing, there's the youTube channel Lavos with endless mixes of it. Corridors of time never gets old.

There's Torrentleech.org and Iptorrents
People don't like IP torrents though because the owner is a sketchy scam artist.

Bucket_of_Truth, 10 months ago to freemediaheckyeah in Someone dropped the source code for Far Cry 1 on archive.org

Half-life was based off a modified Quake engine. So ya, it sorta helped create Valve and Steam.

Bucket_of_Truth, 10 months ago to technology in The first flying car, 'Model A,' approved by the FAA and it's 100% electric

FAA approved it to be tested. Not for mass production or for a layman to use it. They probably got one flight plan approved.

A dedicated server + large cloud service to host my own Plex server for my family and friends.

Bucket_of_Truth, 10 months ago to nba in [Charania] The Portland Trail Blazers have been informed that Damian Lillard wants a trade specifically to the Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat, multiple sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium .

On the one hand Dame is the coolest guy in Portland and it would suck to see him go.

On the other hand I live within walking distance of the Moda Center and $5 tickets close enough to air my grievances directly to the team rocks.

Companies pay YouTube for advertisements. Google's not just putting ads on videos for fun.

Bucket_of_Truth, 10 months ago to AskKbin in Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit.

I feel more like we're experiencing a new epoch of the internet and society really. It's not just reddit changing it's API, it seems that everything is changing around us and reddit is just one facet of that. The pandemic ending, the rise of AI, new threats of war, fentanyl cheaper than soda, and unprecedented corporate greed are creating a world that we haven't seen before and it's strange for everyone.

Bucket_of_Truth, 10 months ago to technology in How much of your life have you degoogled?

I just bought a Pixel 7 specifically to run custom firmware. I'm on the fence about how scorched earth I want to go with it. LineageOS is closer to stock Android but with the option to degoog. GrapheneOS if I want to be completely free of it.

The only downside is that the camera blows without the stock gCam.

Bucket_of_Truth, 10 months ago to technology in How much of your life have you degoogled?

You can if you have the right phone, namely pixels. Ironic because its the Google phone, but the Pixel line has the most custom firmware development.

LineageOS for a more stock version of a de-googled ROM. Works on a number of Android devices.
GrapheneOS for a completely de-googled firmware that is tailored for privacy. Snowden said if he were to use a phone it'd be a Pixel running Graphene. Only works with Pixel.

Bucket_of_Truth, 10 months ago to politics in DeSantis says he would eliminate four federal agencies if elected president

He's polling worse than fucking RFK jr, he stands no chance. YoUr'Re AlL JuSt SiTtInG tHeRe! We're more than a year away from the general election, which he will never make it to because there are months of primaries before where Trump will assuredly win.
