To be honest I kinda like that... Shame doesnt work to change behavior it just masks it. Id rather assholes be assholes and nice people be nice people and we see people at face value. At least then it gives us the ability to have an open and honest conversation about how people act rather than just burying it out of shame.

No I understand. You can dismiss the assertion that Thor is real by being undecided on the issue, which is the only nonfaith based conclusion. The lack of evidence is the whole point. You have exactly as much evidence of thors existence as you do his nonexistance. So if you assert he exists or not then that is faith, if you assert you don't have enough evidence to decide either way then that is science.

Since you claimed you have no reason to believe god doesn't exist, or exist, then you are undecided and thus by definition agnostic.

No but the fact that qualified immunity is codified into law **does** mean the right doesnt exist.

The definition of a right (that is being used here) is: legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way.

Ergo since the law does not give me the same right as cops to defend my life means the cop have a right (to qualified immunity) that I do not, and thus we do not have the same rights.

@Max_Imum

I totally expect violence from the left. But probably not prior to inauguration, they arent that calculating. It will likely build up over months or years of Trump being vile before it finally spills over into riots again.

Unfortunately you dont. A cop has qualified immunity which means if they shoot someone doing something illegal they can get away with a lot more than a private citizen might should they make a mistake. For example if I saw a cop choking someone to death and i pulled out my gun and shot him in the head, and the other cops then pulled out their guns and shot me dead, those other cops would likely get away with it on qualified immunity since they are reacting within the moment. Which means the consequence for me to shoot a cop is to be murdered on the scene with little or no consequence to those murdering me, a cop however could get away with the same act and should he be shot dead the person killing him would likely get in trouble.

Unpopular opinion: You should have the same right to shoot a cop as you do an ordinary citizen should they illegally threaten your life.

@freeschool

and FYI in addition tot he last update a week or so ago we should have another one this week, the fixes are alrteady in the repo for a few things.

I see now from your image you are asking about the search.. thats not "broken" just turned off.. I think we can probably turn it on next week with those fixes.

@freeschool

We have made multiple changes since then.. Have you joined the chat room and keep up to date? Do you need the info again? You can get all the details you want there, you can also follow the code repos directly or any of the other avenues we create updates.

@Ponygirl @ryan

Thinking Thor doesn't exist would require faith like any other god. The fact that you think Thor and and the christian god may exist would make you not atheist but again the word or definition isn't important. Since you say god or Thor may exist then you are not faith based, nor would I call you atheist.

@Ponygirl @ryan

If you believe there is abpossibility, however small, god may he real then you are agnostic. If you believe god doesn't exist you are atheist.

That said definitions matter very little to me. Definitions aside i only would need to know, is there a possibility god exists or not, however low?

Just submitted my first W3C proposed standard to W3C for consideration. I am not allowed to say what it is per W3C rules, but wow its super exciting!

@Ponygirl

A more appropriate term would be faith based, than religion based. Atheists are a faith based position.

100% of atheists claim there is no god, if you are not making that claim you are not atheist by definition, that would make you agnostic (making no assertion about a god either way).

@KimPerales

To be fair if he thinks the voter fraud is carried out entirely by the democrats (which is nonsense but just what if) then it would make perfect sense that him winning would stop him from talking about it. Why would he need to address it if their attempt wasnt successful?

@tatzelbrumm nah we welcome people to the chat, its specifically for QOTO, we have tons of private rooms too where the public isnt welcome.

matrix.to/#/#QOTO:qoto.org

@tatzelbrumm We have that, our gitlab server is the best place to report issues. You can also do it int he chat room if you'd like to talk to devs directly

We have been very overloaded because despite receiving a few million in funding, which includes QOTO it also includes quite a few other things. We have spent most of the year highering and ramping up and frankly it took a lot longer to ramp up than I expected.

As of right now we have one guy looking into a few fixes so we may have a few more things fixed soon. If you want let me know and ill give you the link to the matrix room where you can talk to the developers and system admin.

I also hired 2 new developers with a cross over to system admin, so once we get them signed up we should have a bit more bandwidth to tackle what few issues we have left.

@Strandjunker

Agreed, I feel the exact same way about anyone who voted for Trump.

I also dont judge you for your choice of party if you voted for Harris, I do however judge you for supporting genocide, and supporting attacks on trans rights

Sadly that leaves me disappointed in 98% of Americans this election.
