If the ad is short and subsidizes free wifi, I ain’t mad. But if the ad is unreasonably long, or if I have to keep watching ads every x minutes to use WiFi, it becomes a problem. Not sure what the case is here, but it should be spelled out on the screen so we know what we’re getting ourselves into.
I confronted someone for littering and with a completely sincere face they said they’re creating jobs for the people cleaning the streets 💫 so does that mean murderers are creating jobs for homicide detectives?

I’m not sure. It’s the first I’ve ever heard of it. The Western academic approach to Islamic studies is historically rooted in refuting Islam’s credibility instead of objectively studying it, so you’ll hear all sorts of wild assertions and conclusions that would make a five year old Muslim laugh. It may be improving these days, but I don’t keep current with this stuff. Anyways, Mecca is literally in the Arabic text of the Quran, so it’s not some translator filling in the gaps with interpretation:
The article you mentioned tries to be balanced with point and counterpoint. There are some sweeping assumptions being made in that article as well.
I will say that if Mecca was Petra, many historical events occurring between mecca and medina become impossible. Battle of Badr, Uhud, etc. The tribes involved in the above events also didn’t reside in Petra.
It comes across as an outsider’s fun little thought experiment. Very orientalist in its approach.
Are mecca and medina even in that circle? Yemen definitely isn’t. Image is definitely false.

So is urine the new Robitussin?
Gravity is a function of both mass and distance, so maybe being 3% closer impacts the orbit?
The opposite is taking protons out of atoms, aka radioactive decay.
Or they are psychopathic liars taking their congregation for a ride.
I don’t really know the details of how “log in with your Google/Facebook account” works on other sites, but I imagine it’d work the same way. I’m no expert on this stuff tho.
It wouldn’t be centralized. There would be multiple instances and you’d choose which one to use to host your account.
I like your idea, though. It doesn’t solve the problem of moving your account from one Lemmy instance to another, for example, but it does reduce barriers to entry for other fediverse platforms.
Hmmm what if there was a new fediverse service dedicated to hosting fediverse accounts. You would choose an instance of that service to create an account and then use that account to register with a fediverse instance of Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. Kind of like you can login to various websites with your Google or Facebook account.
That would mean a single account could be used with any Fediverse service (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.), all post history could be aggregated, and you could easily move from one instance to another.
Lemmy, Mastodon, etc., would have to be enhanced to accept this mode of registration of course.
It’s not essential for me that these different platforms talk to each other. A microblogging platform doesn’t need to (maybe even shouldn’t) integrate with a forum or vice versa. Each has its own role and muddying the water doesn’t bring any real benefit imo.
The fact that they are decentralized is what’s important and the fediverse makes that possible for all platforms built upon it.
Moving an account from one instance to another is a real issue though, I agree with you there. Defederation would become less of a problem if you could easily move your account (with its post history) and communities you moderate to an instance that aligns with what you’re looking for, assuming it exists. Ideally everyone would have their own personal instance, but that is probably not feasible for most people.
I haven’t seen any studies, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right. However, less religious is not the same as atheist or anti-religion.
There are plenty of folks that identify as LGBTQ as well as their allies that believe in God and may even participate or quasi-participate in organized religion. They will present arguments like, “God made them this way so who am I to hate them?” or, “We are all God’s children,” or what have you.
Anyways, an atheistic society doesn’t guarantee an LGBTQ-friendly society.
Interesting solution 👍 Curious to see how this plays out!
