Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Russia adds 'LGBT movement' to list of extremist and terrorist organisations24·1 年前This is absolute insanity. Hopefully, the entire Russian LGBTQ+ community will move from that awful place.

I’d like to have a source for this claim, please.

Let me know if you want it and I’ll send it to you in a direct message. I’ve already sent it to @UntitledQuitting@reddthat.com
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Beeper couldn’t bring iMessage to Android — but it can still make a great chat app5·1 年前I don’t believe there’s a wait list anymore. You should be able to just download it from an app store for free. In the future, they’ll release a premium version that will require payment.
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Beeper couldn’t bring iMessage to Android — but it can still make a great chat app13·1 年前They spent around $750,000 building that iMessage bridge…shame…However, there are many people self-hosting and still using iMessage on Android…that will, likely, get smacked down soon. I’ve used Beeper since the early Beta (a little over three years now) and I love it.

The premises are here.

Looking good…Thank you for the work!
I’m not sure about all of the features but you could look into https://jitsi.org/
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto Chat@beehaw.org•How do people look at American society and think "this is something to aspire to be fully involved in"?English30·1 年前The corruption and income inequality, in this country, disgusts me.
Thank you for being an active (i.e. moderator) part of the Beehaw project. It means a lot to me considering what you are going through.
When I was going through the toughest part of my life (I’ll spare everyone the details), a friend of mine said to me: “This too shall pass”. At the time, I felt like their statement was trite and dismissive.
Once I made it out into the other side of that shit, I realized that this was one of the best things that was said to me.
What you are going through is temporary. You will overcome this. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•In Britain, 'Antisemitism and Negative Attitudes About Jewish People Have Become Mainstream, Pervasive'5·1 年前…stop conflating Zionism with Judaism…
Well, that’s the rub. Lighting candles or throwing water onto people’s foreheads isn’t Judaism nor Christianity.
I believe that very many people, who claim to be either Jewish or Christian, do not have the fundamental knowledge of their own faith traditions. To be even more specific, they have no clue what the core of their faith tradition teaches.
I’ve been studying academic biblical scholarship for around thirty years, so that is why I can speak to this issue. I could go on and on about this subject matter and I may make some in-depth posts about it in the future.
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Gen Z is bringing back landline phones because they think they look ‘cool’: ‘I love to twirl the cord’8·1 年前The world will be a better place the day after every serious news media organization leaves twitter and tells all their journalists they cannot use it as anything other than an original source to what a specific public figure has to say.
YES!!!
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•is there any foss discord client for mobile?3·1 年前I’ve been with Beeper since beta testing and use it with Discord. iMessage works fine for me btw. If anyone wants an invite, then I’d be happy to give you one.
