Summary of Wikipedia: Kimpa Vita, burned as a heretic. Religious tenets among others: Jesus, Mary and Saint Francis were born in Kongo.
The real reason for being executed was probably because she was a threat to people in power, not that she claimed something silly.
Ah, sorry. I meant someone executed by the church for it.
Do you have a wikipedia article? I’d like to read it.
Checked wikipedia. I found the following crimes that the church executed people for:
Being a (crypto) Jew, criticizing the papacy, being an atheist, saying Jesus was from Kongo, witchcraft.
Anyone else got some crimes to add? I don’t count the local authorities executing someone for whatever a holy book says, but the Catholic/protestant/orthodox church did
Max three beeps is okay.
Or getting on the wrong train and be carried away in the wrong direction and miss your appointment.
And the one big customer who has standardized on xlsx, docx etc and use one of the two features that make the file look awful on anything not ms.
At work we run some software that while you can get it to run under Linux it’s not worth the effort even for me to bother.
One supplier is slowly moving towards the runtime being available on BSD at least. They also somewhat decoupled from visual studio in the latest release, while still being mandatory still it’s a step in the right direction.
The Nordic countries.
After over a decade of using it exclusively at home and partially at work I still googled how to add users to a group last week.
Does a new one every few years count?
I use Linux because it gets out of my way and lets me get things done.
To you Linux seems to be the thing that needs to get done…?
Weakness, If you’re here for anything other than the narrow view.
Even if you’re here for the the narrow view take a moment and consider if an echo chamber is good for you.
You’ll just have to vote for the lesser evil, whichever side you’re on.
Cryptocurrencies can be useful as currencies. Not very useful as investment though.
Like with any new technology. Remember the blockchain hype a few years back? Give it a few years and we will have a handful of areas where it makes sense and the rest of the hype will die off.
Everyone sane probably realizes this. No one knows for sure exactly where it will succeed so a lot of money and time is being spent on a 10% chance for a huge payout in case they guessed right.
It sounds like mummy still pays your bills. Troll grade: C-.
North Scandinavia.
Most of the electricity here is hydroelectric that has been built many years ago so the power plants are paid off.
The price during summer is very low. In the winter especially the cold months is much higher with Dec-Feb being the peak.
The determining factor is still the capex for storing it. At $50 it makes no sense. At $0.2 it makes sense in some places. I don’t know which assumption is correct, I expect to be wrong in 50% of the cases when I argue on the internet.
You have to build and maintain the storage.
Even if the electricity is free you’ll have to replace your battery once in a while and at current prices that is ludicrously expensive.
It’s cheaper to pay an already built fossil fuel plant to idle with spare capacity.
Give it a few years for battery technology and it may look different.
I’ve been sitting down for hours. I really want to stand up and mind my own fucking business.
