I use fluxbox but that doesn’t prevent using gnome apps; my main issue with them is that god-awful look they all assumed overnight a few years ago, without the title bar and the like (I think to match the Ubuntu tendency at the time / trying to emulate the fucked-up universal touch interface thing Microsoft tried to introduce at the time ?), from gedit to, indeed, evolution. I really loathe it. And thunderbird kept a classic look (firefox didn’t, which means regular css tweaking to achieve the same result).
Also thunderbird supports calendars and webdav/webcal sync with plugins (though perhaps evolution does as well now, I haven’t checked).
I spent 30 years immersed in evangelical Christianity. I have read the Bible cover to cover. Twice. The world will be better off when your belief system is relegated to the ash heap of history.
Do you condemn Christianity because of the people or the book? Because the people dont make the religion, your own faith does. It seems like your experience of people has informed your reading of the book and your faith. If you had difficulties with other people, I won’t shed crocodile tears, but I’ll wish you the best.
Obviously Christians are horrible hypocrites. Just look at their embrace of Trump. There is no hate like Christian love.
But that’s not why I rejected Christianity. It had nothing to do with the book. Or the people. It’s down to one simple thing. There is no God. It’s a myth. It’s bronze age mythology. Everything is just man made. Men invented it. Men wrote it. Men interpret it and argue about it. It’s all made up. There. Is. No. God.
I mean, wasn’t the elimination (or extreme relaxation by American standards) of zoning laws one of the ways Tokyo has been able to afford to house so many people at such affordable rates?
Not saying we need kindergartens between the sewage recycling plant and the land fill, but being able to build housing over shopping centers would be nice.
Seriously though, being able to work somewhere that’s within walking distance, so it’s possible to have a job without also needing a car or spending hours taking the bus, is a great advantage for the person as well
