  • You’re right, I used the term replace where scholars might use fulfil. I was told in many instances where old vs new contradictions come up, that the old testament was fulfilled and that the new testament took precedent in most cases of contradiction. So I shouldn’t have used the word replace. But my understanding hasn’t particularly changed. It may have been colored by the positions of Professors I had spoken to in the past. They tended to be from the Church of the Nazarene Universities.


  • Not to mention that the old and new testament are generally viewed as distinct collections of scripture where the new testament is meant to replace the old testament. Any contradictions between the two are easily dismissed as just that, new replacing old.

    That’s not to say bigots won’t use the old testament to push their dogma’s though.



  • Literally nobody is advocating for the release of source code. Read the damn petition.

    This is very specifically about making sure when you drop support for a product you sold, that it is still usable. Every live service game has testing server files that can be released. Even if those files are a retail product, that’s better than what these people are doing. There is not a single good reason games should be left unplayable after the publisher decides it is no longer profitable to maintain it. Servers do not have to run on the publisher’s dime and there is no longer an expectation for things like anticheat to function once the product reaches the end of expected support. Hundreds of thousands of games have been released and had their support end without taking the playability of the game away from the customer.





  • People had the same argument about 4K from 2K and the same argument about frame rates higher than 60fps. But, the bigger counter to that argument is that even if that were true, additional features take up additional bandwidth and the true power of these new connector standards is in the additional bandwidth. Things like 4K HDR at very high refresh rates and additional features like 3D and VRR can have signal room on the same cable enabling the creation of displays that can do more at once than they could before. Also there are high pixel density displays and projectors that can make use of 8K and 16K footage. It’s niche for now but the technology advancing is not a bad thing.



  • Most banks restrict custom ROM and root access devices for security purposes. Same with MFA apps. I get it. From an IT security perspective, restrictions on software compatibility limit the number of failure points. Even if you find a custom OS that is more secure as an OS, it is installed through opening up your device to security risk and there is no real requirement for you to close up that security risk afterward. My company has made the same choice to restrict supported platforms for our services.

    McDonald’s app restricting the OS is probably some security decision they made because it’s more secure even when they probably don’t need it though.
