It was near the top of everything, or whatever we call /r/all over here, that's where I saw it. I think it was in a technology community, but not 100% sure.

I can easily see this being a safety issue. You don't usually want employees wearing stuff that could anger other employees or customers, no matter the reason.

Most Atheists define Atheism as "lack of belief in a God", which seems like it applies here. Agnostic is usually defined as "lack of knowledge of a God", which also works here, so both Agnostic and Atheist.

It makes sense when you look at Theist (with belief in a God) and Gnostic (with knowledge of a God) that adding an A before it just means "without".

As a Sync user myself, why should I switch? I've been using Sync for years on Reddit, I love the interface, and I don't mind if the dev makes a bit of money from it with the occasional and minimally intrusive ads or paid ad removal.

No problem, It's interesting how differently the terms are used within and outside of the atheist community. I think it's also important to realize that most Atheists are going to have more certainty when it comes to a specific God not existing, compared to the general concept of a God. It's much more likely that some kind of God exists than the specific one of a given religion exists. Like I would personally put the general idea of a God existing at maybe 50% (like a God who created the universe and let nature take its course), but the specific God of a given religion that listens to your prayers at near 0%.

Antitheist is one term, I think the more common one in the same area would be Gnostic Atheist, which given my definitions from before would claim knowledge that gods don't exist.

As with anything there are always more sub categories, some go as far as to say knowledge of God is unknowable, or that no form of a God exists, but most seem to stick with Agnostic Atheist, or just Atheist.

At least among most Atheists it's defined as lack of belief. It's also arguably the most correct definition based on the parts of the word itself.

Theist is usually defined as "with belief", so it makes sense that A-theist means without belief. Adding that A to another word usually means without, like asymptomatic (without symptoms) or amoral (without morals).

The same thing can be said with Agnostic, Gnostic is with knowledge, A-gnostic is without knowledge.

Agnostic/Gnostic answers the question of "do you have knowledge that a God exists". Atheist/Theist answers the question of "do you have belief that a God exists".

I think calling Atheism a religion does degrade its value. It brings atheism into the same category as religion, it promotes the idea that atheists need just as much faith as religious people, it basically turns science into a religion.

Just to be clear, I define Atheism as "without belief in a God", that would include anyone saying they are agnostic.

I never understood why some people take one comment of "I don't agree with that criticism" and think you are some diehard fanboy? I don't like Apple, I don't like Tesla or Elon Musk, but sometimes I disagree with some criticism they get and basically every single time someone thinks I must be a loyal fan.

I'm sure there are those who will or could make great use of USB3 speeds, but I think like 99% of the users won't notice the difference because they just don't use it. I know I've never used USB for data transfer in my last couple Android phones, I only use it for charging and even that is greatly reduced since I mainly use wireless charging now.

[-] Chriskmee@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I feel like not many people actually use the data port on their phones anymore, I know I haven't used my android USB port for anything other than fast charging for I feel like 10 years. Do you even use the data connector on your phone?

I could be wrong, but I thought the only reason Japanese whaling wasn't profitable is that it's for "research" so it can't be for profit, and also all the physical harassment from "eco terrorist" groups.

To achieve this goal, i’m saying that if google were to lose profits from people using ad blockers, they are more likely to extract profits from their creators than sacrifice their bottom line.

The creators are their product, the adblock users cost everyone money and provide no benefit, why would they punish their product over the users costing them money? The adblock users aren't the bottom line, they are no benefit, and cost both YouTube and the creators in lost revenue.

This is why i wholeheartedly support things like Patreon, Ko-Fi, etc. because that directly supports creators and means that they don’t have to completely rely on a company that no longer says “don’t be evil”.

That's great and all, but YouTube still has bills to pay, they can't just let you use the service free without ads, let you just give money to creators through those other services, and expect to even break even.
