Less formal alternative: IMHO: You're wrong.

No. Conservation of mass and energy only prohibit the total mount of mass and energy changing. The universe could have always existed with that mass and energy. We have good evidence that a lot of mass and energy was spread out by the expansion of a much smaller universe around 13.8 billion years ago, but we don't know what the universe was like before that, it could have always existed, or it could have been formed by the collapse of another universe, we don't know for sure.

Anyway, the laws of physics are just empirical observations, they have been proven wrong before. Einstein's general relativity disagrees with Newton's laws of motion and, further study reveled that Newton was (very subtly under normal conditions) wrong.

Unix (including Linux and BSD) tend to prefer tar. I have seen many Unix systems without zip support, but have yet to find one that does not have tar, even imbedded systems with just a few megs of disc and ram have tar

The fast enough part is key. To generate a signal on the AM broadcast band you would have to rotate it at 800 thousands rotations per second. As for being able to interfere, radio signals are often in the microvolt/m range by the time they reach the reciver, and a strong magnet can produce a few volts in a small (10-20 turns) coil just being moved by hand. If you somehow managed to get a magnet spining at the 1575 million rotations per second as in the meme (without it disintegrating on contact with air, or getting ripped apart, or turning the air to plasma), it would produce massive amounts of field, tens of thousands of volts per meter.

GPS signals are actually especially weak, as low as 0.3 uV/m.

Meanwhile the pacman -Syu sect:

If you don't bother to provide any argument, I won't bother to argue.

You can connect to most instances over Tor, but hosting a server over a Tor hidden service would cause problems as it can't be connected to by stock servers. (If you convince others to run other Tor hidden service instances, they could probably federate with each other)

People with faith definitely have quite a different world view to me but I doubt that leads to a happier life. Christians might find satisfaction in following Jesus and hoping for heaven, but I can do the same by finding a fun hobby. I could never find meaning in what comes down to old myths and legends, so instead of hoping for a good afterlife, I can just do something meaningful now.

I doubt that hoping for a good afterlife is all that happy of a life, in fact I have seen it lead to dissatisfaction on people leaving a religion beleaving that they might have wasted a good chunk of their life. All research I am aware of points to happened being determined by biology and shows that doing something provides much more satisfaction then hoping you're right.

If someone doubts their faith it can result in a lot of misery because of the sunk-costs fallicy, being terrified that if the religion is wrong they have spent a lot of their life chasing a fairy tale.

Most are on lemmynsfw.com. You can subscribe so that they show up on your feed even if using another instance. You will need to have "Show nsfw" enabled in account settings.

The simple solution here is to try to contact someone before assuming they have been kidnapped. Of course the goal of scammers is to make you panic, and stop thinking rationally. A deepfake could definitely help with that.

It does not, right now I can see posts from other instances (like this one), without leaving mine (discuss.tchncs.de). You might actually get a better experience on smaler instances, as the big three (lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, bbeehaw.org) can get quite slow at times.

Foss pretty much exclusively, but how easily possible this is really depends on what you do.
