@hidden @kf01 I use Krita, my mom uses Affinity for photography and that's probably the best out of the proprietary ones, you don't rent it or pay for colors

>And when I exist on fedi, I expect to not receive direct threats of violent physical harm like pic related. It's about etiquette, you see. Manners, matter. Gotta be a good netizen.
>For the record, all of the direct threats of violent physical harm you see pictured here are still up and accessible, right now! Most of the people there are admins of their instances, and those instances do not have delivery issues, especially to employers or other League players.
>I got barred from 2,000 followers for asking for help. My last hope at a job, or even someone to play with, ripped asunder, taken away forever, never to be seen again for as long as I live.
This isn't an ad hoc position, just because some people violate social convention, doesn't mean that it stops existing, it's understandable that you hate them but I don't see how the rest of fedi is involved, most of which in my experience isn't like this
>Also, I'm wondering when exactly you thought the Internet was a good place to post something while being reasonably sure the content would not be scraped and archived. Certainly couldn't have been any time in the past three decades.
Never reasonably, no but I also don't think that it should stay the way that it is now
>"When I walk in the middle of the freeway, I expect people to not hit me, it's about etiquette!"
>Btw, even the UX says you must post Unlisted to opt out of discovery features. This obviously wouldn't help you against governments, advertisers, really anybody worth hiding from. But it does opt you out of as:Public.
Inapt analogy, the idea of the public scope is that it's public to users and on Pleroma at least, there is an opt-in toggle that allows indexing which as:Public doesn't respect. I don't know if Mastodon has it, because I've never used it
>For the record, governments, advertisers and the like have received *zero* direct threats of violent physical harm as the result of their fediverse indexing efforts. I have received dozens. Mine can be opted out of without ever visiting the site. Theirs cannot be opted out of for any reason at any time.
The ones that send you death threats are hypocrites then

@NEETzsche @coin @iron_bug @r000t It's about etiquette, when you post in the public scope you expect to be read by users, not scraped and archived

@Leaflord Not brutal enough, buddhist monks don't die when they light themselves on fire, they just achieve enlightenment and escape samsara

@marine @feinzer @bot Can't figure out why they reported it

@lain @augustus Not to open the can of worms, but in case you're still interested
The byzantine time period is made to differentiate the organisation of religion and the common language. Greek was always popular with the upper classes, with Hellenization only the language spoken by the commoners changed and hence the laws and some titles were written in Greek
One of important differences between the orthodox and catholic churches is the power structure. The catholic church had the concept of Papoceasarism which placed the pope above the king and other patriarchs and equal to the emperor, while the orthodox were under the kings and emperors
The first doubts of them being Romans comes from the forged letters and decrees such as the Donatio Constantini, first started by Pippin and continued by Charlemagne that gave land and legitimacy to the papacy, the goal was to make the pope return the favor by granting the title emperor to Charlemagne, making him an equal in the western power structure
Another thing is education - the eastern court was educated in classical philosophy and kept the largest library of it while in letters to the pope, the Frankish kings would ask "what's the point of learning to read"
The nomadic Bulgars were also influenced, started using Greek in court and later used byzantine architects to build their capital in a roman style and claimed they were also successors to the roman empire. Later on, Russia also claimed that
The byzantine social organisation was also different from the rest of Europe, feudalism never really spread there as the legal and philosophical tradition wasn't broken. The commoners weren't tied to their land and had the freedom of movement, trade and could work different professions independent of guilds or lords
The distribution of power wasn't based on vassalage but on themes, which were either military or civic or both and there was regulation between them
They also had public chariot games like in antiquity which were influential in politics
On the question of identity, you were roman if you spoke Greek and accepted the laws and power of the monarch, ethnicity didn't matter, you could be Latin, Greek, Syrian, Armenian, Alan, Bulgar or from Scandinavia
So, I think it would be inaccurate to call them non-Romans, as they followed the lifestyle, way of thinking and had the social structure of Latin speaking Romans, that is also the opinion of my relevant professors on the subject. Maybe the most accurate term would be Rhomaion/Rhomaioi

@augustus @lain These seem like politics commentators, I thought you were talking about a panel with academics
-
@augustus @lain I was asking because I've never heard anyone say that so I was wondering what you could base this on
-
@augustus @lain Is there anything supporting that they weren't roman except for not holding rome and donatio constantini which is a forgery?

@lain He has the youtube thumbnail face expression, he's halfway there
