According to Jewish law, it is, in the case of a Jewish father and a non-Jewish mother, the child is not a Jew.


According to Jewish law, almost anyone can convert to Judaism.


It is really not an easy or straightforward process. Of the major world religions, it’s probably the hardest to convert into.

Being born into it is the most common and ‘supported’ way.


Converting to Judaism can be easier than many people assume, sometimes even simpler than earning a high school degree. It's important to note that Judaism is not a proselytizing religion, meaning it doesn't actively seek to convert others. Instead, conversion is a deeply personal choice, and those who pursue it are welcomed after a meaningful process.

Judaism is actually one of the major world religions, though it's much smaller in terms of population compared to Christianity, Islam, or Hinduism [1]. Despite its smaller numbers, it has had a significant influence on Western culture, ethics, and religious thought, particularly as the foundation for both Christianity and Islam.

Islam requires reciting a short sentence with conviction.[https://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~msa/tour/ch3-6.htm].

Christianity requires (depending on who you ask/sect) - believing in Christ as your savior, or baptism, or being confirmed. Generally not an arduous process.

Hinduism, you believe in the Dharma, and as long as you aren’t angering people enough they kick you out, you are Hindu. Some would argue, as long as you don’t believe you are something else, you are Hindu. Notably, caste can be tricky. There might also be a form you should fill out.[https://hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/407/is-it-true-...]

Buddhism, you join the Sangha (show up), or follow teachings. There is no test or anything. Many Buddhists don’t directly do those things, and I’ve never heard anything say they ‘weren’t Buddhist’. Maybe a terrible Buddhist, but what else is new?

By those standards, is not Judaism the toughest and most difficult? Personally, I’d take it as a point of pride.

Why not ask Jesus? He said it requires giving everything you have to the kingdom, following the spirit of the Law more fully than the Jews themselves do, and loving the Lord and your neighbor with all your heart. He additionally said that many who claim to be Christian are not, and will be judged accordingly.


Oh and accepting Him as your Lord, not savior. Lord is the predicate, Savior is the consequence.


Do you have his number? Everyone I call tries to tell me I’m crazy in Spanish.


Fortunately, He took the time to document His work prior to leaving the company.


Not to take from your earlier point, but the evangelisms were not written by him. His teaching was oral and experiential, not written.


Yes. Still, His work is documented.


Like Siddhartha Gautama, and Muhammad, not by themselves however.


Religion is a very sensitive topic. Full stop.


I agree. I really like the ALT shortcuts on Haiku, and I remap my external keyboard on macOS so command is mapped to ALT rather than Super.


I gave it all my blog posts (https://ebruce613.prose.sh/) and the result... hilarious. https://0x0.st/XE4h.mp3


Maybe you should try joining a pubnix/tilde, like ctrl-c.club, tilde.team or blinkenshell, and sshing into there from the iPad.


Quite a lot of people use Haiku bare metal, and wifi support absolutely is present.


Are you one of them? I am curious what the experience is like trying to use it as anything like a daily system.


I am, although I do not use it as a daily driver, I have bare metal installs on two different computers. In my experience, it is very snappy, and always fast, except for some browsers, and wifi support for my specific wifi cards is there, and works fine, although not perfectly. In regard to using it as a daily system, browser-wise, especially since Firefox has been ported, it works well enough. Webmail can be used fairly easily, but most of the email clients available only support regular pop/imap authentication, and not oauth. But then, whether you can daily drive it depends on your specific use cases and hardware.


I would have loved to use it as my daily laptop one year ago but it lacked a password at login. Is it still the case ?


Yes, it is still single-user. Have you considered a BIOS or bootloader password?


I didn't, thinking it would be too weak but you're probably right. Will give it a try today for my last day off for summer !


That's great, let me know how it goes!


No, that was nine days ago. If you look at the most recent screenshots you can see that text rendering is working fine.


In a couple weeks.



I think you did not understand the challenge. It was not any character in any font on the computer, it was any character that you can, and do, find physically, in real life.


Yes, I know. And pictorial fonts are used in the physical world. I was providing examples for some of those.


Many BASIC dialects did this.
