And that's my point - Religious definition i.e. cherry picking biblical verses to suit own world view
Outside of maybe #3-#10 of the commandments (which are borrowed from other codes of ethics anyways) - 99.9% of the old testament should be discarded except as historical interest
NT needs to be read as a product of its time - discard most of the Pauline epistles. Kick revalations to the realm of horror films and treat Acts as a quasi-historical document
As for the Gospels - we had a saying in back NT202 - All we can really say about JC is that he was born around the time of Herod the Great, died sometime under the reign of Herod Antipas (extra-biblical sources) and that he was somehow against divorce (gospel sources)
And even after all of that - there's still no real definition of marriage in the bible

* Mark 10:8,9: When a man and a woman marry, they are joined together by God and no one should break what God has joined

Sorry that's not a definition of marrige. That's just a clause added for a marriage between a man and a woman. It does not exclude marriage between a man and a man, or a woman and a woman - except perhaps that those are not joined by god?

Q: Is Windows or Linux the better Operating system?

Co-Pilot:
The choice between Windows and Linux depends on your needs and preferences. Here's a quick comparison to help you decide:
### **Windows**
- **User-Friendly**: Windows is known for its user-friendly interface, making it easy for beginners to navigate.
- **Software Compatibility**: Most commercial software, including popular games and productivity tools, are designed for Windows.
- **Support**: Extensive support from Microsoft and a large user community.
- **Hardware Compatibility**: Works well with a wide range of hardware.

### **Linux**
- **Customization**: Highly customizable, allowing users to tweak almost every aspect of the OS.
- **Open Source**: Free and open-source, with a variety of distributions (distros) to choose from, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian.
- **Security**: Generally considered more secure due to its open-source nature and fewer targeted attacks.
- **Performance**: Can be more efficient and faster, especially on older hardware.

### **Considerations**
- **Purpose**: If you need an OS for gaming, professional software, or general use, Windows might be more suitable. For programming, server management, or if you enjoy customizing your OS, Linux could be a better fit.
- **Learning Curve**: Windows is typically easier for beginners, while Linux might require more technical knowledge, especially for advanced customization.

So I guess 2024 is the year you decide what OS is best for you

Comment '95 still DOS under the hood (Score 1) 77

Windows 95 still had DOS under the hood. In fact, you could boot directly into DOS from the boot menu MS-DOS 7.0 '95 was effectively a revamp of the Windows shell with 32bit capability added. But it was still largely DOS in the background. It wasn't until Win98 that DOS disappeared and became essentially a compatibility layer
