Pope of the Machine God.
God hates u bro.
I like the idea of a technologically literate pope.
he has a ThinkPad with two partitions. one has TempleOS, the other runs Arch with HolyWM
My favorite thing about TempleOS is it’s written in Holy C.
Nice
As long as he doesn’t end up concluding every sermon with “I use Arch btw”
deleted by creator
Certainly not. He uses Pope!_OS
And just like that a new meme distro has
been bornbeen ordained.I figured it would have to be temple os
I get the vibe Terry was more of a protestant guy
At the very least he grew up Catholic
our emissary reports that The Holy Roman Empire entered the Information Era
Ironically, the pope is probably more tech literate than anyone over 50 in Germany’s government. I bet Merz doesn’t even know how to generate a PDF from a Word document.
he has a BS in math. not something you usually associate with the pope 🤷♂️
Has a math degree but believes in infinity.
oh my sweet summer child… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity
I’d say he must be very logical except, you know…
Surprising amount of extemely logical people go full horse shoe into believing “religion is a useful technology despite being mostly quack”. To me this is just sociopathy of a different flavor.
Literally René Descartes, arguably one of the most important mathematicians and philosophers in history, spends most of his meditations trying to prove the existence of God. Religious people can be very logical and believe in their religion for logical reasons, even if you and I disagree with those reasons.
believe in their religion for logical reasons
lol. there is literally no way to use logic to infer existence of god.
people believe in religion because they were brainwashed to it, usually at young age when they lacked the rational apparatus to resist such brainwashing.
Our greatest minds were peoplw of faith Plus beliving doesnt make one dumb
I didn’t say it made him dumb, I implied that faith doesn’t flow from logic. Plus it’s a little problematic to say that our great minds were people of faith when, for much of our history, not being a person of faith could mean death. But it’s true, there were folks like Thomas Aquinas who were brilliant and more than average religious.
You could life and not be xealos or pious aka faithful. The past wasnt as xealot as you think it was
Edit: i would have poikted to Leibnitz and Hum as brilliant people, especially Leibnitz, who were faithful
One plus one is two and Jesus is God incarnate.
Have you read his Encyclical?
There are many things that I disagree with the pope about, but it’s well reasoned and argued, you can mostly skip the first two chapters, but three through five are worth a read.
I have not. I was raised catholic and consumed a lot of catholic stuff in my early years. I’m an atheist now and just can’t get interested in any of it.
The chapters I said to skip are the religious stuff.
The rest is mostly about AI and why we maybe shouldn’t.
Religious leaders condemning AI will never not be hilarious. “The thought police doesn’t like thought machines”
Certainly can’t disagree with him there
Someone gotta deal with the Daemons
“Catholicism.exe has stopped working”
(Choice buttons are “Wait for the Cardinals to respond” and “Schism now”)
did you turn it off confess your sins, and turn it back on again?
Yes I did, may you be touched by his noodly appendage, any other bright ideas?
It goes to show that no matter who you are, your family will always know you as “the IT guy” and interrupt anything you are doing because their computer is broken.
Old skool definition of technopope - John Paul II in 1995:
Disclaimer: this is all probably fake. Sadeness was old news by 1995. Also I’m high.
Also I’m high.
I’m not complaining. I might be the teensiest bit high myself. Normally I’m at a [4] but today is a [7] day.
Also I’m high.
Not judging, mind you. I hope you’re having fun or otherwise enjoying it 🙂
Aww, you pet all the stoners you meet? That’s so sweet!
Disclaimer: this is all probably fake
The picture looks exactly like Pope Francis, not JP2, so…
Who better to resurrect a dead computer?
“It has risen”
Why, a techromancer, of course!
By which I mean a tech necromancer, not a tech romancer (pictured below)
And it came to pass that Leo spoke unto Mr. Lovera, saying: Behold, my brother John Prevost, even from the city of Chicago, did yet call upon the pontiff for aid with his machines.
And Mr. Lovera bore witness, saying: Thus spake Roberto unto his brother: “John, I am become pope.” And John answered him, saying: “Oh, forgive me, O pope, for my computer is broken, and I have none to mend it.”

Might I suggest a replacement?

It isn’t cannon, but close!
Getting into St. Peter’s Chair to give IT advice.
Every penny saved on IT is a penny that can be used for lawyers to defend pedophiles. As God intended.
Go back to reddit and ruin fun there

A homophobic and transphobic book club led by pedophiles isn’t “fun”. The Pope thinks your whole instance is a sin, stop defending someone that hates you.
Calling it a book club. Oooh soo edging and daring. Why not just let people have fun. With fun i mean their faith and all that goes to it.
Yes the pedo cases are well aware but those have nothing to do with the faith in itself…
