He’s actually the bishop of Rome. This guy must be unaware that the Avignon anti-popes have been inactive for a few years and you don’t have to specify which Pope you mean atm.

le holy poop

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 375 points 1 week ago

I like the idea of a technologically literate pope.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 190 points 1 week ago

As long as he doesn't end up concluding every sermon with "I use Arch btw"

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago

Archdioces Linux

[-] PoastRotato@lemmy.world 254 points 1 week ago

Certainly not. He uses Pope!_OS

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 90 points 1 week ago

And just like that a new meme distro has ~~been born~~ been ordained.

[-] Sludge@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

There's white smoke coming out of my PC. That's normal for this OS, right?

[-] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago

I figured it would have to be temple os

[-] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

I get the vibe Terry was more of a protestant guy

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.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago

TempleOS

ThinkerOS, TempleOS is dead.

Then again, maybe the pope likes an excercise.

You say, his holiness dabbles in APP-cromancy?

he has a BS in math. not something you usually associate with the pope 🤷‍♂️

[-] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Pope Francis was a chemist.

[-] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

interesting, did not know that.

[-] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Unlike some Christians, looking at you Baptists, Catholics have long seen science as a way to know more about God.

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.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

The chapters I said to skip are the religious stuff.

The rest is mostly about AI and why we maybe shouldn't.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago

Certainly can't disagree with him there

"Catholicism.exe has stopped working"

(Choice buttons are "Wait for the Cardinals to respond" and "Schism now")

[-] the_abecedarian@piefed.social 93 points 1 week ago

did you turn it off confess your sins, and turn it back on again?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 1 week ago

Yes I did, may you be touched by his noodly appendage, any other bright ideas?

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 81 points 1 week ago

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:

The track he played

Disclaimer: this is all probably fake. Sadeness was old news by 1995. Also I'm high.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 week ago

Also I'm high.

Not judging, mind you. I hope you're having fun or otherwise enjoying it 🙂

If this is real, it's honestly very impressive a man spent his entire life in the clergy, genuinely devoting himself to his flock, and still kept up with tech better than his brother, who I think is in finance of some kind?

[-] 0x0@lemmy.zip -2 points 6 days ago

A priest and the internet... i wonder what kind of material is in his computer...

[-] matlag@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

Who knows? Maybe the Pope is a geek, and in his free time, he tests then debates about the best Linux distro out there! Or he's hiding thanks to his peuso that he's an active contributor to some prominent opensource projects!

[-] DasSkelett@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 days ago

Have YOU ever seen the Pope and Daniel Stenberg together in one room at the same time? I haven't.

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."

Who better to resurrect a dead computer?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 week ago

Why, a techromancer, of course!

By which I mean a tech necromancer, not a tech romancer (pictured below)
