In my experience iPhones (12 and 14 specifically, are the ones I have had) are plenty durable that you can use them without a case.

I do and only have some slight scratches in the screen. Nothing noticeable during normal usage.

Only taking cash does not "just work" in denmark, because many people don't walk around with cash anymore.

Sorry about deleting the post. Couldn't remeber if beehaw was one of the instances with rules again dissenting opinions after some time away from Lemmy (I'm pretty sure there was one which would rather be without).

But I think you managed to quote most of it.

Being wanted/needed should be viewed in relation to everything else you could do with the resources available is my point. Not only your particular hobby/interest.

And I still maintain that if you want pure art, you are better off lowering your expectations for professionalism and find people who do it for reasons that are not financial.

That would then be an entirely different situation?

You are describing a one party state. Kind of optimistic to assume that if you manage to hand all of the power to one organization, with no real opposition, that it won't be corrupted (more than it already is).

Denmark has a Lutheran state church officially recognised by the constitution.

I'm pretty sure that using the term "Semite" in any other context than the modern interpretation of "antisemitic", meaining prejudice against Jews, stopped being a thing roughly around the same time that we stopped treating the bible as an authority on the classification of human races. Same with Hamites and Japhetites.

nation…..thing

we prefer the term "sui generis geopolitical entity" ;)

Having a bunch of answers to very poor questions is not the goal.

If you managed to parse out a good question in there of general interest that has not been answered yet, you can submit it yourself and provide your own answer. That way you are actually adding something valuable to the site.

I agree that it is really hard to contribute in a meaningful way though.
