I don't hate them. I used to be a huge Google fanboy, but I simply don't trust them anymore.

It's not a data safety issue as such, even though they could shut down my account on a whim and I'd lose 20 years of data, but more like I don't want to use any new products they put out. For now I have Gmail, drive and photos, because it's very inconvenient to move, but I can't be excited for anything they make (or say they will) anymore. Shutting down Inbox was the last straw for me and I don't see a way to undo that loss of trust.

This is good news for bot farms working to sow division.

What? Sweden don't have scouts? My daughter was on a scout camp there last year and I believe there were swedish scouts also.

Regardless, in Denmark we have a few scout organizations. One of them KFUM (which would translate to the same as YMCA) which is the christian boy's scouting org, that also allows girls, and the similar one for girls that don't allow boys. Both of them has Christianity as a pretty foundational thing and most of the clubhouses are in or near churches and they have church services on camps and shit. Then there's DDS (dark blue uniforms) and they're not connected to any faith, but are still committed to the "spiritual development" of the scout. However this can be done in other ways than inflicting religion on children. In 1973 they merged the boy and girl scouts, so it's just one thing now. The yellow scouts branched from DDS in the 80's, with a mission to go back to more traditional scouting values. Not sure what that means, but they're a also non-religious and non-political organization.

Finally there's some Danish Baptist scouts but I don't know much about them other than they're likely a more religious variant of KFUM, attached to another christian flavor.

Yes, will the injustices ever stop? Here's a great article about it.

I don't mind that other users have this option. I'm not worried about them. It's all the expected shenanigans of the companies that'll remove their apps from the store I don't much like.

I'm using Voyager browse and interact with Lemmy. It looks more or less exactly like Apollo and it's a webapp. There's a few small things that's not exactly as a native app, like double tapping the top of a scrolling window to scroll to top, but it's really minor. I bet most people wouldn't know it was a webapp if they weren't told.

It even works with the sharing intent so I can share to native apps. Pretty awesome.

People are downvoting you, because they fail to see the reference to Tucker Carlson always being mock confused about even very simple things and making that stupid fart-smelling face.

Ungoverned is the way to go. It should only be used by private companies and then let capitalism regulate itself. It's a self-regulating system and if the consumers don't like mind controll gas, it'll eventually go away.

Never forget why they're called "abrahamic religions" in the first place. The foundation tale is basically one of an abusive relationship: "Sacrifice your son to prove you love me. Ok, just kidding, I just needed to know you'd do it. Love you."

Well, if they didn't care about being flooded with machine generated trash, they wouldn't have set the limit to books you can self publish down to a mere three per day.

Here's a basically fully automated service where you can generate a shitty book for $200. You can even have it printed as a paperback for more useless waste or have it AI narrated as a shitty audiobook.

I hate everything about it.
