  • This is probably produced by the same content farms that generate similar news about the impending death of EVs due to miraculous advances in hydrogen powered vehicles.

    Obviously there are no sources and the only images are either unrelated or AI generated.

    As to you question “why does anyone read this stuff?” I believe people love stuff that confirms their hopes and are more than willing to compromise on any level of skepticism, when reading stuff that aligns with their views.



  • 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.



  • 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.

    Nah, they should keep that stuff on Android. I like that I only have one app store. I used custom roms, weird alternative app stores and all that stuff for years on Android, but I like that iOS is built on a different philosophy.

    Also, I just realized today that if EU forces Apple to open iOS to more stores, shouldn’t they force MS and Sony to do the same for Xbox and Playstation?

    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.

    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.
