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.
Following the release of the second beta version of iOS 17.4, it emerged that Apple had restricted the functionality of iOS web apps in the EU.

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.
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 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.
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.”
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.
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.
I all for the Rogan-bashing, but had he not since admitted he’s seen enough evidence to realize that the moon landing was real?
However, knowing full well that he, although he considers himself a “sceptic” (in the modern sense of the word, where no actual scepticism is involved), was taken in by a conspiracy theory made up of whole cloth, it doesn’t make him the least bit less likely to fooled by other conspiracy theories – probably because they, mistakenly, makes him feel smart.
I hope he got to experience indoor plumbing at least.
What a fucking miserable and undignified way to go. I’m sure Ukrainian guys suffer similar horror, but at least they’re defending their homeland. This is just getting mangled for your masters imperialist dreams.
You probably underestimate the amount of effort Apple puts into not doing this, to maintain user privacy, and for a good while their services have suffered for it.
As an example I’d highlight the year in review feature between Apple Music and Spotify. “Replay” is significantly worse than “Wrapped” and I believe the difference is data handling is the key differentiator. However, there are some advances in balancing privacy 2ith utility, as highlighted in this post from Apple ML research: …apple.com/…/scenes-differential-privacy

Pressure from islamic states that we want to export goods to and the increased threat of terrorism.
I’m fine with that reasoning, as long as we remember that this is not because of any religion as the law frames it. It’s specifically a law that’s necessary because Islam had a temper problem. If you criticize or even ridicule Buddhist, at worst you’re just an asshole. Do the same with Islam, then comes the bombs and beheadings and mass stabbings.
I completely accept being an islamophobe, because outside of conservative christianity (especially in the US), it’s basically the only religion that’s given me reason to fear and I fear and dislike the two in equal measure and for the same reasons.
Vaccines can be delivered through the skin using ultrasound. This method doesn’t damage the skin and eliminates the need for painful needles.

They will make up stories that ultra sounds scans is a nefarious way of vaccinating you without consent and consequently refusing to go to important checkups.
They’re incredibly predictable. Just pretend to barely understand the subject matter, then invent the most alarmist way of misunderstanding it.
