Boy Scouts of America changing name to more inclusive Scouting America after years of woes
  • 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.

  • Apple Walks Back Decision to Disable Home Screen Web Apps in the EU
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • None of these people exist, but you can buy their books on Amazon anyway
  • 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.

  • Joe Rogan Mistakenly Blasts Biden’s Mental Fitness Over Something Trump Actually Said
  • 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.

    [NSFL] A Russian soldier was severely injured by an FPV drone in the Avdiiv direction.
  • 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.

  • Scientists show how ‘doing your own research’ leads to believing conspiracies — This effect arises because of the quality of information churned out by Google’s search engine
  • I've researched this by watching literally dozens of minutes of videos on YouTube. Real hardcore stuff with some things that most sheeple probably wouldn't be ready to accept, but it directly contradicts the main stream media narrative, so you know it's true. Also, basically all the claims were widely discredited and it's pretty obvious that so much energy wouldn't have been put into disproving something that was actually untrue, unless someone was trying to hide something from us.

  • Apple wants AI to run directly on its hardware instead of in the cloud
  • 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: https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/scenes-differential-privacy

  • USA Will Invest in High-Speed ​​Train to Fight Climate Change
  • Sure, but if we just didn't do stuff because it's hard, then we'd never chosen to go to the moon. That guy on TV said so.

    We might not do stuff because it's an awful and downright terrible idea, but both looking at humanity as whole and my own personal experience, that doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent either.
