How would most people react if that was a group of Muslims? Or if the Satanic Church tried to do a small prayer there?

Yeah, it would be great if Google made this more granular. The same for Samsung with AutoBlock.

If any work it's a bug. "Dating" apps don't want to be dating apps, they want to be hookup apps because that's how they can keep repeat customers. The only way dating apps would remain dating apps under for profit companies is if they found a way to charge a subscription for long term relationships.

A "nation" is a community, and without conducting a full investigation into every individual birth, the two main indicators that a child will likely have strong ties to a national community are:

1. the parents already belong to that national community
2. the parents reside permanently in the country. Almost all countries in the mid shade of blue use this criteria for restricted birthright.

Nationality should be about building a community, so nationality should be given if the parents have an effective connection to the country. For this reason I think the best solution is combining nationality "by blood" (i.e. if one of the parents is a national), restricted "jus soli" (i.e. children of permanent residents get the nationality too), and, as an exception, I believe children that would otherwise be stateless should get nationality on birth to fix the glaring human rights issue.

As for children naturalisation, I believe any child that does most of mandatory schooling in a country should automatically get nationality.

This being said, I also believe that very few rights and duties should be restricted to nationals. People shouldn't have to live in fear of having their entire life upturned or not have access to services and social support just because they have the wrong passport.

The imbecile in chief didn't know Puerto Rico is an American Colony. Do you expect him and his lackeys to know about the Virgin Islands?

That's the thing, Software Engineers have choices.

Yes, all big companies will do some dubious things.

But then you have big tech that does all those dubious things and is also breaking democratic institutions everywhere with a sledgehammer.

And then you have Palentir, which are literally Hollywood movie villains.

At this point they are light years of their livelihood depending on it. There's no way they don't notice where the bombs are falling, they had plenty of time to look around and have decided they don't care.

They have two types of people:

• Software Engineers and Computer Scientists that don't care who gets hurt as long as they get to work on their interesting problem. I call them the Wernher von Braun club.
• The ones that are also prospective customers

The Venn Diagram might be close to a circle.

Save that for the eventually of the plebs not understanding your brilliant meme. Nothing like a good old scandal to sweep less successful endeavours under the rug.

You are illuminating wrong. First you do the meme, then you replace 3 governments, start one regional war, engineer the merger of two global entertainment companies, and make sure the right actor gets cast into a movie you'll make into a cult classic to make the meme relevant.

Android Location manager can get the location without Google Services and there are alternative notification services like ntfy.

EDIT: The location manager is part of the official API and ntfy is available on the play store, so apps using them will also be allowed. Besides, it's android, you can install alternative app stores or install apps directly. Maybe it's a good time to teach vulnerable communities how to do it safely, because using Big Tech services is not safe for them.

In a glass half full perspective, it won't send all your data to Google's servers. The part they are not saying is that the data even remotely related to your query is going to be sent to Google anyway. They are claiming they will delete the data after 72 hours, which I believe they will for now, but knowing them, there's probably going to be a sneaky policy update in a couple of years.

The CIA fucked the entire world more than all the cops put together and it's not even close. And they are not even that good at hiding it.

International intelligence agencies are like a having a bunch of police departments all competing with each other for universal jurisdiction, if some of the cops were on everyone's payroll.

A caffeine addiction and an alcohol addiction are two completely different beasts though.

As a general policy I don't drink alcohol if I feel I need a drink.

NATO requirements are also fully met if the US deems that doing nothing is the necessary action and informs the Security Council.

Article 5 has:

such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force

which might also be thoughts and prayers while Trump is in the White House and

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security

which is basically what was offered to Ukraine.

By the same logic neither does NATO's article 5.

You could make it more woke by replacing Kevin Sorbo with an actual human being, but that only affects the crossovers.

The protection is usually framed under the natural right to be safe at home, it has nothing to do with legal entitlements. i.e. someone considering a dwelling home makes it safe, not an arbitrary paper.
