  The reactions to the Satanic Temple using pro-religion laws, and social media posts about public displays of established religions like Muslim prayers, show that most Americans do not approve displays of any religion except their own. With that in mind, the reasonable compromise is that there shouldn't be religious displays inside of state institutions.

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

  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.

  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.

  That's why monitoring and digital calendars exist.

  The problem with most dumphone modes is that "normal" Phone and SMS (RCS makes the latter better, but your provider needs to support it, and it usually adds one more Google dependency) are useless if your social network extends past one country, and that's not that uncommon in Europe. I would need to at least be able to include Signal for it to work for me.

  Sometimes classics are classics for a reason. And by classics I mean crabs 🦀.

  Amd they need to do something with calves. Cows only produce milk after giving birth, and dairy producers are not going to keep a freeloader around. /s
