I have ulcerative colitis and this is me

Evangelical app 'Bless Every Home' is mapping personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and “prayerwalking” rituals targeting them. (newrepublic.com)

It puts a lot of features at the fingertips of the faithful, including the ability to filter whole neighborhoods by religion, ethnicity, “Hispanic country of origin,” “assimilation,” and whether there are children living in the household....

Are you trying to convince them they're wrong? Or just get them to leave you alone? Wouldn't it be simpler to just tell them you're a believer (in whatever thing they're preaching to you) and then wish them a blessed day or whatever? That would surely get them off your back.

I'm an iPhone user, and i'll probably stay that way, but I've tried to de-google my life as much as possible and I'd consider de-appleing if there was an alternative that wasn't google'd up. What do anti-google self-host folks do about smartphones? Android is "open" i guess, but it's crammed full of adware and trackers and all sorts of garbage.

Linux for desktop is an easy-peasy transition; linux for mobile, no so much

I work for an Android OEM; i am quite familiar with GMS and AOSP versions of Android. I was unclear what i meant - software choices on Android are highly limited when trying to avoid adware and trackerware apks. It's just unfortunately a platform where the value extracted from it is way more often from provide free but not great software that also mines your life. not too many options for great software that also doesn't mine you, free or paid.

Sometime last year I felt some lumps in my scrotum. worried it could be a sign of balls cancer, I went and had them checked. I have probably better health insurance than most people i know. Cost about the same. Outrageous. but hey, turns out i don't have balls cancer so i guess it could be worse.

Let's say I got myself one of those arm-based single board computers that can run android. Is there not a way to install Android TV instead of "regular" android? i assume you're saying it's not because it requires GMS cert or something.
