Today I got the answer from a request about the app of my health insurance about "Why does it contain Firebase Analytics and Google AdMob?" and "Why does it require Google Play services?". It helps. One doesn't have to always go into full debate mode. Instead: Ask questions, be friendly, make informed decisions.

@lo You know, I'm usually against the whole, concept of "every mistake you've ever made" being immortal on the internet, but in this case it's not so bad.

@bclindner@mastodon.technology It really is pretty cool. I wonder where we will be in the future. Will we have machines that can print out completely organic computers or will some of the products designed for space be super robust and be able to last generations?

@Asianking@dingdash.com The government is just tightening its grip on the people and opening the door for all kinds of evil.

@lo I didn't hear anything that put her in a bad light, just made her more down to earth. I did like the Christmas stuff she put together, but obviously that is work and a lot of pressure, especially for the White House.
