My two cents (and I know this is not the right community for my comment) but : you were not really a Muslim before that either.

You don't inherit Islam in your genes or get born with it, it isn't like Judaism, being a Muslim relies only in one core principal which is "submission to God", theie isn't a good muslim or a bad Muslim if you truly analyse the Quran, by not practicing the religion and strict abidance to its major sins, you are not submitting to "Allah" aka you are not a Muslim. unlike in christianity, not avoiding major sins and accomplishing your major duties you will end up in Hell no matter whether you believed in Allah or not. In fact your view of the religion, and your interpretation o it thereof doesn't matter to him as well, Allah expects you to submit to him and all his commandments. by failing so, & according to Islam you will get the same treatment as everyone else heathens, pagans , atheist, he doesn't care about your label or if you view his religion as compatible with you feminist values or not.

So to sum up in Islam, only those who submit to Allah "submitters" are the once he calls "muslims", "Islam" means "submissions" the rest can choose whatever label they like, they are not Muslims..

They are very fierce at censoring their IP material, anything that lands on youtube that hasn't been altered to avoid copyright bot, gets taken down immediately. even shows that have aired the same day.

Yep, even when bing censors something, it gets censored by DDG aswell, DDG is just a fancy proxy.

I have been following the DMA closely, and so far it has been a big disappointment, just as I expected.

The way the EU approaches this walled garden problem, is to try and offer ways for other competitors to tap into the user base of the bigger players instead of trying to allow all EU citizens to chat with any other EU citizen who uses META Products regardless of their host platform. meaning "us" people who wish to self host an xmpp or Matrix servers and chat with facebook friends, It won't be straight forward or entirely possible for us to do so. unless maybe by doing a KYC with META. and signing up very stringent service agreements.

Meta will be creating all sorts of hurdles the DMA laws will allow them to, to cripple interoperability, from making other plateform signing up to special permissions from Meta, to hiding interoperability settings and making them opt-in, and building a scary rhetoric why you shouldn't be allowing other people outside of META to get in contact with you. There are some valid concerns, but I suspect Meta will implement the most spiteful procedures they can get away with, then spin up a rhetoric about proving their users being massing against interoperability.

Those who buy apple products deserve each other.

You guys are complaining about a subscription to apple and amazon ? go look how much a subscription to an Autodesk product costs ?

Are you telling me your democracy is held together with tape and needles ?

I call bullshit on this, This is nothing short of propaganda by think tank that is financed by the military industrial complex.

Putin won't dare NATO member countries, especially when he hasn't finished with Ukraine.

What these big giants were trying to do is scoop up as much talent as possible so they don't end up at a competitor, even if that meant some employees would be getting very light workloads. that's one of the many reasons too Google keeps starting new projects and killing them a few years later.

I don't know where you are getting your numbers. maybe it's your selection bias, but facebook's userbase keeps groing, and even if its getting less teenager engagement, those teenagers are flocking to Meta's other platform Instagram.

Contrary to many in here, I don't think this will cause another exodus from reddit. those who might be concerned by this have already left or reduced their time on the platform

I am not criticizing the free work of the open source community. it is just a recognition that commercial software is way ahead of anything the FOSS community has produced so far. And this is true for almost all software categories
