It’s hard. Try to make them understand that it is not really about their data specifically, but about what these corporations can do with the aggregated data from millions of people. They can know things about us that we never told them and never wanted them, or anyone, to know. They can manipulate us into actions and behaviors that may or may not be benificial to us, that makes them the most money. They can decide who wins an election. They should not have that power.

In Sweden you can get by with just English, no problem. A lot of people also speak Arabic or Finnish, but unlike English it is not taught to everyone in school so you can’t expect everyone to know it, or get by without learning Swedish or English.

…What?

Personally I keep books and CD’s. I have lots from my teens and early adulthood. I like them, and I also like having a library that my kid can look through as he gets older. Clothes and furniture I’m not sentimental about though. Only keep what you’re actually going to use, sell, donate or throw away the rest.

Beautiful!

They’ve told me it’s fixed now. Can you see the image of the cute alpacas? :)

Thanks, I’ll notify them!

Got to pet them but didn’t try hugging. They were very curious and followed us around :) they especially liked my 3 year old. I think their owner can hug them.

No I don’t think it is unfortunately, it is just Not Google

Happy Cow is good for restaurants.

Haven’t heard of Musify before. I use Navidrome hosted at pikapods, it’s great! If you don’t want/know how to self host you can do that :)

Of course the water is free. And in many places you can get a free refill of coffee (Sweden).
