Anbox is a great idea but it needs a lot of work to become a usable project. Currently, it's only available on a few distros, and app installation instructions are nowhere to be found.
I've been coding since I was about 10, though not well. It was more messing around with computers and playing video games. I think I was mostly interested once I discovered all the things computers could do - but I didn't know how to do them.
Around the time I was looking to get serious about coding, my friend mentioned he attended a sort of code club. I was immediately curious and looked it up. It turned out to be run together with Hack Club[0], an organization helping kids run computer science clubs internationally. Unfortunately, I didn't go to his high school (and there wasn't one at mine) so I was unable to attend his coding club. However, I could still join the Hack Club Slack[1] where I've been helped by many (and have begun to help others).
I'm looking forward to starting a Hack Club at my high school this upcoming school year, and hope many more can have the experience I had, sooner. I don't work for Hack Club but can personally recommend them.
Read a good article, or even Wikipedia, on Leopold II of Belgium, his "Congo Free State", and the aftermath.
Leopold's Congo was so horrifying that when he gave up personally ruling it and let it be turned into "just" an ordinary colony where the colonizing government and its companies worked hand-in-glove to ruthlessly exploit the place at the expense of the locals... that was actually better than it had been under Leopold's direct rule. Under personal rule by Leopold, estimates of the death toll in the Congo range at least into the millions and possibly over ten million.
Well I’m guessing everyone will have a slightly different viewpoint, but my use of google services over the last 15? years has not had me feeling they’ve done anything evil to me.
Yes I’m sure they have a huge swell of data about me, but so far the use of that data has not caused me any suffering, or pain, or misfortune etc.
“Don’t be evil” is quite a poignant statement. If they were to say, “don’t do bad things” then I wouldn’t have quite the defence. But no, for at least me, a sample size of one, they have not been evil.
