this is an amazing study in how to go carefully, point-by-point, through something, and refute none of it.

I think you might be 180° missing the point of the meme

if you’re in one of the areas it covers, Offi is pretty solid Offi https://f-droid.org/packages/de.schildbach.oeffi/

Citymapper is also not bad but the coverage is v limited and it’s not open source

if you think that a videogame with a gay character is “promotion of homosexuality” and “grooming”, but you don’t think the same about a videogame with a hetero character, then I would ask you why, and why you think that isn’t textbook homophobia.

The entire concept of “quantum” is that it’s the smallest possible unit.

A “quantum leap” is the smallest measurable change in electrical charge.

The Planck length, based (it’s a long story, links below) on that smallest possible charge, is around 1.61×10−35 m. (That’s 0.00…00161, with about 31 more zeroes). Which is about as much societal/technical progress as I think Apple has made.
