It’s only a financial engineer when the numbers have enough zeroes. Then they get home arrest instead of prison :) we are very tolerant because they are a minority /s

Let’s have the scientists’ and governments’ patents sold to them for pennies!! /s

Thanks. I know about the compromise, having a 24/7 box with all I want to hear. But that can’t include new songs that I am yet to discover.

Not a chemist myself but Gold has lots of industrial applications because it doesn’t react to many other atoms or molecules. For example, it doesn’t rust at all. Similar thing goes for platinum. Maybe we should buy the latter…

Not the same but sure. Go ahead. There’s piefed.social too!

“Modern day” Luddite. It’s not just using the word isolated! Tittle clearly mixes the meaning with the historical reference. Plus, the one being pedantic were you… But thanks anyway for pointing out the word has two definitions.

Fwiw there’s fairphone with eOS

it could also be because I mentioned oracle :P

So much words in this thread… Head over bazzite.gg and get f*ing started! You will love it!!

In my case it doesnt appear in the App drawer but when I opened assistant it offered me switching to Gemini, which I did. Then within it, went to Apps to disable integrations like WhatsApp which by default was ON. Same with SMS and others.

Or if you prefer GUI on device apps, Shizuku and then use Cantata

Try Pangolin instead of cloudfare, though it requires a VPS (e.g. oracle free tier, or pay €1/month to ionos)

I hear thee.

Just an update, I learnt that GrapheneOS developers are ‘aggressive’ towards other FLOSS projects (following comments on other thread, but you can searx grepheneos+controversy and see for yourselves).

So now, I might just prefer an FP6.

I love this resource, https://thebullshitmachines.com/ (i.e. see lesson 1)…

In a series of five- to ten-minute lessons, we will explain what these machines are, how they work, and how to thrive in a world where they are everywhere.

You will learn when these systems can save you a lot of time and effort. You will learn when they are likely to steer you wrong. And you will discover how to see through the hype to tell the difference. …

Also, Anthropic (ironically) has some nice paper(s) about the limits of “reasoning” in AI.

Only the failed attempts could be a Denial Of Service and throw you out. So, at least add an ever increasing delay to those. Fail2ban is important.

the reason: support for developers. You can install it yourself to save that amount.

There’s a deGoogled version too!!

I would prefer GrapheneOS (If I can live with the irony of getting a Pixel phone just to deGoogle it…). Sandboxing there is way better. But you lose the Repairability… Gotta check and compare the new EU metrics too.

They are just two different devices.

You mean this ball?

Like it or not, there are puscontrollers and joydicks in the world. You can use your hands or…
