People ask this kind of thing about Graphene too, but the reality is a very large number of 'apps' are just website wrappers. In the vast majority of cases you can just use the website instead. Add to that though, you are going to have to leave some things on the table to fight this fight, and you have to decide what is most important to you. I used to use my phone and watch to pay ALL THE TIME, I wouldn't even take my wallet with me most places I went. When I switched to Graphene I had to give that up, but was willing to for what it gave me. We are likely never, or certainly at least not any time soon, going to be able to have everything we can have on an iPhone or a Samsung, on something that respects our privacy and isn't spying on us.
Yeah, this is the part that it feels like 80% of the world missed and/or doesn't understand. The techbros usurped the term "AI", applied it to this generative token predicting garbage, and renamed the other stuff "AGI". In today's terms if we want to look back at all that cool 'AI' stuff from movies and science fiction past, we need to call that stuff "AGI" to level set the terminology.
I hate companies going out of their way to try to keep me for modifying/repairing hardware I BOUGHT. 😛
The problem is right there in the name - "Oh shit, everyone has a set of Torx bits now... let's fuck with them so they don't work anymore! evil laughter" ... even using Torx to try to "keep people out" though (which is by far the most common purpose I've seen and now of course we have companies like Nintendo and BMW trying to go even further and more proprietary to do it) can get fucked. I bought the hardware, it is mine.
Empty stub APKs, for the other Google Android Auto dependencies (e.g. Google Maps, TTS Text To Speech, …)
Can it be redirected rather than empty? I tried to use 3rd party GPS software with Graphene + AA and it still forced me to install Google Maps for even the 3rd party software to work :-/ ... I do want GPS with traffic, I don't want Google knowing every move I make and using it to make their executives richer.
Currently? 4-5 months "playing" with local models and in the last week or two it has REALLY started to come together, and I have NEVER in like 25+ years of having a home lab/server(s) under the desk, but as happy or impressed. Fully offline and private, scratch-coded agent with a boatload of models behind it, spread across five GPUs in four VMs, and now with fully private/local (also scratch coded) voice interface. Absolute most incredible thing I have put together in my life, and that's not a short list of 'cool shit' I've built over the years.
Historically? Having such high-end networking gear to 'play' with in the early 2000s that I actually sold and shipped some to a small ISP overseas to use for production 🤣
This looks WILDLY similar to my old setup! If you've got really old RG59 in there, it's going to suck - horrible jitter, and sub-1gig for sure, and obviously the longer the run the worse it gets.
If you throw 2.5 Gbps adapters on to a nice clean piece of new RG6 though, especially point to point (but then you'd lose this boost), it is not terrible.
In the end it was just a stopgap, I think I used it for about 5 years and then the first time I was having work done and had some parts of the walls open I got my guy to run fibre everywhere he could, and cat8 everywhere else. I do still use one of the RG59 links, just joined at that panel, to do a point to point from an upstairs bedroom, down through the basement and back up to the living room, just carrying super low volume corosync traffic for one of my lab clusters - but all the rest is migrated off now and is a way less frustrating connection now.
I may reuse one of the good RG6 through cinderblock pieces to do RS485 between my ERV and my Home Assistant Yellow at some point in the future, but for the most part the coax is now abandoned (and we flipped the house to fibre internet years ago too.)
"Sovereignty comes with responsibilities..." or whatever those dumbfuck politicians complaining about the smoke are saying is just another way to word the same "51st state" bullshit. I have never, in this entire Trump presidency, been as pissed off at US politicians as I have been this week - ESPECIALLY that I personally know more than a couple firefighters, including a couple who have gone down to the US to help with their out of control wild fires when they were unable to deal with them themselves.
I have seen numerous psychologists and therapists get their backs up about people even saying "I'm depressed" or "I've been depressed lately" - and they'll quickly jump in to say "YOU ARE SAD. DEPRESSION IS A MEDICAL CONDITION - HAVE YOU BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH DEPRESSION? No? THEN YOU'RE SAD, NOT DEPRESSED" - so I personally steer clear of any and all self-diagnosis. I am not a doctor - I can only accurately describe my symptoms, not the cause or condition.
Edit: Downvotes for me literally describing what I do and what I have heard many times in my life... classy Lemmy, classy.
"an experimental initiative that will let companies block users if they are running independent, "de-googled" versions of Android"
lol, that is quite alright... saving me the effort of figuring out what scumbags they are in a less convenient way. I don't want to be doing business with these people anyway.
With the volume of Iranian expats in California and LA specifically, my first thought is this absolutely had to be at the hands of tourists. The locals are entirely used to them and comfortable with them.
I'm not sure you're clear on what "slop" is, or what we're asking? All the things you posted in your reply are real photos, the original picture in this post looks like 'AI'-generated slop.
THIS is what kept me from buying another after my 13 Ultra. Sad, I REALLY liked that phone with xiaomi.eu ROM on it.

Frickin Torx security bit. Hate those things.
More genies.
It ends REALLY badly.
I'm not ready to talk about it yet. Still too fresh.

Numerous times in the last weeks or months even.

Hand stuff, obviously... only way to stay clear of the assorted stenches.
🤯
This makes so much sense!
You don't want to do them all at once - it needs to be a drawn out spectacle and a warning to those who would do the same. So really, not a lot.
I mean like, 98%+ of the world's "AI" runs on Linux... people get so focused on desktop environments they lose sight of the big picture.
Edit: Wasn't following the "news" this week, didn't realize this was about code commits.
"are increasingly worried about another tick-borne disease called anaplasmosis"
Not blaming OP, I know it's the way the title/summary blob are crafted by the authors, but jfc I hate this clickbait shit
