Make your next phone a Pixel and load GrapheneOS onto it. Problem solved.
I still have my library of tracks from the mid 2000s on a drive in my PC. Hell, I still have my iPod Classic.
That said, I spend 99% of my time streaming music.
That said², I never ever engage with playlists. They only serve to poison the well that is my algorithm. I have a tightly curated Youtube video algorithm and, even though Youtube Music’s algorithm is dogshit compared to Spotify, I still protect it at all costs.
You can still be an active listener on streaming services.
I’m currently three quarters of the way through Decapitated’s Organic Hallucinosis record while I clean the house. For the last month straight I’ve been mainlining Steven Wilson’s solo records as well as Porcupine Tree records. Music is not dead for the active listeners in the world. The focus should be on encouraging kids to appreciate a good album every once in a while.
Wine is a translation layer, not an emulator so you’ll likely appear in the Linux users list.
There’s plenty of fiction written on this premise. It only makes sense that an LLM will write something similar to what it’s already ingested.
I’ve been on Linux for a year and a half now with zero downtime.
Salesforce is so fucking AI-pilled its insane. I hate having to use their shit-tier CRM.
The stone age = any time before 2005 apparently 🙄
I have to use Discord Canary for that but yeah. Flatpak all the way.
You can use the Aurora store for apps. You can also use Google Play for apps if you’re not super privacy minded. The beauty of GrapheneOS is that it doesn’t have to be a locked down security privacy-minded OS if you don’t want it to be. It can be just as functional as anything else with very few exceptions.
It just gives you the option to pursue security and privacy if you want.
I haven’t had issues with my banking app either but I don’t use the NFC wallet functionality and never have. I prefer to just tap my physical card.
It’s like everyone is eating the same meal, even though there’s other restaurants everywhere.
So fucking apt. Thanks for framing this the way you did. Really clears up my thoughts on how to discuss this with others.
Running GrapheneOS on a Pixel is incredibly easy. You don’t need to be technical at all to get it set up. The instructions and the process are simple. Get on it!
Developers all love to preen about code. They worry LLMs lower the “ceiling” for quality. Maybe. But they also raise the “floor”.
And this is how the human element of this industry dies. This dev is the last of a dying breed, the senior dev. He’s also loading more bullets into the gun that’s pointed at the heart of the role that got him to where he is in the first place.
You don’t get to become a junior dev if that role is occupied by AI and you don’t get to ever ascend to senior dev unless you start as a junior dev.
For as analytical this person seems to be, he has a massive blindspot related to the path he himself treaded to get where he is. He’s pulling the ladder up behind him and condemning the people on the path behind to finding another way or giving up entirely.
AI is brain rot. It’s actively and aggressively atrophying humanity’s ability to reason and problem solve.
Honestly, I’ve always thought the best use case for AI is moderating NSFL content online. No one should have to see that horrific shit.
Isnt it “actually Indians”?
Radicalized is a really good collection of shorter works. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicalized_(Doctorow_book)
If you actually view the site, I think it’s pretty clear that its a well intentioned site with a genuine interest in providing travel tips and info to people. There’s no reason that site should have had its traffic obliterated.
I doubt a kid with tremors would be unable to get an exception made for them. I have tremors and in the mid 2000s my teachers were offering me test taking options like computers and other methods.
I always refused because I was stubborn.
Do we need to start review bombing sites that are doing this similar to how review bombs happen on Steam?
