Whoops. Thanks for the catch.

That’s fair and all, and I see your point. A 100% “fair” phone is the end-goal.

Butin the battle against corporate douche-baggery, if we keep making perfect the enemy of good, we’ll never get anywhere.

/e/OS is not bad as an alternative. The system wide ad and tracker blocking is nice.

I switched to e/os on a couple of motorolas that supported it and it’s great so far.

The comparisons to GrapheneOS are fair to some degree, but also not. Graphene is meant to be privacy and security hardened, whereas e/OS, while it is more secure than regular android, is more concerned with privacy hardening. The biggest misconception people have seems to be thinking that privacy and security are the same thing; and while that is true on the surface level, security (a la GrapheneOS) goes much deeper.

So while my phone may not be as “hack resistant” as a GrapheneOS, it’s degoogled and very protective of tracking, which is what I’m primarily concerned with. So I’m happy.

I just wish I could afford a fairphone in Canada.

What exactly does Apple think that they’re brining to the equation in order to deserve that 30? Is it simply that they’re hosting an app on their store, so therefore they’re entitled to a cut?

So if I write a novel, and get it published, Microsoft can say "We deserve 30% because you used our product to produce your product?

I’m so fucking tired of corporations. It’s well past guillotine-o-clock.

They…will…do…it…anyway…

Fuck it’s so frustrating watching one side pretend the rule of law still means anything.

It already is a civil war. Only one side is fighting it though, while the other keeps saying “wait until the mid-terms”

As a Canadian living north of the nut-hatch, I wish I had the money to excercise my dual citizenship and get out of here to Portugal, or anywhere else in the EU.

Every single member of this administration needs to be put in front of a firing squad.

I no longer care if it’s through the proper channels of justice or the people rightfully rising up.

Wake the fuck up, America.

As far as I’m concerned, unionization should be government mandated for every company everywhere in every industry.

But unfortunately we live in hell.

I’ll be honest, I doubt any real money is being dumped into this.

More and more, things like this come across as people giving Trump nonsense toys to play with to feel bigly important and distract him as he gets more and more infirm. If any money actually moves towards this, it’ll be actually diverting into someone’s pocket along the way.

It struck me the most when he made the announcement of a new class of Jumbo Jet and he was literally sitting there at his desk like a kid playing with a lego airplane model.

He is increasingly a addled child that they keep distracted with stupid shit like this so that they can get work done without him fucking it up for them by opening his idiot mouth. (like admitting that Venuzuela was about oil…for example)

The reason the “kill-switch” wasn’t made clear originally was because it literally didn’t exist until users very vocally tool them where to shove their AI crap.

It was added on afterwards.

Why the hate on Honeydew? Honeydew is awesome!

I’ll admit, sometimes you get a completely tasteless one. But get one at the sweet spot of ripeness…my god…it’s ambrosia.

It’s only a matter of time. I want nothing to do with any company that is giving so called “A.I” the time of day.

Well…fuck Udemy I guess.

One of my old employers used to pay out small bonus incentives onto a prepaid credit card for each staff member, and I called it my “fun money” that I would invariably spend on Udemy enrolling in whatever seemed interesting to me. It was truly enjoyable and I feel like I’m a more well rounded person because of it.

And now AI is going to fuck all of that. I want to learn from PEOPLE, not LLM’s cosplaying as A.I.

Did Robotaxi just flat out steal the Cyberpunk font in order to try to look cool? It seems like a very Musk thing to do.

But not the kiddie fucking…

Jesus fucking christ, America.

I know it’s not the point of the article, but holy heck, she doesn’t look 43! I had always thought she was younger than AOC.

History largely proves otherwise…

Hey. It’s been a lonely year. Don’t shame me, bro.

I get that. I just mean that I don’t spend time trying to tailor an answer to try to get the most number of upvotes. I’ll say what i want to say, and if people want to upvote me for it or downvote me for it makes no difference whatsoever.
