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

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.

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?

Signal, yes…

Or snikket (xmpp).

Or delta chat (email).

The three are good.

Though, if we compare nowadays distros like Bazzite with Windows 11…

I’ll probably never trust anything they’ve touched until I’ve taken it apart and put it back together again.

Me too. But the vast majority of users need guardrails, and have a different threat model. Even those that also care about privacy, if they just want a solution that comes by default, this adtech ‘fake’ or ‘superficial’ solution does provide something. And anything is more than nothing.

This! Is the most resilient. It can run on anything, not just LoRa! So, it can work on underlying infra (assuming there’s power, e.g. renewables)

Only a person of the opposing group would say that… Get him, boys!!!

I mean… death penalty is a thing, prison is another. Whatever the punishment, the law being applied on a f*ing tweet is quite extreme already. And all countries do this. So, before blaming perhaps some reflection is due.

Interesting! Python and Bash do the same as British.

Oh c’mon the headline is clear. Get pregante XOR go home!

Oh, I only meant to add to the ongoing full thread…

Let them both be nazi, don’t argue that. Btw, nazi=bad is ina way trivializing the situation. Let’s held each state accountable of their own crimes.

Yeah. And, leave the other at home. Somehow, that mutual exclusivity between devices made me write “or”. Hehe.

Or get a burner
