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.

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

Signal, yes…

Or snikket (xmpp).

Or delta chat (email).

The three are good.

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

For these to be ‘translated’ onto anything (e.g. a bagel) one would first need to find the axes: anterior-posterior and left-right. This works with organisms of bilateral symmetry.

Shoutout for https://www.marginalia.nu/ too!

This is entirely different approach, sorry. Fwiw, I bought a wireless (2.4Ghz) keyboard that has a trackpad, and just use a zoomed-in KDE Plasma. Far from the eye candy of a kiosk, but with some customization you may achieve satisfaction (:

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.

Taste the rich, om nom nom.
