Dario Amodei is not deluded or crazy. He is just a selfish jerk who wants more money.

I just use a SSHFS mount with Thunar.

This is nonsense. Firefox is open source, you can just fork it.

Still American. de-Americanizing the tech stack is a good idea.

I think AppLounge has multiple sources, which you can turn on and off. The default seems to be FDroid + Aurora

I use both, but I use OSMAnd~ for mobile mapping, and CoMaps for navigation.

I use CoMaps when navigating: https://www.comaps.app/

I also recommend Obtainium for installing it: https://obtainium.imranr.dev/

This is so organized that my eyes hurt. You should see my messy setup :(

All my devices are on the same wirguard network. It allows me to use SFTP to mount the fileservers of the others very easily. Then copying files is as simple as copying from one folder to another.

I usually rip from illegal Turkish streaming sites, so torrenting is unnecessary and harder. yt-dlp and videodownloader is usually enough.

The only subscription I have is Mullvad.

Of course there are many legitimate and/or constructive uses for AI. Like any new technology, it depends on what you do with it. You can use it do help or harm, that is up to us.

For example, in many countries getting a radiologist to look at medical scans takes a lot of time and is a huge bottleneck. AI can help accelerate this.

The issues are not GOS specific. I am saying that GOS is selling snake oil, not real security.

I’m not moving goalposts. If you care about security, then you should also care about not making money for Google.

Robust and trustworthy hardware does not matter if the apps you need for daily life (like banking or public transportation) are so integrated with Google’s ecosystem that they leak everything.

Breaking Google’s hold over Android is the most important security topic of all time. Everything else is secondary. GrapheneOS is not real security.

There are no Google services installed by Graphene, you have the option of running Google services if you choose, but even if you choose to do so they are kept in a sandbox and not given privileged information on the system.

Using Google hardware results in financial gain for Google, which is one of the worst companies out there for privacy and security. I do not like that GrapheneOS is working to propagate Google’s monopoly.

It is not as expensive as it used to be.
