This was ONE GUY??? What a legend! I hope his family knows the giant positive impact he’s had on so many people, and is able to find some sort of comfort knowing he will be missed by so many strangers. A true tragedy.

Interesting delivery on quishing. Ingenuity was never their weakness, I suppose.

I hate that we need this.

I’ve been on calyxos and grapheneos since at least 11, and didn’t realize they were gone from the google variant of android, since I’ve had them this entire time. I wonder, now, if it’s an AOSP thing or a calyxos/grapheneos thing.

Oh… I just posted this, too. I was listening to it today. Something about it is so relaxing to me. I’ll see if I can link your post. We credit where credit is due. You posted first lol

Open F-Droid, search camera. I see Fossify Camera, Open Camera, Libre Camera, and FreeDCam that basically provide the appeal that this subscription camera app has (AI-less).

Open PlayStore/Alternative, search camera. Holy cow! I’m not even going to name any. There are so many. Not all are AI-less, but there are a plenty.

Also, GCam has a RAW option. So… out of the box, this new camera app is unnecessary.

You just described about 60% of the internet. It’s infuriating it came to this.

Eu needs to just block fb en large and be done with it.

The company said the changes are for users in the European Union, in response to evolving EU regulatory feedback

Sounds like a petulant child throwing a tantrum for being told ‘no’.

minimal set of data points including a person’s age, location, gender, and how a person engages with ads.

Sounds like they’re skirting the regulation.

allowing people to connect with the brands and products that are most relevant to them.

“Connecting with brands and products” is not even remotely close to why people use social media.

Tf are they going on about?!

Jetsons had mutant sewer zombies I thought. But, yeah, good point.

That’s fine and all, but if I use a product (especially a privacy focused one) for my personal communication, I do not want to use it for work. A proper separation between work and personal is too important to me.

That was definitely interesting! It didn’t hit the same, for me, as the original, but I would definitely listen to it again. Thanks!

Angels in the Outfield was a strange movie.

That whole album is one golden track after another, with Deer Dance probably being favorite.

Same happened to my work computer about 2 years ago. The i5 was “too old”. Work tossed the laptop and bought a new one. I asked the IT manager if I could buy the old i5 from them, he just gave it to me, since it was already written off (no HDD, though). It’s running Linux now on an SSD, is fully updated, and still runs faster than the i9 on nvme they replaced it with to run win11. Win-win in this scenario, I guess.

Agreed! When everything is actively against us, we must band together against everything.

I think I’ve seen this plot in the movie I Am Legend.

If you have a factory pixel, you don’t need to root. You can unlock bootloader and install a rom that has it (calyxos or grapheneos I know have them). You can root, but you don’t have to.

Didn’t know that. Just been manually rebooting. This is is much easier and more secure. Thanks!

Is this different than Charging Control? I’m on 7 Pro CalyxOS and have been using that since I was on 4 XL [a couple years ago]. I figured it was AOSP…

Edit: added a cleared timeline.
