Make your next phone a Pixel and load GrapheneOS onto it. Problem solved.

Wine is a translation layer, not an emulator so you'll likely appear in the Linux users list.

There's plenty of fiction written on this premise. It only makes sense that an LLM will write something similar to what it's already ingested.

That doesn't negate the value of having them participate in the conversation though.

The stone age = any time before 2005 apparently 🙄

Bitburner is pretty cool too.

You can use the Aurora store for apps. You can also use Google Play for apps if you're not super privacy minded. The beauty of GrapheneOS is that it doesn't have to be a locked down security privacy-minded OS if you don't want it to be. It can be just as functional as anything else with very few exceptions.

It just gives you the option to pursue security and privacy if you want.

I haven't had issues with my banking app either but I don't use the NFC wallet functionality and never have. I prefer to just tap my physical card.

Yeah man, all of this except for the balls part. Shit's a bit too much for me bro and I was there in the 90's. You do you though, I guess. 🤷

It's like everyone is eating the same meal, even though there's other restaurants everywhere.

So fucking apt. Thanks for framing this the way you did. Really clears up my thoughts on how to discuss this with others.

Running GrapheneOS on a Pixel is incredibly easy. You don't need to be technical at all to get it set up. The instructions and the process are simple. Get on it!

Developers all love to preen about code. They worry LLMs lower the “ceiling” for quality. Maybe. But they also raise the “floor”.

And this is how the human element of this industry dies. This dev is the last of a dying breed, the senior dev. He's also loading more bullets into the gun that's pointed at the heart of the role that got him to where he is in the first place.

You don't get to become a junior dev if that role is occupied by AI and you don't get to ever ascend to senior dev unless you start as a junior dev.

For as analytical this person seems to be, he has a massive blindspot related to the path he himself treaded to get where he is. He's pulling the ladder up behind him and condemning the people on the path behind to finding another way or giving up entirely.

AI is brain rot. It's actively and aggressively atrophying humanity's ability to reason and problem solve.
