That's what Android was and they keep trying to undo that any way they can

You're right, mixed up my terminology

Nvidia is really cagey about what the let vendors do with their gpus, they had one ~~hot~~ swappable concept years ago and it never went anywhere because they basically didn't allow them to do anything with it. So this actually making it to a product is crazy

Edit: not hot swappable, just swappable, please turn your PC off first lmao

I'm on a Pixel 8 with lineageOS and microg and I LOVE it. It's so nice to not be bombarded by AI "features" in every menu.

Be prepared for some apps to be a little wonky, I had to install aurora store to download balatro because it said my phone wasn't compatible from the official app store. I've had more issues because I'm also rooted though, so there will probably be less to deal with if you just use lineage. Not sure if it's because it's lineage OS or the root, but Authy doesn't let me login, but I just use my password manager for 2fa now anyway so that's fine.

How about we don't call that being an AI vegan and just call it a moral objection. That's fucking ridiculous, that's a term designed to make not using AI for that reason look bad and preachy.

So you're an AI right? Like no real person would believe this

Ai is running on huge datacenters, these datacenters take freshwater and use it to cool these servers and taints the water turning it into gray water. This is happened in some areas with active droughts. On top of that these data centers are widely run on petroleum based energy systems and they are outputting so much pollution they're making nearby people sick. They are actively, rapidly making a water crisis and accelerating climate change.

Nothing that's for "the people" would be actively making everything for people worse. Not to mention the theft of intellectual property without compensation or even credit or permission used to train these libraries.

Kind of defeats the purpose of shit like this when you generate it with ai

Effecting the brand?? Who in their right mine would associate them with anything but payments? That's ridiculous
