No-one referenced Firefox also has Brave's adblocking implementation baked in, even if disabled for now.

Additionally, I eagerly await resource (CPU+site size) buckets to be implemented on a browser and a LocalCDN along it to shrink the web.

Bluetooth now works with Waydroid? Seamlessly or you have to "disconnect" from host and "connect" it to Waydroid?

AFAIK, Camera (V4L) is also broken on main repo, to anyone else wondering.

Rather ironic: I was in the process of moving all Android apps to a second user to be able to stop all apps (and just not DnD, because I'll know I may have some messages waiting for me after disabling DnD) when I got distracted by HN (just one tiny minute).

Another thing I'm testing is having VPN OFF with its kill-switch ON.

Agree. The only problem about radio is requiring wired headphones to serve as antenna.

Do flagship Snapdragon SOCs still have radio? Thinking about next GOS compatible Motorola-branded device, the first device GOS will support with Snapdragon.

Did they pay you anything at least, for doing their work?

I thought he had created an website which ran an APK server-side and was loadable in a browser. Oh well.

If the ROM is not expecting to be relocked, it's a ROM problem as well.

Meanwhile to play PS5 games like TMNT you can't use PS4 controllers. This is not a customer focused approach.

While my currently favored approach is GOS', I'd really like to know more. Did anything else change? I'm 15 years out of date. In my mind:

* root is still frowned upon

* microG is frowned upon

* bypassing SafetyNet (sorry, Play Integrity) is frowned upon

* bootloader relocking is not oficially nor semi-officially supported

* missing patches (Google's 6 month source embargo) were not talked about

There is tinfoil.sh as well but honestly running this stuff on an airgapped server allows a better peace of mind about the data being used for something else.

The half of the story which was available was indeed fascinating.

Dates I'll retain, 1.7 million years and 5000 years. Two different, if associated, marks of civilization.

Two ideas: grounding the LLM between different chats and researching politicians and their friends through mutual associations.

I usually ask it to give me two batches of answer: 1) normal; 2) not sycophantic.

I have a simple and brittle system to track people and facts and associations on Newspapers, which is basically: "LLM extract people, places/projects/structure/places and save them as an Obsidian compatible graph network."

For 2 or 3 newspapers it works; my idea was to use it as grounding to discover relationships between people, companies and jobs.

As for the "everyone's life", I have always assumed that there would be a graph system to point to "forgotten" documents.

Gemini said my idea was amazing and new in its implementation, even if not in spirit, but I'm assuming it was being sycophantic as usual.

If the system treats you as a number, you should become a mercenary.

I love this articles who all the coders read but none of the management.

If possible, be a mercenary and put a high number on your expertise, so we can solve this management blind spot faster.

If you can't, let your life/work's passion be "not starving to death", and try to change it politics-side.

Agree. But according to Gemini [for what's worth] the final 1990 Mashmallow's study [since first versions were cautious] did indeed jump to conclusions to point there was a causation to a better later life. The media might have amplified, but the wrong (or misleading) conclusion was already present in the _scientific_ paper.

It really calls into questions the conclusions drawn from the last 50 years. Here's the ones disproven I remember:

* kids grow to be rich because they accept delayed gratification

* alpha males are the leader of the pack and all other males are useless

* people accept violence if there is a higher authority which justifies it with a reason

How many people suffered or delivered suffering because of their beliefs in the above?
