At least with iPhone all your app compatibility will still work… I feel like Android isn’t too bad privacy wise because with the implementation of private space. There are some cool tricks you can do to essentially shut off apps when not in use completely

It’s funny I had it too. But I remember being so bummed because of how little app support it had. I imagine a Linux phone would feel the exact same for an average consumer

And keep in mind…then they say in the same breath stuff like this…

As many of you are NOW aware, the GrapheneOS port to Android 16 has become a herculean task. This is due to Google ripping Pixel repos from AOSP and putting them behind the GMS licensee paywall.

But is it really GrapheneOS choice? It kind of feels like google is still allowing it to exist…for now

USD 🥴

Of course …locally 😏 I can trust Google can’t I!?

My confusion is how are they allowed to do this. Why do I have to weekly opt out of location services again and again. If they don’t want me using the app without it, just block me. There need to be laws requiring all of this crap to be Opt IN if it’s devices are mixed with telecommunications

If Lineage allowed me to relock my bootloader I would probably had gone with that vs GrapheneOS. I DONT know why GrapheneOS developers insist on the world’s ugliest UI for all their applications and icons.

Give me a pure oled #000000 black theme or else its crap!

I just REALLY want a pure black theme and apparently Gnome with Ubuntu is not the answer

Do you know of a different Desktop Environment that allows for more of a pure black theme?

Allegedly I am using the right one. It works to change the Gnome shell but not the GTK themes

I am will aware it is not conscious 🙄. Hence the word RESEMBLES.

But here’s the scary thing. Even with all your song and dance you just typed when we are interacting with AI our brains literally can not tell the difference between human interaction and AI interaction. And that to me…is WILD and so trippy

You summarized so beautifully my thoughts! Our brains literally can’t tell its a not human and it fascinates me so much! It doesn’t surprise me at all some people are going psychotic

That’s fair but I think we will adapt just as we did with the Internet. At least that’s what I hope anyway. I might be wrong

I am well aware it is not conscious but just like with Porn…our bodies and brains can’t seem to differentiate between real vs what’s on the screen. And that to me is remarkable

Ya why the hell am I being down voted 🤔

Fairly stated

Very new

I’ll have chat gpt hold my hand 🤔
