I think people in the replies acting fake surprised are missing the point.
it is important news, because many people see LLMs as black boxes of superintelligence (almost as if that’s what they’re being marketed as!)
you and i know that’s bullshit, but the students asking chatgpt to solve their math homework instead of using wolfram alpha doesn’t.
so yes, it is important to demonstrate that this “artificial intelligence” is so much not an intelligence that it’s getting beaten by 1979 software on 1977 hardware
in the west too our phones spy on us but everyone knows, everyone thinks it’s bad, and yet nobody cares
i don’t think there’s anything like that on linux sadly
personally i just use the VLC mobile app (yes, this exists!) to play my local music collection. it’s surprisingly good, and you can even send music to it from your computer to your phone wirelessly!
oooh sorry I misread you 😅
but yea you’re right, it’s really gross
what are you talking about? Palestinians are not colonizers, israelis are
*colonizers
it’s not a human thing, it’s a colonizer thing
its surreal that we’re asked to be sympathetic towards the people exploiting immigrants and not, yknow, the immigrants themselves
if it’s not on GOG, you can also check itch.io!
iirc all games there are DRM-free as well (tho I could be wrong)
also, idk how true this is, but ive seen that google sells pixels at a loss when they’re on sale (they expect to make back the money by spying on you)
so if you were to get a pixel while it’s on sale and install grapheneos on it, not only would you get a nice phone with a secure os, but you’d do so while costing google money. win win win!

im surprised they haven’t done this tbh
okay, I was gonna say that it’s not that big of a deal because you can just slightly lift it when you want to turn it on (or just slide your finder under it, if they’re small enough) but judging by that photo, it seems like the power button is at the back of the computer? whyyyy??
anyways, im more impressed by the fact that their new shiny mouse who finally uses USB-C still has the charging port at the bottom. im starting to think they think it’s a good design???
that’s true, but platforms like rumble were created to be homes to the far right. we shouldn’t encourage their existence.
fuck off out of here with your nazi platforms
Stop selling weapons to Israel, that would be a good start
Send more humanitarian aid to Palestine
Make it easier for Palestinian refugees to come to Canada
id rather be using whatsapp, honestly
it’s not good either, obviously, but messenger still collects a buttload more data
(and iirc whatsapp encrypts both group chats and DMs, on messenger it’s only DMs)
