Ah shit, here we go again.

If the AI model runs locally and doesn’t spy on you, sure. Users should be asked before such a thing is installed and many old computers will choke hard at running this shit too. Google chrome is gonna take up a lot more ram too.

I should be good with sandboxed Google play.

But wtf we’ll need a phone to solve captchas now? What happens if you don’t have one?

I wonder how sandboxed Google Play will handle it.

The dropped port forwarding is a bit of a deterrent I will say. Windscribe also is a bit iffy on it.

With Windscribe, you need to buy a static IP and you can only forward above the 1,000 range. I cannot forward 80 or 443 because apparently it is limited to prevent it from being abused.

Governments don’t represent the common people anymore.

I use Immich which uploads and stores my photos and videos on my PC. The app needs a server that you gotta host yourself though.

I don’t intend on cutting Google from my life, but I want the option to, and I want boundaries with Google. I felt as if I didn’t install GrapheneOS, I’d lose the ability to in the future. Google could easily roll out an update locking the bootloader, so I felt like doddling with it was a risky move.

So far it is good, I am still exploring what I can do with GrapheneOS. It’s bare bones to start with, no included wallpapers so I have to fetch my own. RCS seemingly works after granting Google play to access my carrier or whatever, so that’s good.

Google wallet, I am not sure, but my banking app works.

I"M INSANE

That and making our products break so we have to buy new ones, and making it illegal to unbreak them.

Gas going up will also make food go up even more now due to added costs of shipping.

What a great ad for codeberg.

Goodbye cheap PC components that people can easily afford, how I’ll miss you.

Makes me want more E2E encryption.
