I’m probably older than most of you, and I’m not going for the “get off my lawn” answer like the rest of you. Mission center - because graphical user interfaces add value

Sides stepping the web problem, you could set it up on a local server with a vpn and effectively have a local LLM.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•LineageOS for MicroG 22.2 + Root Updating Procedure?
1·14 days agoPer non_burglar… It’s called A/B boot. The purpose is to enable live update. Update while using the device without interruption, then when it finishes, the next reboot uses the new version. Thus, an update/upgrade is actually updating the “slot” not currently in use.

4·15 days agoLooks nice, but I tried this sort of thing with the FXTec Pro, and never received it. After 4 years, they announced the last ones going out, and they apparently “lost” mine. Contacted them and their response was equivalent to a shrug. Next time I buy a product, it’s going to be verifiably on sale publicly.
For clarification, I initially read it to mean that anybody “poor enough” to have to work to earn money does not deserve to live. I.e., rich people are human, everybody else is subhuman.
Your interpretation I saw a few moments later, and that the post was criticizing that phrase. Basically, the polar opposite of my first impression.
You know, when i originally read this, the way i interpreted it was that he was saying that if you need to earn money to live you don’t deserve to live.
I much prefer the version that is an indictment of the phrase “earn a living” as implying you don’t deserve to live if you aren’t “working” in the modern sense of earning money at a modern job vs doing what’s necessary to stay alive like all nature’s critters.
It needs to update hosts filter lists, which is a root level operation.
That said, my pixel 2xl no longer has root (via magisk) but it still has AdAway. Since it was installed with root privs, it still has them. I will eventually patch the boot partition. I just haven’t gotten around to it, and LineageOS for microg updates multiple times per month.
I delt with this problem a few years ago, and found at the time there were no options. I suspect that has not changed. One core reason I root my phone is to install adaway. This blocks trackers and many other problem URLs at the DNS level, freeing the vpn for it’s core purpose.
I can agree with that.
Yeah, that’s what I was doing… /s
I guess you’re on board with demonizing people based on the location of their homes. They don’t deserve to be treated like decent humans? You’d spit on them just because they came from America? Interesting.

17·19 days agoOf course they did. Trump ended the EPA months ago. Think “invasion of the body snatchers” but for government.
At what point did doing things for yourself become cringe?
Methinks this is what the collapse of civilization looks like.

News@lemmy.world•Unemployment could hit 25% among recent grads and trigger 'unprecedented' social disruption thanks to AI, U.S. senator warns
9·19 days agoWell, it looks like “the Great Reset” wasn’t just a right-wing conspiracy theory against the left. Looks like it was accurate, except it was the right wing who was going to do it.
And how do you react when someone spells it R U S S I A? If that’s hurtful or “propaganda”, check yourself.
I agree Trump is evil. America is not. It is a nation, and because it is run by humans, it does nasty shit just like most others. I hate it, but demonizing a whole population is not helping.

75·23 days agoHypocracy on display. Trump spent 4 years demanding the Democrats release the files, scoring political points on the right. Now it’s projection all over again.
I’m sure there are several people in the Democratic party who were part of this. That does not matter. bad is bad. I don’t care if you otherwise appear to have similar values to me.






Ask a finance pro why they went into finance. If you don’t get the same answer, they are lying.
Anyway, I fell involve with computers and programing at 13 years old, and nothing else appealed to me, so guess what I became?
