Try becoming disabled. It certainly answered that question for me.

Or might as well say “Yes, I like money and want to sell to the DoD.” Source: may have used it in a slide deck once. Not actually sure, as the phrase wasnt as popular back then.

ew. Tell your government to stop mandating spyware.

Graphene does let you re-lock the bootloader. IIRC, whether an app works depends on whether they require SafetyNet full, or just basic. I have so far only found one app that refuses to work. However… it looks like MitID was recently updated and no longer works.

Starting on 2024-06-12, MitID have started using Google Play Integrity API during activation. This means that new installations will no longer work in GrapheneOS nor any other non-stock Android, as they are not certified by Google and will not pass the required checks. The app still works (for now) if you managed to get it activated before that date.

I agree it would be concerning if I allowed Gemini access to my phone. Fuck that. This shit is exactly why I am on GrapheneOS.

Holy shit you actually covered my use case perfectly (pocket+kobo > koreader+wallabag)! Thanks for putting this together, it is great.

Because their parents never taught them to.

Probably not.

This brings to mind for me Michael J. Sandel’s discussions of law (a compliment, as he is a Harvard law prof.)

Additional storage, and installing the RTX2060 Super from my old box it was replacing. That was in 2020 when this system was new.

Oh, I did upgrade my rear chassis exhaust fan to a fancier one because the cheapo one was too loud.

I dont really play new AAA games, so it mostly does fine. When I bought it, I had planned to wait for GPU prices to return to sanity …

Not every trait has an adaptive significance.

Lately I have been making muesli a lot, which I only re-discovered recently.

I also only this year started to appreciate tart cherries which I enjoy mostly dried (unsweetened.)

In business, good ideas are a dime-a-dozen. People who can figure out how to monetize (ie, get people to pay for) those ideas are the ones that get paid big. If you cant figure out how to make money from it, it is not likely to magically work out later.

Around age 5ish, mostly Storybots. Ruff Ruffman. A few other shows handled it well for younger kids.

Once a bit older, maybe 7-8, I setup an old laptop with debian and allow-listed network connection, etc. Let them play with it and gave them learning activities.

Yes, and where I work the HV line is several times that.

The same reason some rednecks and jocks will pretend theyre not smart: tribalism and signaling. I agree it is dumb.

It does feel like a small town. Most small towns don’t have pro sports teams, though.

I am re-re-factoring my plans for homelab 3.0 and the migration to it. Hardware budget is non-existant so I am trying to figure out how to do everything with what I already own, while re-organizing to better use what I have to make some room. Adding a few sticks of RAM and replacing some older cat5 are all I will do this year.
