You can use the Aurora store for apps. You can also use Google Play for apps if you’re not super privacy minded. The beauty of GrapheneOS is that it doesn’t have to be a locked down security privacy-minded OS if you don’t want it to be. It can be just as functional as anything else with very few exceptions.

It just gives you the option to pursue security and privacy if you want.

I haven’t had issues with my banking app either but I don’t use the NFC wallet functionality and never have. I prefer to just tap my physical card.

It’s like everyone is eating the same meal, even though there’s other restaurants everywhere.

So fucking apt. Thanks for framing this the way you did. Really clears up my thoughts on how to discuss this with others.

Running GrapheneOS on a Pixel is incredibly easy. You don’t need to be technical at all to get it set up. The instructions and the process are simple. Get on it!

Developers all love to preen about code. They worry LLMs lower the “ceiling” for quality. Maybe. But they also raise the “floor”.

And this is how the human element of this industry dies. This dev is the last of a dying breed, the senior dev. He’s also loading more bullets into the gun that’s pointed at the heart of the role that got him to where he is in the first place.

You don’t get to become a junior dev if that role is occupied by AI and you don’t get to ever ascend to senior dev unless you start as a junior dev.

For as analytical this person seems to be, he has a massive blindspot related to the path he himself treaded to get where he is. He’s pulling the ladder up behind him and condemning the people on the path behind to finding another way or giving up entirely.

AI is brain rot. It’s actively and aggressively atrophying humanity’s ability to reason and problem solve.

Right? Dude just spurned one of the easiest ways to get a comment from a girl, smelling like something girls would likely choose as a candle scent or other aromatic. Dude would probably rather smell like aged free-range bull piss “for the pheromones” or some shit.

Honestly, I’ve always thought the best use case for AI is moderating NSFL content online. No one should have to see that horrific shit.

Yeah, they were all stepping in phase with each other. Pretty cool physics going on there.

Isnt it “actually Indians”?

Radicalized is a really good collection of shorter works. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicalized_(Doctorow_book)

Two people will be about 3 dB higher, four people would be 6, eight people would increase the level by 9 dB, sixteen would be 12 dB higher and so on.

This is only the case if they’re making identical sounds in phase with each other. The real life scenario of people walking would not scale in this way as there are too many variables. No two footsteps are the same no matter how hard you try.

I doubt a kid with tremors would be unable to get an exception made for them. I have tremors and in the mid 2000s my teachers were offering me test taking options like computers and other methods.

I always refused because I was stubborn.
