I absolutely LOVE that one. One of my all time favorites.

This was ONE GUY??? What a legend! I hope his family knows the giant positive impact he’s had on so many people, and is able to find some sort of comfort knowing he will be missed by so many strangers. A true tragedy.

Edit: autocorrect

I hate that we need this.

Open F-Droid, search camera. I see Fossify Camera, Open Camera, Libre Camera, and FreeDCam that basically provide the appeal that this subscription camera app has (AI-less).

Open PlayStore/Alternative, search camera. Holy cow! I’m not even going to name any. There are so many. Not all are AI-less, but there are a plenty.

Also, GCam has a RAW option. So… out of the box, this new camera app is unnecessary.

Eu needs to just block fb en large and be done with it.

The company said the changes are for users in the European Union, in response to evolving EU regulatory feedback

Sounds like a petulant child throwing a tantrum for being told ‘no’.

minimal set of data points including a person’s age, location, gender, and how a person engages with ads.

Sounds like they’re skirting the regulation.

allowing people to connect with the brands and products that are most relevant to them.

“Connecting with brands and products” is not even remotely close to why people use social media.

Tf are they going on about?!

Agreed! When everything is actively against us, we must band together against everything.

If you have a factory pixel, you don’t need to root. You can unlock bootloader and install a rom that has it (calyxos or grapheneos I know have them). You can root, but you don’t have to.

Didn’t know that. Just been manually rebooting. This is is much easier and more secure. Thanks!

Is this different than Charging Control? I’m on 7 Pro CalyxOS and have been using that since I was on 4 XL [a couple years ago]. I figured it was AOSP…

Edit: added a cleared timeline.

Take my angry upvote hahahaha

I saw the name, and immediately thought, “sweet! Another kde tool!” Then finished reading the title lol Looks like a good editor nonetheless

Edit: requires access to manage storage, which is excessive for a text editor. Pretty sure it has to do with its other features, which is fine, but I don’t feel comfortable with this type of access for any third party app. If you’re fine with this access, Xed/Karbon really looks useful. I might as it to my coding tablet.

GPT4All and Jan.AI are good places to start.

This is a really great use of LLM! Seriously great job! Once it’s fully self-hostable (including the LLM model), I will absolutely find it space on the home server. Maybe using Rupeshs fastdcpu as the model and generation backend could work. I don’t remember what his license is, though.

Edit: added link.

This is a very interesting use of this tech, as a countermeasure to the corpos’ use of it. I appreciate the share!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Ah, you meant phone of the time. I thought you meant phones throughout time. Like, today’s Pixel 9 compared to the N95. That sort of thing.

Yeah, you’re right. Back then, it was all marketing and storefront locks. That’s it.

And the flagship iphone of today is lower specs than its direct android competitor. But, then again, that’s how apple seems to operate: lowest possible specs, highest possible marketing, beautiful (debatable, I know) UI… and locked storefront.

It’s also better specs that some software and security processes require, but yeah, it’s mostly marketing and it sucks.

No lol I just channeled my inner 90s hahahaa
