  • I think the majority of people use it to (unreliably) solve tedious problems or spit out a whole bunch of text that they can’t be bothered to write.

    While ChatGPT has been intentionally designed to be as friendly and conversational as possible, I hope most people do not see it as something to have a meaningful conversation with instead of as just a tool that can talk.

    Anecdotally, whenever I see someone mention using ChatGPT as part of their decision-making process it is usually taken less seriously, if not outright laughed at.




  • Oh yeah there’s definitely a bit of effort involved, but most distros have very similar directory setups, so it’s often just a matter of copying across the relevant folders, with the “home” folder being the one that typically contains most or all of your user data.

    Being able to test run distros off a USB drive is a great (and easy) way to see if it might be for you without making any sort of commitment.

    Another option is to install the distro to a second hard drive so you have a more permanent environment to test it. I’ve done this before, and when I was content that I wanted to switch to it I just copied all my stuff across.




  • Which is why…

    The court sentenced Butler to 78 years Aug. 25, but as long as he complies with his rehabilitation plan, he will not serve any jail time.

    …which was omitted from your summary. This guy is clearly getting a ridiculously light sentence, but this quote is vital information that shows how serious his offences were.

    While rehabilitation is a much better way to prevent re-offending compared with incarceration, this guy needs way more than just a year of counseling and a few weeks of community service.






  • I wasn’t denying the fact that you’re experiencing this issue, but since this is the first I’ve heard of something this bad in my 3 years of using GrapheneOS, this does appear to be a fairly unique case.

    Provided you are using an otherwise well-functioning and currently supported device (and not an emulator), and that you are using a stable release installed via an official method (and there were no install issues), your best bet would be to ask for help in one of the community chats or forums: https://grapheneos.org/contact#community

    You will be asked to share which device you are using though, which you did not seem comfortable doing in the post you linked to.

    Unrelated, but I learned about the Android “task manager” (Running Services) from that post of yours, so thanks for sharing that.
