It’s because people get mislead by the “agent”, assuming there’s something actually intelligent at the other end, able to act like they would, just… Automated.

What a clown. In what world do you require an LLM to check for duplicate pictures??

I mean, good on him for realizing that LLMs are dogshit. But still.

You can, without root even! Take a look at uad-ng (universal android debloater). Comes with a community-curated list which sorts APKs into 5 tiers from “recommended to uninstall” to “yeah don’t, your phone needs this to boot”. Apps disabled through this do not come back after updates.

Removed 140+ apps from my Xiaomi, 120+ from my GFs Samsung S24, and 90+ from my brothers Motorola Edge something.

Called their support. They were super nice, and then told me that if I still had access to my 2fa, I could simply add a second mail in my account without needing access to the first one.

Made total sense when stopping to think about it for a second 😄

Oh, yeah. Wasn’t actually worried of the mails themselves (multiple devices which have all of them, plus a daily borgbackup offsite), it was just knowing that I NEED to fix this, now, because email is unfortunately kinda important.

Fun conundrum: had my personal mail as the only contact at my server provider. Requested a KVM for rescue. “Thank you for your request! We’ll email you the link to your KVM access!” Gahhh.

Same. But also, I’ll never forget the adrenaline when I actually legitimately fucked up once. Was a sweaty 2 hours of recovery.

No-one is forcing you to install Adobe software. Stop crying about other people liking choices.

Yeah! Because famously, labor cost is what the high US healthcare costs go towards!

Let’s hope the same thing will happen if/when the US tries to take Greenland; but honestly, I’m not optimistic. At least here in Germany, politicians and businesses are so used to licking the US’ boot that I have a hard time imagining a seismic shift. Not to mention that thanks to our dependence on US software, we’re incredibly vulnerable.

Still. One can hope.

The show is endlessly quotable

Mallory Archer?

Right, so the joke is misogyny, got it.

I don’t get it, what’s so funny about that joke?

Don’t forget the almighty:

journalctl -fu <servicename>

And yes, I am always reading that as “fuck you, service”.

Yeah, but unfortunately, the keyboard does not look promising.

I’m sure we will get there, eventually. Just an uphill battle… As always.

Hardware wise, we’re basically there. Especially since there’s multiple recently-ist mainstream phones on which you can install Linux.

UI/UX seems to be a nightmare though, plus missing software

Company went “here’s your budget for ordering a laptop. Put on it whatever you want”, and so there’s NixOS running on it :)

(To be fair though: small-ish, tech focused company)

Awesome haha. ALmost exact same setup here, incl. OpnSense with an isolation vlan in which (brother) printer and TV are.

I only use the Nvidia Shield remote. It obviously does everything on the Shield, plus tv on/off, and volume. Then I remapped the Netflix button on it to open a little quick actions menu to select brightness/picture mode levels.

Haven’t touched the lg remote since

Incredible. What a shit idea.

Anyways, kids, remember: never let your smart devices talk to the internet. We actually love our LG OLED - it’s fantastic hardware. But it has not once, and never will, get the chance to phone home.
