Does your laptop fit in your pocket?

Okay so which app store delivers apps exclusively over TOR?

You realize they can just demand for it to be removed from the source repository?

Because it doesn’t currently exist. Does this really require explanation?

Which app store is invulnerable to takedown requests?

Exactly what I said. I don’t know why that would make you think that I thought you couldn’t write your own software.

No way, really!?

Right but, like, that doesn’t solve any problems. Because then the domain is unique to you.

It’d be great if we didn’t need Google for this…

Would you like to provide some context? WTF is “Public mobile”?

They have had a fraction of Chrome’s userbase long before any of this AI nonsense.

There are lots of legitimate uses for AI:

• I’ve seen it used to model components to be exactly as heavy as it needs to be, and no more, reducing weight and cost.
• I’ve seen it used in scientific studies
• I use it personally for writing emails, because I tend to write very short and people can be offended by my lack of fucks given about prose.
• It’s great for transcribing and summarizing meetings, and logging actions items, to be referenced later.
• I am required to use Google at work but I can pretty quickly find exactly the information I need in the documents in the Drive, using Gemini, where otherwise this would take a fucking eternity, because Google’s workspace search is a fucking atrocity.
• Generally just offloading boring and menial tasks.

The problem is:

• how it’s being applied. Which is when no one reviews the output.
• largely gen-AI. Lawyers showing up to court with made-up court cases.
• People using it to research things without verifying the information with an authoritative source.
• Marketing is pushing pushed on gen-AI so God damn hard, which is the least interesting and useful bit.

If you get it direct from the distributor then it just runs basic Android so there’s no reason it shouldn’t.

Crypto does not require any services. But if the person you’re trying to send to doesn’t accept crypto then you can’t send it.

Yes, “crypto” typically refers to cryptocurrency, not cryptography, in my experience.

Know. Your. Customer. Basically they verify your identity before providing you with any services. It’s a common phrase in the crypto space.

even privacy.com will KYC you

Ah, I use GNOME, maybe that’s why?

It’s “community-supported”, meaning they have nothing to do with it. They don’t care about private or free platforms.
