This was my first thought lol. Like, there are flattering photos of Hegseth? At best he looks smarmy.

They’d work. You might need to install play services for those, not totally sure (Google has shoved an annoying amount of functionality into play services). NFC itself is functional, but various apps that support NFC may not work because of Play Integrity.

Generally there are no real problems. If you’re fine with mostly stock AOSP, you should be fine with GrapheneOS.

If you use Google Pay, you’re out of luck. There are alternatives for that depending on where you live though (mostly in Europe, in the US there’s no other option AFAIK). Rarely an app won’t work, but usually fiddling with some security settings for the app will fix it. Very rarely an app won’t work at all because (like Google Wallet) it uses Play Integrity and requires a level that requires Google to certify the OS.

Pretty much the only thing I miss is the ability to do NFC payments.

What the fuck is going on in this thread? Feels like there are a lot of new low-quality accounts recently.

I didn’t really get this impression from the post since there was nothing negative about generative AI beyond the pro-copyright argument. Frankly, it seems closer to pro-AI to me. The OP’s reply to the top-level comment doesn’t help either.

“cheap old ten years old low-end laptop”

Pretty sure they’re actually a bot given that they nearly instantly reply and they’ve replied to almost every top-level comment in this thread.

If not, they’re just a total shithead tbh given that they talk about homosexuality being a choice elsewhere.

I guess you’d be fine if everyone treated you as a lizard and required you to live and act like a lizard. It’s all good because you know you’re not, right?

People can be wrong about literally anything. That is not an excuse to say “fuck everyone else in this group.”

If you extend this argument, we shouldn’t believe what anyone tells us about absolutely anything because they might have made a mistake. Truly a great basis for human society.

The amount of people who detransition is incredibly small compared to the overall trans population, and even then most people detransition because society didn’t accept them and battered them down until they gave up.

I listened to some of the “music.” I’m not sure wtf is going on in his head at this point, and I’m glad I don’t understand.

Ah interesting. I would probably avoid using it that way except for a one-off alias or something.

I may be mistaken, but I believe the built-in email server is purely for aliases, so it’s basically something like SimpleLogin or addy.io combined with Bitwarden.

Not sure if they’ve resolved this, but last I checked you couldn’t reply using the aliases (or maybe that was just their cloud offering?). Everything else I’ve seen has been pretty cool though, so I’m really hoping they succeed.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of the people here going “just don’t use social media then” are missing part of the point. Like, as she specifically mentioned, the misogynistic discourse happening online is also happening offline. Even if you yourself manage to avoid most online misogyny by not using social media, you’ll still be exposed to it through everyone else who is and all the people watching and reading stuff like Fox. It’s just kind of everywhere.

The biggest risk in terms of human extinction is a government allowing an AI to make unchecked military (e.g. nuclear) decisions.

As the other person said, that book is also full of conspiracy theories so…

Both the personal scandals and blackmail material links are about George H. W. Bush, not George W. Bush.

My point is that wasn’t the original reason the EU started looking into this. They started looking into it because of all the shit the Trump admin is doing. If someone like Biden or Harris had been elected, there wouldn’t be this big push to swap off US tech. Economic growth is just a possible side benefit.

Seems like a roaring endorsement to me.

According to Google, the idea of replacing current tools with open-source programs would not contribute to economic growth.

I like how Google just talks about economic growth when the main reason to swap off US tech is to not be entirely beholden to an untrustworthy govt for European digital infrastructure. Kind of shows how fucked up the mentality of Google execs is that all they can think about is money.
