I see it used as “things got worse” a lot but I did a quick search and looks like you’re right, on lemmy it’s used correctly most of the times.

Is it about how everyone is using the term wrong and it doesn’t mean anything anymore?

Relax everyone, it’s just some algorithm, not oven with LLM chat bot. It’s not even clear if it uses machine learning. It’s “AI” as a marketing term, not AI in technical sense.

‘”I have written only one Rust program, so you should take all of this with a giant grain of salt,”

I will listen to his sound advice and not take it very seriously.

Most of they will but hopefully we will still have projects like PinePhone or Fairphone that will support it.

As I said, I don’t think we can expect PostmarketOS to work on normal phones but looking at the table they have PinePhone figured out. My hope is that we will soon see something like PinePhone but with proper specs that will actually be usable and that some phone makes like Fairphone will help make PostmaketOS run on their phones. Couple of properly supported models is all we really need and I hope it’s couple of years away, not a decade.

No one here is talking about regular people. Regular people will keep using stock Android.

UBports still relies on Android kernel and services. Custom ROMs are such a small part of the Android ecosystem that I didn’t think Google will go after them yet they did. Can we be sure in a couple of years they will not try to destroy Android based distros like UBports?

I also don’t really like the entire idea behind UBports. It’s so heavily modified you can’t even easily run native Linux apps so you’re limited to Ubuntu Touch apps. As a developer I’m not really interested in learning completely new framework that supports only one platform. We have solutions to create cross platform Linux-Android apps so I can move my apps from Android phone to PostmarketOS without any work, they already work there.

So I’m supporting PostmarketOS and I really hope it will be usable when my Pixel phone dies. If not I will switch to something Halium based. What else is there to do?

Yes but you will also stop getting security fixes. After some time it gets risky.

Here you can see current state: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices

In theory it will just be another Linux able to run on everything Linux supports + Android hardware. Honestly I don’t know if it will ever run on common modern phones but it should at least be possible to run it on more “open” phones like Fairphone or PinePhone.

IMHO that’s our best shot. Totally Google free, mainstream Linux kernel.

Yeah, I have zero experience with 3D printing and all this so for me it’s always a too big of a project. Maybe one day I have a bit more time and can get to it

I hope you didn’t throw out the priv and key. In working order they are ~€150 each on ebay.

I did but all of them had some hardware issues. Still, if I knew I can use them for other projects I would just kept them in some box but I realized it after I got rid of them.

Where did you get the keyboard? I had a Q10 (and Priv, and Key) but I’m an idiot and I always throw the phones away weeks before discovering their parts may still be useful.

Are you able to use it with a case?

You’re actually using one? I saw similar project (or this one) some time ago. I also found BB10 keyboards modified to just act as USB keyboard and even tried to buy one but the supply was very limited and they would be gone in a matter of hours. And I have zero experience with JLCPCBs. And all phones are so big now that attaching extra keyboard to them wouldn’t be that practical. I would kill for a modern N900 type phone.

How are you using a keyboard in a browser on Android? I didn’t use keyboard since BlackBerry KEY.

lack of keyboard shortcuts

What keyboard shortcuts are missing from FF?

Google search history can be used as evidence but you cannot be charged with googling something. Do you understand the difference?

That’s what I said. Typing things into a chat doesn’t prove intent. For the same reason google is not monitoring searches and sending them to police. You can type anything you want into a search box. It’s never a crime.

Wrong. An attempt to commit a crime is a crime. Planning it is not. I can plan to rob a bank all I want. You would have to prove intent. Typing things in a chat doesn’t prove intent.

All of this is so fucking bizarre I can’t even wrap my head around it anymore. It’s a bot. How the fuck is it suddenly killing people? How is talking to a bot a crime now? Did everyone lose their minds?

I wonder what % of all translations are things like patents, legal paper and movies and what are simple localizations. Even in the more complex cases you can pass the entire text through AI first and then just proof read it and correct the errors.
