I do the same thing. Keep multiple profiles and just run sandboxed play services. It works fairly well. The only exception to not having play services is if you allow the app to run unrestricted in the background to always stay connected and fetch notifs. But it does drain battery 10 to 15 percent for just signal throughout the day depending so I can imagine it grows as you were to do that with more and more apps.

Only certain apps require play services, aurora store itself requires no play services. Just the potential for the apps you are trying to use. I’ve used F-Droid and aurora for years.

Aurora store front end works fine no Google account needed.

Just wanted to drop a comment.
I love solar. It’s the best form of energy that’s attainable by the average person.

Thanks. Rather than everyone downvoting for no real reason. Finally someone was atleast trying to be helpful. I will use it for super simple business card proofs or basic brochures that’s about it. Magnets, etc.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 2 weeks ago:
I’m fairly well versed in tech and home labbing. I’ve never heard of tools that do this, generate images, etc. Not good ones anyhow. I could use those type of generation for business marketing to develop business cards, marketing materials. NOT FOR PEOPLE GENERATION. Anyone have a list of the best tools? GPT sucks at doing this I’ve tried.
- Comment on Next-Gen Brain Implants Offer New Hope for Depression: AI and real-time neural feedback could transform treatments 2 weeks ago:
The point is not visuals, though I know what you mean. The point is to gain the introspection and Brain chemistry changes. Micro dosing less than . 5 grams daily for short periods NOT LONGTERM, are very effective control vs SSRIs. Large mega doses are where the real changes happen. I highly recommend significant research and carrful planning if you choose this route. Safety. Trip sitters. Be safe. There has been major changes in PTSD war veterans and all sorts if mental health issues.

Mega dose of mushrooms. Have you really tried everything? Micro dosing as well?
- Comment on LLMs factor in unrelated information when recommending medical treatments 3 weeks ago:
Not entirely true. I have several chronic and severe health issues. ChatGPT provides nearly and surpassing medical advice (heavily needs re-verified) from multiple specialialty doctors. In my country doctors are horrible. This bridges the gap albeit again highly needing oversight to be safe. Certainly has merit though.

The goal is to not let them take their fucking money and run. Because then it would be real… So you come up with a new idea, a better idea, a NEW STOCK.

Linux Mint would like a word. Best choice tech wise I ever made. Shit just works and it’s dead simple, polished, easy to learn and read programs. Fuck Windows. I will never go back. Make the jump!

Check comment above. This is a terrible idea. You’ll go from 2 stars to 5.

Federal offense and highly illegal. They take this extremely serious. Whatever target you were before, expect and multiple time increase in tracking doing this. They will make an example of you.
Source. Local police chases and FAA raids/reporting. Do not do this. You’d be better off finding another method.

What about walkie talkies? Short wave radios? Older tech comms devices?

How is Ollama compared to GPT models? I used the paid tier for work and I’m curious how this stacks up.

- Comment on Google Play’s latest security change may break many Android apps for some power users. The Play Integrity API uses hardware-backed signals that are trickier for rooted devices and custom ROMs to pass. 1 month ago:
Long as you beware that F droid apps could be malware or some other kind of bad actors. It’s a free range marketplace just be smart. Just because something is FOSS or open source doesn’t mean it’s free of bad stuff.

No idea but that is one I know about. Apparently the list keeps growing of these API calls being denied or flagged.

Already does. Some apps just don’t work. It’ll notif. And say Google api failed to validate login to your Google account. Example app EBay.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 1 month ago:
Now I get that 100 percent. Avoiding the task makes total sense, especially coming from students of all ages. I absolutely think critical thinking skills are foundational to understanding and knowledge and need to be practiced, learned so much more than they are.
I think rather than free range use of LLMs or any other tool there needs to be some guidance. I don’t think clogging the system with dumb laws will do it, and I certainly don’t have all the answers. But with the usage of GPT if it can be made explicitly accurate within reason, one can gain knowledge at an accelerated rate due to the speed it can process vast data.
Its awesome to see teachers, educators trying to evolve and improve the learning experience which we desperately need. So thanks for putting in the extra effort whether your rewarded or not financially. The real people the got failed, or generally care thank you for your efforts!
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 1 month ago:
I’ve been to 7 different schools and the answer is horrible pipe lines. But the true answer isn’t so black and white. It’d largely dependant on area, class, state and local Govts. School fails people everyday, the govt and its systems fail people everyday, medical fails people everyday etc. Systems are perfect they just allowed humans to organize. Subsequently also disorganize.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 1 month ago:
Phones totally need to be reeled in. Stop making a Do it all device. Self discipline and responsibility have been guard railed for years. This 100 percent.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 1 month ago:
You gave them a task, they used their imagination to apply it, in a different way than you expected, by using a new tool which is a non traditional method you asked for but the task still got completed. They still loosely completed the task 30 times ahead of schedule by using their imagination on how to constructively solve your problem, utilizing a tool in their imaginary bag.
I don’t think it’s wrecking the system, the system fails people everyday. I think it’s changing the traditional paradigm. Maybe for the better, maybe not. Time will tell. I think ChatGPT is a tool in its infancy. It’s changing the way minds think fundamentally like for isntance critical thinking skills decline by relying on “AI” but it frees up the mind to grow in other ways to adjust to the new paradigm.
I think the true point here is fear from breaking traditional values. Humans have never accelerated faster with current technology thats with or without LLM usage.
- Comment on fake keepass repo on github 1 month ago:
I get that. Which is why anti virus and things are kind of common sense is what everyone usually says. Watch what you do and click etc. But your reply did not really address my question. What’s the average Joe version of the link you posted, as it was for advanced users.
- Comment on fake keepass repo on github 1 month ago:
That’s a lot of advanced shit, which can totally bork a system. What average user paths can we take program wise or etc?
Like a Linux mint user for instance who’s first stop is diving into a Linux distro of their choice and wanting to gain 80 percent of the gains with 20 percent of the hassle and maintenance.
