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.
- Comment on OpenAI Says It's Scanning Users' ChatGPT Conversations and Reporting Content to the Police 11 hours ago:
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?

So what’s the moral of this story? That you should miss some work days or that you should keep grinding in the hope of going viral one day?
- Comment on AI Killed My Job: Translators 1 day ago:
I wander 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.
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 1 day ago:
Come on, they don’t care. I will use a custom mod for as long as possible and when this stops working I will switch to two phones setup: de-googled daily driver and second phone for work/car apps. And if I will have to choose between stock Android and iPhone for the second phone I will go with iPhone.

How online banks like Revolut do it? How crypto exchanges do it? How Google’s age verification does it? I guess they will do the same.

Should that help people who were unfortunate to install that malware before the dev is banned?
It doesn’t say but it would make sense to check the certs periodically and not just on install.
Also how exactly do they hope to identify the dev as already banned if he tries to register again?
- Comment on Google plans to begin verifying the identity of all developers who distribute apps on Android, even if it's outside the Play Store, starting September 2026 1 day ago:
What personal data? They will invalidate this dev’s cert and ban him from getting a new one.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 1 day ago:
I would imagine the first thing any custom ROM would do is bypass Google’s app restrictions.
Those restrictions don’t apply to custom ROMs. Yes, it’s clear Google is trying to kill custom ROMs but I think we still have couple of years. Linux phones are improving fast and I think in 5 years we will end up in the same spot we were with PCs 20 years ago: you will be able do most of daily driving on a Linux phones but some apps just won’t be possible to run (Authenticator apps, banking apps, Whats App, Android Auto…). Dual booting will not be possible so most probably I will end up with two phones: daily driver and work/car phone.

If you want to use custom ROMs you have to check support before buying a phone. Fold 7 is not supported by any custom ROMs from what I can see. Also, I’m pretty sure you can just use Fennec with Adblock on stock Android and not have ads.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 1 day ago:
Of course, the real issue is that it requires developers to sing up into Google’s ecosystem to distribute any apps. The entire ecosystem of mods and alternative stores will be fine but it’s just another proof Google is trying to kill it.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 2 days ago:
Did some research and here are your options:
- use custom mod (the new restriction only applies to certified devices). You can use microG (/e/, iode, Lineage) or sandboxing (GrapheneOS) to run apps requiring Google services. Google will still try to kill it but my bet is it will still work for at least a couple of years
- Ubuntu Touch - you can buy new devices with it, it can run android apps using waydroid but you will not be able to run any apps requiring google services. It can run native Linux apps. Native UT apps are build using QML. It has a completely new system API so it’s closer to Android then native Linux. It’s based on Halium which uses the kernel from Android
- PostmarketOS - native Linux running native Linux apps. Can use waydroid. Few supported devices but everything works on PinePhone Pro and few others phones.
- Droidian or similiar - Debian running on Halium. Kind of half way between PostmarketOS and Ubunut Touch. Native Linux but running on Android based kernel
Personally, I will stick with GrapheneOS for now (my Pixel still has at least 6 years of support). When I’m unable to run all the apps I need on it I will switch to two phones setup: stock Android for work/car apps, some Linux phone for everything else. When my Pixel dies I will switch to iPhone.

I didn’t fold. They are just reorganizing. Don’t spread misinformation.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 2 days ago:
You can sideload but the developer has to be authorized by Google. I.e. you can still install apps from f-droid but people publishing apps on f-droid will have to register with Google.
- Comment on If you are paying to use "AI", who are you paying and what are your regular usecases? 2 days ago:
Anthropic chat but only because my employer paid for it. I use it for high level technical questions some time. For example I had to manually patch a binary executable and it help me understand it’s structure.
I also have some API tokens for OpenAI, Claude and Perplexity. I’ve build an app that uses LLM models to parse some complex data and I had to test integrations with different API providers.
- Comment on Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones 3 days ago:
For me it was always about:
- listening
- understanding
- figuring out what’s relevant
- writing the relevant parts down
Being able to take notes with a pen wasn’t about how fast I wrote but about how little I wrote. Notes were there only to help me remember what was covered and write down some concrete values/dates/names that are hard to remember.

Glad you liked it. I think the low rating is because the movie is simply too smart for a lot of people. Like it’s actually smart Sci-Fi, not just pretending to be smart like Interstellar.
The same guy also did Open Your Eyes (www.imdb.com/title/tt0125659/) which was remade in US as Vanilla Sky. If you haven’t seen it check out the Spanish original.

www.imdb.com/title/tt4074928/ - I really liked this movie about it. Without spoilers, the idea basically is that to keep getting funding the company has to prove that the technology works. They have to start waking people up and someone has to be first. Decades after you’ve been frozen all your family is long dead so you’re basically company’s property, they can do whatever they want…

- Comment on Solar panels in space could cut Europe's renewable energy needs by 80% 6 days ago:
I think climate change mitigation can be the next scam after AI. Once AI bubble bursts they will start looking for new investments and I think climate change is ready to start generating profits. People are desperate enough to start investing money in things that will limit effect of climate change. Who will profit? Corporation that will work on those projects. Anything space related (solar panels in space, geoengineering) will require Space X/Blue Origin. Google, Microsoft and Amazon are already invested in nuclear fusion and modular reactors. Tesla is an energy provider. Any CO2 sequestration projects will require new startups, obviously backed by the same corporations. My guess is very soon we will see governments paying those companies to solve the problem they created. Even more money will be pumped to the 1%. It went form “climate change isn’t real”, to “climate change isn’t caused by humans”, to “it is caused by humans but nothing can be done about it”. Next step will be “we can fix it if you pay us”.
