I’m very well aware, but the apple folks tend to be a LOT more dogmatic and vocal. When people talk shit about android, nobody really cares. Do it to apple? Jfc.

I am pointing this out because the current mess will never change for the better until apple users stop supporting apple. No, you dont have a lot of choices, but stop signaling support for them. Get mad and demand better. Be vocal about THAT.

All the apple fans out down voting today…

FYI this may not be the time to take allegiance with them if you at all understand what is going on.

Not to defend it, but the first time I encountered the term was when BlackBerry released their Playbook tablet. It ran their bbos10 and they created an android emulator so you could run some android apps. The process of installing the apk into the emulator was called sideloading.

I miss BlackBerry is all I really wanted to say.

Exactly. Crap for the masses. Worked for McDonalds.

I was a reasonably happy Rhapsody/Napster user until crypto bros bought it and turned it into fucking garbage. They literally broke the damn app (not phone, entire web app) for weeks after some weird change where they put crypto crap into it. It was entirely unusable.

After that I gave up. Spotify has far more support and integrations. I don’t care for Spotify and how little they pay their artists, but it works and support is far wider.

I’d go back to Napster if they weren’t ass as they did actually pay their artists better. Their app footprint is tiny and support is weak. I integrate a lot of stuff with my home assistant and other things; trying to do it with Napster would likely be a frustrating dead end.

I almost clicked that.

Nice try FBI

Way ahead of you. I dont watch Disney anything but I’m about to fill my disks with Disney crap and seed away.

That’s kind of the point. Only target crime by poor brown people as they can’t afford lawyers.

Try putting a surveillance system in a corporate boardroom and see how that goes over.

So the ones left are the incompetent ones?

Heck yes gonna cheat on my taxes this year!!!

It will be stupid, but I presume there will be a rise in desktop apps or webapps that require you to only plug the phone in and it will handle the rest.

Donate to the project. Graphene is run by a very small group of people who are very good at automation.

I don’t think they could effectively produce a whole new platform unless they had a lot more help.

If you value privacy, gonna have to crack open the wallet or volunteer to help.

If we just hope someone will save us, we are going to be very disappointed.

I would have rather seen the development of BBOS10. It was so far ahead of its time.

That whole thing we do with swipe gestures to navigate the android interface? Yeah BBOS had that years ago.

I miss my Passport.

It is unoriginal because meta already did it! They directly referenced meta in their description.

Tl;dr two over privileged teenage psychopaths stole a stupid idea from Meta/google that was hated by many and are going to make it worse by going all-in on the reasons people hate them.

Let’s get these guys some money!!!

Fuck these talentless twerps.

Privacy matters. If it didnt, bathrooms would not have doors.

I do not understand people who use their garage to store useless crap and leave their car outside. The car is more valuable than the crap.

Dump all that useless junk into a dumpster. Get a bike shed, put the mower in it too.

The garage is for cars, not bikes, mowers or trash nobody cares about.

Looking at you California.

In the us, home chargers will typically run on 240 volts, similar to a dryer or electric stove.

The amperage can be as low as 16 amps (not common) and up to 40 amps. There are higher amperage chargers, but they’re not super common. Most homes dont have that much capacity provisioned and adding it to the breaker box means new circuits and often the power company has to provide a higher capacity meter. It gets expensive.

Since volts x amps = watts, a 240 volt charger that operates at 40 amps will charge at 9600 watts or 9.6 kilowatts (maximum).

You can charge using a standard 120v outlet, most are rated for 15 amps. However, you will get 120v x 15a = 1800 watts or 1.8 kilowatts (maximum).

It takes a while to get settled.

You have traded a perception of convenience for security, privacy and freedom.

Many people bounce back and forth for a bit, dont feel bad if you get fatigued and go back for a few. However, once you start using Linux, you’ll start to see the truth about windows. You’ll be back, even if you leave for a few.

Be patient, you’ll learn the ropes and soon it will be second nature.

Also, your logs will tell you much. Uploading a log to an ai makes troubleshooting much easier.

Of all the things that are a real problem in this world, we are going after gas stoves?!

I keep seeing this and it feels very much orchestrated. Next, we will get the people who love their induction cooktops yapping about how they are far superior. Unless you have an aluminum pan. Or if its not the right size. You know, things that aren’t issues on normal cooktops.
