At least tpu can tell the AI to get you to a human and most of the time it actually does so.

Having voice recognition in place of the usual “press x” before AI was even worse. Bot that now it’s much better though.

So far, yes. But what if they will close stuff down more? My understanding is majority of work on Android is done by Google - so they can decide it will no longer be open source, or just partially.

Not sure if there is a definite confirmation on this, but I do remember there were hints that at some point they might not support new Pixels. No source on hand though, I only have vague recollection on this

This has to be just a first step though.

Graphene is Android based. Not sure what it’d mean for them in case Android fully locks down.

The best lies have some kind of truth in them. Half truths are way more effective than complete falsehoods.

“live service” game that isn’t ran as a live service game

Live service games are not defined by overmonetization. It just means it’s a live service ran well.

/e/ OS is just a degoogled Android (similar to Graphene, but not so security oriented). You can install the same apps - though some might not work properly.

Sailfish OS is Linux, but if I understand it correctly they have a compatibility layer enabling you to seamlessly install Android apps on it.

At this point it is a waiting game. My next phone might be Android, but I sure hope the mobile Linux ecosystem is in a good place for the one after that. Preferably I’d switch on nearest opportunity though. I still have some time left in terms of support for my current phone so I have time to think and test the waters.

Not /e/OS user, but it is Android - just degoogled. Uses microG as a replacement for Google services if I’m not mistaken.

As for apps, I recommend checking out an app called Plexus on Fdroid - it’s an app where people report how apps work on alternative ROMs with either microG or fully degoogled. It’s pretty neat.

Fairphone focuses on sustainability and modularity, with degoogled OS options.

Graphene focuses on security and privacy. Degoogled out of the box.

Likely because Discord is not as widely known - and it’d make the title longer.

The way I understand it, you need a non-stock Android that wouldn’t enforce the cert requirements

Don’t threaten us with a good time

Why even have Windows at this point? Just have Copilot as the OS and be done with it.

Just shows how well the rebranding was thought through.

Also on an assumption made where an informed decision could be made instread. State of technology is an objective thing

Definitely, there is using AI when you want and then there is having AI forced down your throat

Search engine replacement is probably the only use case of AI for me - for the times when I don’t know exactly what I’m searching for so the conversation style is helpful.
