    I get hallucinations every day, including ones where Google is mixing up three different similarly named products, or is telling me that I can mix two cleaning products (which woul…

    That's where you're wrong. It sounds close to AI, but it's very clearly not AI generated. Let's look at > So let me be plain about it: Claude was not here. No LLM wrote this—not a …

    I disagree. It has none of the rhythm of AI generated text. Even humans that copy AI patterns adopt the AI rhythm at least on smaller scale. But this follows human structure and rh…

    Same, the post has an entirely different speech rhythm than AI. In Walter Murch's "In the Blink of an Eye" he describes how, when cutting a movie, the reason cuts work at all is be…

    I do notice and realize, and I've gotten to the point where I had to fork and patch most of them to fix the shitty AI generated code. It's so bad, and so everywhere , that I'm genu…

    The OS provides restrictions and permissions so that the user can apply them to apps. If the user chooses to free certain apps from restrictions, that should be their choice. But i…

    There's a lot of confusion around attestation, some of which is IMO done intentionally. First there is Android's attestation framework. That does actual hardware attestation, as us…

    Once upon a time(tm), Google had a great solution for that: You could get a credit card in nano SIM format, and insert into in your dual-SIM phone. That then allows you to do secur…

    We should be fighting against SafetyNet and similar attestation systems. The proper solution is one we had with desktop computing for decades. If you keep the key material on your …

    That's an interesting question. Personally, I'd say the north of Germany has more in common with Danish and Dutch people than with Bavarians (who in turn have more in common with t…

    Germany treats permanent residency much more like a "citizenship lite", e.g., if you are a permanent resident[1] any newborn children will automatically be German citizens (even th…

    Absolutely! Even if they require (like with bootloader unlock) adb and screen unlock for access. That'd still allow you to free your data. Ideally though the native filemanager sho…
