Several things. Mosquitto to control an ecosystem of LEGO models, some CALDAV syncer, and a mediawiki engine for D&D worldbuilding.

Prosecuted for what, exactly? If push comes to shove, it’s a fifth amendment issue.

I see this whole LG affair as a good thing. Windows users get shown how fucked up their OS and ecosystem is by this, and LG monitors will drop into the discount zone for users who have Linux and don’t have to deal with such shit.

Took them long enough.

Is it really “censorship” if they openly state which shit they don’t want to have near their platform? If I opened any kind of platform myself, these two would be right behind “illegal activities” and “hate speech”. And I’d be proud to place them there.

If you have issues with not being able to put LLM shit or crypto “currency” scams anywhere, then you should look into selfhosting.

‘Rebel Alliance’ for Open Source: Good, I’m with you.

AI: Nope.

Carl Parker Buckman from the Story “A Fresh Start” by Rollie Lawson.

I was there when the “Neural Networks” idea started. They thought they could program NNs to achieve AGI. Now they think they can do it with LLMs. But LLMs are just parrots with a large dictionary. They won’t reach that point, either. An LLM is way too much rooted in words to be able to think.

It will be a race which AI company holds out longest. All of them are making losses that no company can survive, and if they rise their prices enough to cover the costs, they will basically lose all their customers. Who will then struggle to hire the people back who still know how to do things without AI.

Wow. Not what I expected in the Android world.

And can you review the source for this APK?

In the same class as any app store based communication software.
