But as an AI skeptic, you optimists are the air that I breathe. So we’re just breathing each others?

But you’re still limited by the designer of that shell? Or userspace? Or kernel? Or cpu architecture? I mean, how deep should you go before «it’s however YOU want»?

This isn’t true. You can buy oil with other currencies. It’s just that dollars are liquid. No pun intended.

That’s because those who (our countries that enforce it) eat less, have smaller properties, less productive cars and infrastructure etc, those are the countries that will have the short end of the stick in 10-20 years time - just look at Europe. The tragedy of the commons at a global scale.

Thanks for this. I wish it was an easy way to market this info to the wider non technical audience. It is a huge selling point for GOS that is difficult to package and make attractive (because it is difficult to understand / care about).

Good idea. Maybe it wouldn’t be too bad to just attach the code brick to my keyring anyways.

Well… you can run android without google? The problem is that essential security services require apple or google devices and you as a member of society need the security services.

Would this not require some control over the hardware? Which would be difficult for the FOSS community?

Problem is that all banks require a national centrale controlled service for login (BankID in Norway). And it is this service that I cannot get to work running GrapheneOS. It worked a couple of months ago, but not anymore. And all customer services and complaints are directed to your bank who 1) has no idea what i am talking about and 2) no control over BankID verification requirements.

Correction: i did get bank access. I just couldnt log into the bank without a google or apple controlled device.

I tried. But then I didnt get access to essential services like banking and national resources.

Impossible?

Pseudoproductive jobs consisting of stuff like replying to irrelevant emails, filling out unnecessary paperwork, writing reports no one will ever read. Coincidentally, people on these jobs often sees the biggest upside with AI.

Great read, thanks. Just always consider what you are doing when you tag a friend in a meme: feeding your friend the internet drug. Is that what you wanna do to someone you care about?
