Or like me: Eventually you get used to -and learn to appreciate- nearly anything, and you enjoy that process of discovery?

I switch Android/iOS (and once Windows Mobile) every time I get a new phone (which is when it breaks, usually after 5-6 years), it's always a bit of pain, like now I really miss some iOS features (iPhone mini 12 did not survive the humid jungles of Malaysia), but my Pixel 10 with GrapheneOS has some cool things, like a desktop mode! I'm beginning to appreciate the (in screen) fingerprint reader, but indeed, at first I really missed face-id. Overal Android (at least GrapheneOS) is more like a full computer than iOS. Which has pros and cons. And, hooray for LibrePods ;) (AirPods work without it, but it adds some nice things.)

I also feel a switch to KDE/Konveyor coming up after years of vanilla Gnome...

Btw, the normal Claude app does work.

Like with TXitter (which seems to show one tweet, or a bit more) I will simply not see Reddit information anymore. Thanx for all the fish I guess. Tbh the web UI (except for old.reddit) was already horrible enough to annoy the S out of me whenever I landed on it.

Was hoping for a conversational AI that can do background talks, was just curious, but I prefer to set it all up using Hermes anyway.

Still disappointing to see so when things are not working on Graphene, though for some apps I suspect it's because I'm on Android 17?

Weird thing is that my banking is app is well known for not being allowed because "it uses the stricktest setting" (whatever that is) yet install and runs fine via Aurora store...

Can't use it, won't log me in on GrapheneOS. ("Can't be verified via Google Play")

Profound shock.

I often think of Picard looking down at us, through a force field in the Enterprise D, sees our wars, our inequalities and slowly shakes his head: "Savages". In his role as Picard he was a bit of a teacher to me.

It's what we do ;). I'll never forget my visit to the Delta Werken, 35 years ago? Remove our dikes, boom, half the country gone.

Anyway, the Netherlands also seems to be an attractive place to build datacenters.

A connectome is typical grown, in wombs around the earth... DNA contains all the information needed to build it. I think we should start there, not with a printer.

Is this the precursor to biological computers? I mean, biological computers don't have transistors as a basis, nor does this...

And before any answers with "But these neurons are very different to biological neurons!": Yes I know, I'm a biologist, I cultured neurons. But, these neurons are closer to neurons than semiconductor transistors.

Yes, perhaps, and that is annoying for poster, it also happens that people tell me that and I am annoyed. But there are times when it is justified. I believe this to be such a time, but perhaps I'm wrong.

This is the type of question any LLM can explain to perfection on any technical level, from 5 year old to IT pro, so, I'd try that?

If I literally ask an LLM your question it makes beautiful table of pros cons, underlying tech etc. So, LM G<>LLM TFY ;)

The amount of people claiming to be happy to have never gotten on the Tailscale (or other virtual network layer like Nebula) boat is too damn high. Remember people, it's just a layer. I.e. GitLab seems to have a new set of critical CVEs every week now, and I have been glad to have Tailscale (plus a physical firewall) as a layer in front of it. Total stress level would have been higher without Tailscale.

And before people start coming up with alternatives, I know, but they either have the same (theoretical level of) attack surface (ie [managed] Nebula), or they require much more manual work (ie Wireguard) and are therefore more sensitive to misconfiguration.
