Even Graphene is nigh-unusable without Google services.

You also clearly missed the point of my comment

I understood your point completely. Yet mine somehow still zipped over your head. This is not a choice any particular individual can make. Other people make that choice for you.

OP mentioned store or inapp purchases plus cloud subscription.

I mean they could simply…stop doing that?

noone knows what apple is doing with it

I assume nothing until proven otherwise, considering we know for a fact that any other device is going to be sending a plethora of data for Google to monetize.

What “recurring revenue stream” are you referring to? And what data?

Maybe they did? You’re kinda missing the point though, which is that this stuff is becoming more and more common and will be nigh-unavoidable in the future.

Unfortunately that market is already flooded with functionally-useless 8GB machines.

I mean he’s become a whole lot richer. Tesla is just a casualty. Why he hasn’t been ousted from the board or sued by investors, I don’t understand.

You already own it. You aren’t doing Apple any favors by continuing to own it and you’re not hurting them by getting rid of it.

It didn’t mention anything about the CPU in the install instructions…

I guess I’ll give it a try on my Linux machine.

Edit: Linux install was successful

I don’t

Let me introduce you to alternativeto.net

I’ve discovered lots of cool software this way.

Just about everyone I know is on FB and/or IG. I know 4 ppl on BlueSky with a combined 4 posts. Maybe 10 ppl on Signal. 0 ppl on fedi.

That’s what I’m trying to run it on.

Just got mine and getting this error. Would appreciate any support you nerds can give me because I don’t have a Github account:

Using adb at ./platform-tools/adb Force a switch into the debug mode to enable ADB /Applications/release/install-common.sh: line 20: ./serial-macos-latest/serial: Bad CPU type in executable

Edit: Installed via Linux, here’s what the UI looks like

There’s now a green line going across the top of the display and apparently if it detects any problems the line will turn red. Still no idea how I get that info back to the EFF though.

Revolt chat

All of the voice assistants have been complete dogshit since day 1 (sometimes even getting worse) and yet somehow we still have them.

I’m not a crypto expert but once crypto is mined, it’s mined. And I don’t think hardly anyone is mining it anymore. And not all crypto requires so much energy in the first place.

Yeah that’s why the Grifter in Chief is all over it.

Honestly don’t know. Something to do with the Tensor chip and monthly and quarterly software updates.
