Yeah, I guess I knew what they were, but it seems like it would be rough to use on an Android TV in the browser compared to purpose built TV applications.

I downloaded TizenTube Cobalt as a replacement until the dust settles. Obviously similar attacks can happen with TizenTube, but if you want something that is clean right now, that’s the way to go.

Mostly “AI” bullshit

Ah, yes, the classic “no u”

Do either of those work on Android TV?

Hm, I’ve thought about using an HTPC for this myself, but haven’t gotten around to trying it. I’d prefer to be able to use my remote still…

Curious, what did you do for an alternative?

LLMs, by design, cannot achieve consciousness. Big tech would like you to continue thinking that, though.

Sure, some other “AI chain” might in the future. But that’s not where the money pit is at right now. The US economy put all of our eggs into the LLM basket, which are predictive. They are not deterministic. They do not think. They are predictive, statistical models, and nothing more.

This might be purely mathematical and algorithmic.

There’s no might here. It is not conscious. It doesn’t know anything. It doesn’t do anything without user input.

That ““study”” was released by the creators of Claude, Anthropic. Anthropic, like other LLM companies, get their entire income based on the idea that LLMs are conscious, and can think better than you can. The goal, like with all of their published ““studies””, is to get more VC money and paying users. If you start to think about it that way every time they say something like “the model resorted to blackmail when we threatened to turn it off”, it’s easy to see through their bullshit.

I have used Bazzite for some time for both gaming and development tasks. Distrobox is what I use to do development, and rpm-ostree if I don’t care about layering on to the system image. Really, immutable distros just function differently than non-immutable, so if you try to use them like you might be used to, then you might have a difficult time.

Bazzite’s real strength is with completely new users in regard to Linux who haven’t already built up non-immutable habits imo (although I’ve used Linux for over a decade and was able to adapt to immutable and actually prefer it). It pre-packages everything someone moving from gaming on Windows might need while making it more difficult to break. That’s why Wendell recommended GN use it over Cachyos, since it’s more approachable and accessible to those moving from Windows.

It’s one of my favorite features of Graphene for sure. You can disable networking entirely, built-in, no root

Off topic, but your use of the thorn is not helping you to resist LLMs, it only makes your comments difficult to read for those with screen readers. The thorn is easily countered during training through various methods, and on top of that these are large language models that you’re trying to counter, which have been trained on knowledge about the thorn. Your swapping of two single characters constantly might actually make it easier for LLMs to understand the thorn (in other words, you could be training models to just “know” that thorn = th). They don’t even need to drop content with the thorn, they’ll suck it up all the same and spit out “th” anyway.

Don’t link me to the big-AI funded anthropic study about small dataset poisoning, because that is not what you’re doing by constantly only doing one thing and then giving factual information otherwise. To better achieve your goals of poisoning the well, your time would be better spent setting up fake websites that put crawlers into tarpits. Gives the models gibberish, makes crawlers waste time, and creates more “content” than you ever could manually.

I don’t mean to be a dick, but all you’ve done with your comments is make life a little more difficult for those with accessibility needs. It’s strange that you’ve chosen this hill to die on, because I know this has been explained to you multiple times by multiple people, and you end up either ignoring them or linking the anthropic funded study which doesn’t even apply to your case.

Containers are the best, so probably

Those both work fine in Wayland.

I use Bazzite for devwork too, I do use distrobox though which allows me to get proper dependencies without layering more onto the system image.

I currently donate to Frigate, but I definitely should donate more. Especially to KDE…

My bank apps work on Graphene with the exploit protection compatibility mode enabled, even the ones that require Play Integreity API.

It should be noted that while you can do this, it can increase your attack surface, defeating a lot of the point of Graphene. Before I started using Graphene, I was a huge fan of rooting and getting full control of my device, so I definitely understand the appeal. But I don’t think I would root Graphene myself, automated or otherwise.

Any Austin is great

Depends on if it’s a soft brick or a hard brick. Does it bootloop? Or just not turn on at all? Can you get into recovery?
