From my perspective, he is probably referring to chromeOS’s crosvm container, which virtualises a debian install (or other distros). Since Chromebooks are popular in schools, predominantly in the USA but even still globally, students are likely to attempt to gain further functionality out of their devices, and hence experiment with Linux, get used to it and possibly install it on different devices (or on that same Chromebook through the mrchromebox firmware) in the future.

Edit: alternatively, he could just be referring to flooding the market with cheap Linux laptops for specific purposes like education workflows or standard consumer workflows, just like how Chromebooks achieved that footing in the market.

I actually had an AI assist me in flashing the firmware, as well as flashing a custom ROM later on, of a phone I was just testing on for fun, and I was only confident since I had a chunk of prior knowledge of ADB as well as other tools and the differences between mobile and desktop system structures, and for the stuff I didn’t understand or know, I just researched externally and figured it out.

Blindly trusting it though is a fools errand, just like myself a few years back messing with my laptop’s Linux install, copy pasting everything and then complaining when shit broke.

Absolutely, it’s mainly just a ton of sensory overload from going to shopping centres and other places, then a lot of stimming once I get home. I’ve also felt some massive burnout from enjoying messing with tech, which I did for like a week straight and then after that I felt numb.

I feel as though I’ve regressed recently, but from my pov it seems to just be the fact I’ve tried my best to not mask and mention my boundaries a lot more often, which has worked a bit but also reminded myself and others about how I used to act as a young child, I was thought of as easy to anger and the stereotypical “youngest child”, but hey, I feel a lot better since accepting that I may have ADHD, autism or both (currently undiagnosed but I’ll get that done once I cross that path)

Honestly, I would’ve guessed more

Fucking smoke alarms

I’ve actually replaced my phone, messages and contacts apps with the fossify ones and I gotta say, the oppo ones were slow, would jump sometimes and just were very slow to respond to when texts or calls hit the phone. In contrast, the fossify messages app responds pretty much instantly to messages, the fossify phone app responds instantly to calls, and the two consume way less resources than the preloaded apps.

Whole lot of unmoderated ones too, so there’s lots of unfiltered porn

And on the flip side, occasional SEO fuckups cause random terms to show porn image results

For example, I was searching for millimetre wave cell towers on duckduckgo a while back, I typed “MM wave cell tower” and saw a whole bunch of massive tiddies on the standard filtering setting. They fixed this a week after me discovering it however, so if you were hoping to see tits from searching telco infrastructure, I suppose you’re outa luck.

getting given advice by another person who you’ve already told that such advice does not work. Prime example: me telling my mother my sensory issues and triggers, then she tells me to just not think about it, as if that would ever change the fact I can’t filter environmental noise from my mind at all…

Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby type shit

I wish an AI operating system was just a bunch of microscopic AI models that only load when needed and run on device and have a genuine assistive purpose, instead of “Oh, HahA leTs maKe The comPuTer ContrOL iTsElf aNd tELL UsEr FalSe InFormAtioN”

I find it funny when they read my school emails and then accuse themselves of phishing after they accuse me of holding malware in my drive, icing on the cake really, I won’t even need this email in a month.

That said though, just like others have mentioned, making users opt out of getting all the data wringed out of their account isn’t the most ethical strategy and frankly it’s a bit over the top.

They already scan everything from your Google drive to your YouTube recommended, google news feed, docs files, and just you browsing and using that as data for advertising and their AI. I don’t think emails are the best source of personalised information nor would assist in training new Gemini models unless they want to build an email spam bot.

The content is also AI generated. NotebookLM and it’s feature to make videos based on sources the user provides generates a full video, and it’s 1 click unless the user wants to add a prompt for the video. A dead giveaway for this full video being generated is the thumbnail, which is from the classic visual style preset and is usually the first slide.

There is also the NotebookLM watermark in the bottom right, which is also a giveaway.

I haven’t watched the video at all but from the thumbnail it’s a NotebookLM video. The only time I would remotely trust or even recognise an AI video is if I choose to generate one, even then though, they’re usually shit.

Funny how only 2 people upvoted this

I find it so funny how it fluctuates so much between days, like one day I can read a 15 paragraph article in a solid 4 minutes, but the next day I can barely even read the time

Moving my fingers in a rhythmic pattern like a wave on my right hand

that AI council idea he had was so intriguing honestly, but realistically I won’t be able to run even a 10th of that

frst thing I thought when I saw the first image was “Freeman, stop fucking with the microwave”

True as fuck. A few days ago I was walking to my mother to tell her something, but halfway through going down the stairs I completely forgot and told her “hold on lemme go back upstairs to remember what I was gonna say”. I then recalled that I wanted to tell her I ate an amazing chicken burger when I was out that day.
