So gay, he had his former lover killed.

Prelude to a closed (north korea/russia style) internet?
Now this I can use.
Vlc can be a bit… Tedious.
Thanks.
There’s a difference between the want for convergence with tech for all, if they want
Vs.
We’re going to transfer your consciousness into a virtual world and use you for biofuel while we, the powerful enjoy the wealth of your sacrifice.

It’s called the dark enlightenment.
This article warns from way back in 2017 https://qz.com/1007144/the-neo-fascist-philosophy-that-underpins-both-the-alt-right-and-silicon-valley-technophiles
They also want to use you for biofuel.
No, I’m not fucking kidding. These people are pure evil
“The trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass. However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.”

The 53-year-old Tesla and SpaceX CEO told Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson in an interview last July that the decision to build a supercomputer in Memphis evoked references, at least in part, to the Memphis of ancient Egypt and its pantheon of gods.
“Perhaps that’s where our new god will come from,” Musk said.
It is not age verification.
It is privacy invading, morality policing, de-anonymizing, state surveillance.
Nothing less.
PS. If you want to download a video from a site that doesn’t have a download button, use the Inspect feature (right click on the page, not the video, and click inspect)
*On the Network tab - Sort by size. Reload page. Find the video. Open the video in new tab. It will be just the video. Right click and save as, or click the download button, or click the 3 dot menu button and select download.
On Firefox you can often bypass this entirely by shift + right click. And should see a save video as option. If not, the inspect feature works the same.
For hls/TS videos (m3u8 streams), if you reallllly want, you can copy the link for the stream and use VLC to convert the stream to a file.
This also often lets you download at higher resolution than they offer to download.
Yes, I porn.
*forgot Network tab
And thanks for all the suggestions. I’d rather not install browser plugins if I can do it without. CLI tools are cool though. The less I need to install the better.
The ideas were patented 25 years ago.
More than likely the app package that is irritating you is called:
com.android.wallpaper.livepicker
Or something similar.
Without knowing your android aversion though, I can’t say for certain.
To check for the package using ADB
adb shell pm list packages -a live
This will show you all packages which have the word ‘live’
You can disable it using ADB using the command:
adb shell pm disable <package name>
You can also use a GUI tool like Universal Android Debloater
As always, backup and use caution.
The only problem with destroying capitalism is deciding who gets all the nukes.
If a program is given a set of instructions, it should produce that set of instructions.
If a program not only does not produce those instructions, but gives itself its own set of instructions, and the programmers don’t understand what’s actually happening, that may be cause for concern.
“Self aware” or not. (I’m sure an ai would pass the mirror test)
People seem to have no problem with the term machine learning. Or the intelligence in ai. We seem to be unwilling to consider a consciousness that is not anthrocentric. Drawing that big red line with semantics we create. It can learn. It can defend itself. It can manipulate and cause users harm. It wants to survive.
Sometimes we need to create new words or definition to explain new things.
Remember when animals were not conscious beings just driven by instinct or whatever we told ourselves to make us feel better?
Is a bee self aware? Is it conscious? Does it eat, learn, defend, attack? Does it matter what we say it is or isn’t?
There are humans we say have co conscience.
Maybe ai is just the sum of human psychopathy / psychosis.
Either way, semantics are semantics, and we ourselves might just be simulations in a holographic universe.

Remember the good ole days when the internet was for porn?
Now, porn is ai cock blocked and Nazis are what’s being shoved down your throat.
All I know is Gemini is not on my graphene pixel 9
Thanks for the information.
I found this specific clause very … porous.
Clarification — commercial purpose 6 For greater certainty, for the purpose of section 5, an organization that incidentally and not deliberately provides a service that is used to search for, transmit, download, store or access content on the Internet that is alleged to constitute pornographic material does not make available pornographic material on the Internet for commercial purposes.
So… I guess Bing will once again be my goto incidental indeliberate porn search engine. And reddit. And Lemmy.

Surprisingly, a conservative senator had a fairly well reasoned, and cautious, (although still supportive), response speech.

It still has a long way to goto get through senate committee and house readings and committees and all that. Still, might be a good time to scrape all the porn.
Senior security writer uses adb shell command he doesn’t understand to do something to a package he doesn’t know is or isn’t on his phone.
Uh. OK.
Anyway.
I have 2 devices one on android 13 and one on grapheneos. Neither has Gemini.
To check for Gemini:
adb shell pm list packages bard
and since I don’t know if it’s a regular apk or not:
adb shell pm list packages --apex-only bard
To be super sure, I also checked using shell commands device_config list and getprop, and grep for strings including: gemini, bard, smart, ai, model, and personal(ize/ation)
eg adb shell device_config list | grep --color -i smart
