  I appreciate that as what’s currently tagged as Not Safe For Work in many sources are actually fine for work and adults, it’s immature minds (usually those under 16) and people under the influence of conservative values that it’s not safe for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google removes Doki Doki Literature Club! from the Play Store⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my journey to remove myself from as many unethical companies as possible I was hit with one of several hard lessons, that even if I remove my dependency on corps like Google, I may not want to sacrifice services who themselves depend on it. For example, I use Home Assistant. I value several (external) community made integrations and therefore use HACS. Well, HACS is a frontend for all these extras, which are exclusively hosted on Github. So I ‘can’t’ delete my Git account, rather keep it around for API access.

  I have some other services like Shopify, who I don’t really trust but who are frequently the only adopted sale point for many merchants, who themselves are ethically sound or, subjectively, the ‘best’ source. Who better to host a throwaway email account for services I reluctantly connect with than Google, aha.

  What I’m saying is, I’m finding total deGoogling a challenge, and I wish you the best of luck. At least there’s alternatives to the Play Store; Aurora, F-droid, and ApkMirror||ApkPure

  Yeah boii, I wanted to use someone’s concoction of Qwen3.5 and Claude, but it wasn’t compatible with Ollama for some reason. Link

  Oh yeah, I too am not happy about the tech world calling this creation AI when it doesn’t mimic thinking for itself – it’s still just working on strict parameters under variable parameters, it’s just code, and as such performs pretty much every task poorly compared to humans*. ‘AI’ was supposed to be reserved for what I suppose is now AGI.

  *Unless you pour massive money, resources, energy and labour into making a model that’s still as bad, but much faster

  Friendly reminder that OpenAI is not open source - despite its name it’s simply another pos run by our esteemed techbros Altman and Musk

  The victim of this overreach was a piece of shit and a chronic bad troll by the sounds of it. Even though this was likely special treatment because they messaged the Director of the FBI’s girlfriend, it’s hard to be anti corpo-state surveillance when assholes like that get picked off so easily. But we here all know that it starts with the scum and power always gets misused.
