  • Yes, let’s blame the victim and not the data hording mega corps that advertise their crap to collect more data, make big promises, hide the better options, and actively undermine open source in every way they can.

    I’m pretty sure the average person hears “open source” and think “oh that’s insecure software made by hackers, I need to only use software from trusted sources”. Using only trusted software is still a good idea, but unfortunately the trusted sources of 2002 have betrayed us.




  • I don’t remember if I did my phone on Linux or windows, but depending on your Linux install you may or not have drivers pre installed. That’s more of a result of Linux installing only what you need, vs windows installing everything someone might need.

    As for wifi/updating, I don’t see it as a necessary step on a new phone. However, for a new phone it may be worth loading the stock OS, and running with it for a day or 2 just to make sure everything (WiFi, battery life, cell, BT, etc) actually works before you go crazy troubleshooting a problem that was there out of the box.

    Once you do get Graphene installed, you’ll then want to check for any updates.

    While having Finger print on/off is everyone’s personal choice, it is pretty easy to lock down the phone. You can spam the wrong finger a few times and it will force the pin requirement or if you press and hold the power button a lockdown button appears, either way it only takes a few seconds.

    Despite what the news would lead you to believe, most people aren’t talking to police every day. That being said, if you are going to be in an area with high police presence, than turning off the finger print is 100% recommended.










  • 39 Year old Electrician Dale walks across it without any issue. You see, it’s just like one of his jobs that someone else engineered from a desk without ever seeing that the job is impossible. But, Dale is the man who pulls it off by crossing narrow trusses carrying tools and the new equipment, while his assistant watches from below rethinking his career knowing Dale’s the man he’s going to have to replace in the next 10-15 years.

    You can tell its real art by a few details

    • the tile lines all line up.
    • the statues on the staircase match and are in line.
    • the banner the statues are holding actually look attached and are lined up.
    • the chairs all have the right number of legs.
    • the parrot mascot/ad posters all match between the panels.
    • the text is coherent.
    • the lady’s face and outfit match between panels, even the spiky bottom part of the dress.

    The only questionable thing is the background patron’s feet on the first panel, but maybe the artist just sucks at drawing feet.

    This is an ongoing series is set to mock AI, it is purposefully made to resemble some of the generic over the top blurry filter AI is has become known for.
