It's definitely possible. It's possible with a custom Android ROM.

There are are also a few phones in existence now that do basically what you request: https://www.thelightphone.com/lightiii

I'll never say no to a bigger battery, but I have been very impressed with the lifespan of the current one. Since I got mine about a year and a half ago, I set it to stop charging at 80% and I can't recall a single time I've ever had a battery crisis.

I was really worried when it seemed like the judge was going to do anything he could to prevent the victims from getting what they wanted

I'm tempted to just let you continue living on in ignorant bliss, but here is the scene.

And here I thought this scene was silly.

For those not in the know:

Swartz's involvement in Reddit is debated. He is considered the co-founder of Reddit by Y Combinator owner Paul Graham as a result of the merger of Swartz's project Infogami and Reddit. With the merger of Infogami and Reddit, Swartz became a co-owner and director of parent company Not A Bug, Inc., along with Reddit cofounders Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian. Ohanian considers Swartz a co-owner of Reddit.

It sounded like a stretch to me at first, but if you consider that the very concept of intelligence as something quantifiable and measurable (like IQ) implies a linear scale where some (guess which ones) people are simply better.

The funding behind AI comes out of a belief that it can be a tool to control and influence the population. It makes sense that it's origins would be in something similar.

This is total alarmist misinformation. The "evidence of terrorism" was not "using Signal" or "carrying a first aid kit", it was taking part in an armed assault on an immigration facility where a dozen people set off fireworks and shot a police officer with an AR-15.

The prosecution used the presence of the first aid kit they carried during their armed assault, along with actual messages (not metadata) from a Signal chat to make the case that the attackers planned on using violence.

There are a lot of problems with this case, IMO the most dangerous part here is that adds legitimacy the (false) idea that "antifa" is an organization that exists. Something the Trump administration has been struggling to prove. This X post takes small details out of context.

  1. Don't trust anything ever posted to X. Especially something that discourages the use of private messaging apps.

  2. I highly recommend everyone report this this post to your admins and strongly recommend all instance admins ban/warn accounts like OP. If we want the fediverse to catch on it needs to be more factual, not knee jer.

Someone once said to me "If a creative project is of high quality, the longer you look at it the more details you'll notice. If it's bad, the longer you look at it, the more detail you notice is missing."

And I think that about sums it up. AI slop is programmed to be eye catching but can't produce much detail beyond that.

The headline is misquoting him, the full quote is:

“Well, because we all agree that it’s a tragedy having the school hit, and we all agree now for an investigation,” Fetterman said. “What I don’t agree with the rest of my colleagues in the House is that it’s a war of choice, or it’s dumb, or all the things my colleagues have described, you know, this operation. I think it’s a good thing, and I support that.”

Still glaringly stupid, but the headline makes it seem like he's in denial it happened. He didn't say the words ~~"leftist" or~~ "craze"

Edited for accuracy!
