Will check it out! 🍻

Crazy to see laser eyes on Ben and a very trad-fi institution. Bullish!

Its pretty decent. Still has a few missing features but it's solid. What'd you think?

As a non-programmer, I prefer OpenBoard for its autocorrect features. It's a solid keyboard, although there's always room for improvement - it also seems to be out of active development.

Two apps I'm still looking for something better:

A launcher. I used to love Nova Launcher and would love a FOSS alternative.

SMS App. I've been using QKSMS, which is decent, but I'd love a more feature-rich alternative.

If you're logged into your Google account when watching Youtube, it doesn't matter what browser you use - the activity would still register with Google. Keep in mind the tradeoff is that FreeTube won't have your subscriptions and watching history - but that's the idea - you're breaking the link between your identity and what you're watching.

And you can get around this by exporting your subscriptions from Youtube and importing them into Freetube:

For Android https://newpipe.net/ is awesome. Open source, turn off screen listen to YouTube no adds

Completely agree. I've been using that one too.

I can try!

A lot of us Nostr and Bitcoin users are privacy-focused and hesitant to give data to big tech companies like Google. Youtube of course tracks everything that you watch and do on their site. If you don't want Google to know everything you're watching, there are some ways to help. These apps are also open-source, meaning there's no corporation behind them collecting your data.

FreeTube is a desktop app (and NewPipe is a mobile counterpart) that will allow you to watch videos from Youtube without directly being on their website and logged in, thus giving you a degree of privacy. Google doesn't directly know it's you because you're not logged in.

There are other ways to further increase your privacy from Google such as using a proxy and a VPN, but any incremental privacy increase is good - so take it one step at a time and consider using those apps.

Every time I peek at twitter I'm reminded of how refreshing nostr is. It truly is a great experience without engagement algos.

Ahh, cool. Umbrel's got some great stuff. I switched to Start9 for the ethos but it's far more restrictive and less options like that.

GM!

#GrapheneOS version 2024011300 is out! With an improved autoreboot implementation and reduced autoreboot timer and the addition of Night Mode support in the Camera app for Pixel 6 and above!

Full changes:

- replace auto-reboot implementation with a new more hardened implementation based on a timer in the init process which also avoids rebooting when the device hasn't been unlocked since boot

reduce default auto-reboot timer from 72 hours to 18 hours

- add log viewer available at Settings > System > View logs to avoid needing developer options for making useful bug reports and inspecting the device for issues

- reimplement our user-facing crash reporting infrastructure with our new log viewer app

- Settings: add links to log viewer in app info and system settings

- show report button in sandboxed Google Play crash report UI

- adevtool: integrate support for Pixel Camera Services (currently provides Night mode for GrapheneOS Camera and other apps on Pixel 6 and later)

- adevtool: improve and clean up infrastructure for device support

- adevtool: drop devices not supported with Android 14

- adevtool: remove unused default permissions configuration

- Contact Scopes: add handling of malformed contact data subtype names to avoid crash

show notification after hardened_malloc detects memory corruption via a direct check (does not cover memory corruption detected via memory protected address space)

- kernel: disable sysrq by default rather than waiting for init to disable it

- kernel: disable unused sysrq serial support

- kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Generic 5.10): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 5.10.206

- kernel (Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Generic 5.15): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 5.15.145

- kernel (Generic 6.1): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 6.1.69

- GmsCompatConfig: update to version 91

- Vanadium: update to version 120.0.6099.210.0

- System Updater: use sentence case for notification channel names

What's the purpose of the auto-reboot feature? Is there a blog post about it? Thanks for all you do!

Jeff, last month you said you believe MSTR was overbought. You could see selling off occurring recently and today. In your opinion, and of course not financial advice, at what share price would you consider to be fair for MSTR taking into account each share representing .01132 bitcoin. How do you calculate the value of the companies intellectual property etc. in addition to the bitcoin share?

I was hoping you'd get an answer, but I added more shares today below 500 and added another buy order around 486. Feels like I'm catching a falling knife right now.

Merry Christmas, 'zombie.' Seeya next year at a meetup!

When will ChatGPT or other LLMs be integrated into video games?

Imagine game creators seeding NPCs with a personality and in-game information and you, the player, get to converse with them in a realistic chat to obtain the info.

Now, layer in an AI model of an actor's voice synthesized for you and suddenly NPCs feel a lot less like cardboard.

Can modern gaming rigs even handle that?
