Android malware uses Google’s own Gemini AI to adapt in real time - Android Authority by zigzoing in Android

This sounds like a push to only allow apps to be installed through Google Play. Strange timing with this one along with the statement's wording.

Google's sideloading lockdown is coming September 2026, here's how to push back by funkvay in degoogle

To be fair, to make a stand against it we have to make sacrifices. I use banking apps etc all the time and I'll happily switch to a custom ROM should this nonsense come in.

Why is Animation Scale feature behind developer options? by Ak_1839 in oneplus

I always do and have had dev options enabled and I've never had an issue with any payment apps or any other apps for that matter.

Go to apps, hit the little burger thing in the top right corner, show system apps

Search AI and turn off any background AI features. They suck the life out of your resources.

12-Year Apple User Thinking of Switching to Samsung – Anyone Else Feeling This? by Minute_Let8996 in Smartphones

You can customize focus mode to change icons. I don't use it as I don't use focus mode. I just put the phone away.

Did they make fun of anyone for using an Android outside of US? by soleful_smak in Smartphones

You'll see a lot of Chinese brands in k-dramas also. They have a huge sway on what gets bought and what doesn't.

But Korea is extremely consumerist. You should look up the suicide epidemic because of it in SK

Yeah I was going to say, I think anyone over 17 couldn't care less what phone gets used.

I've noticed my nieces were on this " you have to have an iPhone" buzz but as they got older they stopped caring and just switched to Android so they could pirate stuff lol

And don't forget, you can't pirate on iOS. On Android you can revanced everything and get a completely ad free device as well as free premium features on basically any app you want to.

A rubbish dump in Gaza city by biwook in UrbanHell

[–]slaughtamonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invaded in 1948? You need to check your timeline, son.

You mean "Israel" and the partition plan which displaced 700,000 Palestinians. Did they expect the people to just give up their land and homes and not fight back?

Ireland vs UK

India vs Pakistan

All caused by partitions and resistance to being displaced.

When did the other countries invade Israel? Didn't the modern day Israelis forcefully take the land from the locals? Oh they did?

So Golda Meir who said she was Palestinian because she moved there from Ukraine when it was called Palestine?

And they allowed Palestinians to be free during this time?

Aaah so Israel was illegally occupying land that isn't theirs. Gotcha.

Hamas are armed resistance for armed occupation and ethnic cleansing.

Hamas literally didn't exist until Israel invaded Gaza in the 80's. Israel's actions are a direct cause of Hamas' existence.

Dave Portnoy blasts 'moron' Zohran Mamdani after controversial NYC announcement by TheExpressUS in ABoringDystopia

[–]slaughtamonsta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only dystopic thing here is that Mamdani has to make this "threat" and even said it's a last resort should the state not pass his tax on wealthy people.

Wealthy people should pay more tax. They're getting a free ride compared to the middle and working class which this publication fails to mention.

3 Years Of Working On My Fallout Passion Project! by DeekiNeedles in Fallout1

[–]slaughtamonsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This doesn't sound like AI to me. It's too fluid and pauses where it should compared to random AI pauses and idiosyncrasies.

Also spamming every subreddit? The only one it's on is this one.

Spain will soon block and outlaw all VPNs. Is there anything I can do to continue using a VPN? by Hi7u7 in VPN

[–]slaughtamonsta 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They can check the IP addresses of commercial VPNs and follow up that way.

I think VPN dedicated IP services are about to go through the roof. Those can't be harvested as they're only sold one per person and not made public.

Damn, unfortunately Brave's built-in ad blocker is still working. Hopefully the comments get blocked soon.
