I did not know that about Magic Earth. I’ll have to test that out on my next trip into the city.

I had not considered that. Thanks for the tip.

The GrapheneOS installation process is exceptionally easy to follow. It’s much faster and easier than the old Cyanogenmod days.

That is comforting to hear.

As for whether or not I can flash a custom ROM, if the boot loader is locked, then I’m SOL, right? (hence your original comment)

I wanna run GrapheneOS, so thanks for the heads up.

Based on reviews, the listing in my OP looks like a mixed bag—some reviewers complaining that the boot loader is locked (hence they cannot flash a custom ROM onto it), others complaining that it’s unlocked (hence a security risk)—so if I get this phone, I guess it’s up to chance whether the bootloader is locked or not. 🤞🏻

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Gotcha, and then is the protocol to just sell it back at the end of the trip?

Gotcha, so would you say this comes down to buying from a reputable store (e.g. Best Buy)?

Care to expand on how you’ve shaped your career for this to be an advantage?

Would you care to expand on this? So far, my fediversal journey has revolved around Lemmy, and I’ve recently been thinking I could probably augment this w/ Mastodon, but what do you mean when you say Mastodon is stripped down?

OP did not specify a platform, so let’s hear ‘em.

That WaPo article was one of the top search results - thanks for clarifying. I unplugged from the news after the last election, so now I’m playing catch-up.

Shocker that Trump is a convicted fucking rapist

I’ve been living under a rock - are you referring to Trump’s civil case against E. Jean Carroll or is there a criminal case out there that’s just not showing up on the first page of search results?

Sauce? I tried searching and couldn’t find anything (at least not on the first page of results). Thanks.

On chromecast I’ve been happy with SmartTube, which includes sponsor block and still allows me to log into YT so I get to keep my history.

In Firefox I’ve just discovered an extension called Lib Redirect, which works for YT, Reddit, Twitter, and other sites. Highly recommend.

I use a locally run open source LLM.

How? GPT4All + Llama or something else? I just started dipping my toe in locally run open source LLM.

not fine tuning a LLM to match tone and style counts as either misuse or hobbyist use

You’ve hit the nail on the head with this one. I think the other commenters are right, that a lot of people will misuse the tool, but nonetheless it is an issue with the users, not the tool itself.

Leaked how? No good practice allows any way for a password to “leak”.

Suppose a social media website has a data breach.

What rotating passwords does is ensure people who don’t use a password manager either write their password down more and more frequently, or use a weaker password with some simple changing pattern that doesn’t add anything.

Okay, but suppose I use a password manager like Keepass, then does rotating my passwords not make me any safer in the event a social media website’s data is breached and ends up being sold off on the dark web?

What’s the logic behind this statement? I would’ve thought that if a website’s logins and passwords were somehow leaked, the more often I change my password, the less likely it is for the leaked password to still be usable by bad guys based on the shorter time horizon.

MangoHud is the Linux equivalent of MSI Afterburner. An optional tool called Goverlay is a GUI for configuring MangoHud. To make the overlay actually show up on screen, after you’ve installed MangoHud you need to add mangohud %command% to the game’s launch parameters in Steam. Good luck.

EDIT: Added the correct launch code—thank you, Pelotron.
