Really interesting. Probably country specific. Thanks for checking.

Don’t be scared. Embrace the data. Let it flow through the fiber optic cables and into your RAID array. Dew it!

Can you see a system app called “SIM Toolkit”?

Apparently the app is actually called Sim toolkit and it is built into the Android OS. I didn’t even give it permission to send notifications.

I did not buy from the carrier. It’s a OnePlus 9 Pro.

In all my phones so far, a carrier app like this is automatically installed after I boot the phone for the first time with a sim card. Going all the way back to my first android phone.

8 years or so for me. I miss Ableton and Sibelius. I have Bitwig and Musescore but I still miss them. Musescore is getting better and better (I am planning on moving to lilypond anyway) but Bitwig is too alien for me. It is almost the same bu not really. If it was completely different, it might have been easier to get used to. Also I wish there was a viable open source alternative to Bitwig.

There is a carrier app on my phone that cannot be uninstalled without root. I guess all phones have that, even if you don’t have a contract, which I don’t. I disabled roaming, went to another country, and it started to randomly show pop-ups asking me to turn on roaming and activate the international plan. There is an ok and cancel button, and it can pop up right under my fingers while I am typing something. That is pure evil.

Tired of this AI bullshit creeping into and ruining everything. Unfortunately this is probably just the beginning.

Laos mentioned! 🇱🇦

I am also using open webui. Most LLMs are too verbose for me, so I created a model in open-webui with system prompt “Do not repeat the questions. Avoid giving lists as answers. Do not summarize the answer at the end. If asked a follow-up question, respond with only new information, do not repeat previously stated information.” and named it No Nonsense.

So, what you are saying is that the horse stable is stable now.

Early Windows 7. I was fed up with Windows and switched to hackintosh. 6 years ago I switched to Linux only.

Turkish military uses Pardus, a Turkish Linux distro, but I’m not sure to what extent.

That is why Microsoft spent a total of gazillion dollars to have its OS pre-installed on all PCs. We need more PCs with Linux pre-installed. This should be an antitrust issue but I am not knowledgeable enough to say how.

Before Gaben, there was only vapour. He invented, nay, created steam.

Stop trying to make fetch happen!

open standards and interoperability should be the law.

not Linux but some open-source software with premium features that have menu items with diamond icons or something like that pointing to those features. you cannot hide the menu items and it keeps sending you notifications to subscribe to an annual license.

that’s what I was trying to say.

touch file && chmod +x file is good but this here is the one true command for the purpose.
