Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Fuck the ai os wave. Do not force that shit into my life. I'm fine with using ai, but ai is not gonna stare over my shoulder. I decide when I use it. Never going back from Linux. Still stuck with a samsung phone but we'll see
I switched to GrapheneOS with zero regrets. Mainly because Google is deeply embeded in the Android ecosystem. There was no way i was going to add Samdung AI on top of that mess.
Question, do your banking apps etc run ok in the sandbox?
I wanted grapheneOS but it is not compatible with my current cell phone.
Same
I have a Samsung and it doesnt have ai features (except for google but i can opt out of it)
Even if Microsoft, Apple, et al, drop the 'inescapable integrated AI assistant' bullshit in their OS' it's almost a guarantee that they will forever reside in some hidden background service quietly sending off reports. The temptation for them is too great, and the legal consequences are nil.
you are right.... Linux for the win!
