8·2 months agoWell, it’s expensive technology to develop, and there’s no other business model behind it than surveillance. So I think it’s fair to expect the surveillance part of it to be difficult to neutralise.
A Fairphone with /e/OS would do.
I don’t currently run /e/OS on mine - for now I’ve just disabled the Google app instead. But it’s a solid option, and last time I used it my banking apps and everything worked with no problem.
You could check out PieFed, a Lemmy/Kbin alternative that allows you to filter your timeline like this by default. It’s very much in development, but it has some nice features already! :)
2·10 months agoI’m super happy with my Fairphone 3 as well (I upgraded the camera to 3+), but the newer models seem to have made major improvements indeed.
Still, for anyone who doesn’t need anything too fancy but who insist on having a headphone jack, a used Fairphone 3 is a good option. Buy a new battery for it and it’ll be good as new. :)
5·10 months agoOne option might be to use Mycroft, the FOSS speech assistant. If I understand correctly you’d have to install support for playing local music - I found one such plugin, but it hasn’t been updated in a few years so who knows if it’ll work.
If anything the George Carlin-imitating AI serves to highlight that the brilliance of Carlin was in his thinking, not in his shtick of delivering cynical jokes in his signature fashion. The AI captures the cynicism and the voice and at least in part the delivery, yet it just left me bored. Carlin on the other hand I can listen to again and again.
I guess it’s like training a moral philosophy bot. Sure, you could train an AI on everything Immanuel Kant has ever written and it would be capable of delivering an endless series of platitudes that sound like something Kant could have written, but it’s not going to become a Kantian philosopher, and you’ll be better off just reading Kant.
Sure it can, you just need to buy yourself a few Supreme Court Justices. They go cheap these days!
