Would be amazing if this was used to root so-far unrootable android devices. Any suggestions.

Sadly nothing will change.

- Pretty sure a large number of politicians are using claude, chatGPT etc.

- Majority of researchers in EU are dependent of all of US SV companies. There are nothing equivalent. EVen if there is mistral or other open source llms - every damn Uni/company is uploading everything to claude or open AI or gemini.

- Majority see these but just move on

- 99% of EU politicians either dont care or show apathy or worse live in a moat

- Ideally EU could have forced iphone, Google to openup. They did not.

- Same with taxation. Ireland fights EU to give tax breaks

- Its f*king broken system

- people complain but have no choice

- tolerance is too high

- Every sysadmin is quietly annoyed but knows it gives then $$$.

- Companies are never going to change anytime.

The locals value silence. It is not easy to put rails or roads. until recently people used to protest the noise of windmills (thats changing now).

Despite lots of controversy I still either buy Chromebook or install chromeosFlex (without playstore) for some of my relatives. Just works.

ublock origin lite is OK for these folks that need laptop only for the rare situation to fillup some PDF, airline tickets or printout.

For love or hate, people already have Google account. One password to remember. And google syncs everything incl. password, even payments. So no more brain fatigue.

Linux?

I can't find it in the downloads.

ARM based devices don't have boot anything you want like x86 platform - in practice.

You wrote this remember

more technical oriented people.

technical people are the ones that have built AI farms, stuffing AI on normies throat.

files is cloud-based

was long gone. Seems you are assuming like Mac iCloud or iOS. There is plenty of local storage if you want to do that.

Macs (because their hardware is great on laptops).

In other news, many other people don't have money but spend on overpriced macs (excl. neo) - so they buy cheap and cheerful - just works Chromebooks - for basic stuff. Normies also not need 3 x 8K monitors.

And a laptop is something very personal to me. I don't want to be depressed every time i

Normal people wont use AI features. How many windows users are using copilot etc? many have accustomed to ignore - popup from AV or jumping triggers and just do to their basic stuff in computers.

It is just here in hn - everyday some blogpost - I used AI to completely automate this or that. this model is 1.27 times better that yesterdays model.

when in fact they are just FOSS solutions we have had for a while. Heck, even the verification/testing isn't unique to ChromeOS.

You answered it yourself (last paragraph). The main point is everything is in FOSS but not packaged like chromeos.

I strongly want bluefin/silverblue/bazzite etc to succeed but even installation is PITA. UI is not really that polished. Whether or not great one like proper integration (a.k.a like Apple) like passkey in Google Chrome/Android etc.

- Installer of bluefin etc takes super long - issue with btrfs - no idea. Dev says upstream issue - not us. - flatpak is still pain for normies - we wanted to deploy it to a large compter pool - ecosystem is controlled by Google. So fewer failures with hardware.

- And polish (like you say). Why can't <distro> make it so that uefi etc is hidden?

- Normies expect sleep to work. This is still not perfect with distro (not their fault).

Many including me - want OS to be like an appliance. Just works.

You can only dream. Even if they do it - there are billion devices that will hope google will build a new one.

And majority of the world like it.

If you want to share room with RMS and hope for GNU Hurd - do it.

It is never for people like you. They try a lot. Something works and many not.

Some people like ikea - try to build. Others want just works items. Why not...

My comment was neither to say stupid or so.

Maybe you are focusing on small statistic of older people from white-collar jobs. Most people in > 70s were primarily in jobs that never needed IT. Yes, they have seen computers , faxes, scanners but not sit in front of computers 9-5. Remember HN needs to remember plumbers, bricklayers, nurses, etc

Not everyone is from Gates type families

Exactly! Esp if you just move away "one tile" from tech/IT or business-power-users, most people are more or less clueless what they are doing/have to do with a computer.

I don't think so. A majority don't want to. But they are forced by geeks/nerds. Geeks/nerds often show off especially in family/friends parties with older/common folk - telling - I can do this/that. Then average CEO or parent is forced to get a smartphone.

Next the geek/nerd - has no time to maintain the computer/laptop of the parent. Or loses patience explaining updates/double-click/avoid scammer installing software. Then - boom - geek son/daughter - if smart gets a decent pixel/iphone - otherwise gets a shitty Android device - installs everything there. Moves on.

And finally remember it is the young same geek/nerd that will eventually do programming for FAANG/palantir etc. which forces people to install apps, degrade privacy, worsen webapp/websites - all for money.

But nothing wrong about that. Some decisions are to made in a hunch. Even a therapist doesn't suggest to divorce or not. Victims are often not in a state to decide. They need support (as myself).

Humans often don't help. They often suggest - everyone goes through pain. It is part of life blah blah.

i’ve had venture partners clearly rely on AI (robotic email responses and even SMS) and that warped their perception and made it harder to connect. It signals laziness and a lack of emotional intelligence

This is different. You are also able to detect it. You can question it. You can have a non emotional reaction/action to it.

In my circle, there have never ever been real people (incl lifelong friends/siblings) that suggest divorce even in physical abuse. Reason: they don't want to get in the middle - both for economic reasons like giving the victim money/space etc.

A third party anonymous can assess it without that.

I would say the primary reason that windows still is acceptable is familiarity and games. Nothing else.

Non tech people don't care about control panel etc. they just go through the pain of entering the WiFi password. Done.

- gamers. Double click install - go on. I know very few gamers that have moved to Linux.

And corporate. Most normies that I know DON'T have own computers. Everything can be done via smartphone these days.

Years ago is different to now. Many places in Russia or China, Dubai etc is very livable. Even lots of people are going about their lives normally in Dubai - these days.

China is definitely not so shit like portrayed by western media. At the same time London is also not run by Islamic Extremists as portrayed by perhaps the top media station in USA.

Sad part is that probably the poor (everywhere) are the on

totally true.

OAuth client ID (and doesn't have its own), and then the takes the token Google returns to instead use with OpenClaw.

Still surprised.

Client ID ok.

But openclaw needs the secret also?

Does it also mean Antigravity did not restrict to specific applications?

This doesn't help. Your contact number is shared by 50 parents' phone..are you sure of their security measures.

Even if I keep everything safe many govts are using Microsoft cloudfor day2day operations. Recently my employer lost tons of data. Every CV you send to a company or recruitment is kept often unencrypted. Every other country is fingerprinting/face ID upon arrival. Are you sure about their security?

Things that I have dumped into my email are far less consequential compared to those.

The game is lost. Very few people can have privacy.

not saying India's perfect. Far from it

The is the reason it will never change.

Talking in double negative.

Citizens are so shameful to admit issues.

In most of the West, that I know of, people admit to issues. Brazenly say, yes , German train system is under performing, no investment in the last 10 years from both parties. Then there is chance for change. It is happening.

Ego issues need to cleared away.

Mic drop

Both may benefit. Some will lose. If benefits overweigh losses then ok.

Well Rapido bike means Auto-wallas are angry. That is reality.

The highest tariffs are holding India back. A decent original nike shoe is about €50 here but why it is Rs5000 there (with lower Purchasing power). Local businesses have too long bribed Indian politicians. Recently I replaced the gate of my house here in EU. It was 20 years old. No rust despite old. I remember the steel supplied by our companies is crap - we repaired our gate every few years. Or it was not properly painted.

Costs of computer etc are too high for any startup etc. and with our talent more cheaper imports from china would be great to build a local giant.

On the other hand our people do

- exploit Digital Ocean T-shirt give away to create stupid pull requests and burden maintainers in GitHub open source project

- curl dev stopped bug bounty due to many sending AI reports

- clone AOSP and IIT Chennai said it have created a independent OS.

Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmai founder) recently said we have become users not creators.

Even Ambani with all his money can't do a good tech company.

I really think we (as OCI/NRI) should move on from using Jallianwala or whatever. This doesn't help. Don't use BS to justify.

Every damn guy that get visa refused uses this and in a way insults those sacrifices.

Come to reality. Present or at least last 10 years.

Who did what? You need to fix your own country. Even if British didn't invade - the princely states of India were feuding. Fighting. If it was not one country then TN and Karnataka would have gone to war.

UK were open minded to elect a non- white as PM in UK. Though he was very bad for for UK.

Do some creative things instead of using colonial things. Nobody cares. If some from that family hate UK or west then why come and live a happy life here (being UK/EU citizens). As an OCI holder, I get better treatment at immigration than I was an Indian citizen.

While lots of things exist like ISRO etc there is still abject poverty, pollution, health care issues.

Yes, India sends talents. Myself living about 10 years here.

But note. TCS etc employees gain more coming here than they contribute. Yes, skill shortage etc. at the end while using the fantastic TGV here in France - I am benefiting more than contribute despite working in a high tech scientific industry.

Eventually Bihari in TN will say I did so much work in Coimabatore mills but you guys are treating me shit; and for the non-hindi speaking Tamil in Pune they treat like shit.

If all these are better the internal economy will be great. On path to some self sufficiency. No. Instead you come here to insult current EU UK citizens. It is of no use.

The point is even if Sundar Pichai was in India he would not have built a Google.

You can be cautious but at the end people like Bhavish Aggarwal or biju or l&t CEO etc are the ones you get there. They don't give a shit about people. Until then people will try to move here. Fix that.

Otherwise people will come here to work. Just 9-5. No sat/sunday work. No fking Manager would call you after office hours.

(Again, there will be YouTube videos of NRI telling - it is better life in India than USA/EU. Yes, true. If you are 10%top earner in India or at the

Is your first sentence sarcasm or you don't see news?

This BS should stop (even if you vote for AfD or National front)

It is so difficult we still to get a working visa into Western EU. The way this is done is by total bureaucratic nature of Ausländerbehörde.

When he was CTO from Netflix, Gaurav Agarwal Could not get a visa to relocate to Germany. (No more with Netflix)

So even of one has > €80K salary and working in Apple or MS hq in Munich it is pain in the arse.

On the other hand this is encouraging people to apply and get passports. I for one would have never naturalised as German if the residence permit was quick and easy.

In summary, there are encouraging people to migrate.

Did you mean

... live tracking by ICE

Many businesses use office365 or Google.

They then have all your email. Fingerprint.

Big tech,.NSA, 5 eyes won the game. No chance unless something truly citizen oriented happens in most countries.

Wondering... why this happens only in Google (Alphabet)? Don't the employees have the duty to accept employment contracts? Why and how MS or Oracle or Amazon never have these problems?

thread with genuine complaints will be drowned in responses from native Germans who foolishly believe that Germany is a great country to live in because t

This is disrespect.

Complaining the system is OK but not attacking people.

Assume some one just says "All native Indian men are involved in harassing women/girls (incl. r-a-p.e)"

Perhaps, perhaps not. I'll get an EU passport next year. Oops scratch that the wait for naturalization is now upto two years. So I'll get an EU passport in 3 years, and then the right to be able to move to any of 27 countries at my discretion will more than make up for this time and energy I've spent here.

Hope, you will come back and report here and guide Indians/expats... If it is better/worse elsewhere.

(As some Indian living in EU for about 30 years - it won't be better. What you are expecting is Ambani level treatment. Then become one )

And this is where the fallacy is. Indian salaries are currently actually higher than German ones for my role. And that's without even accounting for PPP.

I often meet people like this in many Indian restaurants - everyone brags but even after 20 years they never go out of Germany.

If this level of greatness is true then why are you here? I can even tell you that even at this level of richness you won't

- get the clean/non-flickering electricity in India that one gets in Germany

- Even Abdulkalam got stuck in traffic.
