I don't say that at all, that's pretty bad faith. My point was that taking regular breaks as they say they do when they forget their glasses is a better solution than just powering through with some glasses that may or may not wor

Fair, but they say: > With the glasses I can work all day, then play video games, watch movies etc without feeling anything. So it's not just working. It's working, then playing video games and watching movies. They also say th

I'll be honest, and a little rude (sorry!). If something is causing some physical pain in your eyes, why wouldn't your solution be to get off the computer and give your eyes a rest?

You probably know this by now, but it doesn't require any Google Services to be installed in GrapheneOS. I did install through Aurora, but you could just get the apk and install it like that.

Odd, because in reality they can do whatever the OSM licence allows. I still find it very odd that people have problems with projects using open source projects as the licence allows.

I run GrapheneOS, and have Magic Earth installed for car navigation. The reason for that is it's search actually works, it displays live traffic info, and they have a simple easy-to-read privacy policy: https://www.magiceart

Aha, must have been a good day! In all my years of underground and trains I don't think I've said more than "Sorry, do you mind if I sit here?".

And even in the "comforting" movie version, it's still different in real life where they start gasping for breath. I at least thought the person was in pain or suffering somehow. (I did ask the Dr. that came to give us the de

Of course we do. However, other people have mentioned people might just be using their phones instead. As an example: https://www.voxi.co.uk/for-now - £10/month unlimited calls, texts, data for 6months - then you go on

Most British people I know in this situation would literally just say, "Sorry!", just loud enough for the person blocking hear you so that they move and reply, "Sorry!". In general I think we don't like to converse

It's not in my opinion though. I have a Gaming PC and a Switch. My gaming PC has a 6900XT and so I expect to be playing every game at 1440p @ 60FPS at a bear minimum - some games come out and surprisingly have trouble with that. The Sw

I'm completely with you, I avoid Google for almost everything except my Pixel phone as I use GrapheneOS and sadly they're the best devices to use.

I find it odd that every time that a language topic comes up it turns into "my language is much harder than your language". It is like some form of patriotism? Genders and verb tenses are hard if you choose to see them as that. Ho

If my phone is at risk of running out, I just take my wall charger, find a nice cafe to sit down in and plug in my charger whilst having some lunch. I've never had anyone complain at me about it, although I'm normally buying food

I'm definitely not a hater of these technologies and I'd actually like to play around with them. I'm more concerned with how these language models seem to be tied to a certain companies' browser and what the implications

In my day job I work with TypeScript and React, and if I'm honest, I'm not worried at all. Why should I be? Automation is all around us, and has been for years. The way I personally see it, is that AI such as ChatGPT is another to

Completely agree with you, and I didn't mean it like that although I see it came across that way. I'm very in favour of these games being highly regulated. I really just meant in the sense of "normal" gamers in general,

Yeah I'm the same. I try not to worry and learn everything, but I try and at least read on new changes just so I'm familiar with them. Then when I see it in the code, I'll know what it does or I'll be like "Oh wait,

Sadly, people play and buy these games as evidenced by the dumpster fire that was Diablo Immortal. I love Diablo, but there was no way in hell (lol) that I'd download that game and even play for free. I feel like these mobile games n
