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 Samsung AI crap on top of that mess.
Question, do your banking apps etc run ok in the sandbox?
In my case some of my banks will work without the google play services but I have one that requires it. It hasn't been a problem for me so far. The grapheneOS community forum has some good info on which apps are problematic and workarounds. I'm aware of a couple of banks that don't work on GOS due to the OS Attestation.
Thanks, appreciate that. Another thing I always fail to remember is that I can just use the website. I really need to switch
