A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Had to install play store a couple days ago to get a banking app. If I spent 5 more mins doing that, I would have gotten a seizure from the amount of ads and garbage on that. It feels almost illegal and surprising how many people seem perfectly fine with that.
Aurora Store can be used in place of the Play Store.
No ads or other shit. You just download and install your apps and move on with your day.
Here's hoping the sideloading ban doesn't kill Aurora like it will likely due to F-Droid.
