I wonder how many just blindly believe the bots

To be fair, the bots are being explicitly marketed as believable. The customers are being lied to. I personally try to have sympathy for them and direct my frustration at the legislators not enforcing false advertising laws.

This quote from Ford's CEO:

"It's going to be a vibrant industry, but it's going to be smaller, way smaller than we thought," Ford chief executive Jim Farley said at an event on Tuesday.

Combined with the following quote he recently said:

Speaking on the Everything Electric Show podcast, Farley praised the [Xiaomi] electric sedan. "I don't like talking about the competition so much, but I drive a Xiaomi," he said. "We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I've been driving it for six months now, and I don't want to give it up."

Really feels like Kodak in the 90's kinda-sorta investing in digital but not willing to fully transform a majority of business.

And it's not even lying, lying requires an understanding of the truth which they don't have. LLMs string together bullshit that happens to sound reasonable at first glance.

cool like what

Thanks, I also like offtiktok.com (replace tiktok in the URL with offtiktok)

I looked into Aurora after seeing it recommended here but it is basically the same as Kinoite. I tried both and couldn't tell the difference so I stuck with the more "official" one from Fedora

Maybe it would be more interesting for a reply or two, but it would have quickly fallen right into the same spiral.

And .ml

OK this is cool

Tell people to just talk to their therapists instead. That’s much more productive.

I'm just going to say it: 50% of foss projects wouldn't exist if their devs could afford therapy

OK

It’s not the OS that need to be supported it’s the phone who’s manufacturer isn’t contractually bound by Google to implement developer verification for blocking installation, otherwise they lose access to Google’s proprietary suite including Play Store.
