"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

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.
That's what I always do but some banking apps refuses to run if it is not from play store.
Here's hoping the sideloading ban doesn't kill Aurora like it will likely due to F-Droid.
Just wish it had 100% uptime. Every once in a while downloads will start failing for no good reason.
