I would argue that your “enhanced” sentence is even MORE typical of AI. The first sounds like the style of a standard news article with a little corporate-speak, while the second is straight up head-of-marketing internal memo style.
Regardless, I agree that AI-detection can’t really be automated or codified. But I don’t think it matters. Bad writing is bad writing.

Yep, a Tailscale funnel URL is publicly accessible to anyone who knows it. And while it doesn’t expose your machine’s IP, Jellyfin is exposed publicly. Only the port you configure is reachable, but that doesn’t make it secure in itself - you definitely need more security. I don’t have anything critical on my server so I’m not overly concerned but I still use CSF to block traffic from most every other country and limit abuse.

Nobody here with a tailscale funnel?? It’s such a simple way to get https access from anywhere without being on the tailnet.

Packs a punch vs crunchy but bland?? Are the celebrities the croutons? And is this a common regional saying somewhere? I kind of like it

I in fact DID click the links and change the filters on the tool to test the europe sites. Try it yourself next time.

And sorry but no, the Guardian, The Verge, and AP news, etc do not provide the same products. I simply choose to accept the reality we live in and deal with it.

From Europe they’re actually better than the other news sites you list here. Either way, I’m using ad-blocking, DNS filtering, and I do general browsing like this in a separate browser that wipes everything on exit sooo 🤷 saves you from worrying about this stuff or even thinking about it much.

Graphene likes to push the use of user profiles (just called “users” in the OS) but I find that to be a trash experience myself. Instead, you can enable work/personal profiles right within the single user account and keep sandboxed Google Play and the apps requiring it all within the work profile. You can restrict location and other permissions for Google and don’t even need to log it in for it to work. You just need the Island or Insular app to enable profiles.

The Google camera app works perfectly for great photos with the pixel hardware and last I checked it doesn’t even require network access or Goodie Play - except it won’t embed GPS in photos without Google.

As you can probably guess, the amount of data Google gets will really depend on your setup! I like to use NextDNS to further filter connections. (Pihole might be better but it’s more effort.)

Regarding seedvault, you can have it save to a webdav location, Nextcloud, or directly on the phone. If saving on the phone you could just have SyncThing or something similar auto sync the file to another device.

Agreed! Knowing what I was getting myself into was the only reason I even bought my MacBook. One thing not mentioned in that write-up is that if you increase your swap file size to offset the limited RAM it’s surprisingly quick still, I assume due to a fast nvme drive. For my use case it’s perfect. I’m even able to run some LLMs using Ollama that don’t otherwise work with 8gb of memory.

For Windows machines I’ve found the Linux experience has vastly improved over the years. It seems that most mass-market hardware is functional right out of the box.

I think hibernate is a missing function - I’ve never tried it though. Here’s a good write-up on the pros/cons and potential issue depending on your use case :

Maybe not what you’re looking for, but I use Asahi Linux on an old M1 MacBook Air and it’s quite nice. I bought it used for $480 last year.

They constantly force you to update or the app won’t work. I was already having issues with Revolut on GrapheneOS so I just closed my account and switched to Wise. The Revolut app was a bloated mess anyway.
