Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party apps
  • Senior security writer uses adb shell command he doesn't understand to do something to a package he doesn't know is or isn't on his phone.

    Uh. OK.

    Anyway.

    I have 2 devices one on android 13 and one on grapheneos. Neither has Gemini.

    To check for Gemini:

    adb shell pm list packages bard
    

    and since I don't know if it's a regular apk or not:

    adb shell pm list packages --apex-only bard
    

    To be super sure, I also checked using shell commands device_config list and getprop, and grep for strings including: gemini, bard, smart, ai, model, and personal(ize/ation)

    eg adb shell device_config list | grep --color -i smart

  • Lab-grown sperm and eggs just a few years away, scientists say
  • Welcome to the brave new world order

    And, in effect, eighty-three almost noseless black brachycephalic Deltas were cold-pressing. The fifty-six four-spindle chucking and turning machines were being manipulated by fifty-six aquiline and ginger Gammas. One hundred and seven heat-conditioned Epsilon Senegalese were working in the foundry. Thirty-three Delta females, long-headed, sandy, with narrow pelvises, and all within 20 millimetres of 1 metre 69 centimetres tall, were cutting screws. In the assembling room, the dynamos were being put together by two sets of Gamma-Plus dwarfs. The two low work-tables faced one another; between them crawled the conveyor with its load of separate parts; forty-seven blonde heads were confronted by forty-seven brown ones. Forty-seven snubs by forty-seven hooks; forty-seven receding by forty-seven prognathous chins. The completed mechanisms were inspected by eighteen identical curly auburn girls in Gamma green, packed in crates by thirty-four short-legged, left-handed male Delta-Minuses, and loaded into waiting trucks and lorries by sixty-three blue-eyed, flaxen and freckled Epsilon Semi-Morons.

  • Is it possible to prevent an app from opening another app automatically when clicking on links?
  • The simplest and most generic solution is to go into the settings app and to your apps settings.

    Select the app you want to prevent from opening.

    Towards the bottom you should see something like "open.by default."

    Not sure exactly which version of android changed the options, but if you tap that it will either give the newer option of °in the app °in the browser

    In the browser should keep the app from opening.

    I find the new language is much less clear on what these do vs :

    The older default links settings was to not allow app to open. Ask. Or allow.

    You might also find a setting in the browser itself along similar lines of 'allow links to open out of browser' , 'keep links in browser','open link in app' etc.

    Also, if you like, you can also allow other preferred apps to open those links Eg:

    And for more info :

  • See any parallel?
  • Yet.

    Oh, but it's always yet.

    And the line will never come because "oh, it isn't that bad"

    And then the next atrocity comes and it's not that bad yet, and the next and the next and suddenly, taking your last breath, on your knees, face to the wall, you think "this isn't that bad yet"

    Click.

  • Coincidence?

    The mark of the beast.

    What happened to..

    The second Trump "assassin"?

    (The one they stopped outside the golf course)

    You would think news of his legal status, his background and all that would be all over the news, no?

    The last mention I find is sometime in September.

    Why is there little to no mention of them after the incident?

    it was just now I realized how appropriate the CEO shooters' name is.

    Mangione is a playful Italian word that means “big eater” or “glutton“. It is the combination of the verb mangiare (to eat) and the suffix -one which is used to describe things that are big.

    He lived up to his name and ate the rich.

    www.seattletimes.com Seattle road sign references CEO shooting: 'Many more to go'

    The sign was being used by a construction/development company, 601 Holdings LLC. The developer blamed the company they'd rented the sign from.

    Seattle road sign references CEO shooting: 'Many more to go'

    An electronic traffic message board — normally the forum for messages like “right lane closed ahead” — had been reprogrammed with an ominous message.

    “One less CEO,” the sign, at the corner of southbound Aurora and Dexter Way, said, “many more to go.”

    Silverlocks and the Three Bears

    After my grandfather passed, my grandmother decided to move to an apartment and so wanted to downsize. She asked the family to take whatever they wanted.

    I went for the old and the odd. Some books are over 200 years old.

    This one is maybe 100 and odd.

    NFL Scorigami
    nflscorigami.com Scorigami

    Scorigami is a concept thought up by Jon Bois. It is the art of building final scores that have never happened before in NFL history. Due to the unique nature of how points are scored in (American) Football, where it is impossible to score 1 point on its own, as well as the rarity of the 2 point saf...

    Found this while trying to figure out if, like 19 in cribbage, there is an impossible score in NFL rules football.

    It shows all possible score combinations and which have happened - or not.

    Technically, a team can score any number (til a team can have a score of 1). But, games cannot have certain scores. A 2-2 game is possible, but has never happened. 1-(1 to 5) is impossible. But 6-1 is.

    As a Lion's fan the hail Mary has been a topic of shame and hatred. That one, as whoever was doing the post game interview said, "nothing but god"

    Lions are number 1 in the NFC as of today. (Is this real life?)

    Sorry for the meandering post but today has been fun for football and Lions fans.

    How do trees know?

    How does a tree (or any plant, really), know to evolve to produce a delicious fruit or a poison berry, a seed inside an impenetrable shell, or invent a type of flying machine, in order to reproduce? (Each of these examples exists in my backyard)

    How do they receive feedback about their evolutionary experiments? How do they know it worked/failed. [10]

    Loyalty should never demand a reward.

    Loyalty should never demand reward. Loyalty itself is the reward. Else it's just prostitution by another name. (This thought inspired by golf)

    update issues

    Jerboa was the first client i tried. I've tried several others. Jerboa is my lemmy app.

    The only thing that bothers me is after an update (this happens using both izzy and fdroid repos) upon relaunch i get "network error". It looks like i'm still logged in but my username is gone from the sidebar. If i try to log in i get json errors popping up in red text into the ui. Not a dialogue window, but within the background graphics.

    I have to manually log out, close app, and login again.

    This issue has been persistent across a number of updates since i started using the app.

    I use a vpn/dns/firewall but have the app excluded/bypassed, except the dns (dnscrypt/doh/tls fallback.) Dns allows everything it should. ?

    Android 13, may security updates.

    Images show dns from store refresh to relaunch after update. Will pull logcat to see if it shows anything.

    thank you.

    Just wanted to say thanks to the host of this instance.

    The mini essay was a great idea. I definitely believe it will keep out at least some level of the riff and the raff. As much as people may dislike the idea of a gatekeeper, I believe it will make and keep the community much more fun, friendly, and useful.

    I feel much more at ease on this service than on Reddit. I don't feel like I'm arguing with bots and trolls. Or dealing with bad actors and agitators. I'm discussing things. Reading the actual articles. And not doom scrolling. The nature of this service seems more organic.

    Again. Thank you for your time and service to this (hopefully) growing community.
