Moto phones bought direct have no unremovable crapware.

Disable, yes. Uninstall, no. If it's pre-installed it's part of the system image, which is mounted read-only and protected with fs-crypt. Actually modifying that would require root access to remount it rw and to disable fs-crypt.

That would also, of course, completely destroy the Android security architecture, leaving you wide open to all sorts of attacks. If you want to do that, get an Android device that has an unlockable bootloader (e.g. Google Pixel), unlock it, then do whatever you like. And be sure not to hire any evil maids.

I'd recommend ML-KEM and ML-DSA instead.

I also use the Claude Code extension with VS Code. The inline diffs it provides are quite clumsy compared to Cursor's.

The integration is a little better in Cursor; the main difference being the in-line edit diffs. But I bounce back and forth between Claude Code and cursor, so I end up just using the git diff view to look at changes about 80% of the time, so it's not much better.

Honestly, my reason for using it is that I have separate Claude and Cursor token budgets -- though I set Cursor to use Claude so I'm using the same model both ways.

If it's a good idea then it isn't. You really don't want to be instituting a change like this when you find out you need to.

On the other hand there's no clear path to usefulness for quantum computers whatsoever

These won't prove anything because they're ugly.

That's what we call a confounding factor

They don't know shit, some fraud convinced some policy maker that their snake oil was real

Not as much as it boggles the mind how people can still think Musk is a genius. Literally all of his wealth is based on their beliefs making them make stupid decisions which enrich him.

Tell me something everyone but maggots doesn't already know.

SpaceX chose to use LEO in order to address latency. The drag is just a bonus. But if they used a higher orbit, then the satellites would be further apart from one another. The risk of Kessler syndrome would be higher if a collision occurred, but there would also be less collision risk.

Yeah, we never discovered this problem, because there are no eyeballs at all.

If you can't learn to think, at least learn to read.

Anything is possible, but I have been pretty careful not to join anyone else's lists. I do publish a couple... but they are blocklists.

This is why Firefox is so shit now: Denialism.

If your government breaking into your house and applying hardware-level attacks to scrape your secrets out of the RAM of your running computer is seriously part of your threat model, it's almost certainly very, very far from your biggest concern.

Also, you should probably consider turning your computer off.
