Don't use LLM generated code in your projects yet! If for no other reason than that the legal case law is NOT ESTABLISHED YET.

Because that's what this truly means.
Also, it doesn't even help the kids.

Another example of why being able to install post market OSes on devices is necessary

I’m currently running a backup server on hardware my dad owned. It’s old enough to vote. And works perfectly with #Debian. I’m hoping to put @postmarketOS on an old Android Z2 I have literally just lying around, to use as a little server to play with.

The constant push for more is a push to separate you from your money. And it’s destroying the world
