How do you know she wouldn't have killed herself without having tried Ayahuasca?

It’s funny, this is the sort of harshness and absolute certainty Jen would have come out with. Nothing is certain but my opinion given the outcome is that it definitely did not help.

Psychedelics are extremely strong experience, ayahuasca is supposed to be the strongest. If you have anything broken in your personality, it will come up. Thats why at least initially it should be screened and if OK handled by professionals who can lead, guide or stop the experience if needed.

I've seen lifelong schizophrenia triggered by nothing more than a bit of binge drinking. For some people it takes trauma to trigger bad things, some drugs, some have luck and manage to go through life with such a thing without ever experiencing it. Powerful tool, nothing more, nothing less.

If you shake up a box of poorly packed stemware, you’re going to get some breakage.

Buy the phone you want and connect them to a network. Then adb connect remotely.

the best kind of truth

What could they do hypothetically? They don't have network access to phone home, do they?

> A full-time attacker just need to spend their day scouting for approved firmwares and re-use them

What do you mean by that? The secure boot chain (all the way from the boot ROM) must not be broken for "hardware-backed" Play Integrity to pass. How could you reuse firmware with that in mind?

Play Integrity API passes enough for most apps, including Google Pay (the only known exception is Mc Donalds) by simply reusing the "fingerprint" of another device (the "fingerprint" is basically just a version number, except it's globally unique not just model-unique). In those cases, if the system says "sorry I don't know how to do the secure boot chain verification" rather than "the secure boot chain says it is an un-certified firmware", Play Integrity API will say all is good.

Can't you just play an mp3 file on repeat on almost any kind of device? What did you invent here?

and? if they got it from ChatGPT they could have gotten it from the internet

"ChatGPT didn't enable this creepy thing, it just made it easier" isn't the flex you think it is.

It didn’t make it easier.

What do you mean? What is preventing you from using git to sync your notes?

Most apps aren't built to use it, especially on mobile. Think of the use case of your grocery list--you want one tap, open the list, type type type, and done. Anything else--having to tap save, sync, write a commit message, etc... anything, is a fail in my opinion. Git is great to use behind the scenes but I don't want to see it in the UI or slow down my workflow.

Why the need for another step? Just have it auto save/commit/merge/push in the background once you finish typing.

Indeed, this can be done, but usually isn't. And when it is done, it looks like another proprietary syncing protocol.

The thing is that you should not expect a user to explicitly host a git repo somewhere to for a grocery list app. Most apps are designed for users who are unwilling to do that, and are actually ready to pay to avoid whatever technical hurdles.

OTOH I see a niche for an app geared towards more technical users, chich would, among other things, allow you to point at a git / hg / whatever repo to use as the synchronization point.
