You’re right. But the headline is “the days of custom android ROMs are numbered”


After reading the article seems like a sensationalized headline. One of the major ROMs is on hiatus and may never return. And the process of installing custom ROMs is challenging. Not good, frustrating, but different than “soon no one will be able to do this”


I think the main thing is even if they were using the same underlying model (like chatgpt or Claude), they give them different prompts. For example, the one you linked seems more clearly prompted to give you a humorous roast style summary. Just from the screenshot from Reddit I get the impression they gave it a prompt about “you are an assistant for community moderators who are evaluating what course to take with a user” or something like that.



If the person can do the work, why the deception? Is this like overemployed on steroids?


I remember seeing some of this stuff when it came out and thinking “why are they doing this?” A bunch of it I never heard of, and a handful I wish had seen success (Firefox OS). Not sure how this counts as a hit piece, it didn’t seem mean spirited and definitely didn’t seem to be misrepresenting anything.


There’s more than one spot that covers it, but one part says “You should be able to ignore the auto-on toggle and disable Bluetooth as usual, though”


If you read the article, it does have a toggle to enable or disable the feature


If you read the article it says there will be a toggle to enable or disable the feature. It’s part of updates to support their “find my device” network


If you read the article they say there’s a toggle to enable/disable auto Bluetooth on.




Thanks for sharing. Have you played games in the Civ series? If so your description makes them sound similar, would you agree? I’ve been poking around other “4X” games, but don’t have the best laptop so while I’d love to play more recent games they don’t all pan out. Civ V works but Civ VI won’t, for example. I’m also using steam on Ubuntu so I’d guess that might contribute to the issues.
