It’s definitely possible. It’s possible with a custom Android ROM.

There are are also a few phones in existence now that do basically what you request: https://www.thelightphone.com/lightiii

My recommendation:

https://f-droid.org/packages/de.mm20.launcher2.release/

Nothing like Nova but the best I’ve found.

My bad I didn’t realize this was a sport that you were trying to win lol

I said it was first I didn’t say it was standard. But being the first it definitionally can’t be “nonstandard” since it was the only one at the time!

that’s not what the discussion is about

hardly any of those are still in production by that logic a regular TV is a crt lol

n64 is relevant in any discussion about analog sticks on console controllera

“DEBATE ME”

lol but seriously who cares who’s first if we’re going with who’s thumbstick layout was first then it’s n64 and I think we agree nobody wants that

Same. I desperately hope they release a version with the regular thumbstick layout instead of the PlayStation layout that’s on the Deck.

That was actually super helpful, thank you.

That’s cool, it just… does those things? How does it connect to those apps? I can’t even get Gemini to set a reminder and that’s on a Google device.

OP said coding AND “some automation”, what is being automated?

Just curious, what does “some automation” entail? I thought LLMs could only work with text, like summarize documents and that sort of thing.

Calibre-web Automated is even better

Same, very seamless. So far I’ve only encountered one game (requires EA launcher) that didn’t run.

duck.com is great and I’ve only ever had a few times where it wasn’t accepted.

I’m not talking about engineering a problem away. I’m saying it can’t be engineered away and requires human adults in the room (moderators in this case) to handle bad behavior.

Accepting the presence of toxicity as a fact of life does nothing more than attract more toxicity.

I’m not trying to put words in your mouth, but it sure seems like you’re saying that toxicity can inevitably be found in every little gesture in our daily life, including internet platforms, which is a narrative I disagree with.

People can have a fight on the street, or in a pub, in a shop, at work, or wherever

Pretty much all pubs and shops I know quickly expel and ban people who fight there. If those places allowed fighting (as many internet platforms do) users looking for a fight would eventually gravitate there, and people looking to discuss peacefully will go elsewhere.

Do you really think tech is the issue?

No, I’m saying people are the issue. Toxicity is not something that can be found everywhere, it only pops up where it’s allowed to flourish.

My belief is that toxicity online is like building a six lane highway through a residential neighborhood. If you build the infrastructure to support more cars, and the law allows speeding you’re going to get more cars (and more car accidents).

If you build platforms that don’t allow cars/limit their behavior where people are trying to have a polite conversation, you’ll see quiet more thoughtful modes of transportation and fewer innocent bystanders get hurt.

Wow that analogy worked pretty well.
