  • It’s a software implementation though, so if you have a rooted phone or use another Android OS, you have limited options in apps that implement eSim for you.

    OpenEUICC is a good one, but sometimes requires magisk modules to work.

    I remember it took me half a day of fiddling to get my eSim working under Lineage.

    People forget that your phone supporting “feature X” means that even though it has all the hardware to do X, it still needs to software, which might not be part of the devicetree.

    For example paying for items with your phone’s NFC does not happen because of NFC capability. There are no open source solutions to Google Pay. It’s an agreement brokered between Google and Banks that allow the bankcard to be “cloned” and used via NFC, not the NFC doing any cloning of your actual bankcard








  • I’m hoping for a kind of objective truth to emerge from all this, where good AI’s do not function well when trained on incomplete data sources (i.e. the wealthy training AI on hand-picked bootlicked data to forward their malicious narratives).

    I’m hoping that AI can only advance once it’s trained on the totality of human discourse, so that it ultimately sees the wealthy for what they actually are (greedy, narcissistic, sociopathic hoarders) so that the AI acts only to better humanity as a whole instead of specific people.

    TLDR: I hope the alignment problem can’t be fixed in a way they want.
