Looks different!

Seems like they had to skirt sround some patents too 😳 that's a really funky triangle-less design.

Removing it can cause a bootloop in some cases, likely something in the boot process is looking for it and reinstalling that app if missing. Google's play services recently started doing that with permissions that are revoked with root

Should be removable on a non-stock ROM though

Yes, it's the newer version of the two. OP has an older device

Also worth noting some other nice free music apps also available on F-Droid:

  • SimpTube (uses YouTube Music)
  • Musify (uses Spotify)
  • Spotube (uses Spotify, streams the actual tracks from YouTube Music or via a Piped instance)

Chonky TL;DR because I was a little annoyed that there wasn't one here -

Certainly no commercial product could ever work at a profit if you needed remote operators anything like that often. As Brooks points out, the term “autonomous” barely applies.

Beyond what Brooks pointed out, the story also notes “Those vehicles were supported by a vast operations staff, with 1.5 workers per vehicle”.

Fitting with this general vibe, a source (that in fairness, I don’t know well) just told me that his impression having visited with them not so long ago was that “they're definitely relying on remote interventions to create an illusion of stronger AI than they really have”.

if Cruise’s vehicles really need an intervention every few miles, and 1.5 external operators for every vehicle, they don’t seem to even be remotely close to what they have been alleging to the public. Shareholders will certainly sue, and if it’s bad as it looks, I doubt that GM will continue the project, which was recently suspended.

As safety expert Missy Cummings said to me this morning, remote operators could well be “the dark secret of ALL self-driving.”

Human lives at are stake.

Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt essentially confirmed that their “driverless” cars need very regular human intervention:

The web UI would be the safest bet I think.

Apps may have their own mechanisms for loading links to news articles, videos and stuff to make it show in a user-friendly way, with the downside that the linked website can respond with a tracking image as the Opengraph banner etc.

Mid 2012 is my daily 😍 running a different keyboard kernel module though to swap some of the keys, and make the Eject button a Delete key

I also add that site to my dns blocklist, AND the anti-adblock domain they're using (usually owned by Admiral 🤮🤬🤬)
