Not a vpn, but use a known public cloud IP address through a vpn (but you could set a socks proxy, etc).

Clippy really ... wasn't bad? It mostly stayed out of your way, occasionally showed a button to perform a useful task, and could interact with the help system without having to click through 3 menus.

It wasn't a panacea but it was at least positive-value, unlike most current AI.

I got logged out of Signal after setting up Molly

Now reading this on the GitHub page:

"If you wish to use the same phone number for both Molly and Signal, you must register Molly as a linked device. Registering the same number independently on both apps will result in only the most recently registered app staying active, while the other will go offline."

Says it's on F-Droid and it isn't. Search turns up no results

It's in a third party repo that you need to add first

I searched so long for a single screenshot, looking at the app stores (in my browser) and Github with no success.

It really is weird not to show a single screenshot when the 4th listed feature is design ("Material You | Extra theme that follows your device palette").

Just installed it, it looks exactly the same, just a bit more purple theme

I've spent years building something for free with no expectation of anything in return. Perhaps someone just doesn't believe in the GPL and has no ulterior motive for that.

What part don't you "believe" exactly? It's just a license with it's particular use cases. It's up to you whether you find the use case appropriate in your circumstance. It depends on what your goal is.
gitaarik commented on mRNA flu vaccine is up to 34.5% more effective than current flu vaccines   scimex.org/newsfeed/exper... · Posted by u/lysp

Nobody else is going to back such a study. So that's going to be true for every drug.
gitaarik · 21 days ago
Indeed. And pharmaceutical companies will never do studies for medicines they cannot patent. And you can't patent natural medicines, only synthetic. So only the synthetic ones that are created by them are being studied and are the only "proven" medicine.

Convenient not?

Maybe we should have an independent institute backed by citizens, that does these studies, for both natural and synthetic medicines.

But that would destroy the pharmaceutical industry.

Phase 3 trial, not just any study. The results are required by FDA in order to approve the vaccine.
gitaarik · 23 days ago
The point being that it's backed by the company that's producing the product
