  • So you’re suggesting that the AI “knew” that the “Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse” app wasn’t FOSS, but recommended it to OP anyway when they asked for a FOSS app, and it did so out of malice? Or you think Google has provided explicit instructions for Gemini to promote non-FOSS apps to people who ask for FOSS apps because they’re evil?

    Seems much more likely to me that the LLM just doesn’t actually understand anything it’s talking about and the embedding space it ended up in when given OP’s prompt caused it to surface this random non-FOSS app.

    Thus, Hanlon’s Razor.







  • Yeah, that’s what I’m doing. I’m running a de-Googled Android (/e/OS on a Fairphone 6) and using the KDE Connect app on there to sync up with my desktop (via GSConnect in NixOS since I’m running GNOME, though KDE Connect would be preferable if you’re running Plasma). It’s not perfect, and I’ve run into a few bugs (especially with regard to group messages), but it’s surprisingly reliable otherwise.
