    ??? Wasn’t Wolfram alpha one of the first publicly available programs on the Internet using “AI”???

      They kind of legitimately do have a reason to want to do natural language processing of some form, because they’ve got a lot of useful functionality in Mathematica that you have to have specialized knowledge of syntax to access.

    I have an open-source calculator app, OpenCalc, off F-Droid on Android for light stuff.

    I use maxima on Android and Linux for heavyweight stuff.

    I mean, if you want it, it’s there.

        I mean, that’s de-Googled Android, which is in significant part what F-Droid is aimed at. Surely F-Droid works on that, and both OpenCalc and maxima are on that.

        Yeah:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GrapheneOS

        In March 2022, writing for How-To Geek Joe Fedewa said that Google apps were not included due to concerns over privacy, and GrapheneOS also did not include a default app store. Instead, Fedewa suggested, F-Droid could be used.[5]

        I kind of figured that everyone using the de-Googled Android things was using F-Droid.

        EDIT: Didn’t link to the F-Droid maxima page.

            Source: trust me bro

            That’s the problem with Graphene OS. The culture spreads misinformation.

            What part of it? The app itself? There are alternative clients. The protocol? It’s made for people to host app repos, not to ensure everything hosted in an F-Droid compatible repo is safe. The fact that reproducible builds arenct enforced? There’s always a gap where you’re trusting a third party unless you’re building everything from source yourself.

            It’s the android equivalent of a package manager.

            F-Droid is like any other place you get apps and programs to run on one of your devices: caveat emptor. At least all packages are open source so you can review yourself.

            This is as absurd as saying you don’t use linux because someone could typosquat a fake repo or app through the package manager.
