It’s a slur, basically, for AI that pretends to speak like a human. In the Star Wars franchise, people who don’t like droids call them that.

Bad news: clankers occasionally throw in a typo or two as well. Can’t tell you whether that’s intentional or because the (human made) training data includes typos but there it is.

Haha, oh you.

They are using an LLM because they can’t express themselves well enough in English, that’s for sure. But the way they replied to me seemed to be genuine, in its clumsiness.

granting that you’re from the Eastern Bloc

Oh, I agree that they came here with less than noble intentions but they also might not fully understand or misunderstand the situation that they’re commenting on. Hard to say when they’re not communicating using their own words.

I can only assume that this comment is the result of the language barrier.

There may yet be some level of cultural misunderstanding in there too, I haven’t given up hope.

Ah yes, you DO want to stir up shit.

I do think it’s necessary because if you had mentioned that you’re not from the US, people would have explained the situation to you in more detail and much more patiently. Instead, you come across as simply wanting to stir up shit and people react accordingly. That’s not what you want, now is it?

You seem to not be a native speaker of English. That’s fine of course (neither am I) but in matters of politics concerning a country you don’t live in (especially when it’s about a volatile situation like the current one in the US) it’s usually a good idea to mention that you’re an outdude outside observer, to put what you’re saying into perspective.

Edit2: dear reader, please note that, when I wrote this, OP hadn’t yet unveiled the paedophilia apologia.

Quellfeld. Or maybe Feldquell. Possibly Lenzfeld. Sprungfeld is at least plausible.

Not on this profile, it seems.

Gosh. Think the reason might be that you keep posting the same things over and over without really engaging with your replies? From what I hear about Reddit, I wouldn’t put it past them to kick you for that. It’s not exactly well beloved behaviour here either, just so you know.

Anyway, I would offer some equivalent of “thoughts and prayers” in this trying time but that does sound somewhat friendly which might be counterproductive to whatever you’re trying to achieve here (idk, because I’m still mildly bemused [as well as amused and cemused] about your posting habits). How about a nice egg? 🥚

What feelings? What help do you think OP is looking for? They are informing us of a thing.

Hello, there you are again. Any changes from the last time you posted this? Still no good answers (whatever a “good” answer to this would look like)? Must be rough, man. I would tell you that not getting good answers surely is rough enough to talk with supportive friends about but…

Yeah, I’m talking about the average user who won’t even be aware that there may be a need, let alone a way, to get rid of those services. They won’t be aware that there was any change in Google’s policy because they don’t “sideload” so they also won’t ask any local shops to remove the services (and replace them with MicroG).

I meant the change in Google’s policy.

So that’s https://xcancel.com/sentdefender and https://xcancel.com/Faytuks. Possibly this post https://xcancel.com/Faytuks/status/2067919275986124896 specifically?

I think they’re asking why a customer would (actively) choose those app stores over the Play store.
