First result when I searched Droidify
I said that I understand that some people want to act unethically in games as a form of escapism for that you can’t do in real life, and that’s fine. But there should be ethical options for people who do want to build an ethical civilisation, as that also makes it more realistic in many ways, not all real civilisations have to start off with a feudal system and slowly progress in exactly the way the tech and civic trees work in civ6.

> 'Barbarians' (indigenous or native people, obviously stereotyped as always warlike), the tech tree that forces you to discover things in the way the Europeans discovered them, not just making you unlock actually necessary technologies before you unlock new ones, even more so with the civic tree as any policy or government can be developed in isolation, it doesn't need the preceding civ6 ones, also you can't have a democracy from the beginning if you want what's best for your people. You have to conquer other continents displacing or killing the natives, and the way it frames certain governments such as communism is disingenuous when they're really describing authoritarianism, and making that misunderstanding more widespread.

> Abolish the civic tree. Let you establish any government or any policy ( you can still have policy slots but it's the same across all governments) at any time without culture cost. Governments could affect things like the happiness and productivity of your people, but not more than that. Rename 'barbarians' to natives or indigenous people and create more peaceful options for interacting with them, don't make them aggressive by default. Encourage cooperation with civilisations on other continents (such as lasting trade agreements that you don't have to renew every 30 turns) rather than encouraging settling everywhere on the map. Allow individual cities to get upgrades that allows producing multiple things at once rather than the only way to do so being creating multiple cities. Allow agnosticism or atheism as a 'religion' option and rename religion to 'philosophy' or 'ideology' or something like that. Having real historical cultures and leaders on a generated world doesn't really make sense so there should be fictional or generated civilisations and leaders as options too.

> I don't mind if they keep the victory conditions they've got, scientific, religious (although ideological is a better term), military, although not cultural. If people want to play as murderous colonial maniacs they should be allowed to, they just shouldn't be forced into it and should have more peaceful options to play. The scientific victory should be collaborative, with multiple civilisations working together to advance scientific knowledge and improve human conditions (although the current goal of space travel is overly simplistic). Convincing the world of your ideology isn't a bad measure for success either, and conquering the world military is a kind of success, if not a very moral one. Culture victory is just a thinly veiled way of saying that only European culture is good and the way of proving your culture is best is attracting tourists, which is again overly simplistic.

It’s only a problem if you expect them to do formal reasoning. They are fancy word predictors, useful for when your output doesn’t need to be factually accurate. If you use them for things they’re not designed for, you’ll get bad results, but that would be your fault for using them in an incorrect manner, not the LLMs’ faults. You don’t use a screwdriver to bang in a nail and say the screwdriver ‘has a HUGE problem’ when it does a bad job.
If it used the Signal protocol any app that used that protocol which is open, could interact with it, that is the point. Whereas RCS is a closed protocol, just one that happens to also be interoperable with Google Messages, but not any other third party apps that people might want to make.
To be honest, I’m a bit surprised that on Lemmy people are so against open standards and FOSS apps.

I need an Android device for archival purposes, it has several requirements and I would appreciate any suggestions. I've done some research myself, but I would appreciate it maybe you know of something I haven't discovered.
Requirements:
- Must fit inside [this Faraday pouch](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08X63PDJT/), or a different one that is of a similar price, and is both water and fire proof
- Must support an open OS (Degoogled, rooted Android ROM or Linux - both support touch interfaces, Kiwix, and storing and viewing files)
- at least 256GB internal storage to store the files
- at least 8GB RAM for running local AI models, preferably nearer 16GB
- Good battery life, since it will stay inside the pouch most of the time and I don't want to have to take it out to charge it every day
- As cheap as possible
I have no other requirements, it doesn't even have to have a camera, let alone a good one.
Thanks for all your help!

Android 14, an update released on 22 June under no more description than 'security update' has stopped syncthing being able to write to folders, even the few it allowed me to previously specifically grant access to. I can't add a folder to sync, as it says 'your android version hasn't granted syncthing write access, this folder is locked to read only' and then doesn't even add it.
My specific model, moto g73 doesn't support root or custom ROMs, which I wasn't aware of when I got it, but I have it now and apart from that it's a really good phone, so I hope there is some way to rescue this.
I should have the option to decline their 'security', even if it is buried under many layers of settings, and grant the apps storage permission anyway. Otherwise it is not security, it is them stealing ownership of my device from me.
It should absolutely be Motorola's onus to fix this, not the hardworking Syncthing team, but if you do know some way to get this working again, I would be grateful.
EDIT: Oh, by the way, this update also stopped every file manager app I had, of which I had three, one being the native Android file manager itself, working properly.
Edit2: This only seems to apply to the micro SD card storage, not internal storage. Unfortunately, I've filled up my internal storage and need to use my micro SD card. I _was_ using Syncthing as a backup, so I had a copy in case the micro SD card corrupted everything.

I can't root my phone because I don't have an image for it (Moto G73) although I'd like to, but for some reason my banking app thinks it's rooted and refuses to work. This happened just after I updated it, it wasn't happening before.
Edit: I'm regretting not getting the Motorola Edge 40 Neo, which also costs £250, but is slightly better in multiple ways, and seems like it has better root support.

I saw people going on about how great BG3 is on this site, so I thought I'd check out a let's play to see what all the fuss was about. I immediately fell in love with the graphics and the mechanics, such as the classes, races, spells, dice etc, but I disliked the emphasis on gore/horror in the game, and I know I wouldn't enjoy playing a game with that whole brain horror thing going on. Not to mention the price and storage requirements being excessive. (150GB!)
So, bearing in mind that, is there a game that would match my criteria, and if not, what do you think comes closest?

Basically the title. I installed Lemuroid recently and was wondering if you had any suggestions for specific 3d racing games you could recommend.
