Oh! I was under the impression that getting it on bare skin was toxic.

Currently, ticks do not carry encephalitis in the US.

I would add that it's probably best to bathe your dog as soon as you get home to avoid getting permethrin all over your house and absorbing it through your skin.

'Hallucinations' are not a bug though; it's working exactly as intended and this is how it's designed. There's no bug in the code that you can go in and change that will 'fix' this.

LLMs are impressive auto-complete, but sometimes the auto-complete doesn't spit out factual information because LLMs don't know what factual information is.

This of course requires using a JS management extension.

What's a good extension for this? What do you use?

I would imagine the risk depends on the app, your use case of the phone and the app, and if you're a high-profile target.

That said, Android phones have an Android ID, an Advertising ID, a sim ID, wifi ID, bluetooth ID, MAC address, IMEIs, and more.

There is an Xposed module called Android Faker that claims to spoof these IDs. It requires root and something that can manage xposed modules, such as LSPosed. I only use it for a few super sketchy apps that I need and don't trust.

Who holds the encryption keys? If it's X/Twiiter, I wouldn't trust it at all, especially considering who owns it.

I think the law should be changed; copyright law is kind of a mess, but I don't know how to make it better. It would also need to be changed in a way that's fair, which these companies absolutely do not want; fairness would mean the end of laws like the DMCA.
