Yeah, getting applications to go along with it would be a much harder task I guess since there are much many more applications than there are operating systems. Either way, this isn't a good look.

Why is it required for Operating System to know your age?
The operating system's only job is to communicate between you, the applications, and the hardware.

You download the APK and install it just like any other APK that doesn't come from Google Play. You'll most likely need to tap an option that pops up, enabling install apps downloaded from Chrome or from the Files app.

2026-02-28 17:18:01 CET

A new marketing term is upon us. Web 4.0 just dropped. And honestly? The core idea isn't wrong. Unlike Web 3.0, which was a solution desperately searching for a problem, while quietly funneling VC money into rug pulls and scams, Web 4.0 is different. Sure, the VC hype machine is still running, but the underlying technology is actually useful, where as shitcoins were not useful. With Web 4.0, we have Al agents that understand context, websites that adapt and act, and autonomous systems are doing real work.

2026-02-27 15:16:16 CET

I feel that a lot of the AI FUD breaks down into two camps:
1. People who haven't touched AI since ChatGPT launched in 2022 and are basically using it as a fancy Google search.
2. People, consciously or not, who are afraid it's coming for their job.
That second fear? It might not be wrong. But here's what I actually believe: the people who adapt will find their footing. Communication, creativity, critical thinking. These skills aren't going away. Harnessing them with AI is how you stay in control of an uncertain future.
So what can you do right now?
For $20/month you can subscribe to Claude or ChatGPT. Or use Shakespeare on a pay as you go basis and just... build something. Anything. Learn how these tools actually work by using them.
This isn't a Shakespeare ad. I'm not trying to shill. Use whatever tool you want. I genuinely don't care which one.
I just want you to use something and learn about where we're heading so that you are prepared.
