Re:GPT-6 Astra Helped Me Jailbreak My Kindle

I jailbroke my kindle with OpenCode's Big Pickle a few months ago.
Such a better piece of software than the proprietary crap that comes installed.
It took me a few weeks after getting a refurbished kindle paper-white, but man am I happy I jailbroke it.

I just downloaded and didn't give it access to my zsh shell. But it already had access. Have a feeling it has the ability to read my contents, any ideas?
It would suck if they got my project data to train, this way.

good question, my 2cents:
- use it to find information, like APIs & documentation.
- ask the llm a ton of questions.
- and don't be intimidated, if you ask any good programmer LLMs are still not that good and mess up a lot.
- if you are learning just to learn then just have fun.
- but if you are on a deadline or need to make an app to solve a problem and you don't really care about, quality, security, or learning then just use cursor or aider to get the job done.

But I also started watching adult content (pron) at a very early age.I was able to navigate the web more naturally than other people. And so my brain was hooked.It's been more than a decade carrying this unwanted habit. After my long...

I could have told you this for free :)
but really it just depends: - web or app information software: logic and language matters more here - doing what Donald Knuth does: math matters more here
