Yes, exactly. Several photo gallery apps do this.

Once the technology exists, we need clanker laws.

Make it illegal to generate ML output without a positive watermark.

Projectivity is another great option, especially if you want a few more options without anything you don’t want.

Why do either?

Meta’s “financial model is to reward content creators who get engagement, and as we know, the best way of getting engagement is to produce rage bait, extremist material, aggravating material: anything that will get people upset and arguing is the best way to get engagement.”

That tracks.

I was posting about these kind proton pricing shenanigans months ago and no one was listening.

What on Earth was every the intended use of this feature? I just can’t think of any way to use it other than vandalism and misinformation.

My exact setup after trying a lot of different configurations.

Basically, the article says “Windows is doing fine. Microsoft even told us. Also, no one uses AI bots on Windows.”

Just use SimpleX

Why do people host RSS?

I see a lot of options for self-hosting RSS subscriptions and I don’t actually understand what they are for. The very nature of RSS is that it tracks and connects to online content. It seems like having a home server track and download the content just so that you can download it on another device from your server instead of the original servers a bit redundant. Also, it seems like the clients are more limited, since it has ro connect to your personal host, as opposed to the many RSS readers available.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I genuinely don’t get it. What am I missing?

Big +1 for LRCGET. It is extremely powerful and dead simple to use. I’m generally able to point it at a directory and press go. It will return lyrics about as accurately and reliably as any manual search, and it has the (experimental) ability to embed the lyrics as well.

I prefer embedded lyrics, since I know that they will be available and inseparable from the files regardless of what my library looks like in the future.

welp, I’m sure that will never be misused…

Never tried it. It looks like maybe the mobile app is not available from open source repos.

FYI, I came across an app called FindFamily on F-Droid, but it looks like a vibe-coded vaporware, and who knows what server it’s connecting to in the background.

On device, I’d trust OwnTracks, Colota, or GPSLogger, then use Dawarich or Reitti on the server. That is, if you are interested in device history, which could be useful in tracking a lost device, or just having your personal memoies saved.

These do not provide defensive measures like photo or remote wiping. FMD can do that over SMS if the phone is disconnected from the server.

I had this and switched to reitti with owntracks specifically to work with multiple family accounts. Owntracks is not as nice as Colota in most ways, but shows the live location of my family. I had some stability issues with dawarich using multiple devices (most likely user error) but liked it. I do think that reitti has a nicer interface and features, but probably a matter of taste.

Yes, just not a long line of great governance.

Some unexpected wins for New Jersey lately, huh?
