This post is from noted beer bloggers 'Boak and Bailey'. It focuses on the flood of vibe-coded beer related apps they are being notified about but I thought it nicely generalises "the main problem with so many AI-enabled hobby projects: presentation and interface design is the easy bit; it’s building or getting access to good quality underlying data that’s the challenge."

I don't believe that's true any longer. The U.S. moves over Greenland have a large part to play in this, but I think the sanctioning of the International Criminal Court is much more relevant.

Overnight ICC officials couldn't access email, documents etc, all because the U.S. government leaned on Microsoft. If they can do it to a United Nations court they can and will do it to anyone.

Spending money on a system you don't have any control over doesn't make sense. The public understand this.

Just one data point but they work for me. (Nothing phone, android 16, Ankidroid 2.23.3 installed from Fdroid)

Stripping the metadata on a photo is probably a feature though. For privacy reasons the default should most likely be that location, device info etc are taken out of photos that might go viral or be shared beyond what the original user intended.

I guess Israel's government really wants to avoid making a peace deal.

Public Libraries.

I don't think so.

I'm on Ubuntu and mostly use debs (apt), I'll use Snaps if that's the easiest way to get an update. I use Appimages for some ephemeral stuff or when that's the only way developers release it (some 3d printing stuff). I haven't installed Flatpaks at all because it doesn't jibe with the distro overall.

Why?

You think scholars are mostly translating?
