Does anyone have good advice for a good AI-free on-phone Android photo viewing (and light editing) app that isn't Google Photos?

1) they've killed the perspective/keystone crop.

2) they're badgering me about photo backup and make it hard to not turn it on - I don't want it on! I back up elsewhere, piss off!

3) and finally, they're adding this Nano Banana AI business to it, and urgh.

I've already downgraded to get keystone crop back, but it keeps on pushing 2) anyway and asking me to update.

여성 독립운동가 김마리아 선생님은 쌍권총 -심지어 말 타고 - 을 잘 쓰셔서, 별명이 "쌍권총의 마리아"였다고 한다. 만주 웨스턴 짱짱이야. 당시 독립운동가들은 한국어 일본어는 당연하고 러시아어 중국어도 하시는 경우가 적지 않았던 모양. 이 분도 러시아/중국어 교관을 할 정도로 능통하셨다고. 츠타님 생각난다~ (독립운동가 김마리아 선생님이 두 분임)

He's yet to actually bite through braiding, but I know if he wanted to even the armoured stuff isn't a match (thanks for that lesson, Soup), so started looking at middle of the road ideas.

Split tubing. AND plastic cable braiding.

Looking at one particularly chunky wire layered up in unappetising plastic I started to think 'is this overkill?' before suddenly getting flashbacks to waking up one day to Soup chewing a brick.

Another layer of split tubing on the important bits, then.

hey cis friends

when i say we need you to be an accomplice, not an ally

this is what i mean

(this article is moderately transphobic, which is no surprise given it's from the BBC, but it's the action of the cis woman who's the focus of it that I'm talking about)

I have two excellent developers on tap to give bhyve and OpenZFS some serious polish on multiple platforms plus docs work.

Know of anyone with half a million to million USD to invest strategically?

Good reason to bring BSD Fund back properly.

All shovel ready.

A guy can dream.

Been dreaming this dream for a long time.

I have just placed the first building block of a project that will be a long one. If everything goes as planned, it should see the light in about two years. It came to mind thanks to a comment from a wonderful person here in the Fediverse, and another comment (completely unrelated) from someone else, also here in the Fediverse.

I am excited, worried, happy and... well, I have time, but I hope to move forward with some consistency.

Berkeley byla vždycky výspa komunismu, ale tohle už vážně přehánějí.

Fyzicky oddělené pruhy pro cyklisty co utlačují prostor pro auta (navíc vedené tak aby na sebe lidi viděli), sdílená kola…co přijde příště, dostupné zdravotnictví???!!!??!

Watched the Kubrick classic 2001: A Space Odyssey on an international flight recently, and can confirm this movie is still the best way to fall asleep on a plane.

Except the part where (SPOILER ALERT!) Hal (AI) goes rogue and starts killing the crew. I'm not proud of this, but I have frequent fantasies of being Dave, where I'm floating around inside AI's mind, disconnecting critical circuits while the machine gurgles "Daisy."
