Something that seems like is should be a common use case for "AI" (computer vision, machine learning varieties)

Input: a photo or scan of a document

Output: marked-up text for the same document (word processor format or HTML)

What are the best tools for that?

운전 많이 하면 할만하긴 한데, 나 외국나가 있을 동안은 돈낭비이고 옛날부터 캠핑카 노래를 해댔으니 언젠가 사긴 할텐데 그럼 운전도 오래 하게 될텐데 근데 꼭 지금 해야하는가?… 음 근데 20년납씩 하는데 좀 빨리 낸다고 뭐 차이가 있나 싶기도 글케 비싸지도 않고…? 근데 그 변호사비 줄어든다는게 글케 크리티컬한건지 잘 모르겠네 경험이(?) 없어서

someday my decades-long conviction that the chemical soup we live in is gonna shorten everyone's lives (some more than others) is gonna be an accepted fact of science

meanwhile...
"Nearly every scientist interviewed for this story does a few simple things. They filter their water, they run an air purifier, they don’t microwave plastic...opt for fragrance-free products, avoid eating out of plastic when they can, and buy organic produce."

Today we’re launching EFF.org/Age, our one-stop shop to answer all of your questions about online age verification mandates. What’s at stake for users? How do we push back? What even IS age verification, anyway? Visit eff.org/age now to explore our resources and join the fight to protect the internet.

Age Verification and Age Gating: Resource Hub

Age verification (or age-gating) laws generally require online services to check, estimate, or verify all users’ ages—often through invasive tools like ID checks, biometric scans, or other dubious “age estimation” methods—before granting them access to certain online content or services.  Governments in the U.S. and around the world are increasingly adopting these restrictive measures in the name of protecting children online. But in practice, these systems create dangerous new forms of surveillance, censorship, and exclusion.  Technologically, the age verification process can take many forms: collection and analysis of government ID, biometric scans, algorithmic or AI-based behavioral or user monitoring, digital ID, the list goes on. But no matter the method, every system demands users hand over sensitive and immutable personal information that links their offline identity to their online activity. Once that valuable data is collected, it can easily be leaked, hacked, or misused. (Indeed, we’ve already seen several breaches of age verification providers.) EFF has long warned against age-gating the internet. Age verification technology itself is often inaccurate and privacy-invasive. These restrictive mandates strike at the foundation of the free and open internet. They are tools of censorship, used to block people from viewing or sharing information that the government deems “harmful” or “offensive.” And they create surveillance systems that critically undermine online privacy, chill access to vital online communities and resources, and burden the expressive rights of adults and young people alike. EFF.org/Age: A Resource to Empower Users Age-gating mandates are reshaping the internet in ways that are invasive, dangerous, and deeply unnecessary. But users are not powerless! We can challenge these laws, protect our digital rights, and build a safer digital world for all internet users, no matter their ages. This resource hub is here to help—so explore, share, and join us in the fight for a better internet.

"On a Thursday in early September, more than 40 strangers logged in to Instacart, the grocery-shopping app, to buy eggs and test a hypothesis.

Connected by videoconference, they simultaneously selected the same store — a Safeway in Washington, D.C. — and the same brand of eggs. They all chose pickup rather than delivery.

The only difference was the price they were offered: $3.99 for a couple of lucky shoppers. $4.59 or $4.69 for others. And a few saw a price of $4.79 — 20 percent more than some others, for the exact same product.

The shoppers were volunteers, participating in a study published on Tuesday and organized by the Groundwork Collaborative, a progressive policy group, and Consumer Reports, a nonprofit consumer publication. In tests in four cities across the country, nearly 200 volunteers checked prices on 20 grocery items on Instacart.

On item after item, they found significant differences. In a Target in North Canton, Ohio, some shoppers were charged $3.59 for a jar of Skippy peanut butter that others could get for $2.99. At a Safeway in Seattle, some people paid $3.99 for a box of Wheat Thins while others paid $4.89. And at a Target in St. Paul, Minn., some people were charged $4.59 for a box of Cheerios that others could get for $3.99.

“Two shoppers who are buying the exact same item from the exact same store at the exact same time are getting different prices,” said Lindsay Owens, executive director of the Groundwork Collaborative. “The data really backs up how extraordinarily pervasive this is.”
(...)
Groundwork’s findings are the latest example of how the notion of a single price, offered to all customers for a predictable period, is breaking down in the digital age. Companies are using sophisticated algorithms to adjust prices quickly in response to competitors’ offers and consumer behavior."

Today in I'm thankful for the BSD projects, particularly FreeBSD & OpenBSD. Nothing against NetBSD or DragonflyBSD, I just haven't found a regular use-case for them in my day-to-day.

I recently wrote up¹ why/how I ended up on a mix of FreeBSD & OpenBSD after a long tenure with Debian since it drifted from the Unixy principles² I loved and grew up with.

@TheOneSwit @clarablackink @NiwlCraftHonora NiwlCraft

is about building communities that distribute tasks on a eye-to-eye level.

communities don't need to be self-sufficient, medieval, agricultural, backwater villages. But one of the main questions in solarpunk is: What can a community achieve without the need for a highly specialized, expert driven economy?

Cars and advanced electronics are a gray area. The hyperscaler computer infrastructure needed for is definitely out of bounds.
