here's one option for high end devices otherwise I'm considering offering a service to generate alt texts with auto-assigned rate limits based on account age etc, intended to fit into cope.works seamlessly (appview relaying with key, akin to feeds), would be happy to offer it to witchsky also.

Screenshot of an application settings screen titled "AI Alt Text," showing configuration options for Provider, Variant, and Prompt. The current provider is set to "On-device (Gemini Nano)," the current variant is "Full (E4B)," and there is a toggle switch for "Auto-generate alt text."

I'm at the supposedly worst train line of Italy

Me in a red t-shirt and black shorts standing on a train platform next to a dark-colored train with large windows, with EAV on its facade.

A screenshot of a YouTube video thumbnail shows a red and white train on tracks with the text "Italy's WORST Railway?!" overlaid on the image, and a red arrow pointing toward the train. Below the video, the text reads, "Is this Italy's WORST rail line? Naples' Circumvesuviana Railway".

another day another daheim bleiben moment

A mobile app screen titled "Trip details" shows a travel itinerary with a warning that the connection is no longer available. The itinerary lists a departure from Hamburg Hbf at 19:34 and an arrival at Berlin Hbf at 21:24, with both stops marked as "Stop cancelled." A button at the bottom reads "Search for alternatives."

A mobile app screen titled "Alternative connections" shows a list of train options from Hamburg Hbf (Hamburg Central Station). Each option displays a departure and arrival time, train number (e.g., ICE 873, ICE 807, ICE 609, ICE 809, RJ 479), and a duration, with a red warning icon and the text "Trip is not possible" beneath each listing.

Did you read the actual statement? I don't think your reading accurately represents what it says.

Could they have gotten more with a different pricing strategy?
Could they have created more things for fans to buy?
Could they have cost effectively marketed in a way that reached more players that would have loved and bought the games? Could they have changed the game designs and broadened the appeal to more players without alienating existing ones? Could they have produced the games at a lower cost, faster or cheaper? Ireally don't know.
The game isn't over yet, and hope the studio rallies through.

my deutsche bahn mcp keeps paying off for travel planning. being able to give it a screenshot of my current travel plans and ask "where do I sneak this in" and have it look through available trains to tell me when is so nice. (the decision is sadly "likely not worth it" on this one)

A screenshot of claude app conversation under project "Italy trip" shows a user asking if there is a good way to get to Treviso on the way to Bassano del Grappa as a detour, or from Venice to Milan as a detour.

Had Fable write a webapp to use google maps api to find restaurants that have outdoor dining, based on metadata and reviews (which I'm used to doing manually, but it's slooow). Tested it out by dining outside on a hella wimdy 19°C day, had a cute dinner regardless :D Missed going to restaurants.

A screenshot of the OutDineMap app showing a map of Naples with several green location pins marking pizza places. The search bar at the top reads "OutDineMap napoli" and the map displays various street names and landmarks. Below the map, a list shows "Pizza e sfizi del duomo 171" with a rating of 4.6 and a price range of €1–€10.

I'm pretty sure they know the difference. This is her btw, and there's no mistaking this to a hijab. They'd at least know the cross, right? This is just racism by itself, if not some more sinister variant of it ("she's dressing up like a nun to hide in plain sight" (this was on a border town)).

Did you read the article?

Meanwhile, jewelry designer Cali Hellerman didn't know who to vote for when she hit the polling booth, but she still cast her vote for Charrington and Hardy—thanks to the use of ChatGPT. Pulling out her phone, she showed how she asked ChatGPT to tell her how to vote. It said it couldn't tell her who to vote for, but it summarized the positions of each of the candidates. As a result, she voted for Marlon Rice for State Senate, Eon Huntley for Assembly, and Charrington and Hardy for district leaders.

"I am for the community people," she said, pointing to ChatGPT's summary of Charrington and Hardy's deed theft advocacy. "I just think the housing thing is a big issue."

It's not advertised as such. I'm sorry if it's not what you wanted it to be, but valve has been clear from the beginning about their design goal being a PC that's optimized for gaming, and it's priced in line with that.

A screenshot of a text block on a light gray background. The text reads: "Is this the Valve console? We think of Steam Machine as an extension of PC gaming, not as a console. The traditional console model is to sell hardware at a loss and make up the revenue with subscription services or by selling games that are locked-in to the hardware. We think this can make sense for a single business in the short term but that open ecosystems are better for customers over the long term. PC gaming's history proves this: The openness of the PC gaming space has enabled it to be the primary driver of hardware and software innovation for decades. The strength of PC gaming is the ability to play the games you want on the hardware you want. Steam Machine is *a* solution to these problems (and we think it's a great one), but it's not the only solution, and we don't want it to be."

They were very unsure, didn't know what gender marker was new, what expiry to use for the travel document, whether they need to re-order the permanent residence card. Two supervisors got involved (& IMO 2/3 of those they got wrong.) We have ordered one travel document and one perm residence card 🎉

Stop defending Godot & being mad that people hate the fact they bend the knee." The second post reads: "Can we kill off the mindset of "don't like it then make your own X/contribute" I already have enough on my plate & if a group decides to pull stuff like this then I leave." The third post reads: "Devs like you covering for the godot team's choices are selectively Pro AI & only hate it when it's convenient.

I'd need to read the details of dutch law on this and I'm happy to, but if it's like the german Vereins, then the goals can be amended by a vote by the members. The public does not appear to be welcome as members either, which is fine, but that gives me no reason to place any trust in them.
