Trey Hunner 🐍A friend is building an app to help immigrants detained by ICE.
It's a web app currently, but is intended to be a mobile app.
Anyone have experience building and deploying mobile apps and interested in volunteering time to help a new app with a good cause?
Feel free to share with others or boost for reach.

Deborah Edwards-OñoroI missed this news late last month.
Organic Maps forked over governance concerns: CoMaps is born.
"Powered by OpenStreetMap data, CoMaps is an offline-focused navigation app that offers detailed maps and turn-by-turn directions without mining for user data.
It offers the ability to download maps, find places, get directions for walking, biking, or driving, and has support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay."
Rob 🏳️🌈 RMiddleton.ArtDear Every Restaurant:
I don't want to place an online order, I want to look at your menu.
I don't want to visit Facebook or any other site demanding that I login to an app.
Current offerings with accurate prices are appreciated.
Thanks to the 3 of you already doing this!
Bon Appetit!

@everydoor I'm thinking about mapping the classrooms of a college campus. Is this possible to do in every door? I looked but didn't see a way to do it. Maybe it will be possible with a plug in one the plug-in system is fully released?
I imagine it would be helpful for people trying to find their class by room number on the first day of school. I'm not sure if any map will display it or provide it in search results well, but at least the data would be there.

Paco Hope #resistI need a term for the GenAI equivalent of being vegetarian. 30 years ago, I came to understand how animal suffering and profit were tightly correlated. Profit went up the more suffering was inflicted on animals. It was optional, not necessary, but it was profitable. I made the decision to become vegetarian because there weren't other realistic choices. Today there are many ethically better options than were available to me in the 1990s, I'm still vegetarian because it's still a good thing to do and I enjoy it.
AI has now struck me as very, very similar: Suffering directly correlated to profit. Whether it's climate change, unemployment, disenfranchisement, or just the general attack on creativity, expertise, and accountability, I can't abide the current approaches to generative AI. I'm gonna uninstall it from my personal stuff and do what I can to not use it/be ethical with it at work.
And while "Luddite" might seem like a reasonable term, it's a very misunderstood term and would likely prompt perjorative connotations.
There is a lot of machine learning technolgoy that is very good, ethical, and not climate destroying. Many predictive AI systems (OCR, voice recognition, network IDS and IPS, language translation, etc.) are really effective and have really good cost/benefit ratios. I have no opposition to these ML systems because they don't have the properties I am uncomfortable with.
