I have been working on #Obsidian Reader for over a year. I didn't want to share it until I felt it was good enough. It's finally there.

Consistent formatting for any article. Outline, syntax highlighting, nice footnotes, adjustable typography.

Runs locally. Just rules, no AI.

Cactus report: the mammillaria with the magenta flowers was a new addition last spring and it had already bloomed when we got it so this is its first year, and what a display! Everyone else is coming along. Hoping for a big week! Not sure about this variety of mammillaria, but the rest of these are Texas natives.

This is a post about software development btw.

"Democratization" always means "commodification" for tech people.

Defuddle now returns Youtube transcripts!

Paste a YouTube link into defuddle·md to get a markdown transcript with timestamps, chapters, and pretty good diarization

So the non-profit Wikimedia foundation hypocritically went for the hype and partnered with genocidal #BigTech in January. And now, unsurprisingly, Wikipedia editors had to implement "new policies and restrict a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article." https://www.404media.co/ai-translations-are-adding-hallucinations-to-wikipedia-articles/

Getting into Looksminning. I’m going to have my nose enlarged, add some acne pits to my cheeks and see if they can do some saggy jowls.
