Good news, pals! My anxiety was for nothing and the doctor is totally cool with me changing to bicalutamide instead of spiro. It will cost a fair bit more but will mean far fewer side effects.

barnes and noble used an AI to generate new covers for classic books, but used descriptions in the texts to algorithmically generate "people of color" for these new covers

this is SO creepy and has horrifying implications for AI replacing POC in general (who needs to hear the stories and experiences of actual people of color when you can build a bot to do it for you*)

CJDNS and Yggdrasil seem like cool projects. Too bad their documentation is insufficient to reach my level of unix networking knowledge to do anything with them on macOS. I can run Yggdrasil and connect to a public peer, but I have no idea how to make Mac use the tun adapter for actual networking.

At least it seems that both Yate (app I manage library metadata from) and Synology DS Audio (what I use to play from other devices) work correctly. Maybe when I finally upgrade my phone to one with 120GB spare storage for my library, I can just use that app with its offline download ability and ditch the Walkman.
Still not sure whether moOde (raspi network audio device) supports them simply. I'm still battling its occasional Samba tantrums as it is.
