I just remembered this site which I have previously used to download the latest apk directly from Play Store for sideloading purposes.

https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

I’ll probably keep on using it for quickly obtaining the latest apk from Play Store in situations where the anonymous Aurora accounts are being rate limited or something like that, if the app is urgently needed.

If all you need from the public transport apps is routing and directions, maybe Transportr or Öffi could be the replacement you need.

Tested the demo. In my brief experience it pretty precisely described the images I uploaded while also adhering to the settings and instructions. Nice!

I use airvpn for torrents but depending on your European country you might not be able to.

Why would it not be an option in some countries? Are you saying it’s illegal or impossible to encrypt any traffic through a VPN while being in some of the countries, or what’s the matter?

Thank you. I just found this additional info on huggingface:

An NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support is required.

• The model is tested on a single 80G GPU.
• Minimum: The minimum GPU memory required is 60GB for 720p.
• Recommended: We recommend using a GPU with 80GB of memory for better generation quality.

Wont they take your money before the VPN is disabled/undetected?

Not choosing to vote […] is endorsing the establishment.

Where is the logic in that? By voting you’re actively acknowledging the legitimacy of the State. How would not voting be an endorsement of anything, as you see it?

This looks great! Any idea of realistic hardware requirements?

Do you see installing a .dmg file (or installing through homebrew) on macOS as a workaround, or what do you mean? I’m not sure I have ever installed a single app from their store, so maybe it’s just that such a “workaround” feels normal to me, but scary to others?

Why use the App Store for that? https://librewolf.net/installation/macos/

Red Pavilion with Pool

Or red pool with pavilion? Hmmm…

Have you been using Postiz? I’m curious about their built-in AI features, but haven’t been able to find more info on it. Do you happen to know how they implemented it, and is it actually useful? Is it running local models on the server for text and image generation, or is it calling some proprietary APIs for that?

For route finding, what about GraphHopper Maps?

I installed this by adding the github URL to Obtainium. It was very easy to set up, and worked fine in my brief testing. Thanks for the recommendation.

Is the SoMe tool you thought of the one called Postiz, or the paid one called Mixpost? Or something else?

MacOS uses the APFS file system format nowadays, and used HFS+ before that. FAT and ExFAT formats are supported too. However, the NTFS format needs third party software to work.

The very newly released Deepseek R1 “reasoning model” from China beats OpenAI’s o1 model on multiple areas, it seems – and you can even see all the steps of the pre-answering “thinking” that’s hidden from the user in o1. It’s a huge model, but it (and the paper about it) will probably positively impact future “open source” models in general, now the “thinking” cat’s outta the bag. Though, it can’t think about Tiananmen Square or Taiwan’s autonomy – but many derivative models will probably be modified to effectively remove such Chinese censorship.

Do you know, is this another tax additional to “blankmedieafgiften” (“blank media tax” or “private copying levy”), or is it the same tax under a different name?
