Another candidate is Google AI Edge Gallery with different models, chat, ask questions with images and audio clip, explore prompts, and more.

The installation of the latest APK from GitHub was easy, but after everything I found was very complicated and not privacy friendly. You have to register and assign the device to the models to #huggingface, to #Google .... I don't know if anybody else has experience with that.

Thanks for your article. It made me browse the F-Droid store for some AI stuff. Still not using it but interested in it. Voice recognition/transcription could be handy.

After a round of testing and tweaks, a new version of #Vernissage has been deployed to vernissage.photos! ๐ŸŽ‰

This update adds a new feature for authors and moderators: the ability to view ActivityPub events. Now you can easily check where a specific event, like creating, updating, or liking a post, was sent. If everything works smoothly, the official release will go live before the weekend, and weโ€™ll move on to the next exciting items in the queue. ๐Ÿš€

This is very useful, but won't the amount of data get a bit out hand over time?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron It really depends on the size of the instance ๐Ÿ˜‰. The data growth is definitely something worth keeping an eye on. In the future, it might be possible to clean up older entries if needed. For now, though, this is very helpful for me to track potential issues and to provide explanations for why something didnโ€™t show up as expected.

I really, *really* hate film rebranding/repackaging. It's just an utter scam.

@Gargron my favourite is when you see people (mostly bloggers, it must be said) praising one film while trashing another, seemingly completely oblivious that it's the exact same film stock with different branding.

A native version would be fantastic. Great for comparing native Linux with Proton. I think I'll definitely have to buy BG3 if this really happens.

Soon, #DeltaChat enters the ring. It seems that they are using their internal peer-to-peer technology which is also used for their webxdc apps. This experimental feature is currently available in a branch on GitHub for Android.

He's hoping by saying outrageous things that he can get a nice advance from a publisher on his next book deal. Remember, Fox News is a business, and the purpose of that business is to generate profit. It drives everything they do.
