If this was me, and I used to just keep a notebook of the wines I liked, there’s a couple ways to go about this.

Edit: in the Fdroid store theres an app named Cavity (terrible name) or Wine cellar that might be what you want for your own wine tracking.

Info on new wines is simply not going to come for free (or “free”) bundled in an app unless you make it yourself. But wines you try is a much easier thing to track. If you can just accept they need to be 2 different things, it an easier task.

IMO, what you want is to create and self host a survey that let’s you easily and quickly enter year, location, attributes, photo of the label, notes, etc. Depending on how granular you get with flavors and tasting attributes, you could get in a groove and log a wine with dizzy thumbs and low light in a minute or two. Then you just decide where that data lives, and how to get it back into a spreadsheet or SQL db to search it.

You could do most of this in a Google form/sheet, though you’ll simply get nagged and tracked later in more subtle ways.

I’ll be real honest, I suggest you ask ChatGPT on options, and suggest things like you want to build a survey in HTML (it’ll do this for you) that lives on a device and is bookmarked for easy access, sends data to, let’s say a Dropbox file you access with an API, and you use another HTML page you save locally to search.

For real, let us know how it goes, because I would all get some use from this.

2018-2019 is when they officially turned the corner and decided to focus only on ad revenue. But the SEO abuse dove it into the ground by 2014ish. They were making money enough to expand by orders of magnitude into other areas, so they simply didn’t want to tweak their search or strategy and kill their golden goose that funded things like Good Drive and their shit social network and loon, etc.

It is, but it’s a use case that has a shitload of money behind it.

Do you know why we have had reliable e-commerce since 1999? Porn websites. That was the use case that pushed credit card acceptance online.

The demand is so huge that firms would rather stumble a bit at first to save huge amounts for a bad but barely sub-par UX.

Brace yourselves for being told on MSN and Yahoo about the hottest new toy this Xmas! If you don’t buy it, you might be arrested for child abuse!

Anyone know what Linux distro? I assume Ubuntu…

Yes, from a general misunderstanding of how microwave ovens work, and what “radiation” was during the 1960s and 70s.

Sorry if it seemed smug at all. The “My my” was more being happy that the Fdroid app repo is pulling it’s weight and a valuable resource that fascists seem to over look.

My, my. Look at all the open source, privacy focused period trackers in the Fdroid store.

Can’t happen fast enough.

Yes, but no one checks the legality of cheap Chinese devices from Amazon.

Shodan.io is the searchable index of open IoT devices.

Not me, but my spouse. I love all the rugs they pick, we always agree, but I can’t match or really even understand the excitement.

But if it’s shopping for food in an open green market, sign me the fuck up.

Indeed I did! Thanks

F. This will be moved to an OSINT tool within a week, and scraped into a darkweb database by next Friday.

So you’re saying this is the outline of a square in the astral plane? Because it sounds like you’re saying this is a square in the astral plane.

Hey, I failed the highest level of calculus possible. Twice.

…and a square has four interior 90 degree angles.

…and based on the infinite number of sides for a curved line aspect, the “90 degree” angles would all be +/- the limit as it approaches zero, so never truly 90 degrees but always an infinite fraction away.

I’m a moderate user for code. LLMs are not smart, they’re pattern machines. Anyone who cedes critical thinking to them without due diligence, gets what they deserve, and likely didn’t really have much in the way of critical thought in the first place.

These companies are all trying to figure out how to monetize their latest juked benchmark stat and create something with actual value equivalent to the billions in investment they’ve thrown into processing. The industry is awash in startups dong the same thing 90000 ways. Human lust for money and power is the most nefarious thing about it all.

Honestly, unless there’s a shared currency to keep afloat, regional bodies like this are always a tentative benefit at best. Especially in this neighborhood.

Rwanda is orders of magnitude more just a normal, functional country than DRC.

Because it’s a fear-mongering angle that still sells. AI has been a vehicle for scifi for so long that trying to convince Boomers that of won’t kill us all is the hard part.

I’m a moderate user for code and skeptic of LLM abilities, but 5 years from now when we are leveraging ML models for groundbreaking science and haven’t been nuked by SkyNet, all of this will look quaint and silly.
