I don’t do anything too sophisticated, just something like:

Scan this image of a recipe and format it as JSON that conforms to the schema defined at https://schema.org/Recipe.

Sometimes it puts placeholders in that aren’t valid JSON, so I don’t have it fully automated… But it’s good enough for my needs.

I’ve thought that the various Nextcloud cookbook apps should do this for sites that don’t have the recipe object… But I don’t feel motivated to implement this myself.

I take pictures of my recipe books and ask ChatGPT to scan and convert them to the schema.org recipe format so I can import them into my Nextcloud cookbook.

Nope, it’s all done on device with local machine learning models.

Because users value usability over privacy.

The major thing that make Mastodon unusable is lack of users. That and lack of algorithmic feeds.

That’s a good point. The original question was why would someone pick blenny Bluesky over mastodon? You just hit the nail on the head.

It’s because the vast majority of users value features and usability much higher than privacy.

Everyone pays for not using nuclear too, a thousand fold more so.

I just bought a drive from them last month (from Canada) and just received a $60 duty bill. The time before that I got nothing. YMMV

Percentage wise, I’m sure support is very high. But for a petition like this, I’d be shocked if even 0.01% percent of people have even heard of it.

Personally, I support the petition (obviously) and wish it could have succeeded. But even I think that in the grand scheme of all the problems in the world, this is very far down my wishlist.

I think we’re about 8ft? I’ve heard there’s no minimum really. Basically you don’t want to have to physically turn your head to see either side… But beyond that the closer you are the better you see the picture.

Aiui the distance thing was more back in the day where if you sat too close you’d notice pixels. But with modern resolutions that’s not a problem anymore.

If you’re patient and can go over budget, an OLED might not be totally out of reach. I snagged a 77” OLED for ~1600 USD earlier this summer (refurb from third party reseller). You might be able to find one close to your budget if you drop down the size a bit.
