Good tool for a Todo list with an API (so I can hook it to some other stuff)?

The goal is actually that I’m able to hook my ticket tracking system (I’m using Zammad) to various ToDo lists I can expose to other people. I’m happy to write middleware to make that work, but I don’t want to write a whole ToDo app....

Sometimes, Stable Diffusion just straight up knows where song lyrics come from... (lemmy.starlightkel.xyz)

I upscaled the faces and then prompted them with the same lyrics again.

Are there services that can help you get your information taken down?

I'm deGoogling. What's my new Podcast app?

I’ve been warming up to switching to GrapheneOS for months. Last month I bought a Pixel 8 (which is the buggiest effing phone I’ve ever owned, good job Google). I’ve just been waiting to have the bandwidth....

So... I've been playing with LLMs and I've noticed something horrible...

Out of just morbid curiosity, I’ve been asking an uncensored LLM absolutely heinous, disgusting things. Things I don’t even want to repeat here (but I’m going to edge around them so, trigger warning if needs be)....

Just read Cinder Spires book 2 and these books are a Steampunk sequel to Stephen King's "The Mist."

No really, these books are what you get if you answer the question “What if after the Mist came, the surviving humans rebuilt a Steampunk civilization with magic airships and uplifted cats?”...

Man, Unions in America are anaemic. I REALLY wish our labor force would grow that kind of spine and stand up for each other that aggressively.

Google blocks you if they do not know about you (lemmy.ml)

It’s been some years that I am not able to log in to my Google account, because I stopped using it for a very long time any Google product, and now even providing my password, they say they can not know if it is me or now…...

Yep.

I have an old Google account from like 2012 that was a spam trap account I made back when you could easily sign up anonymously for gmail over Tor. It will not let me log into it anymore unless I connect a phone number to it. It hems and haws about how this is “for your protection” but really it’s pretty simple that your activity has no value to Google unless they can tie it to your identity and connect it to other activity and then bundle that and sell it to advertisers. (And fuck you Google, I’m not protecting that account from anyone except you… hackers are WELCOME to know I types a throwaway email into some online medical insurance shit…)

In fact, if you don’t want companies to collect your data, you’re more and more locked out of any app, service or platform that asks for a verified email. I’ve encountered things recently that won’t accept protonmail emails (and invite you to use OAuth to sign in with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter, fuck that noise).

I actually imagine that OAuth locked to a major provider FOR EVERYTHING is the future those guys would all like to see.

Moiraine Damodred and al'Lan Mandragoran (Wheel of Time) vs Geralt of Rivia and Yennefer of Vengerberg (The Witcher).

Battle takes place in a mountain valley five miles long by two miles wide. There is a ruined castle at each end of the valley and a rushing mountain stream twenty feet wide and four feet deep running through the middle. The valley is surrounded by impassible mountains on three sides and an impassibly steep cliff on the fourth...
