There is also NGI Sargasso which had EU grants being awarded to collaborations between parties in the EU and the US, working on internet innovation projects. Looks like that funding program has closed. Not sure if these open calls were slashed by the Trump government.
Just installed. It looks very neat, but I wonder how accurate the compass is. I am in a train now on a completely straight track and I get compass deviation of >60° as if the train is making curves all the time. OpenStreetmap places me in New York instead of Netherlands.
MBCompass uses sensor fusion for accuracy, combining sensor data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer.
It is one of the most accurate compass apps. Don't trust my words, try it with different apps on Google Play and with some FOSS options like Compass by Philip Bobek: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.bobek.compass
And importantly, for true compass accuracy, I'd recommend you use the "true north" (magnetic declination) function, which requires location access. It takes some time to lock GNSS hold (the same goes for the current location button on the map view, default map location is Paris, France), but if you're moving, it locks pretty quickly and shows your current location with tracking (if you're moving.)
Yep, if it were close to the power line, it might cause accuracy loss, but you can obviously easily find the compass accuracy in the top app bar, and if it goes 'very low', the alert dialog automatically popsup to notify you to recalibrate it.
Now here's a type-safe functional programming language I recently bumped into, which with their focus on simplicity, ease of use, and developer experience, and compiling to either Erlang or Javascript, is really tempting to delve in deeper.
The videos too. Geopolitical commentators cannot show e.g. an explosion in Ukraine caused by a drone, and they say "T" instead of "terrorist", and "kaboomed" instead of "killed", etc. Doing so may see the vid demonetized or even taken down.
OTOH deep fake gepolitical commentators are all over the place, and it is allowed (sometimes Youtube shows a label, sometimes the channel itself describes itself as a "fan channel" of the commentator, and not the real deal. Sometimes e.g. for Shorts you can see in the info whether things are AI generated).
Isn't is similar to Carter being depicted as a 'weak president' because he had more progressive ideas than an average US president, which make similar amount of sense.. and hence best ridiculed as a threat to "greed is good" prevailing ethos.
He was depicted as weak because during his time an entire US embassy was held hostage in Iran for more than a year. Couple that with inflation reaching 14.8% and now you understand why.
> I saw a video I wanted to share with someone, but it was part of a compilation. So you just search for it, right?
There's something with these compilations. Almost as if deliberately AI slop is mixed in to numb the public to it, or for some AI startup to testdrive on an unaware public how good their stuff is.
Take compilations of lightning strikes for instance. There's always a couple that are just too spectacular or just unbelievably. Like a ball lightning going across the street.
It’s mostly content farms based out of Asia - Vietnam, India, Bangladesh etc pumping out these stuff to make a quick buck. It’s like 5 min crafts but now easier and faster due to AI and no personal overheads.
Cats getting totally excited to see their owner, because they dearly missed them. Cats filmed in night cam dropping weird animals from the forest on sleeping boss. Olympic athletes, gorgeous, but not real. Countless disasters where people die, generated. Youtube shorts is a pile of steaming garbage. As long as it sells, your brain may rot.
Worst are imho on the regular long vids side, the geopolitical advisor deep fakes, giving background to the news. Some with well over a million followers. Many of those have the same "we are a fan of the real person" disclaimer, many have no disclaimer.
And no one in the comments, of which many look fake too, notices it is AI. That is the most scary part.

Many who notice won't bother commenting, because most who notice know how pointless that is (counterproductive in fact: a comment is an interaction, any interaction is a positive for the "content"). Those that do notice and comment are either drowned out by
• those too numbed on the brain to care, let alone notice, who lap it up, and praise it
• bots (either those being used to interact with the clip to drive it's interactions counters, or more general spam bots)
or if there is anyone/anybot monitoring the negative comments are removed.
