Just learnt that Nextcloud doesn't have an option to disable certain apps for particular users unless we create groups and groups are not recommended by the community.

This is a hassle when using Nextcloud as the family's cloud provider, Not everyone is comfortable with the Nextcloud apps and

India's think tanks double up as lobbyists, give no disclosures. Hurt policymaking
Many 'independent' reports, intended to shape policies, are sponsored by industry groups or entities with deep pockets and vested interests. This process must become transparent.

DIY Folks from India, what kind of indoor air quality monitoring system do you use? I’m looking for something which works with Home Assistant and preferably without battery or with battery bypass when connected to power.

Sigh, the guilt I feel when asking for help is so overwhelming that I have to make sure I offer something in return.

So maybe check the links and pick something up.

I have nothing against Python programming language personally but I'm loosing my 💩 every time I see a python application getting bottle-necked because its using a single CPU process; Especially when its a Machine Learning application, as the developers put tremendous effort in optimizing the ML\

Out of these animations I created one manually then I realized life as a person with disabilities is time-constrained as is and so others were AI generated using both local and cloud models such as FramePack, Wan2.2, Hailuo_AI (not in order).

It's 2025 and its still a mystery on what kind encoding should a video file be to be able to played across all browsers using HTML video tag.

Oh mp4/h264 will be handled automatically they say, but never have I had success in getting the mp4 file to play across all browsers and Operating Systems.

Are you second guessing yourself more often these days?

It could be because you've become so dependent upon AI that you're forgetting your hard earned skills.

Use Memory Hammer's AI (memoryhammer.com) to retain and build new skills instead of loosing them.

I strongly believe WebGPU is the answer for many of the issues plaguing AI now from monopoly of Nvidia in compute, data & privacy to environmental impact of the massive data centers for AI.

If you're on Linux and you care about Audio then I highly recommend EasyEffects (an equalizer SW) - github.com/wwmm/easyeff... ; it's likely someone has already made a preset for your laptop/setup so all you need to do is import it.

It's better than Dolby Atmos IMO.
