Fuck these guys. This is beyond disgusting.

It's very, very obvious why people hate AI anything when shit like this is what you get back.
Here's a video that came up in my recommendations, very clearly made with #Suno and I wasn't going to call it out publicly until I realised that the creator deleted my comment to someone else asking if AI Was used to write it.
Now I will.
Nowhere in the description does it say this was all made with AI.
Nowhere does it say 'Yeah I just gave Suno a prompt and let it generate some banal shit.'
I have a serious, serious problem with this. It's disingenuous and the comments are full of praise for the music, and absolutely no negative comments.
If mine has been removed (which was just asking the creator to disclaim his content) then how many others have been removed too?
Full disclaimer: *I* use Suno, but I give it my material, get itt to cover it and *always* say when I've done so, no exceptions.
Fucking livid!

Following a couple of days walking around Almogía over the Christmas break, I've added 3 local signposted hiking trails to OSM.
I'm especially pleased that OSM-based outdoor maps will now show connections between the Camino Mozárabe to the east and the PR-A 293 to the west, via the summit of Santi Petri. Both were already mapped, but until now it was difficult to be sure from online information if there was a waymarked route between them.
Before and after screenshots:
Also as part of mapping these recent hikes, I've been trying out uploading some of my survey photos to #Panoramax via @MapComplete - mainly of guideposts and information boards/maps. Previously I only used this kind of photo to inform my mapping, without sharing them. But it seems kind of a waste to leave them sitting on my hard drive.
Of course the danger is that I'll now start worrying about the lighting and composition of what used to be mere throwaway survey snapshots...

Arneburg - Auch wenn die Wirtschaft stöhnt und ächzt: In und um Arneburg brummt das Geschäft. Das gilt besonders für den noch relativ neuen Markt der Großbatteriespeicher.volksstimme.de
Das "Wir bauen auf und reißen nieder // Dann ham'wer Arbeit immer wieder" nie fertiggestellte Arnobyl bekommt jetzt endlich eine vernünftige Anwendung? Hat ja lange genug gedauert. Ganze Stadtviertel sind seitdem entstanden und wieder verschwunden (Hallo, Wohngebiet Süd in Stendal! Straße ist noch da, Betonblöcke mittlerweile fast alle wieder weg. ~10.000 Menschen wohnten da – und bastelten Tagsüber am KKW. Jetzt wieder eine Wiese in Süd…)
Schön, ick freu mir! Zumindest prinzipiell 😉

Some (out of scope) fun-fact about #deltatauri: It only took me like 3 hours to get it running on #iPhone
@TauriApps is really easy for making #crossplatform apps.
Though of course the devil is in the detail, it would still need quite some native integration work to make it useable for normal users, so currently it is not a goal for us. So it won't replace our native #deltachat_ios app any time soon ;)
20% of the work for 80% of the visible result 😅
Congrats! You must know that I appreciate all you people developing FOSS.
We should make apps as light as possible. Getting rid of Electron is a major step in DeltaChat Desktop.

Easy way to solve this problem: Require more transparency.
Add cameras inside the packing areas, and make the streams publicly accessible.
the other easy way is actual consequences. Like fine that represent a sizeable amount of the intake.
But that need courage.
