Hi, I do it the same way.

Did you write your own XMPP plugin, or did you use pi-xmpp package?

I made the Progressive Image Viewer Tool a few years ago. You can drop any image into it to simulate loading.

Most F-Droid apps are built from source. A link to Google Play may point to a newer version that has changed and could contain undesirable behavior.

Is it used for surveillance?

I live here. Few facts: normal salary €1000 per month; houses €150–200–300k; house prices are rising because of foreign investors; seasonal workers from the philippines earn €500+ per month.

Officially, it's a 6-day working week - 48 hours (!)

The tourism economy requires only cheap labour, ideally buying all the properties and bringing in seasonal workers. That's sad.

I hope one day, it will no longer be normal - it will be wild.

Thanks for link!

People have solved major problems with technology: 5% of farmers can feed the world. There are no real visible challenges now. All problems are made to keep people on their toes to keep them moving. Otherwise, the heat death of the universe will come for humanity.

If "things" are considered as content too, TikTok users will use them, even though the videos on TikTok will be generated with AI.

Google Search seems like a finished product that has been making money for years without much investment in research. AI chat systems, however, are currently spending heavily on research and development, and it's unclear what the final product will look like or how AI will generate revenue in the end.

Interesting idea that Google Search will be the backend for ai chats.

Many AI services and crawlers scan sites more intensively than Google Search. I've seen this myself in Google Analytics.

Good specialist engineers designed gas chambers in Nazi Germany

Thank you for the answers! Many years ago, in university, I made a magnetic compass without using ready-made chips. This topic brings back memories for me. This year, I’ll definitely experiment in my free time, as a hobby, trying to bend the magnetic field. :-)

My futuristic variant is that around a static magnet there are sections of coils (or a magnetic screens with a Foucault current) with compensation of the magnetic field in the opposite direction.

My last guess before going to bed was that there are three electromagnets facing different directions. They turn on one after another. The magnetic sensor measures each value over synced time. The software calculates the triangulation from these values.

Do you mechanically rotate a large neodymium magnet?

Hello, interesting project! I scrolled through the pages of the site and read the patent, but it is still unclear to me: does the base station rotate the magnetic field (rotates a permanent magnet) or generate electromagnetic fields in different directions, or is the magnetic field of a static permanent magnet somehow overlapping in different directions 1000 times per second?

ps I won't sleep tonight until I understand how it works. :-)
