That's my biggest issue with AI. Now all the APIs want me to pay to use them. Originally the API was an incentive to get engineers to build features for their sites without having to pay them. The engineers get data they need to build their thing and the company providing the API gets free product features and user acquisition. It was mostly a fair trade. Now the companies see a few other companies using that data to train API and make a fortune so their reaction is to charge a fortune for the API. Totally disregarding the previous arrangement. If you are an engineer working on something unrelated to AI you are basically shut down from using any APIs that provide useful data. Everything is locked down now when it once was open. It's so sad. It makes learning more restrictive

Nothing if you do it yourself but someone else doing it without your permission and making tons of money off of it and not sharing it isn't very cool so this is nice.

Is there an open source period tracker that you have contributed to?

Assuming you mount it on the back of something that would probably be a pretty good place.

I use a lot of mini Linux computers and mount them to the back of monitors. I could see this design being perfect for that except it's way more expensive lol

I bought it so I could use it though. The ai can buy it's own computer to use!

I think it would take off if Facebook wasn't involved

I don't use an ad blocker anymore but I do pay for a bunch of services and I always pick ad free. I never see ads really.

If I were to use an ad blocker I would set up a pie hole or similar. I had that before and it worked pretty well but with the server side ads on YouTube you would still see those.
