This is a really interesting project and thanks for sharing these tech details! Are you guys working on an iOS app yet? Would love to give it a try.

I've been using LMStudio to run a local LLM (Qwen3-4B) to generate commit messages using this command:

```

git diff --staged --diff-filter=ACMRTUXB | jq -Rs --arg prompt 'You are an assistant that writes concise, conventional commit messages. Always start with one of these verbs: feat, fix, chore, docs, style, refactor, test, perf. Write a short!! message describing the following diff:' '{model:"qwen/qwen3-4b-2507", input:($prompt + "\n\n" + .)}' | curl -s http://localhost:1234/v1/responses -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @- | jq -r ".output[0].content[0].text"

```

Apple shortcuts allows you to use OCR on images you pass into it. Looking for “ Extract Text from Image”

Love the setup. I’m sure one can make this using Apple shortcuts too since there’s a Shazam api offered in it.

Use teller.io, it’s super easy to setup imo (compared to Plaid). I use it to sync my chase bank + credit card statements on a gsheet.

I’m firm on my claim that they were imperial wars, but we can lay that to the side.

I’m not sure what else you’re suggesting such a power do? Let the oppositional force just take everything?

This is precisely my problem. If the US/West wants to maintain a moral high ground by claiming that their “freedom” and values are simply the best and everyone needs them, then why is there an incessant need to subjugate? There is no moral high ground with continuously destabilizing countries and making half the world’s life a living hell.

I’m happy to talk about the actual realities of geopolitics. Of course the US wants to maintain control, but that desire is a not a “moral” one.

people seem to talk about it as if the US was acting in a vacuum

The Cold War ended more than 30 years ago, yet the same “interventionism” continues? This is isn’t ancient history, we fought two whole imperial wars since the with the same exact thought process without the USSR even existing anymore.

I don’t deny that there was some kind of context to American imperialism and I have no interest in whitewashing what the Soviets were doing. But to say that these “interventions” were a purely defensive/reactionary measure against communism is silly, the US has a vested interest in protecting its hegemony control. It’s that simple.

The point the parent comment made still stands, why did the US fund so many coups/regime changes up until the modern day? Your answer as to why seems to be “communism is antidemocratic and authoritarian”.

If that’s the case, why were so many Western backed regimes also antidemocratic and authoritarian?

What an incredible mask-off moment. The war mongering coming from this man is insane, I still don’t get why these people even bother to say they “care about democracy” when it’s clearly a lie.

He says China is “lost” or whatever, simply because the West has been unable to control the country in the same way they have done with Korea, Japan, Taiwan, etc.

I hate these people that justify barbarism and imperialism as a means to a “greater good.” It has “white man’s burden” written all over it.

I dont know why Im being "condescending" by attempting to analyze the claim here that: "Israel cannot be called a colonizer"

But calling Israeli Jews settlers -- especially within the UN Green Line! -- is terribly inflammatory, and not particularly accurate.

You brought this point back, even though I was willing to forgo it. I explicitly mentioned settlers illegally in the West Bank.
