MrBurrito··on Zotero for Android available for beta tests
Very well I would say (20gb and counting). More importantly: Zotero is the only one that does Web scraping correctly. If you are looking at a paywalled article, it will capture your DOM from the browser, so you get what you are looking at. DevonThink and many others choke at paywalled content because they try to access the content independently.

Last but not least: thanks to the developers for the latest updates that bring zotero to a more modern experience. The iOS app specifically is awesome!

MrBurrito··on PayPal has restricted our account after we invoiced a key containing “ALEP”
One point that makes this important for me: this is not a random guy with a questionable business trying to smear paypal, as far as I can tell, these are the real developers of LittleSnitch, a well known, established development team in the EU.
MrBurrito··on Adobe Lightroom uses photos for AI training by default
I disagree (but also, IANAL). They use the private images to train their models. Means the image is part of a data set, and this is subject to licensing. The image is however part of your private collection, so the license, besides the wording in the privacy page, is sketchy at best. Also, it will collide with GDPR and CCPA rules on data processing. Data models are subject to licensing too, and using images without proper licenses “poisons the well”.

AFAIK, using these images for training without proper consent makes the resulting dataset and model legally problematic.
