Hey hello. I've been trying to find a way to stay up to date with things without being dependent on any platforms.

By running my newsletters through local AI I could get a decent event calendar for myself. By collaborating when checking the result I can get around some of the shortcomings with AI.

I like thinking of newsletters as a potential source of data. Not entirely public, not private either. Suitable for some local context, perhaps. Newsletters are also generally nice: Low tech, easy, distributed, basic sense of the audience, etc.
