If you really wanted to leave the Apple eco-system, it would most likely be possible to run macos in an emulator (kvm/qemu) on a pc and most likely the software too.
forget me not, i think on f-droid may be an option. it's fairly easy to make data files for, and you could easily ask your favourite llm to wrap some data into the format.
Small razor blade cut to the ear. If you know any security personnel, you'll know they're very alert, there's a plan, and it's immediately kicked into force when the slightest thing goes awry. That plan would not be stand around looking confused protecting his body but exposing his head for photo opportunities after an alleged attempt at a head shot. That was very clearly staged.

Genuinely surprised this doesn't exist.
Most of what you want already exist in tons of simple php scripts that will take a directory and present each directory as a gallery. The live transcoding thing is something you can always add, because ya know, the majority of servers do not have GPUs.
Would you be able to trigger it using something like nfc actions, so you'd only have to swipe an nfc tag and it'd start copying automatically? In which case, a few cheap nfc stickers from china, throw them about the house / apt and then carry on with your life.
And have you ever read the forms? I don’t know if writing the software could be seen as tax advice or filing on behalf of someone.
Who would use the software if it didn't suggest ways to save them money, which would then take on the burden of actually being legally correct? UK tax accounts can be submitted directly to the government which requires an additional level of checks by them. Accounting is relatively simple to understand for UK accounting... until it isn't. It becomes very complicated, very quickly, and that dramatically alters the database schema, alters workflows, and this stuff can be in a constant state of flux. Corporate accountancy laws are very different to personal tax accounting, and keeping abreast of both situations can be very difficult to manage.
I spoke to a person representing a fairly small commercial accounting SaaS who said they specifically only target high-net-worth companies who can afford to pay the prices they need to turn a profit, and that's why they put on silly fake award shows (my words) for people within these companies (mostly c-suite people) to placate them into spending more money with them.
Doesn't sound good now does it? No one will take that responsibility for free.
So people driving cybertrucks is somehow making things go to shit? Or is it actually the actions or the world's richest man and his sidekick that has nothing to do with Mr Smith who drives a cybertruck?

And it's crap like this that gives junior programmers justification to output god-awful code because they don't want to better themselves.
