Free offline microgreens farm ledger for Windows: I replaced a spreadsheet with a local-first Tauri + Rust app

A spreadsheet let me overwrite a harvest cell. The total still looked fine. That tray was already promised. I needed a free offline farm ledger for Windows: standing orders, trays by the ounce, and books that do not live in a $30/month cloud farm app. No account. No subscription. File stays on the PC.

OpenAI and Microsoft knew they were starting a ‘doom loop’ for the web

Recently unsealed court documents in the New York Times' case against OpenAI and Microsoft are pretty damning. The companies' own documentation warned that it was starting a "doom loop" that would damage the web, characterized its scraping of data to train its models as the "largest theft of labor in human history," and that it made a "complete mockery of the idea of fair use." Many of the most eye-catching quotes from the document come from Microsoft's Director of Applied Science, Brent Hecht.
