I hate writing repetitive hashtags, but I love how they help discovery. I built a system where I can define my location & date style—like "Tokyo, Japan 2024"—and have the AI handle the boring formatting while I write the story. Best of both worlds. #Automation #Fediverse https://fediversestudio.zero.vedfolnir.org #AltText #Accessibility #SocialMedia

Because my Mastodon feed still shows me content in languages other than English and/or Malay, I think I will soon find ways to get a translation API and configure my instance to be able to translate any posts on my feed.

What are your pain points, folks? Stuff that you hate doing or dealing with, or problems you can't find a good solution to? Stuff that other people might be frustrated with, too.

I'm looking for a way to make myself valuable to other people, as a way to both help people and also earn an income to feed my family in the process.

One thing I can do *really well* is create reliable software to automate rote tasks, generate financial/statistical/other reports, or calculate difficult solutions. Think it can't be done without LLMs? I might surprise you!

Throw me a bone!

Please boost for reach!
