It's #OsloPride today, and it's harder to be queer now than a few years ago. That's why this new app coming from @fridamarida.bsky.social is so important: a map of queer friendly and safe businesses, clinics, areas and more. Oslo is stage 1, global is next. So support #queermap for #Pride!🏳️‍🌈

Queer Map: a safety map by and for queer people
The money goes to building Queer Map, a free app that shows queer and trans people where they're safe in Oslo, and warns about places that aren't. By queer people, for queer people. Always free.

This would be about as useful as simply reading the summary on the back of the book. AI CANNOT "summarize" a book or article because it cannot READ it. It does not not KNOW what it says. It only repeats what the author's abstracts and quotes already say.
