Grist attachment viewer widget

I’m really surprised that there’s no built-in custom widget for viewing attachments. It was easy enough for ChatGPT to make one for me with the Custom Widget Builder, but given the existence of the image viewer widget, it seems like something like this should be built-in.

Finally took the plunge on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra… in 2025. At ₱41,490 (down from its ₱84,990 launch price), the 18-month wait was worth it. Still flagship specs, but at half the cost.

@daj I’m just wondering if that’s normal. Apparently it is. Thanks.

From Senate website: web.senate.gov.ph/∞

Senator Bam Aquino filed Senate Bill No. 1330 to establish a National Budget Blockchain System that will make every peso of public funds traceable, transparent, and auditable in real time. The measure tasks DICT, DBM, and COA to create a blockchain-based system with a public portal, enabling citizens and oversight bodies to monitor budget allocations and prevent hidden or fraudulent projects.

Oh great, because what the national budget really needs is a sprinkling of blockchain magic—surely the same tech behind rug pulls, pump-and-dumps, and “decentralized” scams will finally fix government accountability.
