The Beehaw maintainers already said they plan to move to something else, as when they complained about unimplemented moderation features the devs acted like douchebags and outright told them to leave the platform if they didn’t like it, when they move on from Lemmy i will follow them to whatever they move to, hopefully still on Fedi

You assume they give a fuck

How the hell does he do so much? 😄

I recall somebody’s working on actual, E2EE Mastodon DMs, but couldn’t give you details, i guess when it’s ready we’ll know when people start using it

• “Are the employees gonna see a cent of this?”

• “Fuck, no!”

I don’t want an LLM to chat with or whatever folks do with those things, i want a command i can just install, i call the binary on a terminal window with an image of some sort as a parameter, it returns a single phrase describing the image, on a typical office machine with no significant GPU and zero internet access.

Right now i cannot do this as far as i know. Pointing me at some LLM and “Go build yourself something with that” is the direct opposite of what i stated that i desire. So, it doesn’t currently seem to exist, that’s why i stated that i wished somebody ripped it off the Firefox source and made it a standalone command.

Since it’s been mentioned a lot this week because of these changes, here’s David Revoy’s guide to a fully FOSS professional digital painting setup, not perfect because many, MANY things aren’t working as they should yet (both the move to Wayland and to Appimage/Flatpak have complicated things and lots is broken), but he guides you to a setup that works today.

There’s also the option of different commercial stuff (The Affinity suite, DaVinci products, etc.), but i’m a bit biased

So, it’s possible to build but no one has made it yet? Because i have negative interest in messing with that kinda tech, and would rather just “apt-get install whatever-image-describing-gizmo” so i wouldn’t be the one who does it

Now i want this standalone in a commandline binary, take an image and give me a single phrase description (gut feeling says this already exists but depending on Teh Cloudz and OpenAI, not fully local on-device for non-GPU-powered computers)

Good old Scunthorpe problem

Yes

Wait, it supports bangs? That’s the #1 thing that keeps me specifically with DDG, once i have some time i’ll have to explore this (probably not earlier than a couple weeks though)

Thanks!

If you remember please let us know 👍

Yeah, i was not necessarily looking for a hosting by the project devs, just seeing if there was some company offering managed hosting like masto.host and others do for Mastodon and so on, i have a general idea how much would it cost to have managed Mastodon and was curious about other Fedi options for this

If i were so inclined, is there recommended managed GoToSocial hosting somewhere?

Guessing from other comments, looks like annoying and unusually common issues using Matrix

Had a longer answer that went away for some reason 😭

Your criticism is fair, but:

• Using the email as a seed on the generator goes halfway there, here’s an example, although of course it could never change
• Centralizing the avatar opens that service up to be grabbed for tracking like Gravatar did, or breaking the security of a site by injecting code without the consent of the site owner. The usual tradeoff between security/privacy and convenience.

Would be good to have a good user-managed way to do the same (well, beyond using an image on your own hosting, i guess)

Dammit yes! Mandatory shot out to David Revoy and his replacements of it (and the blog post where he mentions how he divested himself of CDNs).

Bought by Automattic? After they non-consensually took all of Tumblr and hosted Wordpress to train AI? And after their big boss revealed his transphobia? I guess i’ll skip this one
