I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?English
2·3 months agoAlmost all OCR tools use machine learning AFAIK, the commonly used Tesseract OCR software also uses a neural network.
It certainly isn’t AGI, but AI just means machine learning nowadays.

4·4 months agoI think they’re defederated from poorly moderated instances and therefore don’t need to ban as many users. Perhaps db0 doesn’t defederate as often?

8·4 months agoThey seemed unfamiliar with the workings of Mastodon, so it doesn’t seem like it. There doesn’t seem to be technical vision behind the proposal yet.

4·4 months agoI saw you joined it, what do you think about it so far? They mentioned non transparency of algorithms, and I feel like FOSS would help a lot for that. They also mentioned more regulation, but I’m worried that might lead to regulatory capture, disspropionately affecting smaller communities while big tech remains largely unimpacted.
Also a bit ironic they use gmail lol

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared English
282·11 months agoLet them federate with Hexbear
The HTTP response times are sometimes a little rough, but the team has managed to keep up a large part of the fediverse for the past few years. It’s impressive, and I’m happy that I ended up chosing lemmy.world after migrating from lemmy.ml.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse.English
5·1 year agoI’ve personally started creating my new communities on other instances to spread it out more. You create an alt on a fitting and reliable instance, create it there and then give control to your main account. My latest community is on mander.xyz.
I tend to pick D, the instance that is federated with most other instances so most of the interactions are visible or C.
Neat, might have to try that sometime
Are there options with lower fees? It’s not much but if people pay per view it adds up quickly.
I think something like this is going to be a necessity to make a federated video platform work.
What are the transaction fees for USDC?
Thanks for the update, good luck with your trip.

They’re hosting Nextcloud, it’s not realistic to expect them to fix/implement E2EE when the upstream project hasn’t been able to for the past few years.
Nextcloud’s E2EE support isn’t great. It does exist and is mentioned on their site but it has a lot of issues.

I’d say go ahead but make sure it produces accurate enough results and make sure to add something like [AI Transcribed] in front so people can take the potential for additional errors into consideration when reading it.
Also, if you’re using an online service make sure you’re using something that doesn’t use it as training data. Many (probably almost all) artists / photographers won’t appreciate that.
