 Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you know any independent written news sources?English
3·11 months agoI specified written. Independent news commentators are everywhere since video format is still a profitable model, but they all rely on written news sources or random social media posts.

 Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Postiz (v1.6.6) - open-source social media scheduling toolEnglish
11·1 year agoSince you deleted your post on !opensource@programming.dev, reposting my comment.
Another AI project that will probably be dead in a few months. Also open core not open source as many of the features are not available via self-hosted version.
Self-hosted version which source is available and hosted-version which is not public, are not the same. Or at the very least, planned to not be the same by your own admission as you talked publically about planning on adding paid-only features to hosted version.
Take out “AI features” and you are left with nothing, so yeah, AI project… It also relies on proprietary AI models that you don’t own, so it can stop working at any point and that would be out of your control.

 Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Hot Take: Lemmy communities should function similar to hashtags on Mastodon.English
38·1 year agoYour proposal seems to target the same issues as with multi-community support https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818, which just got 6000€ funding from NLnet. Which seems to be a cleaner way of achieving the same goal.
Some suggested points are also against ActivityPub standard.

 Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Current discussion about post deduplication, should posts be hidden inside a community?English
2·1 year agoIt is. Different clients handle it differently. If you note, the repository where the request is made is for lemmy-ui, not lemmy backend.
E.g. Photon shows a single item with a dropdown to expand matching posts if they were posted at the same, which is common with cross-posts on All, Local, Subscribed feeds.
And then it lists all cross-posts on individual pages in a neat list with stats like votes, number of comments, etc.

 Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Google sends emails that 100% look like phishingEnglish
44·1 year agoA good rule of thumb is to never click on links in emails. Always go to the domain manually.
Consider what we used as currency before it was currency. You would have to barter before, which was inefficient. Common currency saves you and everyone involved time. Instead of having to barter for every item, which would also require you to do carry all of those items, you can just pay with currency now.

 No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?English
13510·2 years agoFrom what I have seen, it more stems from the activism vegans are engaged in more than the actual veganism.

 Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•More and more lately, I see more large companies in hot water for another significant data breach (Dropbox, AT&T). Will this become the norm?English
32·2 years agoIt was always happening and at a large scale, it’s just there are new reporting requirements now, which leads to more nonspecialized publications to cover it more often.
Blame gamers for embracing every single greedy move and asking for more. If you shout how fucked up this is and still open your wallet, you are the problem.

 Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do we think about the new DDG AI Chat feature?English
11·2 years agoYou are missing the point. You don’t have to become a subject expert to verify the information. Not all sources are the same, some are incorrect on purpose, some are incorrect due to lax standards. As a thinking human being, you can decide to trust one source over the other. But LLMs sees all the information they are trained on as 100% correct. So it can generate factually incorrect information while believing what it provided you are 100% factually correct.
Using LLMs as a shortcut to find something is like playing a Russian roulette, you might get correct information 5 out of 6 times, but that one time is guaranteed to be incorrect.

 Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do we think about the new DDG AI Chat feature?English
172·2 years agoUseless. Unless you are dumb enough to trust the result without verifying it yourself. And if you do verify it, at that point you spend more time than just doing a regular search.

 Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?English
2·2 years agoAll platforms that don’t have public API access will require a way to relay that information, but I was talking about the difference in how the messages are relayed. Matrix bridges work fundamentally on each platform/protocol having its own room and relaying the messages through the bridged room instead of the user as XMPP does. That’s why you can relay the same messages to multiple rooms on Matrix, but can’t do the same on XMPP.

 Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?English
5·2 years agoWhy is JSON better than XML? It’s more modern, sure, but from technical perspective it is not objectively better right? Not something worth switching protocols for.
XML is unnecessarily complicated. By trying to cram everything into the spec, it’s cumbersome and hard to parse.
You mention XMPP has transports as opposed to Matrix bridges. I thought they give you roughly the same outcome. What’s the difference?
The goal is the same, but the way they archive that is different. For transport to work, you need an account on each platform you are using the transport on. It relays the messages through that account by mimicking the client. While bridges work by relaying the messages between rooms and not specific users.
My understanding is limited, so if you are interested, please do your own research.
