I want a local LLM filtering my feed(s). So I really don’t need to see Elmo and Donald -related stuff.

Simple word filters don’t work, but with a LLM I might be able to make it work

And you’ll again inconvenience a human slightly as they look at a pixelated copy of a picture of a cat or some noise.

No cops are called, no accounts closed

Nope.

A human checker would get a reduced quality copy after multiple CSAM matches. No police was to be called if the human checker didn’t verify a positive match

Your idea of flooding someone with fake matches that are actually cat pics wouldn’t have worked

They were not “suspected” they had to be matches to actual CSAM.

And after that a reduced quality copy was shown to an actual human, not an AI like in Googles case.

So the false positive would slightly inconvenience a human checker for 15 seconds, not get you Swatted or your account closed

This is EXACTLY what Apple tried to do with their on-device CSAM detection, it had a ridiculous amount of safeties to protect people’s privacy and still it got shouted down

I’m interested in seeing what happens when Holy Google, for which most nerds have a blind spot, does the exact same thing

EDIT: from looking at the downvotes, it really seems that Google can do no wrong 😆 And Apple is always the bad guy in lemmy

Twitter API costs $$$ to use

Epaper refresh rates are utter shit, it’s a cool idea but not practical except for in bespoke devices like the remarkable

Bluesky with a few US politics blocklists is a decent experience.

Most small group forums have manual user validation with very specific questions.

I’ve seen stuff like “what is on the the 5th page of the user guide for this product” along with language/culture specific questions you can’t just easily google on forums that are focused on a specific area

For me the advantage of Bluesky is that I can own my identity. I can reserve [email protected] and use that, without having to run my own instance.

With Mastodon I’d have to put up a full-ass server instance and worry about federation etc just to have my “own” identity instead of [email protected] or something

So will the Italian government provide an Official List of Pirated Content or do the VPN providers need to determine it manually?

It’s $4 a month for 1GB of storage, not insane

I use this as a backup in tandem with the official sync

And the official one works every time, remotely-save just fails randomly and I need to dig through the logs to see what happened this time

$4 a month?

There are sync plugins that use git, s3, WebDAV etc. Or you can use Dropbox or google drive or iCloud or sync thing.

It’s just a bunch of markdown files and unless you edit with multiple devices at the same time it’s easy to sync

I switched from Joplin because Obisidian data is just markdown and I can edit and generate it with external apps

Joplin had a custom database system (at the time)

I use Obsidian as a tool to help my shitty memory.

I want to have one single place where I can go search for a thing I know I saw somewhere but can’t remember where or what it was exactly

“Did I watch movie X” -> Obsidian -> Watchlist -> Movies and there it’ll be.

Same for tv-series, anime, books, games. Yes there are services that do it like Trakt, Imdb, Letterboxd, TVMaze and god knows how many for games. They all get enshittified eventually requiring you to pay for basic functionality (looking at you trakt…)

I’m building a tool for getting my data out from all those services into Obsidian markdown format, maybe It’ll get finished some day :D (IMDB and Goodreads work, but you need to do a manual csv export)

“How did I install that finicky piece of software last time” -> Obsidian, I wrote something down because I knew I couldn’t remember it. Then I’ll improve the guide + refresh with new data.

Now I have a pretty good step-by step guide on how to set up a computer, no matter the OS, just how I like it - all in Obsidian. Mostly just commands I copy-paste and some manual steps that I can’t be arsed to automate.

Same with my daily notes, I just write down what I did maybe with some tags so I can find them when I start wondering when did I visit X or put up the curtains in the bedroom.

I just paid for the sync 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s $4 a month, I drink one beer less a month and I actually save 3€ 😀

I “could”, but it’s still a ton harder than just clicking “buy next book in series”

TBH it’s easier to plug calibre-web as a store in Kobo and just “acquire” all the books in all the series from … sources. Then you get the one click downloads easily 🤓

Yep, but it’s not something I can do with one click on the sofa, which was my original point

I’ve tried the Kobo store (sold my Kindle and got a Libra 2 Color), but the selection is a bit lacking.

Some books just don’t exist there, which means I can’t just click and buy the next one from the Kobo UI.
