lemann,

One of the early things I learned when I first coded for accessibility was to not try to make a separate “Accessible version/mode” of a site

This. It's so easy now, especially with HTML5, to make an accessible website. When I redesigned my personal website it was ridiculously easy to make it accessible, testing tab navigation, devtools accessibility checks, a screen reader and webaim's site to verify that each page was structured in a sensible way. I don't have any impairments to validate how useful these would be, but it took comparatively not much time ensuring the best effort was put forward in making the site accessible.

I can't see why Reddit, a company with people paid to work on the site and app, hasn't already done it. Empty responses such as "we can do better" and failing to engage with the communities on their platform that rely on their APIs to make Reddit accessible to all (such as those with volunteers transcribing content for blind users) just lays it bare that Reddit doesn't actually care

lemann,

Nice work from these guys. I wonder how the open source reproduction compares side-by-side to the original LLaMA model...

lemann,

A lot of the arguments on that subreddit seem agenda driven from my perspective. While there are real concerns (user data sent and stored outside of Europe, right to be forgotten as mentioned by another user) the people there seem really fixated on the developers specifically and their beliefs, as well as deletion of user data.

If any one of the users there put their money where their mouth is and explained in a logical, sensible, neutral way to the devs why Lemmy should send federated deletion requests for example (claims made in that thread that Lemmy doesn't, I haven't verified if this is the case myself), the devs would probably take it on board the same way they removed the mandatory hard coded slur filter.

At the end of the day though, Kbin and Raddle seem like a solution to the general consensus in that thread, yet they get very little mention. The majority of the participants chose to bash rather than to fix, forcing their views on others inconsiderate of people's threat models, and while they have every right to do so, a community with that kind of closed minded perspective is not something I'm into. I'd rather they stay on Reddit 👍

As for me personally... Lemmy could be better, but as a federated network with no need to be supported by ads, no API restrictions, as well as public mod logs for transparency & accountability, I really like it and interested in seeing where it goes. There are inevitably going to be issues, and a lot of the discussions I've seen here on Lemmy show an interest in improving things, vs reddit discussions where it's the opposite.

lemann,

Thanks for posting this update link, nice to see the devs clarifying how stuff works - what they've said sounds completely reasonable to me

TL;DR: Individual post deletion is best-effort while allowing accidental delete actions to be reversed, however full account deletion is more thorough - first overwriting old posts and deleting all your uploaded media from the home instance

lemann,

You could try this

this config snippet is assuming thet you've already got the TLS cert/pem file for lemmy.world elsewhere in your nginx.config

http {
  server {
    listen 80;
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name lemmy.world;

    if ($scheme = "http") {
        return 307 https://$host$request_uri;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://lemmy-ui:1234;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
}

If you get redirected to lemmy.world:1234, then add absolute_redirect off; in the 'server' block

Last thing - 307 is a temporary redirect, you might to change it to a permanent one once you've confirmed it's working as intended

lemann,

Not that I'm aware of sadly

I landed on Plex for music after Groove axed their OneDrive BYOM... before Groove I was pretty much all-in on cloud music services, albeit via bootleg apps using 'private' APIs or scraping (like NewPipe, MyCloudPlayer etc), but disappearing tracks killed cloud music for me.

If/when I do move on from Plex I plan to open up the server's SQLite DB and export all my playlists, which imo might be a bit more involved than most would like

lemann,

I haven't used the random mode on music players in a long while really.

Primarily I listen to playlists via plexamp - once those finish playing, plexamp switches to a 'sonic analysis' mode to auto-generate songs to continue playing (as far as I'm aware). Haven't so far encountered a situation where the same track somehow is always chosen to play.

Moving my movie & TV library to something like Jellyfin would be a no brainer (although I have no plans to do that yet) - however so much has been packed into Plexamp that I'm hesitant to move my music library to another platform with less features just yet

lemann,

I'm not sure if that actually tagged them.. you might need to append @lemmy.ml to it. testing @nutomic

testing 2 @lemmy.ml@nutomic@lemmy.ml

lemann,

That's a really good explanation (if not one of the best IMO) focusing on the effects from a mod perspective. Not surprising that they've got a handy record of Reddit's many past failed promises too

lemann,

The developer hasn't said Infinity's being killed afaik, he appears to be considering having users enter their own Reddit API keys, although really that's going to be a barrier for some

https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/13xb61g/how_will_infinity_react_to_new_api_cost_will_this/jmqnwzp/

This isn't a viable solution in my opinion though, depending on whatever restrictions Reddit chooses. Atm we know the new API won't allow access to NSFW labelled content, but there could be other limitations coming when users start plugging their own keys into apps

lemann,

Those cars that don't have the flecks in the paint look like children's toys

Actually, why do so many modern cars straight up look like oversized toys?

Electric cars are the worst for this IMO. Aside from the Tesla model 3, Nissan leaf and a handful of other ones... everything else looks like an oversized replica remote control toy to me. Some are nice, like the VW minivan, but most look like cheap wannabes. I can't quite put my finger on it

lemann,

Not the person you replied to, but I doubt it personally. Usually "comics" refers specifically to the western Marvel/DC stuff, not Japanese manga where things are very different (from an outsider's perspective like myself anyway)

lemann,

Same for me really, mainly just lurked in my favorite communities on Reddit for the most part. Contemplating checking out some forums too in the meantime to get my daily tech and discussion fix, while the communities grow over here on Lemmy

lemann,

I was contemplating signing up on that instance but couldn't find anything about who runs it, or how likely it was to stick around. I think there was also a thread on there where they refused to accept donations too.

With an average VPS running you about 100-200 quid a year, as a hobby I think it's gonna get expensive when you need to upgrade cores, storage etc. Not to mention you also need to moderate the instance.

For hosting a federated Lemmy to work I think you need a team and possibly a plan for accepting donations if it can't be run out of pocket

lemann,

To save a trip out to reddit, Njalla 🤞

lemann,

Another Jerboa user here, pretty neat app but there are times where it becomes a little unresponsive on my device. Feels pretty similar to Infinity which is something I like.

The lemmyBB project from that list seems pretty neat though, could be an old-school way to browse lemmy on a desktop and might even benefit some communities depending on the primary format of content.

Hoping we get some more Android app variety for Lemmy, although imo we're spoiled for choice when looking at available apps for other federated software

lemann,

Yeah that's a no from me 😂 what causes this anyway? Badly thought out fine-tuning dataset?

Haven't had a response sounding that out of touch from the few LLaMA variants I've messed around with in chat mode
